- No Recommendations yet - go add some!
- Say, didn't Bono and the TV network get fined a million dollars when he dropped the F-bomb on the Grammies a few years ago? On the Oscars it was treated as just wrinkled-nose pert-bosomed cute. I don't know if this is a step forward or back, but there's just something about it that ticks me off. I think John's a fellow curmudgeon that would understand what I mean.
- Without a doubt, I would be The Shadow. All heroes fall into three motivations: Order, Justice, or Redemption. And the Shadow is all about redemption.
We could use more of that, really.
- I can only refer to a posting of mine from a month ago referring to the tea party movement as "intelligent design" for the fascist set.
- Celeste! You go girl! Way to play Cajun Smackdown!
- Can we go back to using "Black"?
The phrase "African American" is unwieldy and reinforces an intangible sense that there are Real Americans and then there are the interlopers who are somehow less American. I suppose we could begin calling Caucasians "European Americans", but exactly how far back should we go? Should we call everyone "Tigris and Euphrates Americans"?
We may never completely overcome the issue of race, but nurturing a sense of inclusivity is certainly the wisest patriotic approach.
- I was kind of surprised to see Abe Vigoda playing guitar for The Who. He was pretty good actually.
- How much Brian do we have?
We have Miles O'Brian!
- Once again, we can only turn to the wisdom of George Clinton:
"Get off yo ass and jam!"
- The moment came early on, when the President first mentioned the middle-class tax relief, and he pointed out the sitting Republicans with a Jimmy Stewart off-hand ad lib. He suddenly became a charming voice of reason and they became a petulant bunch of Lionel Barrymores. To a group that counts on the uninformed as such a large part of its base, anyone who can so adroitly control the perspective suddenly became a very dangerous man. I expect nine more months of absolute gridlock because they know they can't afford to give him any victories at all.
- Start thinking about everyone else, nitwit!
I mean, we've become so narcissistic that we have to make it a federal crime to make people realize it's a bad idea to text while DRIVING A TRUCK!
