Save My Soul From Social Media Consultants!
I hate to be harsh, but my Twitter stream is too clogged with people pitching their social media chops.posted by Kim Garretson # 3:07 PM
Have You Been 401-KO'd?
I'm a fan of vintage Russian propaganda posters rallying the populous. How about we rally ourselves and do something about the greedy bastards who cratered our 401(k)s?posted by Kim Garretson # 2:57 PM
Twitter Twitter Time Taker
When Twitter'ers post multiple times together, I don't mind those with something useful or entertaining to say, but when their dribble & drool wastes my time, and fills my page, FAIL!posted by Kim Garretson # 1:59 PM
Shut Up Pitch Putz
As an advisor to start-up companies, I have to suffer a few fools who keep pitching me stupid new biz ideas every few months, and never once succeed with any of them.

Monetizers of Your Social Graph
Since my advisory work is aimed at emerging media & marketing companies and technologies, I am a cheerleader for monetizing social media. I just don't trust some of the snarky deals I see in this area.posted by Kim Garretson # 1:48 PM

Okay, when you're doing satire, there's a thin between it and being snarky. Perhaps I crossed it with this one, but Cheney has been incensing me with his cheerleading for torture.posted by Kim Garretson # 1:02 PM

Dueling Dunces. The reality show Fear Factor was only the first to humiliate its idiot competitors. Now we have to suffer too many dunces dancing across our TV screens each week.
Summer Gas Gouging. If the forecast is accurate, look for $4 gas again this summer, thanks to all the bastards around the globe, and here, that are only concerned with their own profits.

Please Confirm the Death of Mullets. I was beginning to worry over the last few years that the mullet was creeping back onto the heads of creeps. But now I think it's been a few months since I spotted this species.

Hooked On TV Remodeling Speed. According to USA Today, now that TV remodeling programs show amazing transformations in only 30 minutes, many homeowners now yearn for quicker makeovers in their own homes.

Meaty Absurdity. It's advancing slowly, but the move away from unhealthy, high-fat meat-obsessed diets seems to gaining more media attention. CBS Sunday Morning covered the story on Ap 26.

Michael, please stay out of the public eye.
Why did he continue to bury himself with stupid behavior that put a nail in the coffin of his career? Maybe because he just needed global attention in any form he could trigger it.

Are American companies moving too quickly to profit from Iraqi rebuilding? Maybe when interior designers in fushia chemical suits move in to decorate the hole in the affluent neighborhood that might be burying Saddamnit.

For Love or Money - Worst Reality Show of the Decade
Why is Erin worming her way into our lives now that the TV show For Love or Money 2 features her having dumped one poor sap and now getting 15 dolts all lathered up. She is The Thing that just won't leave our TVs.

A buddy of ours takes great pride in supposedly tricking his wife so he doesn't have to go to the doctor. Another guy we know did the same thing, and he nearly died. We say: don't be stupid men.

Sadamnit, your horrid legacy will poison the world for decades.
Sadam. So he said he’d rather die than leave – and took 1000s with him. He needed some testosterone-blocking procedures.

What the Hell is That Thing?
I'm a big fan of modern medicine. However, the parade of high tech devices that the docs march out to probe for answers is another matter.

So, every time habitual criminal and rusted-brain Iron Mike delivers a blow to our beliefs that no one can sink lower in behavior, the media says we've surely seen the last of him, thank goodness. Then, greed among the pay-per-view industry and boxing scam-bags seeps back in. Now we must once-again suffer this flesh-chomping fool and his new face tattoo.
Joe Millionaire. All you could do is snort in disgust at a chap whom Dave Barry says "has the IQ of a lawn ornament. Watch for Joe to return as the supposed heir to the emperor's throne in Hong Kong, and attract more dim bulb women like Melissa. The pride of Coon Rapids, Minn., Melissa told Joe she wanted to be a 'mercenary' and 'bathe the children'.

Some organic foods and supplements probably work, but trying to tango through all the choices to weed out the wacky ones is tough.
My friend Mike, who used to love SUV's and now drives a Mini, takes his life into his own hands every day as big urban assault vehicles put him in their sights. Must be the testosteronely-challenged

Please tell me it's not so. I read that a TV show has a bachelor writing and reciting love poems to a batchelorette as a way to win her heart on national TV.
Let me just say I'm glad I never sipped the grape juice.
