Like Shooting One Fat, Lying, Criminal Fish In A Barrel

Conrad Black, writing from his prison cell, penned an article for the National Post. The title of said article is "Squandering what's left of The New York Times' credibility".

I don't have to parse this, do I?

For Vanessa

And the rest of the All Your Basecasts crew, Sean and Brian. You kids are doing a great job on the podcast, and on restraining your language (So I can listen with my kids in the room. How else are we going to indoctrinate new geeks?). I know this is a hardship for Vanessa. So, for you, here is one to turn up loud and scream. I hear it's good for the soul. And babies love the vibrations.

I Hate You, Because You Are a Sick Fuck

It's not about the ideology. It's not about the fact that you can't write your way out of a tissue. It's because people like the Girl On The Right mock the death of an innocent while her commenters cheer from the sidelines. Explain that to your god you hypocrites.

Hey, Andrew Lawton? Enjoying the bed? You're lying in it.

It's On theTip of My Tongue

This past weekend SNL featured a young songster by the name of Justin Bieber. Evidently this young twitter user is all the rage with the the bobby-socks set. Anywho, his recorded song starts and something about seems vaguely familiar, vaguely reminiscent of idols past.

Here's the new kid (don't watch the whole stupid thing, just get a feel for it or your ears will bleed).



Big teeth, anthemic opening, good hair...who does that remind me...oh yeah. I got it




And we all know how that turned out. One minute you're the talk of the town, singing disco in shiny pants on very special episode of CHIPS, and the next thing you know, you're making Jan Michael Vincent look cleaner than a Mormon missionary.



Best of luck Justin.

We Need More Songs About Chocolate and Girls

And Normans.



Oh yeah, here's the chocolate.



It's fun to think back to when this was crazy new music. I remember Herb playing these records for me and thinking, "What the fuck is this? This isn't Christopher Cross or Billy Joel!" So young. So dumb. So hooked on FM96, Rockin' Easy.

Ahh Spring, When One Contemplates the Question...

Who killed Bambi?




Turns out it may have been Roger Ebert and Russ Meyer.
