Oops, I Think You’ve Got a Little Libertarian on Your Shirt
Time Magazine has an article about New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and California’s own Arnold Schwarzenegger which is certainly worth a read. What’s particularly interesting to us is the unmistakable appearance that these two guys (along with Ron Paul in the current Republican Presidential Primary field) sound much less like Republicans, and much more like logical, centrist, socially liberal, Libertarians. And at the end of the day, that sounds a heck of alot like much of America….or at least we’re hoping that’s the case.

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.

Just to Clarify, Mandela Is Not DeadWe got this from Think Progress, and thought we’d help them to clarify that Nelson Mandela is not now, nor has he yet been, in any way dead. It seems like something you wouldn’t need to mention, but when the President of the United States says otherwise, you’ve got to rally the troops. Sure, we’re [...]
Stuck in the Middle With YouOnce again, I just don’t know who to blame. Yes, we’re a very fat country, so yes, perhaps airlines should begin accommodating our girth. Then again…aw fuck it…decide for yourselves: Man Sues Airline For Being Seated Next To Obese Man. We’re eating better, exercising more, and yet, the pounds aren’t coming off. You?

Your Local Elected OfficialsLast night, while trying out a pretty delicious new Italian restaurant in Los Feliz, I got into a conversation with a friend about how his retired father recently joined, and then immediately resigned from, a position on his local traffic commission. He quit after attending a single meeting, which is all it took for him [...]
