Bonackers
July 7, 2010 – 4:11 pm
Traditionally, Bonackers were the working class fisherman that lived for over three hundred years in Springs, an area just north of East Hampton. The name comes from Accabonac Harbor, where these baymen would fish for clams and scallops from Gardiner’s Bay.

Roller Coaster Butt Ride

This is one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in forever. I guess the chorus of this song translates to “hit him in the face with your ass.” You can go on youtube and see lots of folks trying to re-create this at home. Something to do when it’s hot out.

Drill, Baby, Drill

I got this petition in my mailbox today to stop BP from receiving a bailout from the government for the disaster they have created so I thought I’d pass it along. I find it beyond disgusting that the CEO of BP publicy said “I want my life back” with no regard for our planet, or [...]

May 11, 2010 – 2:43 am
Lena Horne was a trailblazer of many firsts- she was the first black woman to sign a major contract with a Hollywood studio, play the Copacabana and sign with a major white band in the late 1930’s.
