53. REM — Reveal I bought this — or rather, my aunt bought it for me, and I may have paid her back — at a Costco, because I saw it on the way out after getting the full Costco experience (the mayonnaise…THE MAYONNAISE). Back in 2001, I thought that it had lovely melodies and… Read More Rating My CD’s: Reveal
I mean, I’ve got a few more band T-Shirts than a man my age probably should, but tats are permanent. And bands, well, they aren’t.
My eyes are fuzzy but much improved. Can’t blog much; the house beckons to be made ready for Easter dinner.
I’m having my eyes fixed today, after which I shall be resolutely occupying meatspace, as the geeks put it. I’ll update when the spirit moves me.
…and no one cares. Okay, Fletch was funny. Caddyshack was kinda funny. The Vacation series was okay-funny. First-season SNL must have been funny (I was 1 at the time).

The public was gouged to the tune of $800,000.… Read More Rats Forced Off Titanic
Last week, I pulled a minor quip in my headline about Spike Lee’s Twitter fiasco. So when I saw this, I thought I’d hit the blogger jackpot. But no, it’s some guy at the Washinton Examiner, stealing my joke. Accusations of drama-queenery are of course entirely just.
Glenn Reynolds’ column on the Obamacare arguments hits on an oft-ignored theme: The subjects entrusted to the federal government by the Constitution — those largely “external” powers — simply don’t lend themselves to corruption. On the other hand, when the government lays a heavy regulatory hand on almost every business and industry, the temptation for… Read More The Bigger the Government Is, the More Corrupt
