How was I douchy? Is my contention about Wilco and the Black Eyed Peas? Calm down.

It's weird that people keep posting pictures of the Dead and Pink Floyd in other bands in plain, unfashionable clothing thinking that their making some kind of point. If Wilco started dressing like the Black Eyed Peas, a lot of y'all would be pissed. Appearance matters. Period.

OK. Are you hiring?

Are you hiring?

He no longer liked working with the guy, Wilco is, was, and will be Jeff Tweedy's band. Bennett made some huge contributions to the band, but Tweedy wanted to move on. How is it "corporate"? If anything, a Bennettless Wilco was harder to market.

Great first post!

My votes have been in your tent about 60-40 for the past decade, FWIW. Edit: 40-60

Yes, because the Republicans were REALLY hoping that the socialist Muslim born in Kenya would win a 2nd term.

It would never happen, but I would love a Constitutional amendment banning gerrymandering. The wording itself would be difficult and as hard as it is to amend the Constitution, I don't see it happening again in my lifetime.

Just being snarky. It's kind of slow right now. Congress is on recess. Zimmerman's not guilty. There is lots of shit wrong, but no immediate crises. The deficit's apparently down, the economy's apparently up. I've always followed politics for both the policy and the sport of it.

Because it's the political thread?

I hope you're right. I'm still a registered Republican. But over the last 20 years, I've moved to the left on a lot of issues (mostly doing with issues of personal freedom) and the party has veered incredibly far to the right. I don't agree with Christie on everything, but he reminds me of why I used to be kind of proud to be a Republican.

Unfortunately, I don't see Christie getting the nomination. First, there's the weight issue. I may be wrong, but I don't think America wants a fat president. Second, though he speaks loudly and plainly, he's a moderate and he'll compromise. Also, he and made friends with Obama during Sandy. The lunatic fringe (which isn't even the fringe anymore) of my party won't tolerate that. It's too bad. I think Clinton and Christie would have a loud, but ultimately honest and respectful, campaign.

I will watch this show someday. Have missed out so far. For those who are fans, you might be interested in this link: http://www.earwolf.com/episode/vince-gilligan/ Vince Gilligan was the latest guest on the Jeff Garlin podcast. I became a big fan after Tweedy's appearance.

I love the movie. Started listening to the commentary, which I rarely do, but thought it would be interesting. He came off as such an arrogant "If you don't like my movie, you don't really like the Replacements" prick that I turned it off after

Just in case you thought America had a monopoly on stupid politicians. Aussie politician mistakes Islam for country http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/11/world/australia-politician-blunders/index.html

A colleague had a student use 6969 Morningwood Drive as a fictional address on an assignment once. She saved the assignment.

What if I'm not burned out on talking to people who are not burned out on Wilco?

This is true. Kind of like Quiz Show. Take a historical event and twist it a bit to turn it into a beautiful morality play.

If everything you know about Salieri you learned from Adadeus, then you have more misinformation than information. Having said that, I fucking love Amadeus.

Are you a scoundrel?

I like the gun discussion, but am glad it's out of the political thread.

Because he's a scoundrel.

Fair enough. BTW, I've got an NRA sticker on one of my vehicles because it was given to us used by my in-laws. My father-in-law is a big enough supporter of theirs that out of respect to him and the gift he gave us, the sticker remains.

I have only known Snodgrass as a surname. What other meaning has it had?
