Fake News
With all the bad political, business and gossip news assaulting us on a moment-by-moment basis, it's good to know that there are folks out there making fun of it. Sure, you've got The Daily Show With John Stewart, The Colbert Report, and "Weekend Update" on Saturday Night Live, which are all great, but there are also a few gems online you can get a quick laugh from. They include Infauxtainment.com, The Onion and The Spoof. Check these sites out and get some needed relief from the world.

Good New Stuff
For quite some time I felt that I couldn't find good music anymore; radio's gone too corporate, and major labels release only pop for the masses to ensure profits. Problem is, how much more freakin' classic rock can I listen to? I've been hearing the same thing for 20 years. Thankfully, there is light at the end of the stairway to heaven, and it shines online from www.wfuv.org, a radio station broadcast from Fordham University. Although technically a college radio station, it's run by veterans of the airwaves. Musically, they're often way ahead of the curve, playing current new music mixed in with obscure, cutting edge tunes, and peppering their play lists with golden nuggets. Check it out and smile again about radio. And oh yeah, this station is commercial-free!

Yo, Mo!
At this time of year when Passover and Easter coincide, ABC continues its legacy of broadcasting The 10 Commandments. Produced back in 1956, it's got heavy-handed dialogue, grandiose soundtrack, and decent special effects, actually. For its time, it has become a classic featuring some of the all time great screen legends: Charlton Heston (Ben Hur), Yul Brenner (The King And I), Vincent Price (all those vampire movies), John Carradine (dad to David and Keith), Edward G. Robison (classic gangster), Anne Baxter (Batman villain), and Yvonne De Carlo (Lilly Munster). That's why you'll get a kick out of a trailer parodying their performances.
