This morning I got an email from some jackass referring to himself as Timothy Stuff. Already intrigued by the subject line: “Hi Moira Buy Heroin, cocaine and other shit from timothystuff,” since, you know, I buy all of my illegal drugs online, I opened the email to read the following: “Welcome to the site timothystuff […]
Bob Whitcomb drops Ed Bernays’s name in his column today. Which has inspired me to post this: [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUouIxuzjVQ] It’s from an Adam Curtis film called The Century of the Self, all available online. Bernays basically invented the public relations industry, using the ideas of his uncle, Sigmund Freud. Among other things, he’s largely responsible for:
If you inherit a shit-ton of money and claim to be a progressive, you should probably use it for good. And one should never send people off to the can with quite so much glee as Spitzer has often exhibited. And, for Chrissakes, shouldn’t a former AG understand how wiretaps work? Once again, intuition reins
Okay, seriously? This is way messed up. The AP reported today that a survey of the drinking water in 24 major U.S. metropolitan areas revealed traces of drugs like mood stabilizers and sex hormones: AP Probe Finds Drugs in Drinking Water. Sure, the traces were minute, and all of the utility companies insist that the
Hey friends! Don’t have any plans for next Friday, March 14? Why not join the Dirt Palace at P.S.1 for our performance that we’ve been slaving over for the past 2 days? I mean 2 months? I mean… well.. The performance is running during the same time as their “WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution”
Which one is Ben Stein? Here he is in the Projo, going off on Darwinism. And here he is on O’Reilly: [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWMGD1Dg6L8] Stein gets this right (while taking on the tone of the godless evolutionist Christopher Hitchens): Maybe we would have a new theory: We are just pitiful humans. Life is unimaginably complex. We are

… when the enemy was fluoridation. Check out Bob Kerr’s column in today’s ProJo for his take on National Guard adjutant general, and acting head of RIEMA, Maj. Gen. Robert T. Bray. Comparing him to Gen. Jack D. Ripper of the 1964 movie Dr. Strangelove, Kerr perfectly lays out this local example of all that
Brown University will be testing a new emergency siren today some time between noon and 1:00 PM today. It is unknown at this time whether it will be too loud, too long, or both. It will consist of a tone, followed by a voice message (probably Morgan Freeman again). Might I suggest that if Brown
Ah the communal refrigerator… whether in the faculty lounge or the two-bedroom, five-student Brooks Street apartment… there will be blood. And there will be notes. A website dedicated to the fine art of writing Passive/Aggressive Notes features, but is not limited to, fridge-rage. (BTW, who here at The Dose drinks the coffee YooHoo? Just asking.)
Arson: Newport’s serial arsonist is still on the lam. But Middletown’s police squad knows what it’s doing, catching these ballsy but inane teens in no time. Worms: Especially if you’re a low-income city-dweller. Tigers: Not funny at all. I don’t think there’s anything that can kill you at Roger Williams Park Zoo. But letting the
Friday night at AS220, in celebration of the Winter Solstice (fucking Wiccans…) the United Space Rock Coalition will play for twelve fucking hours, bravely pushing the limits of what is considered listenable to even the most incredibly stoned fans of Can and Popol Vuh. The band will feature a rotating cast of players from a
Another instance of no-show jobbing rears its ugly head yet again in Rhode Island, this time the accusations are against Providence Fire Union president Paul Doughty, who has allegedly not come to work a whole lot in the last three years. Doughty claims the allegations are retaliation from all the bad blood between the union
Dear Readers, We recieved this very urgent email in our tipbox this morning. I cannot underestimate the seriousness of Ms. Kojo’s plight. We, as a compassionate city must band together to lend help where we can, so what we need to do is open a bank account…well, I’ll just let you read the whole letter:
And David Horowitz, its founder, ends it aptly by saying something crazy and self- righteous: [youtube:http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=y3gG_s9Opmg] We’ve had many distractions this semester, and I guess I’m one of them. A recent one was an unfortunate incident of a noose being put on a professor’s door. I think that the campus is right to be concerned
in the usual Saturday slot. Then I got apprehensive, remembering that Elton John might be a perv, and not just a blow-hard, in his late middle-age. But tonight, in celebration of his exoneration, a day early: [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvu2Q4BsE2U]
Nancy Pelosi’s team must be scrambling, in the wake of the absolutely horrific piece that Dana Milbank has for the Washington Post today, Smile, Though Your Head Is Aching. Here are a couple of key excerpts, in which she goes off on all those anti-war bums who are uglifying up her neighborhood. And all those
