Are you suffering from a robust, healthy sexual appetite? Does the idea of intercourse with a consenting adult give you a disturbing feeling of excitement and anticipation? Has erotic activity become something you engage in because you want to and not because you have to?

Ryan Adams - “Round and Round” (Ratt Cover)
At this point, an official album of ’80s metal songs interpreted as heartfelt acoustic cuts by Ryan Adams doesn’t seem too far-fetched. Following up last year’s Iron Maiden cover — not to mention versions of a few alt-rock favorites from the era by Bob Mould and Galaxie 500 — Adams capped off his big 2011 return with an equally...

As anyone who watches Fox News (or—more likely if you’re reading this—The Daily Show’s coverage of Fox News) knows, a WAR ON CHRISTMAS has been raging for the past several years. This all-out…

15 infuriating minutes. 60 Minutes reports on how members of Congress can trade stock based on non public information AKA, insider trading. You know, the thing anyone else gets years of prison for.
This will infuriate Republicans, Democrats and anyone who gives half a shit about the current state of our country.
Yet we continue to mock the only people who will stand up to this,...

The DC Reboot Continues →
New week, new comics. But first, great news: J.T. Krul is off Green Arrow. The reign of terror is over! Even better, he’ll be replaced by Keith Giffen. Looks like the wall of pure hate I’ve been…

DC Reboot Week 3: Eh. →
I decided not to pick up all the new DC reboot comics this week. The first week’s selection was mostly mediocre, so this time around I picked up major characters, characters I like, and a few that…
