Yeah. I hate looking at my PNG files on IE.

If it's an alias, it's definitely an inside job. Otherwise, when he was banned, wouldn't a regular username get banned too? My guess is it's Solace.

Here's something you might like from 8 years ago today: Sparklehorse - SBD/FLAC - 9/21/98

Here's something else: According to the LA Times, in a recent sympathetic press pep rally: "[President Bush] professed no alarm about bad news from Iraq, saying that recent trends (such as a spike in killings) were just a 'nanosecond' in historical terms." Also from the article:

Elvis Is Alive

Seconded.

I wouldn't do it. Not in a million years. Wilco is always touring. I've seen some kind of Jeff Tweedy incarnation (between Wilco, Tweedy solo, and Loose Fur) probably 10 times, and although they've been some of the best shows I've ever seen, I still wouldn't be able to justify spending $120 on a ticket. Why not just buy a $35 ticket to Philly or elsewhere and spend $30 on gas? At least, then, you're only up to $65 (not including ridiculous ticket fees).

According to the article, it'd be a swap. The pollution money would totally replace payroll taxes. Although I suppose SS reform is a different issue entirely.

I think we should just do nothing and suggest nothing. It's what we've always done, and it's always worked in the past.

At least in the years before (the stink blown off of you years) and after (the thanks for putting me through college years) my obnoxious, ungrateful adolescent/post-adolescent jerk phase.

Absolutely. I do think that Eminem is witty, but I find his music to be very grating and obnoxious, as well.

Yeah, there is good hip hop and very, very, bad hip hop. There is also an emerging Indie hip hop scene that seems pretty cool. This guy is good: http://www.giovannimarks.com/

You mean between Bush and disaster? Because I think that may have already been established.

Exactly. And my parents always thought: Why should we buy something/endorse something for you that only keeps you in the house to make you lazy and annoy us? Instead my mom would say: "Go outstide and get the stink blown off of you."

From a young, non-parental standpoint, I don't think that there's much we can do to limit our kids' exposure to certain things. I know from personal experience as a teen, that forbidden things were more attractive to me than parentally-condoned things. I'm not sure how I will approach this as a father, whenever that happens. I will try to teach my kids about sane, rational choice on a personal level, lead by example, etc. I know that I will have to accept a degree of isanity during the teen-young adult years, though, at least until they're old enough to realize how much they depend on me, an

Me either. Fortunately, this newspaper is really unrelated to those whakos, despite its unfortunate title. I bet, however, in 1901, refusing medical some treatment was about as sensible as taking it.

I thought the same thing when I first heard the name, but Christian Science Monitor isn't what you think. They are a highly-balanced and widely-respected news organization. They write quality news articles that you won't find elsewhere. from Wikipedia: The only reason it is called Christian Science Monitor is because the founder, in 1908. Jill Carroll, a reporter who was kidnapped by insurgents in Iraq (you must've heard about it) worked for CSM, as well.

Great disc. This is the first time I actually listened to him.

Too bad there isn't an extra commandment that says "Thou Shalt Not Use Religion As A Means To Thine Own Ends, Nor Commit Violence In The Name Of Religion."

Former Vice President Gore has called for the complete elimination of the payroll tax. It would be replaced by a tax on CO2:

Teddy - my brother found her running the streets of Baltimore. She was filthy, and her hair was matted and long. Turns out, she's the perfect, nicest dog.

I can't wait to hear True Love when I get home. I was obsessed with the live version for quite a long time, and have often hoped that a studio version would surface someday.

It was only a matter of time. Just like it is for any flagrantly-pot-smoking celebrities, or even any dumb pot-smoking kid for that matter. I ain't saying it's right, just no surprise here.
