  1. Last I read he is a cab driver who drove the suspect to the scene of the shooting. Yet another shadowy influence.
  2. The perfect read for a snowy day in January. Interestingly, the Kimball farm is located in Essex, New York on Lake Champlain. A tiny town whose simple beauty brought tears to my eyes upon first encountering it after ferrying across Lake Champlain, Vermont to New York.
  3. Did a Christian conservative or any of those three people murder Christina Greene yesterday? Unless there is a proven connection between those three people and/or Christian conservatives and the motive for mass murder, ones feelings about them are not relevant to this tragedy.
  4. I don't know what led to this attack and neither do you. I do understand that such horrors arise from mental derangement combined with opportunity. Our culture is lousy with violent rhetoric for those with an appetite. My problem is this: What I have read about this killer does not make him a good poster boy for the liberal cause. To divisively politicize this mass murder before the smoke has even cleared is media pandering of the most despicable kind.
  5. Also, if you read the link I posted, preliminary investigations into the shooter's background have uncovered a young man deeply troubled, not by religion or the Democratic party, but by all institutions. Community college for example.
  6. I should have clarified my cultural metaphor.
  7. Thank you uncool2pillow. I have grown so weary of reactionary opinions. We're becoming like two tribes of lemmings, mindlessly hurling ourselves over the cliffs of the us/them mentality. Has we lost the ability to think for ourselves? http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2011/01/09/alleged_gunman_connected_to_bizarre_internet_postings/
  8. Yeah and Marilyn Manson was responsible for the Columbine massacre.
  9. With Ben Massarella, Joe Adamik and Jim Becker from Califone collaborating on this album, I don't see how it could be anything but masterful. Beam's songwriting is top notch. I was a bit underwhelmed by the broadcast the other night. Technical difficulties made it all but unwatchable. Kiss Each Other Clean might be my favorite album title so far this year.
  10. “A rusty chainsaw dropped into tropical fish tank.” “Frank Zappa’s Mother of Invention fronted by Gram Parsons,” I thought these descriptions were apropos. American Songwriter says this.
  11. Fashionably late to the party, but sweet creamy Jesus.
  12. I have seen Andrew Bird many more times than I have seen Tweedy solo. These artists are far too complex. I have found myself just wishing every show by every artist would be exactly the same. Like Groundhog Day - The Musical. Is that too much to ask?
  13. My son just hooked me up with the whole HDMI cable situation, so I can watch whatever is on my laptop on my telly. We started off with my first ever viewing of Donnie Darko. Now I finally get all the jokes from my first forays into the RTT so many years ago. This is great. Thanks for the linkage.
  14. Why should the feds have any part of a collective?
  15. Where do national parks, public libraries and public schools fall in?
  16. You have just described the premise of Atlas Shrugged.
