As I have said on the air, I root for Sarah Palin to do well in interviews, but this is so Miss Teen South Carolina. Palin is trying to answer the dirty liberal Katie Couric and basically says because some people don’t have maps to shore up our economy, like such as, in the Iraq, such as…
Miss Teen South Carolina on something
This is just so freaking disturbing. A guy pushes a girl out of a car on the Dallas North Tollway after she refuses his advances. Video here.
Funny David Blaine parody: I love his looks to the camera and the crazy acting guys
Lesbians in college basketball?
Jennifer Colli, hot former player
Interesting story in today’s Dallas Morning News full of lesbians and lawsuits. Every Morning News story should include these success-producing ingredients to save the printed word. Jennifer Colli, at right, acknowledges her own past lesbian relationship and accuses SMU coaches of being way too interested in lesbian relationships.
Asked in an interview about the relationships, Colli said they were between players and between coaches, not between players and coaches. She said she was personally aware of other relationships among team members, as well as her own.
“Yes, I was with another team player,” she said.
Juli Colli, hot player who has a sister
Wow, she was aware of HER OWN lesbian relationship? She must really be plugged in- er, I mean, um.
Also quoted in the lawsuit is Jennifer Colli’s older sister, Juli. Enjoy her goodness too.
Look at me, as I look loving down on them, hoping all our our lesbian dreams come true.
Lesbians, lesbians, lesbians…
NOTE: There is no indication the Juli Colli is a lesbian. She is just hot and relevant and worthy of a picture posting.
Talking Points Volume One Reaction
Kat Dennings interview coming soon
“Talking Points” was picked up by the City Hall Blog of the Dallas Morning News. Dave Levinthal may be literally correct in his assessment of that particular post, but I do not hate all blog comment leavers. In fact, I enjoy a good discussion. It just seems like good discussion often takes a back seat to the clever parade- people tearing each other apart like crabs in a barrel hoping to get discovered by Gawker.
The democratization of publishing has done many good things. It has created new media voices and given us a clearer view of ourselves. Unfortunately, too often we nose up to the glass to see our neighbor with a shampoo bottle up his ass and a Barely Legal on the duvet.
Asking people to police themselves only works 3% of the time (I got that stat off the guy’s shampoo bottle). That is why discussion should be moderated. Although we like our internet to be free range, I think the overall quality is better when discussion sites are moderated. TV discussion is moderated. Radio discussion is moderated. Op ed is moderated. Blog comments on public sites should be moderated well. The shiny free candy of anonymous comment-leaving can’t be resisted by the vitriolic jackass who gets to be alpha for two sentences.
Ever see a TV reporter doing a live shot? You see those clowns jumping around in the background? That is what unmoderated comments are- a live TV camera that can’t be resisted. And most of those people hopping up and down giving devil horns and Eastside when the reporter is talking about a house fire are respectable people to someone. But you run the raw meat of anonymous comments or a live camera in front of them and all of a sudden they are a monkey on crack, excavating their own bowels and flinging away.
Selections from the “Talking Points” notebook
Public blogs such as D Magazine’s Frontburner and Dallas Observer’s Unfair Park should moderate reader comments and never feel guilty about it. Just because you have invited a reader’s comments in no way means you should feel obligated to publish them. You built the brand and we are not entitled to your platform.
Don’t leave anonymous comments or send anonymous email. If we require accountability from others, we should offer it ourselves.
Most public discourse is thinly veiled screaming and there is a bunch of screaming because it is pleasurable to scream.
We all seek the mental shortcuts of categorical thinking, but it is a mistake to assign someone to a category and then hold them responsible for the qualities that WE associate with the category.
Others are your Rorschach tests.
Many non-public people privately enjoy the fishbowl scrutiny of public people. We feel it is a bit of comeuppance to public people for the perceived “benefits” of being known by strangers.
Being known by strangers is not the junior high fantasy we think it is. You are permanently exposed to bullies that you are not allowed to react to.
Flawed logic- “Public people know that we are going to be vicious in our treatment of them, so we are justified in our treatment because they knew the deal when they became successful.“
Your hand is an acceptable date.
Most political positions are emotions wrapped with words.
A girl with curvy hips is better than one with strong abs.
Bacon makes it better.
