Its’ all fine and dandy to bitch and moan about the terrible loss of life in Ukraine and whatnot, but like, where was all this global indignation when the USA invaded Iraq and laid their entire country to waste? And god forbid we mention Afghanistan. Iraq and Afghanistan are literally on the other side of […]
In the USA we have something called the MONROE DOCTRINE, which of course forbids any foreign power from placing military forces ANYWHERE in the Western Hemisphere. Remember how freaked out everyone was during the Cuban missile crisis? From that point on, no other nation has been allowed to put weapons in our ‘backyard.’ Imagine if […]

The IMAX presentation of The Beatles’ Rooftop concert was fun! The first half hour was a live link up with GET BACK director Peter Jackson, from his home in New Zealand. I dunno what time it was there, but he was totally disheveled…it looked like he’d just got out of bed. He did say he […]
