Adam Carolla Insults Argentina, Mormons, Monks, And Tango?
2008-04-01 04:53:00 Is this really necessary? I knew it would be a mistake to put Adam Carolla on ABC. The former wisecracker of MTV's Loveline and the overtly sexist The Man Show on Comedy Central, Carolla spits controversial as part of a quest to be popular. In a scene reminiscent of Kathy Griffin dissing Jesus at the live Emmy's ceremony in September, Adam used his live judges' review tonight on Dancing With The Stars to simultaneously insult the art of the tango and the religion of at least 5.6 million people (in the US alone).
China says Tibet monks won't be punished
2008-03-28 21:30:00 China will not punish a group of Tibetan monks for disrupting a government-organized foreign media tour of Lhasa and voicing support for the Dalai Lama, a senior official said in a bid to allay fears of repercussions. In other words "China will not punish a group of Tibetan monks YET". With the world looking at China because of this uprising and the upcoming Olympics, China needs to come across as a fair and just country, even though everyone knows they aren't. It's the proverbial elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about. Well I will. China is a constant abuser of human rights who's brutal tactics have seen thousands of deaths at the hands of its government. If the United States did these things, we'd be on the front page of every newspaper in the world with "See how evil the Americans are!" You want to see how gruesome the Chinese have been against the Tibetans? Take a look. WARNING! IT IS GRAPHIC AND SHOWS DEAD HUMAN BEINGS! It's on...

What Do You Do When the Monks Want to Eat You?
2008-03-26 23:10:00 From wikipedia.orgI've started to dread the credit "Written by Rod Serling" when watching The Twilight Zone. Don't get me wrong, I've sang his praises in the past and still do; he was a superb craftsman. Too often though he was just too damn matter of fact. Also he sometimes allows his prose to run away with him (a little like Ray Bradbury). Then there are those similar themes surfacing again and again (the little man with a chance of redemption, the Nazi getting his come-uppance, the nostalgic yearning for the past). I watched his later series, 'Night Gallery' recently (and more on that later), but even there the episode that got Emmy-nominated, Serling's "They're Tearing Down Tim Riley's Bar" is a very close reworking of Serling's earlier Twilight Zone episode, 'The Trouble with Templeton'. It's also conspicuously out of kilter with the refreshing darkness of the rest of the series, being hopelessly maudlin (as usual, I'm probably in the minority on this one). Serling...

"New Paintings" By Alyssa Monks.
2008-01-15 17:51:00 "New Paintings" By Alyssa Monks. A product of the New York Academy of Art's creates stunning realistic paintings. According to Monks: I'm challenging myself by using photographs that aren't so clean and perfect because it forces me to be more painterly, to look at the abstract forms more. I use the paint to create the water surface instead of drawing it in. It saves me from an almost photo realistic look because when you see them up close, they are actually loose and the paint is quite visible.A MFA graduate of the New York Academy of Art, Alyssa Monks has trained with Vincent Desiderio, John Jacobsmeyer, and Deane Keller. She received her B.A., cum laude, from Boston College in 1999. The artist's paintings have been exhibited nationally and can be found in many private collections. This is Monks' second solo show at DFN Gallery.So what is she presently working on now?
