As I suggested, getting my Aerosmith Top 10 would be an interesting exercise. It was. I ended up with 20 contenders, so I just arranged them in tiers. As a special bonus, I have links to .mp3s of all these. … Continue reading →

I grew up on the immortal WBCN. When they changed formats (I forget the name of their new format, alternocrap or something), I switched to WZLX. Now I switch between “Dave FM” and 96.1, both of which play generous helpings … Continue reading →

Random items of interest I’ve come across lately (sorry if the links don’t work. Get a membership to Salon, it’s worth it): A Meterman steals hundreds of thousands of dollars, quarter by quarter. Tennesse forgets to pay the phone bill, … Continue reading →

So let me get this straight. A 69-year old man mistakenly flies his Cessna too close to the White House, setting up a 9/11 panic that evacuates the capitol. And the FAA revokes his license. I am stunned that this … Continue reading →

Earlier, I said that the media let the Bushies get away with their lies. They have, so the Bushies lie more. If you can make up quotes about Gore, make up stories about Gore, and no one calls you on … Continue reading →

Rice cooks the books to fake the terrorism isisn’t rising. Once again, the Bushies figure out a way to lie without technically lying.

Quite good. My only beef is the deletion of my favorite line from the book, something like “The Vogon starship hovered over the ground, much like bricks don’t.”

GWB is president because he lied and got away with it. Too many people believed the lies. Consider Iraq. Either you believe it was connected to 9/11 in some way or you don’t. If you do believe that Iraq has … Continue reading →
