I echo the sentiments of the great John Hodgman.

Enough of the Team of Rivals talk already. Sure, Hillary Clinton is not a bad choice. I just wonder if she’s the best choice.  I am hoping Powers will somehow make her way into Obama’s State Dept. Talk about somebody who could give Hillary a run for her money.

You’re fucking kidding me, right?  Ok Obama, you won, but you’re on notice buddy! This unlicensed plumber’s gonna be keeping tabs on you. Of course you have to pay 15 bucks/year to read all about it.  This is utterly disgusting.

hahaha

I took it upon myself to pick up Foreskin’s Lament. Just to give you a frame of reference, Auslander starts out explaining he was raised in an Orthodox Community, something he likens to the raising of veal. In the context of imminent arrival of his first born, Auslander levels about his G-d issues. Definitely not an atheist, Auslander believes in a G-d, a really vindictive one at that. At face value, it could be construed as an angry diatribe against G-d, life, his family, etc. But really, it’s a lot more than that. Oh the anger is definitely there, intricate, sad, legitimate anger, but also humor, pathos, the list goes on. I’m eager to hear more from him in the coming future…whenever I have time to read for fun again…whenever that is. Also, the guy does a lot for my shiksa guilty pleasures…

Definitely in my top ten music films. From the land that brought you Van Morrison, these guys definitely once again prove the Irish know how to rock out on a soul standard. Keep an eye out for a younger Glenn Hansard of Swell Season/The Frames/Once fame.

Also, I’m really happy when I can ogle at an attractive Ralph Fiennes who is not guilt inducing (read: not Voldemort, or the dude in Schindler’s List, or voicing Ramses in Prince of Egypt, etc).

Speaking of Anthony Minghella (may he rest in peace), join the lobby to release Truly Madly Deeply.
