Calling Yourself Something Doesn't Make it So
Last week Beyonce came out and said that she had an alter-ego named Sasha Fierce that comes out of her when she is performing and acts all wild and crazy, unlike her normal, ladylike behavior. Have you ever heard her interviewed? She speaks super slow with a semi-retarded southern drawl and spews nothing but pablum.
Above is the new promo picture for her new album. She looks neither fierce nor Russian, though I do like those shoes.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Give This Man a Job
Ben affleck hasn't really done much lately but he sure was awesome as Keith Olberman on SNL. 8 minutes of talking too fast and being indignant and he only screwed up once. Now I want to see someone do Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh, just to be fair.
Yma Sumac Dead at 86
I love how celebrities create a new identity intended to spark the interest of the public, and we suckers fall for it.
Yma Sumac was an incredible singer who had her heyday in the 1950's. She claimed to hail from Peru, a decendant of Incan royalty. 
Her album, Voice of Xtabay sold a half million copies, she starred in movies and even sang at Carnegie Hall.
R.I.P. Amazing lady, and condolences to Billy, who introduced me to her and is probably very sad right now.
Still Hot at 40
This is Helena Christensen.
She is almost 40 years old.
She probably earned a nice paycheck for these Agent Provocateur ads.
She's still effing hot.
I hate Helena Christensen.
Happy Birthday Adam Ant
A happy 54th going out to the guy who invented Revolutionary soldier/Native American/Cowboy drag. Did I leave anything out?

Quote of the Day
I've always felt, in all my books, that there is a deep decency in the American people and a native intelligence - providing they have the facts, providing they have the information.
So here we are. We have a choice to make.

McCain on SNL
It was John McCain's turn to use the SNL spotlight to drum up votes, and he didn't do too bad. His wife looks like she's been working for QVC for decades, perfect hand moves.
Don't bother with the Starbucks ad at the end. They're giving away free regular coffee if you vote on Tuesday. I make better stuff at home with day old grounds.
Studs Terkel Dead at 96
He was a Pulitzer prize winning author and a champion of the working man. His books include "Division Street" and "The Good War." I realize that he lived a good, long life, but it would have been nice if he was here to see the first black president of the United States.
