Sorry for the lack of blog posts yesterday. I’m in Chicago for the weekend, and I haven’t had time to blog. The good news though is that I should have a FLOG on Monday. (Not to mention a few random photos of deep dish pizza and Dave Matthews — not together though.) Stay tuned…

LIFE TO HILLARY CLINTON: Wah Wah Waaaaah
Well, after a long fought and riveting battle, it looks as though Barack Obama has finally vanquished the Clinton Thunder, which is good news for some, disappointing news for others. I can’t even imagine what Hillary Clinton must be feeling right now  assuming she’s accepted her inevitable fate. Odds are she still thinks she …
TOP CHEF PHOTOCAP: Every Hog Has Its Day
Well, Top Chef headed down to Puerto Rico last night for part one of its finale, and I have to say, I was none to happy with the results. The outcome was a veritable “FUCK YOU!” to the audience; although, I suppose I can understand the judges’ rationale. Truth is that since we can’t eat …
Yo Ho Ho And A Bottle Of Dumb
Leave it to Heidi and Spencer to upstage the most jaw-dropping photo of the week. For more Speidi escapades in the Magic Kingdom, check out photos of them and their surprisingly wide array of Disney headware at A Socialite’s Life.

Reality TV Destroys Careers, Even For People On 'The Hills'
IT’S SO SAD! Jessica Trent. Gavin Beasley. Elodie Otto. These are the brave souls who selflessly shared their blanks stares, their disapproving glances, and their penchant for Baked Salmon rolls all so we could enjoy that much more of The Hills. And what have they gotten in return? NOTHING. That’s right, ever since landing primo …

SHOCKING NEWS: Sometimes I Go Outside
Yesterday was a pitch-perfect day here in Los Angeles. The sky was without a single cloud, the sun was bright, and the temperature was in the high 70s to low 80s. Normally with such great weather, I celebrate by opening my blinds and letting the sunshine into my living room, but instead, I decided to …
Obnoxious Teens Vs. Parking Enforcement: Who Will Win???
Living in West Hollywood, my neighborhood is routinely patrolled by parking enforcement officers, who quietly stalk their prey from the comfort of their white, eco-friendly Priuses — waiting for that orgasmic moment when they can slap a ticket down on a permit-lacking vehicle and tow it away. Their Orwellian presence rivals a godlike power to …

Stalin, Osama Bin Laden Infiltrate Sherbet Land, Peach Beach, and the Rainbow Road
Lenny Stals takes a ride in the Mushroom Kingdom In one of the stranger investigative reports that surfaced this weekend, The Feed writes that Nintendo has banned the name “Hitler” from being used in its online Mario Kart Wii universe, noting that perhaps a ranting, anti-Semitic, fascist mass-murderer might not totally mix with the more …
