I spend a great deal of time and energy trashing television. Most of what emits from the boob tube sucks. There are so few shows I can actually stomach. If the networks launch 20 new programs, it's most likely I'll reject all 20. Maybe, just maybe, one will capture my
Back in late July I wrote about the fact a character on The Simpsons is coming out of the closet next season. I speculated as to who it may be and now I know the answer to this question that has been plaguing me all summer. I don't want to

With the St. John's Maple Leafs moving to Toronto next season, they're holding a name the team contest. There are three names I'd be okay with and they're listed below in order of preference. St. Pats - I love the idea of bringing back this nickname. Prior to being called

I keep having to remind myself that I can't cast a vote for President of the United States of America on November 2nd, 2004. I'm reading daily about the American federal election and following it very closely. Throw in the fact I've been voting a lot lately and it only

32 years ago today, on September 28, 1972, "The Goal" was scored. There was only 34 seconds left in the eighth and final game of the Summit Series, and only a win would allow Canada to lay claim to victory in the series against the USSR. 32 years ago today,

The mediocre CFNY Edge 102 morning show is holding another annoying contest this week they call The Hunt for Mikes. The objective is to come to their store front studio with more Mikes than anyone else. As I see it, it's a lame, one-note joke that's already boring me to
The good news: NBC chose the 50th anniversary of the "Tonight" show tonight to announce that Jay Leno will be succeeded by "Late Night" host Conan O'Brien. The bad news: The very unfunny Jay Leno will not step down until 2009.
Sarah McLachlan - World On Fire - I find it awfully easy to like Sarah McLachlan. She's Canadian, she's smart, she's funny and she's talented. This video for "World On Fire" is very powerful. This video costs $150,000. What's wrong with this video? Well, it only cost $15. $150,

Earlier this morning I found myself watching an infomercial for a series of albums from Time Life. This set was a "collection of the most timeless love songs from the '50s, '60s, and '70s" called Lifetime Of Romance. It's not a style of music I'd ever hear anywhere else so
Monster: 8 out of 10. If I didn't know that was Charlize Theron playing the role of Aileen Carol Wuornos I wouldn't have guessed it in a million years. This is a seriously awesome performance by Theron and it makes the movie. Her Oscar was well deserved, I'm surprised they

I've written about Al before. You can read what I wrote about him to mark the 60th anniversary of D-Day here. Also, I posted this picture of Al here. When I worked at McDonald's as a teenager, he was a regular customer. He was often sporting medals from the second
Willard: 5.5 out of 10. This is a dark, creepy little flick about a man and his rats. The man is played by the highly under-rated Crispin Glover and the rats are played by...well...a bunch of rats. If the sight of a bunch of rats is too
