Where do you start when you hear everything at once?
To those of you who got spammed because of me: my apologies. Live and learn. Wayne&Wax forwarded me a spam this morning, which at first glance appeared to come from me. While the scare prompted me to change my passwords to something even more ridiculously complicated, it turns out I was just silly to leave [...]
Jim Hightower — no not this Hightower — wrote about Union Cab in the February Issue of The Hightower Lowdown. It seems it’s an excerpt from his forthcoming book. I can’t say enough how fortunate I feel to be a member-owner of Union Cab. I’ve gotten used to this involved, informed, and equitable lifestyle. I’m [...]
Part I Home from college at the end of my first year, I was hanging out in my parents’ yard with a small group of close friends who still lived full-time in the town where I grew up. I’d just come outside after a long shower. Fumbling for a cigarette, I asked Nat for a [...]
“Too Drunk to Dream,” which you can download free and legally here, is the first release from Distortion, the new pink album by The Magnetic Fields. Here’s a clip of them performing it live March 3rd in LA, after about 45 seconds of typically awkward stage banter. It’s a little sloppy (it’s supposed to be, [...]

I received a piece of mail yesterday from the Feingold Senate Committee. It’s the kind you know is asking for money. Even though I’m low on that at the moment, I never mind getting mail from our country’s best Senator. It’s an info-packed mailing, but to save paper it’s no larger than a postcard. It [...]
Today marks the first time since Michigan and Florida’s “elections” that Obama would be ahead of Clinton even with the inclusion of both states in the delegate count. Keep in mind, too, that Obama wasn’t even on the ballot in Michigan, and so Clinton would receive a disproportionate (and fraudulent) boost from the inclusion of [...]
My original first choice endorses Obama! He, to me, once seemed the right person at the right time, until his lackluster debate performances helped stamp out the fire. He’s back now, and on the right team. A governor with real foreign policy experience, fluent in Spanish? It’s almost too good to be true. I know [...]
