The other night I went to the U2 concert for the Joshua Tree tour. I have always been a casual fan, but two years ago my best friend introduced me to the Innocence Experience tour, and I was hooked. I talked about going to this concert months leading up to it; even my students knew […]
Dear Nick, Happy 4th of July! The intersection of everything going on in Washington, DC, and the celebration of our declaration of independence from tyranny got me to thinking. We are knee deep in strange times. Our president is a tiny-handed man who is clearly more comfortable mocking daytime television hosts through social media than […]
Now let’s play two truths and a lie: NASA has officially issued a press release denying allegations that it has been abducting children and using them to populate experimental work colonies on Mars. Bill Cosby has begun teaching seminars for celebrities, supervisors and high-income individuals on how to avoid sexual harassment and assault suits. The […]
Rant-some Notes Phillipe and Jorge are furious about President Pussy’s recent Twitter outburst against MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, calling the former, essentially, a stupid, lunatic, facially altered twat, and the latter a psychopath. What has us seeing red is that we haven’t been the target of one of the Orange Orangutan’s immature attacks, […]
When a nuclear bomb explodes, the damage it inflicts does not occur solely at the point of impact.

Comets, Computers and Comey May we now put the sensationalized testimony of former FBI director James Comey before Congress into the mausoleum already containing such equally overhyped events as the extravagantly promoted (non) appearance of Comet Kohoutek in late 1973 and the Y2K “Millenium Bug” that was going to crash every computer in the world […]
The advent of citizen journalists documenting news as it happens was supposed to usher in a new era of transparency and truth. Aliens land in Roswell? Somebody whips out a cell phone, and cover-up becomes an undoable thing. Yay, score one for our little green friends (who are, in fact, still being illegally detained somewhere […]
An Eye on I-195 Phillipe and Jorge were astounded last week by a call for political transparency by none other than Senate President Rubbers Ruggerio. Based on his past behavior at Halitosis Hall, we figured Rubbers would need the equivalent of an ethics NarCan shot if he ever stumbled across good government practices. The senate […]
Complaint Bureau Through our 38 years of writing the Cool, Cool World, people have chided Phillipe and Jorge for having the easiest job in the world, given the constant fodder being presented to us by the gaggle of imbeciles and well-dressed crooks at the General Assembly, the Crimetown-worthy operations of local city and town councils, […]
