  • Behind ABC's Sex-Slave Story

    Also from Counterpunch: Debbie Nathan analyzes the Primetime Live story on sex-slave/human-traffic of (gasp!) American white girls. For example the girl Mya wasn’t a sex-slave, she was simply a prostitute: The “sex slave” part is a hoax. Police in Mesa, Arizona and Union City, California, say that Miya — who was 19 and thus legally […]

  • Tyra Banks and Dolphins

    Yes. You saw it. So did I. Another sign of the coming apocalypse and that we’re all going to be Left Behind.

  • William Gibson's Script for Alien 3

  • Tyra Banks Unloads on Tiffany on Top Model 4

    I have never watched America’s Next Top Model before until the other day where Tyra laid into this girl. TYRA: Be quiet, Tiffany! Be quiet! [so loud the sound engineer can’t compensate] Stop it! I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this. When my mother yells like this it’s because she […]

  • The Apprentice Seasons 4, Episode 10

    (from the Thanksgiving trip – written on Thursday, November 24) It is nice to know that the news here in Louisville is just as full of fear-mongering as the news in Chicago. You can’t go wrong with panicked mothers and children at risk… of something… somewhere… We are sitting here watching The Apprentice. Sometimes I […]
