  1. I would not go that far, but I was not blown away. Fleetwood Mac still owns the "Best Use of the USC Marching Band in Rock" title.
  2. What's the alternative? Pull a Hoover and start telling people prosperity is just around the corner?
  3. You guys didn't get the memo about Keynesian economics being right either, it appears. Look, we tried it eight years the GOP way and now we're up fucked river. Time for a new approach, I say.
  4. More like standard operating procedure, or sauce for the gander. Why should Obama be nice to the GOP, especially after the ones in the House were dicks to his stimulus package?
  5. A-Rod must have a lot of enemies in high places, if four separate people outed him like that.
  6. Not to brag, but I know a guy who was in that movie.
  7. Madden also writes for a tabloid, where irrationality is Job One.
  8. I would argue that it's unfair to Mr. Rod that his name is the only one released. (Dude on the radio alleges Mitchell's office did it as a pro-Red Sox conspiracy to punish the Yankees for signing Teixeira.)
  9. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the Watergate stories were done with fewer sources than that. Personally, I think the entire document should be revealed now. Let's just get it all out, so we can have a nice big long cry and write off the entire era from 1988 to about 2004 or so. Eternal shame and taint is not enough of a reason?
  10. This year's nominee for the "Death in Venice" award!
  11. It used to be Alphabet City, but I hear it's relocated to Williamsburg.
  12. SBS is pretty good, but I would put it behind YHF and maybe Summerteeth. They really should have stuck "The Thanks I Get" and "Let's Not Get Carried Away" on it, though - would have nicely balanced out the softer stuff.
  13. Parenthetically, I wish the Broncos would go back to those unis.
  14. Alex better rip shit up this season, especially in October, else it is going to be a long year for him. Like Phelps, he should just admit it - c'mon, FOUR independent sources? - show contrition and rip shit up.
  15. Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov. Nabokov is to this English major the master of masters of the English language. This is like the novelistic equivalent of Dvorak's New World Symphony - perfection abideth in its lyricism. Nabokov and Joseph Conrad both blow me away, how good they are with English even though it is not their native language. Breakfast of Champions and/or Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut. Pretty much everything I learned about being decent and kind to others I got from Vonnegut. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Hunter S. Thompson - Boy, did this book have a huge impact on my worldvi
  16. I always tell my apprentices that key to improving their writing is reading good writing.
  17. I would rather media outlets pay to support those kids than us taxpayers. Publicist might be working on spec. Obviously, I don't endorse this kind of thing, but since I am rabidly pro-choice, I will hold my tongue.
