My Thoughts on Kim Kardashian
...up patriarchal society! Wake up "Access Hollywood"! Wake up corporate America! You are dealing with a bitchy, pushy educated beautiful but imperfect Middle Eastern woman. Fancy cars and homes are within their own reach. No sugar daddies needed. This is my proclamation to the Dardashian Camp: Be whatever you are but just be original. If I want to see the same stuck up blonde or brunette woman all I have to do is go to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM). So get in where you FIT IN (get it) and I don't mean that pricy dress from Neiman Marcus! Peace, Maceo Manhattan

How Safe Are You In Manhattan?
Manhattan.
Those who advocate that armed forces at every street corner increase the security and safety of the nation, must feel safe and secure when traveling through the city’s streets, malls and train stations. Special police units in blue uniform randomly search your bags; Army forces in desert camouflage, holding submachine guns, watch your every movement. DHS, metro police, HPD, TSA, helicopters hover above the city, can we ever feel any safer?
But how much do you trust these armed-to-the-teeth guys, or is it only a big Hollywood production? I am not talking about bad... (more)
Small plane crashes in a building in Manhattan
A small plane just crashed in a high-rise of Manhattan. The 50 story luxury residential building is located on Manhattan's Upper East Side at 72nd Street and York Avenue. Videos from the scene show at least 3 apartments completely in flames. Debris are falling off the building leading to the evacuation of the area. No casualties have been reported yet. It is unclear if the crash is an act of terrorism.
(more)Iranian-American Inner Revolution
Let me be brutally honest. I am not a big fan of the Iranian community. For starters being acknowledged by a fellow Iranian has more to do with what car you own than with being a good person. Do not get me wrong, I am very proud to be an Iranian American as well as an Iranian Jewish American. I must though note that there are a lot of stuck up Iranian Jewish kids out there (most of them Jewish) who have a lack of respect for authority and so forth. At the same time, one just needs to walk into an Lapd office to feel the "foreign like" feeling that emerges between the "citizen" and "officer".... (more)
Myspace: outer space, out of place, or in taste?
Fox interactive media made headlines a year ago when it announced its half a billion dollar purchase of Myspace. Industry analyst estimate that there investment has doubled if not tripled thanks to aggressive marketing leading to more corporate sponsorship and a base of members that exceeds 125 million. Having been a member on and off for two years now, I constantly question my motives and the motives of Fox. Is Myspace truly your myspace or is it your space? Opening the Myspace webpage is like walking thru an x-rated virgin of Times Square in earlier morning hours. There are a plethora of dating... (more)
"My Beef with Borat"
So let me get this straight. There is child of an orthodox family who went to orthodox schools who is now bashing his on roots to make millions of dollars? I love it! Call Sacha Baron Cohen a genius, call him unorthodox, call him even crazy, there is no denying that the man knows how to create a character and adapt to situations. When 'Ali G.' flopped at the box office, Sacha Baron Cohen went to his next character “Boratâ€. He perfected it over a span of eight years and was able to capitalize on it with a movie budget of only 17 million. As I dressed the role of “Borat†for Halloween,... (more)
The Superficial Male: Bionic Biceps Meet Personified Pectorals
Yes, I go to the gym at least five days a week. Uh huh, I drink protein shakes like it is an elixir from the fountain of youth. Right on, I like to lift big weights and have strong biceps, pectoral and a pronounced lower body. Does that make me superficial, sophisticated or both? As a youth growing up in Los Angeles, I must say I was behind the curve when it came to procuring a rock solid physique. I was definitely not under or overweight, but I did not make the football team either. Rather I was a 6 feet tall 160 pound peppermint stick never drank, nor smoked, or used any drugs. It was not...

The Art of
Let me start by saying that I have been affiliated with the nightlife scene for five years now. Believe or not I have managed to never due drugs and avoid drinking 99.9% percent of the time. I will save that story for another time. So lets explore the club business for a moment. What are the elements involved in making a Hollywood club successful: 1) Shareholders 2) Promoters 3) Drug Dealers 4) Police Officer/NARCO (on and off duty) 5) Models and affiliated pretty people and 6) Celebrities. Basically, a restaurant entrepreneur will seek out investors from all walks of life. These investors... (more)

Michael Mann: Climate Hero With a Hockey Stick
...like Michael Mann (the physicist and climatologist, not the Hollywood film director) are, to use a hockey analogy, dropping the gloves and fighting back against climate-change-denying think tanks like The Heartland Institute, American Enterprise Institute, Koch Family Foundations, The Manhattan Institute, The Heritage Foundation, The Cato Institute and The Mercatus Center. Mann's new book, titled "The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines," is being released on March 6 and is going to expose the moneyed special interests behind the attacks on science and ...
