Salman Rushdie will appear on Real Time With Bill Maher tonight on HBO. The other two guests are Andrew Sullivan and Ben Affleck. Don’t let Affleck stop you from watching. Everything that man says turns to gold. Truly, when he speaks it’s like he’s printing money.

Yesterday I received more hits than any other day since I started this blog. I look around”¦I look around and I see a lot of new faces. Which means a lot of you have been breaking the first two rules of Fight Clu”¦wait, that’s not right. I want you to talk about the blog. Spread […]

I’ve got a few leftovers to dish out: Sometimes late at night I wonder what happened to all the Sasquatches. Finally I now know why, thanks to Napoleon Dynamite and Pedro.

Kevin Smith begins filming the sequel”¦oh wait I’m sorry, follow-up, to Clerks next week. He has promised to film a diary of the production and post two video entries per week; although with his habitual tardiness I wouldn’t hold my breath on that. I think you’ll find the first entry pretty funny. I’m excited about […]
