The smug grin. The hyperbole. The need to repeat the same drivel again and again and again. Yup – it’s BushCo delivering their annual report…. er, State of the Union. He is, of course, leaving out a lot of details: the fact that other Presidents who’ve used FISA have obtained the necessary warrants, the fact …
More musical fun after a warm January day (believe me, this warm winter weather is driving me nuts – where’s the damn snow?). N: The Best of New Grass Revival – New Grass Revival O: One More Song: An Album For Club Passim – various artists P: Hang On Little Tomato – Pink Martini The …
There has been a lot of talk – angry, horrfied, mournful, scornful, confused, raging, screaming, crying, swearing to the heavens, damning to hell, pouring gasoline on electronic personae and lighting them ablaze, reaching out with a comforting blanket – about the fact that Senate Democrats couldn’t block cloture on the debate about the confirmation of …
Right now, there’s a lot of chat in the liberal blogopshere about how “we all need to filibuster” over the cloture vote on Alito. The issue is portrayed as the “put up or shut up” moment that Dems need to act on. Yet I don’t think it is – at least, in the form it …

Yeah, there was a hiatus for a few days while sprite was out of town. We resumed the project last night. E: Compass & Companion – Mark Erelli F: Folksong America – Volume Two – various artists The latter was chosen for its title. It is part of an early-1990s Smithsonian Folkways project that I …
I freely admit to being a closet TV junkie. It’s a habit that I’d like to break, and the major networks have been doing their part by continuing to churn out some awful shows: too formulaic, dumb writing, casts with no chemistry, etc. And as I don’t have cable or dish coverage, I need to …
