Topher Grace as Venom in Spider-Man 3? Wanna run that by me again?
“We have really great people though as the villains in this film, Thomas Haden Church and Topher Grace — Venom and Sandman,” said [Kirsten] Dunst, who plays Mary Jane Watson in the Spidey films.
“Maybe I wasn’t supposed to say that,” she added [...]
On a personal note, I love the current weather in Chicago. It’s the perfect temperature. So, for records’ sake: 60 degrees Fahrenheit, with a 7-mph wind — that appears to be what I’m really groovin’ at. [Alternatively, a few other outlets are saying it's more like 54-56 degrees, so I [...]
What the HELL?!?!?!!
A congressional panel on Tuesday is expected to scrutinize the decision to keep ousted Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Michael Brown on the federal payroll.

Or get groped by one?
Obviously, a picture that was never supposed to make it off the Lucasfilm ranch …
From Richard Roeper’s column today:
From the Los Angeles Times: A 14-year-old student at a Christian school in Ontario, Calif., has been expelled because her parents are lesbians.
“Your family does not meet the policies of admission,” wrote Ontario Christian School Supt. Leonard Stob.
The girl’s parents have been together for 22 years and have two other daughters, [...]

Sure enough, my back has been bugging me today thanks to sleeping almost on the ground. B&B has AeroBeds in stock, so a replacement purchase definitely is in the works. Oww.
Well, it’s official — the air mattress I’ve been using can’t hold air anymore. I woke up at about 2:30 am to find it mostly deflated; I reinflated it and woke up at 6:00 am to find my shoulder touching the floor. Guess I’ll see if Bed, Bath & Beyond have any in [...]

Eric Zorn: “Minnesota Fabrics. Service Merchandise. Egghead Software. Bonanza Steakhouse. Sizzler Steakhouse. Chess King.”
In honor of Field’s imminent demise, Tribune columnist Zorn lists massive amounts of [...]
I ran across an interesting question on Ask Metafilter. The questioner asked, quite simply, how he could become a great guy. Someone posted a link to a similar discussion about how someone could be cool, and then reposted a bit of wisdom that was given in that thread. I thought it was [...]
My dad forwarded me, a few weeks ago, an article published in the Boston Globe about how music can get through to Alzheimer’s patients when nothing else can do. Says the article:
Jeanette Rosa-Brady of the Massachusetts chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, said that Alzheimer’s patients who can no longer speak can sometimes sing a [...]
God bless Phil Donahue! My respect for the man has quintupled after seeing him shout down Bill O’Reilly on O’Reilly’s own show with nearly every single thing I could personally think of to tell to that neocon twit. Here’s a few random samplings of my favorite moments, but don’t miss the transcript and [...]
Well, as you can see, I now have ‘asides’ working, and thanks to some fixes done by the author of Now Reading, that’s working fine as well. I have an full archive page (although I want to tinker with that a bit more).
Now, the last really big thing I’d like is that I’m hoping [...]
