Archives for January 2006

KERNEL PANIC

January 31, 2006 by Tim Riley

From "Goodbye Terry Gross, we never knew ye—on liberal media denial" by Joe Bageant, in the Online Journal: As Helen Caldicott recently put it: “What’s to become of us? Ask any experienced mental health practitioner what happens to a person who constructs and tries to maintain a life based on denial … [Read more...]

EXXON FILES FOR BANKRUPTCY

January 27, 2006 by Tim Riley

CLICK THE FALSIE: Did you know Sylvie Simmons has a whole page of interviews posted, and claims metal men are more respectful of women then "garden-variety" rockers? Wasn't that the joke in BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE...? KPFA has a pretty ROBUST podcast page Is this really Sylvie … [Read more...]

HOUSEBUCKET PROGENY

January 23, 2006 by Tim Riley

REVIEWS OF THE MONTH From Ed Condran in Giantmag.com (Beckensale issue, page 98): PLEDGE THIS! (2005) It's the female ANIMAL HOUSE starring Paris Hilton. I'm the professor of sexology and I'm obsessed with paris. She did very well considering that she's not an actor and not of this planet. I think … [Read more...]

NOT NOW WHEN?

January 10, 2006 by Tim Riley

As a longtime ER fanatic, I come to praise its latest themes: Maura Tierney is getting BETTER, and their abortion episode last week, replete with "fundamentalists" (which they slyly equated with Catholicism), pushed a lot of over-familiar buttons in ingenious ways. John Leguizamo's so good he plays … [Read more...]

THE WAY NAOMI LOOKS AT KING KONG…

January 1, 2006 by Tim Riley

Ken Auletta on Judy Miller? Did you gulp hard after you bumped into "(A disclosure: My wife, a literary agent, represents both Keller and Miller.)" So did every other self-respecting journalist. Seth Mnookin's piece in Vanity Fair was superior. PREDICTION OF THE YEAR: Scooter Libby Gets Pardoned … [Read more...]
