A generally very good article. He seems really sincere, but...

"...we wanted to be on the iPod commercial because it is the greatest piece of pop art since the '60s."

Like any good religious zealot, it's best to just forget facts and science and keep repeating the same garbage over and over again. it further reinforces your ignorance, and if the person you are talking to is gullible enough, you might swing them to your side. p.s. Katie Holmes? This is a bullshit ...

Well, I was drawn here by the Snakepit, and bemoan its lockdown as much as the next guy, but it really did seem towards the end that we were reaching for subjects ... sort of like the last 10-15 minutes of every episode of SNL. Perhaps the lockdown will allow us to fill our tanks with new inspiratio...

I need a Phono Stage Recommendation

My parents just moved from my childhood home into a much smaller condo, and in the move I found a ton of LPs in my closet. So, I brought them home and now I'm thinking about getting a TT. A friend has a Music Hall MMF-5 that I like, but I'll need a phono stage since there's no phono input on my rece...

Considering the petty bullshit the right threw at Clinton all those years (and are preparing to throw at his wife now), taking a jab at Bush's delivery seems positively quaint.

At least he throws like a boy wearing the bullet-proof vest. Remember that President Bartlet had a hard time throwing straight while wearing the vest.

I'm excited that baseball is in D.C. but the politics of this makes me sick to my stomach.
