  1. The Favre situation is getting to be as fun to watch as the "Hmm.... Maybe I just don't get it thread".
  2. Young people are supposed to be liberal. You don't pay taxes yet!
  3. I've only seen 1 or 2 arena shows in the past 15 years. I really got put off by them when I saw Neil Young & Crazy Horse back in '91 or '92 at the Target Center in the Twin Cities. I was so far away that the sound and the sight was out of sync. When I moved closer, it didn't help much. I don't know if Wilco would even sell out an arena in Chicago just because a lot of their fans wouldn't like the arena experience.
  4. Jules' answer notwithstanding, here's some data: And, as someone who has expressed conservative views here, you will feel welcome by most, even if you're in the minority.
  5. The fact that he admits he's not following scientific protocol doesn't diminish the fact that long-term studies may reveal harm. Cellular technology has exploded over the past decade. There have been articles linking the widespread use of wireless phones to the diminishing number of bees. Maybe, hopefully, this man's fear will be proven wrong, but the only reason science hasn't spoken on the long-term effects of cell phone usage on children is because the technology is still new.
  6. All the kids at the school I teach have their cell phones out soon after the bell rings. I hope this is unwarranted fear. Pittsburgh cancer center warns of cell phone risks
  7. Once Naked for Nirvana, Now a Teen Spirit Interesting article.
  8. One of my favorite bits from David Letterman, back when he was funny. Rupert Jee annoys people
  9. And because they come from conservative think tanks they are immediately invalidated? From my point of view, universities have basically become liberal think tanks.
  10. Wilco doing "Can You Picture That?" by Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem
  11. I really liked it. Especially the scene in the park. When I really like a movie, I'll check out some bonus features. There were some important scenes that ended up on the cutting room floor. That, and a decapitation!
  12. Well... as normal as Iowa City can ever be.
  13. That'd be great if the barn were in central Iowa, otherwise they'd be increasing MY overhead costs!
  14. I enjoyed Angels & Demons, but wouldn't call it a classic. I've read 3 of his books (Digital Fortress & DaVinci are the others) and he's VERY formulaic. Spoiler alert for his next novel... The bad guy is the older, gentle, mentor/father-like figure.
  15. I've read a few Douglas Coupland, never really moved by him. But he should be on this list just for cultural impact.
  16. Pro wrestling has schtik??!? (or did you mean Eddie's singing?)
  17. The funniest thing I ever heard on This American Life. The Phone Message Act I, starts about 2 minutes in.
  18. He talks like Eddie Vedder sings! But then again, so do most professional wrestlers.
