I can go on and on about 2005, but it was really a great year for me personally.

LOS ANGELES – Who’s afraid of a couple of gay cowboys? Not moviegoers, who helped “Brokeback Mountain” post the highest per-screen average over the film-flush holiday weekend.
The Ang Lee film, which follows the 20-year forbidden romance between two roughneck ranch hands, earned $13,599 per theater, compared with $9,305 for weekend winner “King Kong” and $8,225 [...]
Okay, I’ve wanted to put this together for a LONG time, so here it is. My first ever end-of-year Fucko List.
What is a fucko list and how does one get on it?
Well, it’s quite simple, actually. The fucko list is reserved for those who piss me off, annoy me, or deserve to be [...]
Is there really a more vacuous hole than Xeni Jardin?

Nintendo Wins Handheld Gaming Market
When it comes to handheld gaming, the story is much different. Sony’s overpriced PSP continues to lag, as a steady stream of warmed-over PS2 games port over. Nintendo, using a double-barreled attack that features the fashionable Gameboy Micro and the quirky but innovative DS, will continue to win over the market. [...]

Pounding his chest and speaking in his typically incoherent way, Roger Toussaint proudly announced that the Transit Workers Union had basically accepted the contract offered by the MTA before they went on an illegal strike paralyzing the city for three days.
The details of the new agreement are as follows:
1. It will be a 37 [...]
I’ve been playing a lot with Premiere Pro lately (I’m sure that comes as a major surprise to you). Today the mission was playing around with the titler and razor tools…

Yahoo News stoking the fire on the non-story that won’t go away:
NEW YORK – Four days after the city’s transit strike ended, Mayor Michael Bloomberg was still coming under fire for his use of the word “thuggishly” to describe the actions of the leaders of a union that is mostly minority.
“Michael Bloomberg, don’t be nasty [...]
Well-known actor, Vincent Schiavelli died this afternoon at his home in Italy of lung cancer.
For me, my favorite role of his was as the eccentric ghost in the subways and Patrick Swayze’s mentor in the movie “Ghost.” His line, “Get off my train!” was a constant source of amusement for my wife and I, [...]
I shot these guys coming home one night. I love the way they defy gravity and turn the train car into a stage. Really amazing stuff..

The story about Mao’s little red book and the student who was visited for checking it out?
BS.
Check it out here.
Never let it be said I’m above printing a retraction.
Although, the fact that it was so easily believable really does say a lot about the state of the world we live in, I think.

So today is one of those rare occasions where Christmas and Chanukah come on the same day. I just wanted to take a minute to wish every single one of you who read a Merry Christmas and a Happy Chanukah.
Not a Happy “Holiday.”
It’s not Happy Holidays dammit.
Spend time with your family, the most important [...]

NY Newsday:
Asked if there should be amnesty from fines for striking workers or their union, Pataki, mentioned as a presidential candidate, said: “Certainly not from my standpoint. The penalties and the fines under the Taylor Law are automatic. They cannot be waived, they will not be waived.”
He ended his press conference on an upbeat note [...]
An undeniable discrepancy…
Not burning evenly
I don’t get it. If I’m offended by black people, I’m a racist. If I’m offended by gays, I’m a homophobe. If I think of women as less than equals, then I’m a sexist, but if I’m offended by a Judeo/Christian celebration, then I’m exercising my “First Amendment” rights?
How does that [...]
