TV ratings don't accurately measure the size the audience. It doesn't matter.

Jacob Dickerman has no interest in selling you a book.

Yes! I admit it. I shot that man in the face. And I say, I'd do it again. Because I knew! Deep down in my heart of hearts, I knew that he was after my daughter.

Local TV News Obsessed With Candy Epidemic (VIDEO)

Baratunde Thurston, 04.05.2009

Comedian and Vigilante Pundit

The CBS affiliate in Birmingham, AL was not amused by a product I can vouch for as amazingly tasty: craque. It's a candy that is named for its addictive quality and packaged to look like its namesake.

The Bottom Line on the Bottomless Cup

Founder of thecheappop.com, pop culture/music writer, and author of "Sweet Stache"

A few years back, I went to a nearby diner for some iced coffee and was turned down on a refill. Why is it coffee coming from the same pot can be bottomless yet tossing in a few ice cubes makes it not so?

A writer from New York

Howard Dean is sitting in a chair in his underwear, eating a bowl of beans with a fork. His hair is really messed up. The TV is blaring an interview between President Barack Obama and NBC News Anchor, Brian Williams.

Shut That Vagina Down: The Nadya Suleman Misconception(s)

A NYC Based Stand-Up Comedian and Writer

I mean its ridiculous. A baby momma 14 times over should not be living with her parents in a modest 3-bedroom house in Bellflower, California.

Why Do You Hate Us, Sarah?

Editor-in-Chief, Air America Media

All right, Governor Palin, I'm going to hell. And do you know what really hurts? You don't care. A God-liking lady such as yourself should have some ...

Springsteen Sells Out -- To Wal-Mart!

Lisa Derrick, 01.25.2009

Pop culture journalist Lisa Derrick writes and edits La Figa at Firedoglake.com

There are a number of reasons Springsteen's move to sell exclusively through the mega-retailer is, um, really confusing, if not downright contradictory to the Springsteen hagiography.

Milk Robbed of Globes

Chris Goldberg, 01.14.2009

Sean Penn nails it in Milk (even the Queens accent, which I can personally attest to as a Sunnyside resident). The movie is nearly flawless. It puts most biopics to shame.

Unprepared, Unexpected, Unbelievable

Jamie Malanowski, 01.02.2009

Author of the satirical novel The Coup

Sarah Palin surprised us with her "understanding" of the vice president's duties by saying, "They're in charge of the US Senate...so they can really get in there and make a lot of good policy changes."

Speaking for my tiny little chunk of the liberal blogosphere, I don't like Joe Lieberman. I was disgusted by Hillary's campaign. And I couldn't be happier with Obama's decisions.

Did John McCain Lose Arizona?

Denis Campbell, 12.19.2008

We still do not have a final Presidential result in the state of Missouri, 14 days after the election. As was shown time and again this election, our nation's voting systems are badly broken.

High School Musical Chairs II

Elizabeth Austin, 12.13.2008

When all your friends read that article in the paper, they may think Milo is turning his back on the people whose hard work and contributions helped to get him elected. That's going to make it tough for him to function as an effective student leader when all this fuss over Barry dies down.

Lisa Derrick, 12.08.2008

Pop culture journalist Lisa Derrick writes and edits La Figa at Firedoglake.com

Prop 8 was confusing. Courtney Love is often confused. But this is really insane. From her friends-only blog, CLove seems to be celebrating the passage of the same-sex marriage ban.
