Trying out a new shorter format with a pair of rants. First up, that awful smell in New York City today. Next, the Dems take over the House of Representatives and it will (unfortunately) be business as usual.

Must end the year (and maybe the podcast altogether) with a rant. It’s been an awfully crappy end of the year. I had a flood in my apartment and am getting the shaft from my condo association. Cingular wireless won’t let me buy a new phone (the Samsung Blackjack) unless I fork over $25 more a month for a new data plan.

Of course some celebrity rants. Should we really feel sorry for Miss USA (picture at left) Tara Conner? This dunce couldn’t last 30 days in New York without filling her nose up with coke. Some role model. Thanks Donald!

Where have you gone Michael Richards? Not a question that too many people will have to ask given recent events.

It is the most miserable time of the year. As Christmas nears, people get petty. Going deeper into debt. Fighting over stupid Elmo dolls and video game systems. Getting depressed over relationships. Sadly, we have to touch on the dark side of the Christmas season.

And speaking of Christmas. When did it become a crime to say, “Merry Christmas” or to have a “Christmas Party”. Sometime between 1980 and 1990 I think.

Plenty of celebrity breakup news. Plus Madonna buys a kid.

Find out how this woman just might be able to save the world from the likes of Paris Hilton, Kim Jong Il and George Clooney.

Plus, rants on the media coverage of the Amish school shooting. More business travel miseries.

A bit on the Korean nuclear test and how the U.N. will be ultimately useless in assisting with the disarming of this or any other madman on the face of this earth.

Lovely ambience provided by Urbansnake.

Does this man look like a criminal? Poor Mel Gibson, another misunderstood celebrity. Ditto Lindsay Lohan and Boy George. Oh to be wealthy, drunk and famous.

Celebrity breakups abound. Dave and Carmen. Kate and Chris. Shannon and Travis. And that dunce kid of Dr. Phil will be next.

How about them commercials? I’m sick and tired of sweat botox, colon cancer tests, erectile dysfunction meds and just about every other hokey snake oil that marketers can dream up.

And what of the has beens like Robert Wagner, Dan Marino and Zora pushing useless garbage like diet TV dinners and reverse mortgages. Oh great, I get to sell my home out right from under myself for $300 per month.

The recent restrictions on liquids and creams on airplanes goes way to far. Let’s go after the people committing terrorist acts and leave my jello pudding alone!

Finally, I weigh in on the Israel - Iran…er…Hizbollah conflict. Could Mike Wallace please retire…NOW?

Greetings from Asbury Park. The place is a dump. A variety of circumstances have lead me to ask the following question.

Is the American dream a lie? Is it a myth? We see failure all around us.

Towns like Asbury Park, NJ have gone from once thriving resort villages to desolate, post-apocalyptic nightmares that even Chuck Heston would avoid.

And stars are falling all over the place. Like Star Jones and Christie Brinkley. Maybe there’s only darkness at the top if you get there.

And maybe Michael Moore is right about American being a crappy place to live. Or does he just hate America?

Tune in to find out.

In my second life Angelina Jolie would adopt me I’m sure.

Can you handle sixty minutes of ranting action? Somehow I think CBS doesn’t feel this is a threat to the real thing. They’re full of it anyway. That show is only about 45 minutes when you factor in the commercials.
