Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ita, last Monday's Yo Is This Racist podcast is about yams vs. sweet potatoes, so I thought of you immediately. For what that's worth?

Michelle Shocked's show in Evanston was canceled thanks to her rant in S.F.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm unpleasantly surprised that Michelle Shocked went off on a homophobic rant at all. Doing so in a traditionally LGBT-friendly city adds a shovel full of stupid to the bigotry. If it had to happen at all, I wish it had been someone whose music I liked less.

I don't think it was stupid; I think it was willful and purposeful. She used to live in SF.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I have to say I'm... surprised.

Is anyone else going to watch Bates Motel? I can't decide if it looks worth it or like a train wreck.
