This week’s d-bag is the king of x-rated radio. He is undeniably one of America’s sleaziest. However, it’s not his pornographic content that has earned him a “baggy.” YSP unequivocally stands for free speech, no matter how smut-laden it may be. Howard Stern’s crime is much worse than saying “tits” or “fuck” on the air. Howard Stern has gone from lewd, to just plain reckless. We’ve all seen the Howard Stern guerilla marketing campaign:... more
Support for the Democrats’ plan to overhaul healthcare is at an all-time low. According to a Rasmussen poll that came out yesterday, only 41% of Americans support Obama Care, while 56% are opposed. This shouldn’t be a surprise to YSP readers, as we’ve showcased the flaws in their proposal since the beginning. Over the past few months, the arguments against Obama Care have been much stronger than the arguments for it. Clearly. The pro argument deficit just got much steeper, thanks... more
Like many of you, I spent my Sunday watching football. I got to see my Broncos go 2-0. I got to see the Ravens beat the Chargers, to put Denver atop the AFC West. I even got to see the thriller that was Giants vs. Cowboys. One game I did not see however was Rams at Redskins. Judging from the score, I didn’t miss much. The Redskins were barely able to grind-out a win over the Rams, winning 9-7. However dismal the actual game play was, there was plenty of drama that unfolded after the game, and... more
To anyone who watched the VMAs last night, this week’s “Baggy” winner will come as no surprise. After winning “Best Female Video” for “You Belong To Me,” Taylor Swift was ambushed by a drunk Kanye West. While thanking her fans, Swift had the microphone yanked from her hands by West. He then went on a rant about Beyoncé, alluding to the fact that she should have won by saying “Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!” Kanye was then booed... more
Don’t get me wrong… I love “Natural Born Killers” and “Wall Street.” Who doesn’t? But a few good movies don’t grant Oliver Stone immunity from winning a “Baggy”. Yesterday, Stone debuted his new film, “South of the Border” at the Venice Film Festival. The film takes a “behind the scenes” look at Venezuelan dictator… oops, President Hugo Chávez, who joined Stone in Venice. In the film, Stone tries to transform... more
My apologies YSPers. I know I haven’t posted a “D-Bag of the Week” in almost a month and I’m sorry. I’ve been too wrapped-up in the healthcare debate to be petty. This week’s winner is some d-bag that lives in my city! His name is Maurice Schwenkler. First of all dude, you look like a lesbian. Or at the very least, the poor man’s Rob Thomas. Maybe you should consider a new haircut… when you get out of jail that is. Yesterday, this guy vandalized the... more
This week’s winner, won in a landslide. There were no other candidates that even came close. I didn’t even have to think in awarding Rep. John Conyers of Michigan. Earlier this week, the democratic Congressman spoke at a National Press Club luncheon. In reference to H.R. 3200, Rep. Conyers said this: “What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?” Now, I don’t... more
I’ve been waiting to rail against this week’s winner for some time. This guy annoys me to no end, and should be regarded as having zero credibility. He is one of America’s most partisan pundits. Rush Limbaugh gets a bad rap for always siding with Republicans, but the truth is… he calls-out Republicans all the time. I have literally never seen Dr. Hill stray from his far-left ideology. It is very rare that he EVER disagrees with President Obama. In fact, he runs to his defense... more
Today, the fifth anti-abortion protester to crash the Sotomayor hearings was removed by police and arrested. He called the Supreme Court Nominee a “baby killer” then said “the GOP is done.” Apparently that was a warning to any Republicans who might vote to confirm Judge Sotomayor. It’s only been two days, and already these protesters are starting to bore me. Sure, it’s fun to see a disruption here and there. But five in two days is just excessive. It’s like... more
The last few weeks have been completely surprise-laden. It’s been a barrage one celebrity death after another. First Farrah, then Michael, then the beloved Billy Mays of “Pitchmen,” then Steve McNair. What the hell is going on?! It’s like a tidal wave of death, has engulfed the world of entertainment. Whether you’re into movies, music, TV, or sports, chances are, you miss at least one of these people. When we lose a celebrity, we lose more than a person. We lose their... more
