News From Southern Appalachia

When Instapundit featured the headline, “Knoxville girl wins regional spelling bee,” I sort of figured the Knoxville girl in question might be named Reynolds. But in fact the winner was Ameena Iqbal, a fifth-grader at Blue Grass Elementary School in West Knoxville, who edged out Nithya Kanagasegar, an eighth-grader at Homestead Elementary School in Crossville.

TMI Twitter from Kim Kardashian

She was already in trouble for outing a federal air marshal on Twitter, now there is this bit of alarming indiscretion: “I pretty much laser my whole body … I’m like a little hairless Chihuahua.” This particular cosmetic trend — I’ve dubbed it the Deforestation of the Pubic Delta — is really a byproduct of the […]

The Apocalypse of Culture: People Spend $1 Billion to See Sucky 3-D SciFi Movie

No need to wonder what morons did with their stimulus checks.  Two words: Avatar tickets. When “Avatar” opened, its solid but far from stellar results left 20th Century Fox uncertain about whether the $430 million that it and two financing partners had invested to produce and market the 3-D film would pay off.
