A Retrospective of Woodstock Retrospectives

John Cook · 08/12/09 04:00PM

This weekend marks the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, so it's time once again to remember how great things were, how different things are, and how they'll never be that good again.

Pigs, Pinkos Fail to Unite For Love

The 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago was a hellish haze of violent street battles between self-righteous Commie bastards and self-righteous violent pigs. Forty-one years later, both groups are still self-righteous!

Eric Schaeffer Still Working His Worst-Douche-in-the-World Shtick

Gabriel Snyder · 04/03/09 05:47PM

To be honest, it's Friday and I'm not sure I can do justice to the whole saga. (If you want to catch up, reading through his tag page will be educational.) So suffice it to say that he sought out to capitalize on his reputation as a misogynist and lothario, this site pretty much cemented it, which was hilarious to television executives (because Hollywood is run mostly by guys who want to be misogynist lotharios) and eventually he got a TV show on Showtime (which I keep meaning to subscribe to) called, you guessed it, I Can't Believe I'm Still Single.

Maer Roshan, the Early Days

Richard Lawson · 03/17/09 01:59PM

Here's a photo, found on Facebook, of Radar founder Maer Roshan in... middle school? Ninth grade maybe? He looks to be about 14 or so. Anyway, just a funny trip back in time.

Laurel Touby: The College Years

Richard Lawson · 03/04/09 02:25PM

As we learned that her assistant was laid off today, our attentions were drawn to be-boa-ed Mediabistro founder Laurel Touby. Coincidentally, a tipster directed us to some nostalgic photos from her young, frivolous college years.

Babs Smooches Bush!

Pareene · 12/08/08 10:28AM

Neither the White House nor Barbra Streisand were much inclined to release a proper photo of the beloved entertainer kissing beloved soon-to-be-former president Bush at the Kennedy Center Honors yesterday, so America will have to make due with these scattered pictures of the smiles they left behind. [Update: You can no cllick to watch the video!] The singer's name itself has long been shorthand for everything wrong and out-of-touch about Hollywood Liberals, while Bush is, as we all know, like Hitler but worse. How much worse? Oh, it's all too painful to remember. Good thing we can just look up some of her best anti-Bush statements on the Google and present them to you, below.

Who Is Dumber, Hornier Than a 5th Grader?

Richard Lawson · 04/23/08 08:27AM

Remember when you were younger (like nineteen or twenty) and, out of sheer last minute desperation, you would give your parents, as gifts, a set of little cards that said things like "Good for one dog walk" or "Will play chess with you once, dad"? Well, it seems some TV actor is as broke and unimaginative as a 10 year old on Christmas Eve: "Apparently during the WGA strike this B/C list actor on a very hit show for women must have read too many self help books. He decided that what the cast and crew needed each day was recognition and encouragement. So, to reward good deeds and good behavior, our actor started handing out $5 Starbucks gift cards to each guy on the set who does something good, and to the women he hands out certificates for a 20 minute massage. Oh, not from a professional masseuse. Oh no. They are all from our actor. And the certificates? Hand drawn." [Crazy Days and Nights] So sad. Two more blind items after the jump.
