The Financial Crisis For Dummies
Senior editor of Marketplace.publicradio.org Paddy Hirsch has been doing some good old stick figure dry erase explanations of the forces behind our present financial situation. There are some pretty amusing analogies involved at times. All in all, while they’ve raised even more questions as I’ve watched them, they’re a good introduction to what’s caused the [...]
My Lids, Yo
So my ballcap obsession has finally come to fruition. After a long period of self-restraint (only one purchase for cheap on eBay that didn’t even end up fitting…duh) I finally fell off and had to have the headgear to root for my teams. Aside from the Celtics eBay bomb (which is a one-of-a-kind for which [...]

Wye Oak
I’m really feeling this Wye Oak video. It’s got the super cute 90s indie rock thing with the Breeders-esque vocals and the explosive noise contrast. And the abrupt ending is great. They’re a Baltimore duo easily categorizable with Beach House but really unlike Beach House musically. Merge is putting out their album and you can [...]
Sarah Palin on CBS and SNL
So I haven’t written much about Palin on this here blog. I would have said a whole lot if I had been in writing moods. Mostly I’ve been in reading moods. But it’s time I make it clear that I can’t believe John McCain picked that woman to be his VP. It’s absolutely insane. She’s [...]
