Nader hit with Pie

As if the California race wasn’t crazy enough, a former candidate for US President got hit with a pie in the face when endorsing Peter Camejo for Governor. Funnier still is that they suspect it was a Democrat activist (a party with somewhat similar political views) who dislikes the fact that the Greens end up stealing otherwise Democrat votes.

Last Comic Sucks

I don’t know if anyone else was watching Last Comic Standing, but what a total f’n rip off. Rich Vos and Dave Mordal, far and away the two funniest guys out there, didn’t even make the final two comics. In fact, Dave was eliminated early on because he was beaten head to head by the ultimate winner (and least funny comedian) Dat Phan.

I’m truly disheartened with the viewers’ sense of humor. I also wouldn’t rule out the possibility of a Hideki Matsui Asian Invasion-like voting situation. Seriously, all this guy did in his stand up was do Asian voice impressions of his mother and tell awful jokes. And during the show, he just acted weird and didn’t say anything funny. Nice choice, America.

This just in: Britney not a Virgin

It turns out Britney Spears really did have sex with Justin Timberlake, by her own admission.

“I’ve only slept with one person my whole life,” she said. “It was two years into my relationship with Justin, and I thought he was the one. But I was wrong!”

I’m sure she can look forward to making that mistake many more times…

Great Game

I don’t know what you were doing last night, but I was home on the computer watching the Red Sox win 25-8. I think you know it’s a bad sign when the first inning takes 50 minutes, you use three pitchers, and the opposing team scores 10 runs before a single out is recorded.

Other notable and hilarious statistics: Johnny Damon was a homerun away from hitting for the cycle in one inning.

Nothing like a little drug-induced research

A police spokesman said: “The suspect and victim were trying to demonstrate their belief that this type of protective vest could withstand a knife attack. Obviously that was incorrect.”

For Love or Money

The idea for Fox’s new show “For Love or Money” has an interesting enough premise that I’ll probably watch it. It meets my two criteria for a solid reality TV show: a high likelihood of sex and a good shot at tears. The two most entertaining things to see on reality television is someone having sex, and someone crying/fighting (and if they took place at the same time, the show would probably be award-winning). Although I still think the best combination of these two elements was on the short-lived Love Cruise, probably the second best display was on Temptation Island (the original) which seems to be surviving the test of time.

This show probably won’t be as good when it comes to crying and fighting, but for a million bucks you’d better believe there will be some sex. Oh wait, maybe there will be a chance at some fighting:

The network on Monday said it would continue to air the reality series “For Love or Money,” despite discovering that its star hid the fact he left the U.S. Marine Corps after being disciplined for groping a female officer.

…Campos rushed into the woman’s room and grabbed her breasts. The woman said she struck Campos in the groin with her knee, causing him to enter the woman’s bathroom and vomit.
