At Take Back the Times, retired L.A. Times reporter Robert Reich appears to have gone off the deep end. He believes that Steven Spielberg deserves censure for making the film “Munich”:
The producer Steven Spielberg has delivered a contemptable product in his movie Munich and it should be boycotted by all those who support the U.S. and Israel in their War On Terror.
In his turn-the-cheek liberalism, which is such a frequent result of Hollywood and its lack of moral values, opposition to terrorism and appropriate revenge for terrorist acts, is consistently denigrated.
And at the Overnighter, Joe Mailander heads out to 7-11 for some holiday Modelo and makes a shocking discovery:
Then it really started to go downhill when I learned the boys who sell me Modelo at 7-11 didn?t get an Xmas bonus this year.

We haven’t caught up with Josephine Gillis in a spell. She has been to see King Kong and reports that she will not be seeing Dan for the holidays after all:
We?ve discovered we like living separate lives and living alone. There?s something to be said about that. Your time is your own and you have a lot more freedom. And sleep! You actually get some. When you are young sharing a bed has a lot to do with sex and chances are you will sleep through your partners snoring or teeth grinding, and maybe even think it?s cute. But as you get older and your tolerance starts to wear thin, you gaze upon your loved one while he/she snores away and your thoughts tend to be more on the line of putting a pillow over their face to shut them up.
Methinks Jo could benefit from anger management therapy.
As Moxie predicted, Porn As Eco-Activism ranked high in the December stats with 1,638 hits, placing it in second place behind the number one story of the month, our ribbing of Gawker Media’s Gridskipper Urban Blogs Awards with 2,304 hits.
Rounding out the top five are Tookie Williams with 1,566 hits, our fun with the Blogging L.A. crew for 1,214 hits, and the sad resurrection of the Jessica Rowe story with 547 hits.
Incidentally, the latest Trace adventure, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, was a palpable hit with 401 reads in four days.
Poor 7-11 clerks. I’d'a been pissed if my bosses every ditched my bonus. `Course, these days, I make my own bonuses, best case…
Sounds like the holidays are knocking the French right out of Joe Mailander. I hope to hear he is mellowing with his Modelo sometime soon.
Anger management? Come on – don’t tell me you have never thought of putting a pillow over someone’s head in a sleep deprived moment? If you haven’t, then Trace has.
Trace wouldn’t harm a soul. He’s all bark and bluster.
[...] This guy and this guy have finally goaded me into it – Modelo it is. Not being one to drink beer from a bottle unless I’m in a bar, I bought two twelve packs of cans. That should last me through midnight or so. Mexican blogging fuel, you betcha. [...]
