America's Favorite Attention Whore Wins Again

Look, everybody. He's hating
the President some more.
That's hilarious.

For virtually all of my adult life, I've firmly believed that one's political outspokenness is indirectly proportional to his/her comicality. In other words, I hate it when somebody values his politics over his sense of humor. That's why I hate Michael Moore. And Al Franken. And Janeane Garofalo. And Jon Stewart. I hate these people because I used to laugh at them (I even thought Garofalo was funny on SNL for crying out loud!) and now they're basing their entire careers on their hatred for the most boring people on the face of the earth.

Anyway, Michael "Ignore Me and I'll Go Away" Moore wrote an open letter to President Bush. The letter (click here to read it) is filled with jokes, but, dammit, I just can't laugh at it. It's so damn gay it makes me sick. There goes my peptic ulcer....

Wilson Crashes LSU Football Media Day, Is Lucky To Get Out Alive

My first real assignment as a respected sports journalist took me to Tiger Stadium with Red Shtick Magazine's publisher, Jeremy White, for 2004's Media Day. This was to be the day that I was to consider myself a peer with the Sam Kings and Jaques Doucets and Scott Rabalaiseses of Baton Rouge. But, like every other loser who's ever been in over his head, I sucked. I sucked hard. The fact that we were even allowed in the stadium proves that Tiger Stadium security is failing miserably. Here are some excerpts from some of the worst interviews ever conducted....

As Exams Approach, Rock While You Cram

It's cramming season. If you're in college, you have a million tests soon, and you're going to wait until the last minute. I can help you. I won't tell you not to procrasinate; that's like telling teenagers to stop having sex. What I'm here to do is give you a crash-course on Rock 'n' Roll Cramming -- my patented 12-hour cram session, featuring some of the best (and worst) music ever recorded....

Thanks to All Who Made Our Alexandria Experience Great!

118 miles closer to
Branson.

Alexandrites make great audiences! The title of this story says it all, but again, thanks to the Rapides Parish Art Council, The Family Playhouse, and Jonathan Stokes for their hospitality and good vibes!

We took a few photos during the show if you'd like to check 'em out.

Southern University: Greatest American University in the World--Ever

Thank goodness we have Southern. Ten years ago I remember telling my peers, "One day we will be able to buy grades at predominantly Black universities. Then and only then will we have realized the American dream."

"Seriously, we're really stupid."

If you're Joe Blow, you probably think that Southern isn't a great university, especially in light of the scandal involving former assistant registrar Cleo Carroll's selling of higher grades to as many as 541 SU students (the full story can be found in Jeremy White's Sphincter Spotlight), but as they say, the proof is in the pudding. My friends, I have the pudding.

I have obtained a paper written by a SU student -- this is no joke. How I obtained it, I will never tell. Just read the paper and then make your mind up about Southern.
