Cupcakes and Impeachment!
Two things that make us smile real big are: a) cupcakes b) impeachment proceedings for corrupt republican jerkoffs. Who’s gonna rally around Alberto Gonzalez? We think not us.

The Stain of Politics
Just for a moment, we’ll take back those things we said about the pettiness of cable news. And for a moment, we’ll recognize this as proof that there are still some teeth in the First Ammendment.
Unfortunately, this will likely never result in the resignation Olberman rightly suggests, but if it results in him getting fired anytime soon, then we’ll take back the nice things we said about cable news and the consitution.

A perspective we should all hope to remember a little more often. Now I’m going to play some golf.
ShareHow About a Good Conspiracy Theory?
I just finished watching a full length documentary film on Google video called Zeitgeist (no, nothing to do with the Smashing Pumpkins record). It’s not the most skillfuly made documentary work you’ll find, but it’s chock full of really astounding assertions which — at the very least — can serve as a conversation fodder for your next cocktail infused intellectual gathering.
We’ll make no representations as to the validity of the claims made in Zeitgeist (except for all the stuff about Jesus), but bullshit or no, it will give you pause and keep you riveted to your computer.

An extended version of Bon Iver’s La Blogotheque Take Away Show of “For Emma, Forever Ago” with three versions of the song and some very startled tourists. I think this is one of my favorite things in the whole world. Not just that the song is so beautiful, and is so beautifully sung, but that [...]
So, This Stephen Malkmus-looking Guy Who Went to High School with My Boss Wrote a Children’s BookA man once said, “Childrens do learn.” and I believe childrens should learn to dream big dreams. Even better is to dream arty dreams like a hipster might draw. This hipster author’s name is Dallas Clayton. Although I do not know for sure that Dallas Clayton is a hipster, he looks like this: And, I [...]
Matilde UrrutiaIt isn’t simply that you are loved gloriously, or loved beautifully. But rather that a pitch perfect expression of love for you sounds and sounds, Rises into the very air. Though the love itself may fade, I do not know, The poetry you inspire ascends, ascending Becomes stars and you, who are so loved, Look [...]

fun with athiestsI’m so much more inclined to follow Richard Dawkins when he says having a word like “athiest” for folks who don’t believe in god, is like having a word for “not a heart surgeon”. That said, anything that helps all of us better understand the opposite point of view is really a great thing. So [...]
RIP Alberto GonzalezBy historical precedents, the Bush administration is probably only approaching a “slightly elevated” level of second-term scandal related resignations. That said, we couldn’t be happier with the folks who’ve been jumping ship lately, insofar as there’s no chance we’ll miss them. Also, like Rove before him, Gonzalez can still look forward to potential prosecution.
