Jenna Finds New Drinking Palace, In Baltimore!

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Newlywed first daughter “Jenna Bush Hager” of course has been dragged to Baltimore to live with her elitist husband, Henry. What kind of fun does Baltimore offer for the upper crust of society? A bar, a bar, a bar, thank god, a bar: “South Baltimore newbie Jenna Bush seems to have settled on a watering hole she likes: Regi’s American Bistro in Federal Hill. I hear she’s been in several times, including Wednesday, when she was spotted with six girlfriends. All looked very ‘Texas,’ says my spy. ‘Hair all polished up and little fancy outfits.’ A guy who answered the phone at the pub confirmed that Dubya’s daughter had been in before. Pressed for details, he would only say this much: ‘She was there. I just saw her.’” The food looks really good at Jenna’s bar! Too bad she’ll never try any of it.

RowrCOUNTDOWN TO NUPTIAL BLISS:“Could the last picture in Jenna’s unofficial wedding album be a study in normal American life? Maybe not. Her husband’s Baltimore job will be with an electric utility company that dumped 8bn pounds of polluted fly ash into the ground, contaminating drinking water for hundreds of nearby families.” [Guardian]


Meet the Baltimore Examiner’s Psychopath Editor!

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

If you live in a row house connected to the row house of chain-smoking Baltimore Examiner editor Frank Keegan and so much cigarette smoke is seeping into your house that your kids are choking on the fumes, it’s probably not a good idea to pound on Keegan’s door yelling about the problem as the paramedics treat your daughter, because Keegan will (allegedly) pull a shotgun on your entire family.

* Who hasn’t wondered what goes on inside the elusive McFadden’s? An outsider tells the grim tale: “Again, bumping and grinding on a bar is a personal choice, and I do not begrudge these women the opportunity to do whatever makes them happy. Just because it’s not for me, doesn’t mean it’s wrong or bad.” [hey pretty]

But Remember, No Coffee!

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

If you were unlucky enough to be at BWI this morning, you know the Southwest terminals were evacuated and hundreds of people missed their flights and it was the usual terror insanity. Here’s what (allegedly) happened: A passenger had a loaded handgun in his carryon, which he wisely put through the TSA X-ray machine. MORE »


Pretend Violence Aficionado to Kill Real People

Monday, August 14th, 2006

idfdeathstar2.jpgRegardless of your position on the current Middle East crisis, there’s one thing we can all agree on: video game violence is just the skill-building motivator our children need to get out there and make something of themselves. Take Daniel Taylor of Baltimore, who, despite never having been there and not speaking Hebrew, is heeding the call of his people and joining the IDF. Daniel comes well-trained, having studied marksmanship at the 4-H. Despite that seemingly marking him as a time-traveler from 1950, Daniel’s not lacking for modern know-how: MORE »
