God only knows how many “Oh No” puns I could use here, but I’m taking the halfway cheap way out and only alluding to their ranks. “Oh No” is the first track off Bird’s Noble Beast, which is due out January 29th on Fat Possum. Each record of his seems to have very strong production [...]

The other day, Emily Kaiser of the Minneapolis City Pages blog forwarded an article she wrote as a response to an Anti-Strib blog article that infers that more bike commuters may mean a victory for Sen. John McCain’s campaign. Why, you might ask? Because more bike commuters on the streets mean more injuries and deaths, reducing the number of hardcore cyclists and potential Democratic voters who back Obama. Yeah, they’re serious. Oh, and they take ...

For starters, the McCain campaign made sure to alter the format of the debate, in order to ensure it will play to Palin's debating strengths. Meaning less give and take between the candidates, plus a chance to rely on more scripted replies (definitely a plus for the former sportscaster).Besides, considering her performance as a candidate thus far, could expectations be any lower?Well, in order to make this argument a bit more convincing, take a look ...

So why aren't they letting her speak? She ain't great, but she isn't as bad here as she has been in this presidential campaign. I think when she talks about what she actually knows, she's OK. She just doesn't know the executive branch stuff. I want to hear her debate, freely.

Beet Carpaccio for the Boston Globe You must have noticed my attachment to beets, non ? And, anything sliced paper-thin: any reason to take out my mandoline is always a good one. For my latest contribution to the Boston Globe’s Food Section, I created a beet carpaccio recipe, a nice change, I thought, from the traditional beef carpaccio more commonly known. This recipe makes for a wonderful vegetarian variant, pleasing to the eyes, and refreshing ...

Dad blogged about this today. It was back during the “Sorry, Everybody” many Americans sent to the world after the last election. I’m still sorry, too. It actually turned out WORSE than I had imagined it would. Looking back, the Democratic candidate wasn’t anything to get excited about, but that last election (selection) was a MESS. Let’s hope there’s no “selection” this time and that it’s a landslide. It deserves to be. Barack Obama is ...

I have been the most cynical of all my friends about the possibility of Obama getting elected. Most people I hang with have been convinced for a long time that he will do this. I tend to have a lot less faith in the American people, the same people who put our current idiot in office the last two elections (OK, so the Supreme Court put him in the first time and voter suppression in ...

I’ve been increasingly uncomfortable with the hysterical anti-Sarah Palin emails I’ve been getting lately from my liberal friends and acquaintances. Not that I don’t agree with many of the concerns voiced in these emails, but the shrill tone and inevitable hyperbole in these viral missives always end up making me roll my eyes and fear that the left is sounding more and more like a right-wing parody of the left. I never forward such emails ...

I am obsessed with Sarah Palin and that is probably exactly the wrong reaction to be having because it is exactly what THEY want me to be doing. What they want us all to do, obsess over this woman and forget that there is actually a real election happening.I can’t write much tonight because I am beat and I need to write something cogent and at least logical.

Sometimes looking at old photographs makes me think of this exchange between comic-strip hero Calvin and his dad: Calvin: Dad, how come old photographs are always black and white? Didn’t they have color film back then? Dad: Sure they did. In fact, those old photographs are in color. It’s just the world was black and white then. Calvin: Really? Dad: Yep. The world didn’t turn color until sometime in the 1930s, and it was pretty ...

Larry Flynt's at it again: According to HUSTLER, “Nailin’ Paylin” is a “naughty adventure to the wild side of that sexy Alaska governor,” featuring “girl-on-girl lovin’,” “nailing the Russians, who come knocking on her back-door,” and a younger Palin getting seduced by her college creationist professor who “will explain a ‘big bang’ theory even she can’t deny!” Also included: a three-way hardcore sex scene starring Palin/Paylin, Hillary Clinton, and Condoleeza Rice.
