Kunstler susses the current media/culture dynamic with his usual cheery optimism. Obviously it's a quick and easy rant button to push, why presumably sentient beings would waste one second of their lives watching reality teevee or Erik Estrada dancing or what have you. Fish in a barrel and all. And the last two months of the year are always the silly season anyway, when it comes to what qualifies as...
[Image: Geoglyphs of nowhere]. In the desert 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles is a suburb abandoned in advance of itself—the unfinished extension of a place called California City. Visible from above now are a series of badly paved streets carved into the dust and gravel, like some peculiarly American response to the Nazca Lines (or even the labyrinth at Chartres cathedral). The uninhabited...

DOLLHOUSE What is with those Whedon’s and their ability to always leave us wanting more. Fresh of the heels of this week’s DOLLHOUSE debacle that has FOX benching the ratings anemic series for November sweeps, comes a harrowing Sierra-centric episode that recounts the terrifying circumstances in which the Aussie beauty found her way to the Rossum [...]
It’s been going around Blogsville, and since Charlie , Wandering Coyote and Meg came up with very interesting lists of things they never had, I figured I could give it a try as well. I wrote "yet" in the title, because who knows what life has in store... Here are fifty things I’ve never had: 1. A fish 2. Long, painted nails 3. A manual transmission 4. A boyfriend while in school...
Today I found a package on my porch that I was expecting with great anticipation. I was like a kid on Christmas morning ripping open a box that I knew contained Erik Estrada’s “Estrada” sunglasses. I have never been this excited about something that I can’t actually wear in a real, purposeful way. So I’m [...]
OK, granted these Estrada sunglasses aren't exactly luxe but don't tell me you won't be turning heads when you pimp them out in the next pool party. These shades are replicas of the ones worn by Mr. CHP's himself on those hilarious Burger King commercials. Unfortunately, these aren't up to safety standards, with the "ESTRADA" emblazoned on the lenses and all, so don't actually wear them when...
1) So, as per usual, no wait, what kind of nickname is Ponch, and what's with that obsession with cows? Ponch was the nickname of a character played by Erik Estrada on the late 70s / early 80s TV show “ChiPs.” It was my favorite show as a little kid. Every week it showcased car chases, horrible freeway accidents, and women in tight shirts and tiny shorts. Come to think of it, it would...
Game Time! Can you guess who this famous actor all dressed up as a deadly serious highway patrol police officer is? This actor, who has a penchant for doing his own stunts in some of his big action films, has an affinity for couch-jumping, is painfully short and has an impressively high Thetan level. [...]

GUEST STARS - When auditions for Erik Estrada’s (guest star Erik Estrada, “CHiPs”) new reality show come to Camden, Earl (Jason Lee) encourages Joy (Jaime Pressly) to go for her childhood dream of becoming famous and tryout, thus allowing him to cross an item off his list. Joy, initially reluctant, steals Randy’s (Ethan Suplee) audition and makes a fool of herself. Her crazy antics are a cause for...
