Shill time. I’ve got a new post up on DipDive  one that dares raise an issue that many Obama-heads might not appreciate. Here’s the first paragraph: Take a look around the urban landscape: t-shirts, murals, and posters all boast pop-art odes to Barack Obama. He attracts celebrity followers wherever he goes, and his mere …

Cindy McCain Could Be Society's Savior
As I was toiling around the Internet the other day, I came across this severe photo of Cindy McCain (are there any other type?) and a thought occurred to me: if everyone had a pocket-sized version of this pic, we could have a utopian society. Think about it. Any moment you’re contemplating cheating, slacking off, …
COOKIE MONSTERS: Michelle and Cindy Get Their Baking On
Hey y’all [said in Paula Deen voice]. I’ve written another post for DipDive.com, and this one focuses on Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain’s respective cookie recipes  apparently the key to this election. Anyway, I’m curious as to how these recipes will turn out, but I’m not sure if I have the patience (or capacity) …

Obamamania Strikes Another Innocent Coffee Cup!
Yesterday, I detailed the mortifying experience of spilling an iced coffee on a reporter’s PDA while discussing the Obamas. Little did I realize that this would be the start of some sort of national trend. It appears as though merely mentioning Obama, or specifically, Michelle Obama, causes coffee cups — whether they be tall or …

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 …
Super Obama Brothers?
Time to shill again. I’ve written yet another column for Dipdive, and this one centers on Barack Obama’s assertion that videogames shouldn’t be raising our children. To that I say PISH-POSH! Videogames can be fine parental substitutions. It’s all about finding the right titles. And what titles would those be? Funny you should ask. I …
OMG! I JUST GOT A PHONE CALL FROM BARACK OBAMA!
So there I was, sitting in my parents’ house, working on my writing when suddenly, the phone rang. I figured it was my mom or dad asking if I’d moved the chairs from the basement to the dining room; so I went over to the phone and answered it with a customary “Hello?” “Hello,” said …

'AMERICAN IDOL' TO POLITICAL CANDIDATES: And You Are??
Gosh, there was so much American Idol this week, and very little of it was actually any good. Quite frankly, I’m a bit exhausted from it all, and I haven’t even seen the results show yet (although, I know who was ejected). I’m gonna work on a little wrap up this morning, but while you …

Will Clinton Seek Out The All Important Trishelle Endorsement?
With Heidi Montag’s ringing endorsement of John McCain last week, one has to wonder which MTV reality stars will the other candidates be courting in their bid for White House supremacy. I delve into this deeply important topic in my latest article for DipDive, the new site from will.i.am (yes, yes, I’ve mentioned the site …

Politics and Idol: A Match Made in Heaven?
With the all too early exit of Amanda Overmyer from American Idol, I couldn’t help but get downright introspective. What sort of a world is this where smokey-voiced, sartorially challenged singers can’t find a mass market in America anymore? It’s not, right I tell you. It’s not! Seriously, I was bummed that Amanda got the …
