Happy Easter!!
As we all know, Easter is the day when Jesus was resurrected by a giant, human sized rabbit who laid grade “AA” colored eggs. Now, of course, we also know that our celebration of this hallowed day can never achieve the level of detail we’d like, since the colors used to pigment the eggs back in the old days are incredibly hard to come by at Walgreens. That said, if you’re committed, you can occasionally come by some blood from an out-of-wedlock woman whose been stoned to death.
So really, if today should be about anything, it should really be about stoning people to death. But we totally don’t endorse that sort of thing in the slightest, even though the bible says you really, really should, or you’ll burn in hell for eternity or something. So…um….don’t do that.

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.

Although I do not know for sure that Dallas Clayton is a hipster, he looks like this: And, I [...]

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 [...]

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.
Hmmm….Um….That’s WeirdOkay. So Clearly I had some very concrete expectations as to how the weather was going to be this morning when I walked outside my house. In short, I expected it would be really, really hot. Like, you know, hellfire kinda hot. I guess I also expected to hear some sort of booming macho voice [...]

For the little things that nibble away at me like cucumber sandwiches at a Gatsby cocktail party. I’m tired of hoping that I’ll [...]
