A Distorted Reality Is Now A Necessity To Be Free- Elliott Smith

Ruston Way Waterfront
In my day, “tap that ass” referred to having sex. Apparently, someone in the white house has taken this phrase literally, because the Obama administration has “tapped” G.W., along with Bill Clinton, to coordinate the humanitarian aid to Haitian earthquake victims.
A man [...]

Magic Ball

January 5th, 2010 · No Comments

I’m at the age when I can freely admit the things that I will never be good at, or even slightly capable. Basketball is one of those things. When I watch this clip, it’s so alien to me that I don’t have any sense of  envy for those skills; it just looks like magic. The [...]

I remember the day that John Lennon was murdered- December 8th, 1980. I was five years old, playing with my toys, and I heard my mom scream in the next room. I ran in to see what was the matter, and found both of my parents weeping and holding eachother, listening to the news on [...]

Sexy Vegetable Ad Banned from Superbowl

January 28th, 2009 · No Comments

I’m not sure what’s weirder: PETA’s lame attempt at connecting sex and vegetables, or the fact that a NBC spokesperson said that the ad ”depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards.” Regardless, I love asparagus.

Ghost Ride the Stimulus Package

January 6th, 2009 · No Comments

 
Economists for Peace and Security.
Here’s a great video of nobel winner Joseph Stiglitz at the New School in New York. What a cool dude.
I wish I had an informed, fired-up opinion about whether or not Barack Obama’s massive economic stimulus package will “revive” the sagging economy,  but I really have no idea. I rely on [...]

The Year Begins.

It’s incredible to me that we can watch this video on youtube, during the conflict in the Gaza Strip, while the cameras and crew are actually in the war zone. Al Jazeera English is priceless.
Ghost Ride The News’ own news correspondent, Edip Kemal, sent me these stories of America’s Constitution-Free Zone from the ACLU blog, [...]

National Public Radio: Too Hardcore

December 12th, 2008 · No Comments

Even though there have been record-breaking numbers of people listening to the Marketplace host’s weird lisp, NPR announced they’re still pulling the plug on several shows and laying off a bunch of people. Corporate donors must think that Morning Edition has gotten a little too radical, because NPR’s corporate funding has been drying up. [...]
