I'd bet buses with 100 people on them could fit in those lanes created for personal automobiles.

If we're talking about public transit, and we are/were, both continents have had since the train was invented. I doubt city planners in London circa 1100 were saying, "No, no. We had better not put that there. We might have to put a public transit system there in 1902." I don't really understand how can you seriously argue against expanding public transportation in the name of your selfish desire to cruise around. Not everybody can afford that same thing. Expanding public transit doesn't force it upon you to use it. It just means we're ready when gas prices hit 8 dollars a gallon. A network

Guinness is primarily manufactured in Africa. Does that matter?

Is that where Yao Ming came from? As for this whole Budweiser thing, I'm not too concerned. Sad, to be sure, but there will still be Budweiser (which is also sad in a different way). Shit like this happens in a global economy when somebody can throw down one of their dollars and get two of ours. Plus, it's not like Bud was a great company. Buying Rolling Rock and shutting down that town the way they did. Why should I care about them all of the sudden?

What about the bison, asshat? Should we not protect the bison?

Greatest joke in history.

You couldn't pay me to own a Motorola phone again. As for the question, I'd definitely vote iPhone, though I'm in the same boat as Wendy when it comes to 3G coverage in my area.

It sounds like he was being about as ridiculously evangelical about his atheism as those rather annoying evangelical kids that like to tell the rest of us that we're going to burn in hell for not accepting Christ in our hearts.

No doubt about that. Just thinking about having to pay for a kid makes me want a vasectomy.

I thought it was great, too. Very good comment both on the album and the state of Beck's music as he/we get older.

Same. The only one I never really got into.

EPs are pretty great, too. Woman King and In the Reins.

Great, great choice. I need to dig that out.

I backed out of heading to this last minute. Enjoy the naked women, I guess. And don't miss Andrew Bird, either.

So wait, Cousin Tupelo is your real name!? And your posts are helping to get out the vote!? A miracle!

I will miss all of these by mere days. Bah.

Hmmm. Danger Mouse should have let this thing breathe a bit.

With your wife, right?

Word. That book totally blows.

Not for everybody by any means, but worth checking out.

Maybe that is why the White House wouldn't open the email.

The EPA is going green the same way my credit card company went green,apparently.

I really like that Circulatory System record, if that counts as second tier. It took about three years to click, but once it did, it was love. I also really like that Ulysses record that Robert Schneider did a few years ago. More than any Apples stuff, anyway. Edit: And how could I forget A Hawk and a Hacksaw. The best of the bunch, as far as I'm concerned.

A mixed bag, so far. Better than I expected for the most part, though.
