Season’s Heatings
Christmas is over, champagne hangovers have come and gone- and the weather has gone from quaint winter wonderland to nightmarish skin contracting tundra. All the more reason to stay under the covers with some headphones.
Clint Eastwood(Live ft. Snoop Dogg)-Gorillaz
Feel Right-Symmetry/Ryan Lewis
Roll Away Your Stone- Mumford & Sons
Melt My Heart to Stone(Kickdrums remix ft. Big Pooh)-Adele
In the meantime, the rock-solid empirical foundation of astrology was rocked by the revelation that in fact, they were wrong all along. OMGOD!!
Darren Aronofsky continues to demonstrate why he’s the most unnerving director in Hollywood with the pirouetting mindfuck that is Black Swan, which somehow makes even a lesbian sex scene between Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis disturbing. Not for the squeamish or the ADHD.
Jared Loughner, the man accused of murdering six and putting a bullet in the brain of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, has been picked up pro bono by public defender Judy Clarke- Clarke in the past defended the Unabomber Ted Kacynzski as well as other notable muderers. An interesting profile can be found here .
Lionel Messi was awarded the Ballon D’Or as the Best Player of the Year for the second year in a row; the diminutive winger scored 60 goals in 59 games this year, tied (Brazilian) Ronaldo’s record of 32 goals in the Primera League, had the most assists and the highest score tally of the Champion’s League. In short(no pun intended) the 23-year old didn’t do too shabbily. Josè Mourinho, winner of the Best Coach award, couldn’t (or wouldn’t) avoid polemics by stating that his Dutch protegè Wesley Sneijder should have won for inspiring Inter’s European and World Championship, in addition to dragging a rather lackluster Netherlands squad to the World Cup final. Check it.
Earlier today, Silvio Berlusconi’s tenuous grasp on Italy’s government was dealt another blow when constitutional judges ruled that the Prime Minister was not, in fact, above the law (Berlusconi had force fed a presidential immunity law through Parliament to shield himself from accusations ranging from bribery to underage prostitution. Hurray for the origin of Western Civilization!) Berlusconi only barely saved his pelt from a no-confidence vote earlier this month, and today’s ruling has set tongues wagging as to how long the media magnate can keep his political foundation from crumbling away. The Economist, Berlusconi’s dogged nemesis, has the scoop .
And surprising no one, a new study released by the group World Public Opinion reveals that Fox New makes you stupid . Really? We needed a study?
Alright, that’s that. Keep on schleppin.
