Caique Jake first hit the YouTube scene in 2007 and has since racked up about 60,000 hits and 115 comments! Not bad for this little UK chap! He’s certainly better than other UK dance acts we’ve seen recently—Cheryl Cole. Can’t wait to see your moves for 2010!

Jan “La Migranator” Brewer
Jan Brew-ja
Well Arizona Governor Jan Brewer finally got tired of screwing-over her own constituents so she has moved on to screwing-over the people that can’t vote her dumb-ass out of office. She has sparked national uproar by signing a bill, which makes it a crime to be an illegal citizen in the state. The bill also sets aside a 30-Pack of Bud-light for the police officer that spots and detains the most Hispanics–extra points for the illegal ones!
No one elected you JAN BREWER! Even if you were elected you don’t have the right to turn La Migra into the KGB.
On a positive note, this may actually force her to speak to her gardener, house keeper, and 11% of AZ’s workforce, if only for their papers.

The Limits of Control: A Test of Patience
Two hours into it—that’s the Limit of my Control before I had to escape Jim Jarmusch’s three-hour homage to his own brain diarrhea in script form.
The plot, or lack there of, consisted of following a mysterious, strong, and solitary stranger hired to go on a glorified scavenger hunt through the shady streets of Spain. He spends two hours of your life collecting messages in matchboxes from a series of cartoon-like characters involved in an avant-garde criminal operation.
Though the cinematography, by Christopher Doyle, was outstanding, the director managed to spoil the stunning scenes of Spain with absolutely no storyline and characters whose only depth came from their costume designers. You would think that with an all-star cast like Bill Murray, Gale Garcia Bernal, and Oscar winning Tilda Swinton, that the director would be more original than introduce them all with, “you don’t speak Spanish, do you?” The monotony of his the repetition was only rivaled by that of the many “art film” clichés.
Perhaps most frustratingly, Jarmusch insisted that everyone with a speaking role provide some thought-provoking morsel of wisdom. However, the philosophical tid-bits made little to no sense and the artsy buzzwords only reminded the viewer that they are not as smart or deep as Jim Jarmusch.
The only shocking twist in the end, is me walking out to sneak into Anvil, a truly worth while work of art.
