This — minus the clever asides — could have been written by some fratboy college paper columnist who calls his conquests “whores” and then wears a nice polo to church on Sunday. Virgin/whore much? Tiger Woods’ cheating isn’t a “symptom” of anything. The fact that anyone even cares about his cheating is the real symptom.Continue reading “So Elin Nordegren is a dew-fresh damsel in distress, and those other women Tiger banged are “skanks””

Comfort food: WP Inman, Enya
I only really like Jude Law in “Cold Mountain,” where he’s mostly bleeding from bullet holes: Maybe I’m secretly a sadist. “Cold Mountain” wasn’t that terrific of a movie, so I’m not sure why it is that I always come back to it.

I rarely agree with Zacherek’s reviews, though IContinue reading “Cormac McCarthy’s “faux-arty machismo”? Say what?”
Um, so the response to Elizabeth Lambert’s ponytail-yanking incident isn’t sexist or anything…
Elizabeth Lambert, a University of New Mexico football player (that’s soccer, to my fellow Americans – I think “soccer” is a stupid word and try to use it as little as possible, OK?), was involved in a pretty violent incident on the pitch and it wound up on YouTube. She was suspended from the team,Continue reading “Um, so the response to Elizabeth Lambert’s ponytail-yanking incident isn’t sexist or anything…”
