Kathleen Parker today on “The Final Hours”. A friend’s late-night call cast light on the undecided’s milieu. She was filling out her ballot at home and had made every choice but one. The presidential ticket. “I just can’t quite bring myself to do it. I hate Sarah Palin. Help me out here.” I laughed. I refilled my glass. [...]

No 20th century artist approached Goya or Theodore Gericault for downright creepiness. They’re all cribbing off these guys who are cribbing from Bosch 300 some odd years earlier. The above is [...] … but he shouldn’t have dragged toast into it. Halloween smudges its greasy thumbprint on your eyeglasses. Halloween is ingrained B.O. you can’t wash away. It’s rancid butter on moldy toast. It’s fly spots on your pie meringue.

(from wired original article features youtube clips of the movies!) It’s Halloween — a time of year when “scariest movie” lists haunt the internet like so many kernels of uneaten candy corn. But, you’ve seen The Exorcist, The Shining, Halloween and Rosemary’s Baby. So, Wired.com is offering up a quick list of titles you might not have [...] A linen tablecloth covers the oblong table hiding long-standing stains from crayons and play-dough. Instead of serving goldfish crackers and water, our children have place settings and eat warm food like whole-grain toast with honey butter or fluffy waffles and maple syrup. Later we have a second course of cut fruit and vegetables, raisins and [...] Share on Facebook Share on Facebook I live in a county divided. I’m not talking about politics, here, though it is divided along party lines too. No, I’m talking about a much more serious and deep division that shows no signs of healing. When to conduct trick or treating. The more urban third of the county has official trick or treating hours on the [...] ” I hear Mrs. Robertson is giving out full-size Snickers!” (from Fandango) Robert Downey Jr. will strap on his metal suit to join the superhero team effort “The Avengers” in addition to “Iron Man 2,” Marvel Studios announced Tuesday.

Photo by Paul Anderson via morgueFile Share on Facebook One of the depressing aspects of modernity and post modernity is the rise and normalization of the anti-hero. The rise would not be depressing if it were not for the simultaneous rise of the celebration of anti-heroes as “heroes”. Anti-heroes are fine so long as folks recognize the difference from heroes in pursuit [...] Johnny Cash meets with President Richard Nixon. The topic? Cash was there to advocate for prisoners’ rights. Eric, alludes to it in his post below, but I think it deserves to be expanded. It’s mistake for the right or the left to try to claim Johnny Cash. This was a complex individual. A man who recorded [...] This time the message is “vote” instead of “don’t vote”. Get it?

Yes… THAT Joe Perry. h/t: Michelle Malkin OK… and here’s Train Kept a Rollin’ from MTV Unplugged. Share on Facebook Jimmy Buffet, Democrat Yes… THAT Jimmy Buffet. It doesn’t surprise me that more musicians, especially rock musicians, are not Republicans. What does surprise me is that they would back any party at all. Isn’t rock all about revolt, revolution, anti-authority? How is either monolithic, entrenched, PAC and lobbyist infested party anti-authoritarian? Aren’t both parties the bleedin’ definition [...] This is an interesting piece from Wendy Button, former speech writer for Obama, Biden, Clinton and Edwards on why she is leaving the Democratic party and voting for John McCain. Here’s the conclusion, but the whole thing is worth a read: Governor Palin and I don’t agree on a lot of things, mostly social issues. But I have [...] Men as toast types? Hmmmm. But what about whole wheat? I see myself as a whole wheat toast kind of guy. (And if you’re someone that sees a double entendre round every corner, you might want to read the “buttered toast” entry in private.)

Joaquin Phoenix says he’s through with acting. Nothing personal, but this guy never clicked with me. He’s probably a nice enough guy, but whenever I saw him in movies he seemed like a guy playing a character, not the character. Oh well, I know nothing about acting and the folks who do think he’s got [...] I didn’t know there is an “AppleCorps Four,” and Giles Martin, son of George Martin is still in the game and that’s SIR Paul McCartney to you!
