Today is Halloween. One of the greatest days of the year. The Little Fireflies can’t wait to run home from school, don their costumes and start trick or treating. The Firefly abode is decked out in spider webs, pumpkins and ghouls. Even the Firefly mongrels are sporting themed bandanas. Yet, what do my blogging [...]

Share on Facebook …but you’re a grown up now so go ahead. 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 of [...] 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 [...] This time the message is “vote” instead of “don’t vote”. Get it? And then tell 5 friends… like this… Share on Facebook Chuck, Floyd and I have all been in the position of being students and needing to lean on outsiders for help to get projects done. A team of researchers from NYU have found our humble blog. Since some of our posts center on politics, and they noticed we have a well-educated, politically savvy readership (that’s YOU!), [...] (h/t publius804) If you’ve seen this video, then you’ll probably appreciate the above parody. Share on Facebook Picked up Johnny Cash’s America yesterday (a more complete review once I watch the DVD this weekend) and even though the liner notes tout interviews with Snoop Dogg, Sheryl Crow and other members of the Kool-Aid KKKrowd (up yours, Cube, I’m taking it back for creative purposes) like John Mellencamp, Al Gore and [...] Joe Perry — Republican. 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 [...] 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 [...] 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.) Photo by keyseeker via morgueFile Share on [...] Today Lileks has this picture on the bleat. Wow! That brought back memories. We had a little ice cream hut near our house and sometimes in summer mom or dad would drive there and my sister and I would get to split a banana split and, being a boy, I got to keep the [...] Share on Facebook
(click to enlarge) She’s got an Oscar but he’s worth $300,000,000 more AND he gets to sleep with Angelina Jolie; Pitt’s the winner! Read the whole thing… Share on Facebook It’s not a bad idea for a list, and it’s comprehensive, but for Nigel’s sake couldn’t they have stopped at 11? Share on Facebook
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 [...] 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!
