Poll Report: Stasis

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:36:14 PDT
There are more questions than answers it would seem when it comes to this Democratic primary race, but one thing is beginning to assert itself; the pundit caste, blogosphere, and mainstream media all seem to be far more adept at lowering expectations for Senator Obama than his campaign ever could be. When we look at the interesting polls released today, what stands out to me is that the entire “bittergate” affair has been largely overblown. Indeed, the moral of this story would seem to be tha

Zvents blends local search with current events

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:37:14 PDT
One of the companies exhibiting at Ad:Tech San Francisco this week is Zvents, a local search engine company that specializes in things to do in big cities big and small towns. According to Paul O'Brien, VP of Marketing for Zvents, his local search engine is helping businesses draw foot traffic to their stores, restaurants and events all across the county. That's a bold claim -- so I asked to see a demo for Boston events. My bad. It turns out Boston.com is one of the publisher partners for Zven

Helpful Make-up Tips! Posted on April 15th, 2008 I’ve been talking to my girlfriends about make-up a lot lately and they’ve been suggesting a lot of cool products for me to try.

The CMT Awards Take "One-Hit Wonder" Jokes To An Uncomfortable New Level

Idolator: All About The Music, USA - Apr 15, 2008
 

Last night's CMT Music Awards�the country-music television network's version of its sister network MTV's Video Music Awards�veered into "a little more than slightly excruciating" territory when co-host Miley Cyrus tripped her way through a Taylor Swift intro in which she talked about texting the glittery-guitar-hoisting country protege incessantly, an endless setup to what would be one of many "ha ha, Dad, I'm paying your bills!" zingers that the Hannah Montana star sent in the direction of her father/svengali, "Achy Breaky Heart" singer Billy Ray Cyrus. (Yes, he performed the line dance that sent him and his mullet to stardom back in 1992, the same year his cash cow was sired.) The opening skit, in which Trace Adkins and his really greasy mop tried currying favor with everyone from Donald Trump to the three remaining Presidential candidates in order to get passes to the show, also mined that route; its final punchline was that Billy Ray was making extra scratch by scalping tickets, which were of course hot properties because of his daughter's presence. That girl is going to be so messed up in three years. Full list of winners�which includes three awards for Kellie Pickler, two for Taylor Swift, and one for that super-creepy video where Jon Bon Jovi and Leann Rimes make out�after the jump.



_ Video of the year: Taylor Swift, "Our Song."
_ Male video: Trace Adkins, "I Got My Game On."
_ Female video: Taylor Swift, "Our Song."
_ Group video: Rascal Flatts, "Take Me There."
_ Duo video: Sugarland, "Stay."
_ Breakthrough video: Kellie Pickler, "I Wonder."
_ Collaborative video: Bon Jovi featuring LeAnn Rimes, "Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore."
_ Performance of the year: Kellie Pickler, "I Wonder" from 41st Annual CMA Awards.
_ Supporting character of the year: Rodney Carrington from Trace Adkins' "I Got My Game On."
_ Wide open country video: Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, "Gone, Gone, Gone (Done Moved On)."
_ Tearjerker video: Kellie Pickler, "I Wonder."
_ Comedy video: Brad Paisley, "Online."
_ Video director: Michael Salomon for Toby Keith's "High Maintenance Woman" and Trace Adkins' "I Got My Game On."

War News: Bruce Fein Educated Beyond His Intelligence

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:50:13 PDT
Bruce Fein is a constitutional lawyer and the lawyer part is what has gotten him into trouble here. His entire piece is flawed to his inability to grasp certain facts. I say this because no where in the piece does he cite chapter and verse of the United States Constitution.
