Spencer Pratt is one of the most un-self-aware people I have ever watched on television. He has no clue we’re on to his fake life as he unabashedly spins more sticky webs of untruths. Spencer — who routinely wraps himself in the swaddling of his Savior, Jesus Christ — is completely beguiled by the unwitting notion that he’s the smartest and the strongest while we all know he is only hollow of mind and fallow of spirit.
I am always struck by the inanity of other websites and blogs that allow open commenting on their articles because that sort of anonymity invites chaos, creates confusion and encourages deception and ruins the reading experience. It is the publisher’s duty to only accept comments from verified individuals. Without some sort of verification process in place — that at least links a verified email address to the person commenting — you have no idea who is attacking you or for what reason.
There’s nothing worse than listening to a performance filled with dialogue that does not ring true and does not feel and sound authentic. The worse dialogue offenders in the history of drama are writers on television process shows like “CSI” and “House” and “Criminal Minds” where lots of technical dialogue is supposed to promote authenticity and professionalism to a scene when all that sort of preciousness really provides is ear boredom.

When I was working on the Broadway production of — “The Will Rogers Follies” — I was contacted by a friend of mine who was teaching at a major East Coast university.

We are fascinated by the ongoing rise of Fibromyalgia as the latest “must have” designer disease diagnosis so all those ghostly aches and pains and emotional ills and valleys can finally be validated by the medical community by writing a prescription; but the most disturbing trend is in the purposeful use of ADHD as a valid excuse for unrestricted bad behavior.
It was hard to believe Yo Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman were actually playing live for the Obama Inauguration outside in the bitter cold, and now, today, the New York Times reveals — like the Obama invitations before it — the entire performance was faked!
Sarah Palin and her Down Syndrome baby just won’t go away. Did she really give birth to Trig or not is still deservedly getting lots of play on the internets. Here’s the latest photograph of her “pregnant” with Trig at 32-33 months.
I have always claimed fibromyalgia is a fake disease of victimization invented by doctors to pad their bottom line by prescribing drugs to give hypochondriac patients psychological cover for a broken mind — that tries to adversely effect the body — but fails.
This week, the further proof of my argument was provided in a study indicating fifty percent of American doctors routinely prescribe placebos for their patients and similar results were reported for doctors in Denmark, Israel, Britain, Sweden and New Zealand.

We all know technology can kill us — but we must learn to leave behind our current, menacing, totems if we ever hope to stretch into the future of us to create a cleaner and quieter world. There is an idiotic move afoot to make electric cars as noisy as their prehistoric gas-guzzling ancestors.
I always find it wildly malfeasant and mindlessly entertaining when the mainstream press gets involved in “outing” a book that promises non-fiction — but turns out to be invented or reality-inspired fiction.
Oprah bagged James Frey on her television show after it was revealed his book was not all “true” — and now the author of a gangland story is being “outed” for fakery on the page.
