LINK: It’s Good to Have Influential Friends
When the wagons start circling, they don't waste any time in firing up the Howitzer, do they? Heidi MacDonald, a highly respected blogger who's known Charles Brownstein since he was 15 years old, has now set her sights on Buzzscope and me: The buzz on BUZZSCOPE Folks, I think it's time to cut Buzzscope loose. I really do. They're in the cornfield. If Gonzalez had an insight into actual journalistic ethics, he wouldn't be going around making these jaw dropping statements that are digging him deeper and deeper into the hole he seemingly can't see through his smug-colored glasses of…
COMMENT: Infinite Endings, Civil Beginnings
It's been a little while since I couldn't wait until I got home to read a specific comic book, just HAVING to read it on the train ride back to work from Midtown Comics.

It was one of the biggest things we debated when she decided to come forward publicly, and while I understood both her…
LINK: New Superman Returns Trailer
"Don't make me angry.You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.Click on my bald head to see for yourself." Ohh that Lex! He's so funny when he screams. It made me laugh in agony.You on the other hand may have a different reaction. Perhaps you'll slouch in your chair after watching this trailer. While the first one released months ago left me wanting more, this latest effort deflated my expectations.Trailers can make shitty movies seem like good ones, and good movies seem great. So what do you have when you see a shitty trailer? I guess we'll have to wait till…
