This–”Beware of Bush” is great. After watching it, I think that all anti-Bush ads should be sung in Spanish, with a Latin beat.

Wife Kate found this collection of notes in her desk this morning–it’s the background of the character she plays in “Danse Macabre,” an improvised 1930s-style monster movie currently playing at Second City’s Skybox. “AGATHA BRACHNYA Extraction: Russo-Ukrainian border (little-known Srebnian people) History: Came to work with producer Conrad Brunst as young immigrant maid. Now in [...]

Trotter fan extraordinaire Sophie sent this to me recently, and I thought I’d pass it along. It is perhaps the most creative incitement to spamming I’ve received. “Dear Friend, A month ago, to this very day, I had a dream. A wonderful dream, full of revelations. Unfortunately, as is often the case with such dreams, [...]

Northampton, MA: The Happiest Place on Earth?

As someone who spent many, many happy 36-hour periods in Northampton, Massachusetts during my college years (I had friends at Smith College, and fled from my New Haven pressure-cooker as often as possible), I enjoyed this article in the NY Times on what to do/see/eat in Northampton. Maybe Kate and I should go back there [...]

Jon Schwarz’ blog, Tinyrevolution.com, reports a mysterious upsurge in popularity in Northern Iraq for former Kansas Sen. Ed Pugh. Can anyone weld together all the bloody remnants of that country, wracked by war and centuries of ethnic and religious strife? ED PUGH CAN! The “Draft Ed Pugh” movement starts HERE.

Mike Gerber, true American patriot

As some of you know, I grew up in St. Louis and am a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team–the team which just lost, in convincing, nay humiliating, fashion to the Boston Red Sox in the World Series. Something that is noticably absent in all the coverage of the Red Sox’ victory is [...]

Cleese and Hunter Thompson on Bush

My dad–who is, by the way, the Republican Party’s worst nightmare, a solid Democrat in a high tax bracket–sent me an email this morning. In it was the following, John Cleese on the Bush Administration: “How many Bush administration officials does it take to change a light bulb? None. There’s nothing wrong with that light bulb. [...]

Yesterday, the New York Times Book Review ran an appreciation of playwright George S. Kaufman by Woody Allen. The occasion was the Library of America’s new collection of Kaufman. I love Woody, like Kaufman, and adore anything put out by the Library of America–I smell an Xmas present! For the cheery cherry on top, the [...]

Last night, my favorite baseball team, the St. Louis Cardinals, just won the National League pennant. Now, on to the World Series!

Hybrids + Wind Power = Independence?

That’s what this article says, and it’s pretty persuasive. There’s no massive national infrastructure to build, just an acceleration of trends already afoot: the popularity of hybrid vehicles, and the growing efficiencies of wind farms. If the Red Sox can beat the Yanks four straight, anyone can do anything, don’t you think? Now, if my [...]
