highlights from:
Robot Linky

Michael Moore will release this year's election film, Slacker Uprising, online for free. Film is about, er, Michael Moore. Like he's not even pretending it's about something else this time. (0) 9/5/08

Ann and Nancy Wilson have asked Republicans to stop using Heart song Barracuda. No more using Heart to glorify the former Sarah Barracuda (1) 9/5/08

Good review of Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist, playing at Toronto. The movie "isn’t quite the assault to the teen romance genre that Juno was," so that's good. (0) 9/5/08

Times interviews Bronx community organizers, who are royally pissed about Republicans using them as a punchline. "Listen, in the early 80s the whole freaking place was burning down. And the politicians just wrote the place off." (0) 9/4/08

David Carr: Another Rage concert, another 100 arrests. Great photo of protesting Rage fans outside the Target Center in Minneapolis. [map] (0) 9/4/08

Awesome, real, Life magazine cover of John McCain and Tina Fey. From 2004. [via Waxy] (0) 9/4/08

Slate: Sarah Palin is mainstream Ann Coulter. Republicans again are using a woman to dish out the nasty sarcasm. (0) 9/4/08

Guillermo del Toro is going adaptation crazy. After The Hobbit movies, he'll do movie versions of Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Slaughterhouse Five. (0) 9/4/08

AP fact-checks Palin's, Huckabee's, and Romney's speeches. All the stuff you thought was made-up probably was. (0) 9/4/08

JFK baggage handlers lifted a lot of jewelry from a dealer named David Diamond. I guess with a name like that, you either become a jewelry dealer or join Van Halen. (0) 9/4/08

Are there still swear words that can offend people? Steve Coogan hopes so. Going to do "The Cunt Song" on his next comedy tour. (0) 9/4/08

Kirsten Dunst had author of How To Lose Friends and Alienate People kicked off the set after he offered advice on her performance. Sure, he's seems like a tool, but I still can't wait to see this movie. (0) 9/4/08

If there's anyone who can unseat Charlie Rangel, it's a former firefighter who is also a former model. The handsome Craig Schley is running as an Independent. Rangel has been in since 1970. (0) 9/3/08

Spout casts the Sarah Palin biopic: Sandra Bullock as Sarah, Miley Cyrus as Bristol. And Frankie Muniz as Levi Johnston. Awesome. (0) 9/3/08

David Letterman responds to planned replacement of Jay Leno with Conan with incredulity and sort of grief. Also seems very down on himself in comparison to Leno. I've heard he's painfully shy, but sounds like he needs counseling. (0) 9/3/08

Sarah Palin is the gift that keeps on giving: while mayor she tried to ban books from Wasilla library, then fired the librarian. There's more! She campaigned against her own mother-in-law, and didn't let city workers talk to the press without permission. (0) 9/3/08

Now Christian conservative groups are saying McCain is even more conservative than Bush. Way to stand up to special interests there, Maverick. (0) 9/3/08

Times on reporters from NYC's "ethnic press" at the DNC. There are 300 papers (!) that cater to specific communities. There are 12 written in Bengali. The future of newspapers definitely does not involve the English language. (0) 9/2/08

McCain has decided he doesn't like the press anymore. No more chatting on the bus, no recent press conferences. Also, Palin has yet to take questions from reporters. (0) 9/2/08

Slate covers an RNC protest: well-meaning activists half-heartedly blocking intersections and shouting through bullhorns. "A protester raises two middle fingers skyward: 'Fuck you, white America!' Two hecklers seem baffled. "You're white," says one. (0) 9/2/08
