Just sayin’, is all….

Free enterprise ain’t getting it done on the US wireless front. Of course, anybody who’s ever had a wireless phone in the US could probably have told you that…. [THX: Frankie Vee at the Western Slope Bureau.]

This is the funniest thing I’ve read at least since the time some guys convinced Evan Dando (of The Lemonheads) that Madonna was on the phone for him. I would have posted it five minutes ago, except I was pretty much incapacitated on the floor laughing.

Fun stuff from the people who brought you the Iraqi Info Minister site. I will say this – right now I wouldn’t take McLellan’s place for any amount of money. Nor is there much chance I’d be asked to….

Meet LJ’s newest member: felixwas. It took awhile, but I finally roped another guy into the blogosphere. He’s smart as hell and a great writer and an even better person to just know. So stop by, see what he has to say, introduce yourself, make him feel welcome.

Brian (angliss)at Daedalnexus points out new research that seems to seriously certify global warming claims. It will be interesting to see how the see-no-evil crowd rebuts the latest.

Jimmy listened as the distinguished professor, wisdom silver as her hair, explained how no human has ever seen his/her own back with his/her own eyes. Later, Jimmy was discovered oddly twisted near a mirror neck broken as a heart.

My little brother John, who lives in Memphis, called awhile ago with a fun heads-up. Al Sharpton is going to lead a rally tomorrow urging city leaders to remove the names of Jefferson Davis (president of the Confederacy) and Nathan Bedford Forrest (a founding father of the Ku Klux Klan) from two city parks.

I promised more “lullaby.” Here’s a tad. ________________ Trance Eve was the Goddess of Dance dance was the chemistry in the beaker in the lab of Eden her perfume flecked with sapphire scales the smell of apples on the rain her hips witching the serpent up the Tree of Knowledge

A couple months ago Bob Lefsetz sent around the text of Steve Jobs’ commencement address to the graduating class at Stanford this past June. I don’t know that I think Jobs’ message was necessarily a new one, but it was extremely well articulated, and hardheads like me can always do with the occasional reminder. This passage is probably the heart

In explaining – or attempting to explain – the Lullaby Pit Brand© to a friend recently, I was noting how the name of the place was intended to slam together a dark and foreboding element (pit) with an element that signified beauty (lullaby). I’m not sure how people read it on their own, but that’s what was in my head

cryptic_candor has posted a great story on a band’s-eye view of “pay-for-play” – an article written by Jacob Slichter of Semisonic (who I actually saw play drums and keyboards at the same time in concert once). Great read, and thanks to Dr. Mescalito for finding it….

For those without a scorecard: 1: Pro-War “Liberal” Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) last month moved to broaden her base by reaching out to social conservatives over a sex scene in a video game. 2: Former right-side darling Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN)

Sunday’s edition of Meet the Press featured a segment on the autism/thimerosal/mercury issue that was pretty interesting.

In a new essay over at the Mojo City News, Cody Barstow asks some questions about Iraq that, frankly, nobody else is asking. He writes, in part: Now, we’re being told over and over that we have to win in Iraq. That we can’t leave. It’s the same unexamined assumption that was made back in the Vietnam War. Let’s question
