McCain Watch – Geneva Shmeneva
So you think that McCain is against the use of torture? After all, he was tortured so he must be against it. He says he’s against it, so he must be against it (because politicians never ever lie). Well, not quite: In September, 2006, McCain made a melodramatic display — with great media fanfare — …
Rush Limbaugh in Love with Fascist Political Tactics
How do you think Mr. Limbaugh would respond if a bunch of Democrats started riots at the Republican National Convention in order to sow fear and chaos in the minds of the American public? Don’t you think he would find that kind of behavior to be un-American at best? In fact, I would bet money …
Life on Mars Still Kicks Ass
Listening to Radio Paradise after uploading the new episode of Letters to Lost Friends, and David Bowie’s “Life on Mars” is playing. Damn but this is a good song:
Updates & Errata
The chain, sadly, does not remain unbroken. But I’m averaging exercise five times a week. Sometimes the gym, sometimes getting off at Dekalb Ave & walking, briskly, home, sometimes doing aerobics at home, and sometimes going for a walk up to Prospect Park. While I do not have an unbroken chain of Xs on my …
That Old Beast Nicotine, Revisited

OS X Keyboard Trick of the Day
Ok, so this is probably not new to most of you, but I just found out that “Cmd + ~” will switch between windows of an application. Now, I’ve been using “Cmd + Tab” forever, both on Window’s boxes and on the Mac. In fact, I use Proteron’s “LiteSwitch X” because it beefs up the …
A New Meaning to “Hair of the Dog”
But one man’s problem is a nation’s opportunity. Has any scientist researched the practicality of replacing coal-fired power plants with new versions fueled by a never-ending supply of dog hair? Other promising possibilities: (1) automotive fuel additive (great opportunity for catchy brand name – Petkinol, Labrodiesel, or PetroK-9); (2) compressed pellets for use as mail …
Letters to Lost Friends
So I’ve been remiss in writing here in part because I’m starting a new project called “Letters to Lost Friends.” This is going to be my first podcast and I’m hoping to get the first, introductory episode out by Thursday and follow that with a weekly release schedule. I promise I’ll not forsake my Liminal …
Late to the Dance: Mad Hot Ballroom Review
“Mad Hot Ballroom” (Marilyn Agrelo) J & I watched Mad Hot Ballroom last night and came to the same conclusion: the kids were fun and interesting to watch, they made some fairly profound statements, and seeing how this ballroom dancing program touched some of their lives was pretty darn inspirational and lovely. But the movie …
