As a professional contrarian, I’ve often held to the notion that once something is well-liked by too many people, it can no longer be of decent quality. Despite this tendency, I went into a showing of Box-Office Leader Bruno, last night, with high expectations. Sacha Baron Cohen, in my opinion, had the chance to transcend the usual Hollywood nonsense and become an important satirist — a figure that could actually bring insightful commentary to the increasingly vacuous American public forum of debate. My hopes were soon lost in the nether-regions of a hideously bad movie.

This week, Mets apologist and former Dykstra fanatic, Jon Stewart, recapped the gutty, gritty, former outfielder’s fall from grace. Not only is this once revered player an admitted steroid user, he is now known as a financial scam-artist after trying to pass himself off as an investment guru.

The only thing left is to try for the infamy hat trick, with a cameo appearance on To Catch a Predator.

The MEP Report is first to report on this exclusive.  Sources have discovered that Jon, of Jon and Kate plus 8, has an illegitimate son.  Most news reports have covered Jon’s affair, and others have picked up on his new girlfriend (way to waste no time at all, Jon…).  However, MEP report contacts have informed us that the affair was not just a one night stand!  “I could have handled that,” said Kate to a friend, “a simple affair would have been fine…but when I heard he had another child, making his total nine to my eight…I just couldn’t stand for that.”

MEP Report photographers have acquired this exclusive photo.

Fun little tutorial on the progress of the TARP program by NPR’s Marketplace Senior Editor, Paddy Hirsch.

It’s Arnie’s world and the rest of us are just living in it. The San Diego Union Tribune is reporting that California is on the precipice of mandating that debtor institutions accept its IOUs as payment.

While this would nominally allow California to stave off impending fiscal doom, the ramifications of doing so are fantastically interesting.
