Amanda Palmer of the singing duo The Dresden Dolls has posted on her personal website an ode honoring the surviving Tsardaev brother, as reported by The Daily Caller.
Simply entitled “A Poem for Dzhokhar,” Palmer waxes poetically on how difficult life was and currently is for the accused terror bomber.
NOT a Boston Marathon bomber
As reported here, the reaction of some Twitter users to the revelation the Boston Marathon bombers were from Chechnya speaks volumes about the quality of American schools. Sadly, in recent days, television news crews have provided reminders that their own employees are often no better prepared for the rigors of dealing with foreign names and places.
And any other truth inconvenient to their liberal Democratic Party agenda.
But at least Augusta National now has two female members. And, as with the catch-all “the Secretary shall decide” if Obamcare is otherwise inconvenient to Big Government regulators, CBS can always cite the calling in of a fan to allege rule violations to justify not disqualifying ratings-driver Tiger Woods for rules violations that otherwise require disqualification:
Here is something veddy interesting to consider as you go about your average day.
It looks like North Korea is set to launch a mid-range missile on Wednesday, April 10th. This could be a bluff but maybe not. The missile could be nuclear but hopefully not.
Some people clearly just don’t know when to quit. One of them is comedic actor Jim Carrey. Believing he had tapped into the elusive humor in the debate over gun control, he concocted a scathing 5-minute sendup of people who believe in the Second Amendment — and predictably received flak. Now he is attempting to rebut his critics.
“Is it true that you eat babies?”
How many Jews does it take to screw in a light bulb? How do Jews hide their horns when their heads are uncovered? These are just two of the infinitely many questions that might be put to the “Jew in the Box” currently on display at the Jewish Museum in Berlin.
The controversial exhibit, whose literal title is “The Whole Truth, everything you wanted to know about Jews,” is intended to be educational, the Associated Press reports.
Maybe Michael Moore’s problem in attempting to get inside the heads of parents whose children were slain in the shooting at Newtown is that he doesn’t know what it’s like to lose a child. Or maybe his problem is that he’s Michael Moore.
Fridge containing artist’s forbidden sperm
A controversial piece of art gives a new definition to “seminal work.” New York Magazine reports that a Master of Fine Arts candidate at New York’s School of Visual Arts will not be given the chance to display his final project — a refrigerator containing 68 vials of his own semen. The school claims that the decision to ban Marc Bradley Johnson’s labor of self-love, titled “Take This Sperm and Be Free Of Me,” was predicated on concerns over viewer safety.
Martial arts
Confessions up front: I rarely watch the Oscars broadcast, and I had to do a search on Seth McFarlane to find out what his day job is. That’s just how immersed I am in popular culture. (I still don’t understand who the Kardashians are, and why Bruce Jenner seems to be involved, in spite of having it explained to me more than once by my younger, hipper sisters.)
So I don’t know if last night’s broadcast differed significantly Continue reading
The Great Emancipator, a great moment, a great mistake and the Oscars
DeVine Law, even during our increasingly strict TV sabbatical of the past several years, always watches the Academy Awards even if we don’t see most of the nominated movies until they appear years later on TNT. We especially miss the days when Billy Crystals and Johnny Carsons hosted the event, but the annual show itself is usually very entertaining no matter the host and we look forward to seeing if Seth MacFarlane is a true Family Guy in that role tonight.
