The Rape Tunnel. But is it art?
YesButNoButYes: The Rape Tunnel. But is it art? . Sometimes, doing something you think is artistic in your own mind can be amazing. The art that results can blow people’s minds and make you a household name. Other times, however, you just end up showing the world that you have a serious problem. Namely, that you have a strong desire to rape people. In a tunnel.

The National Parks-America's Best Idea
I’ve been watching the PBS Ken Burns’ doc, The National Parks. If you care a all about nature, the outdoors and the amazing country that we live in, you should at least check it out. It’s pretty damn good. It reminded me of the very first time I ever visited a national park. When I was ten, my parents took us to Glacier National Park in Montana. Once we gained our first view of...

Suspected flag burner pilloried - Albany NY
Suspected flag burner pilloried - Times Union - Albany NY I have to say, while I’m no dogmatic defender of what is essentially a piece of dyed cloth (honestly, the flag itself means nothing if people do nothing to defend the country it represents). Even the founding fathers could give a shit about the flag itself. They were more concerned with making the country work than getting a pretty...

The Gaslight Anthem Unplugs : NPR
I don’t mean to keep harping on this point, but The Gaslight Anthem are a great live band. They also have a great disc out that you should pick up, called The ‘59 Sound. If you don’t believe me after the concert clip I posted last night, take a listen to this session that lead singer Brian Fallon recorded with Seattle indie station KEXP- Brian Fallon: The Gaslight Anthem...

College Football Picks - Week 4
Every week, I make picks for five or so college football games with my co-author of Fourthandblog.com, Adam. Here’s a sneak peek into what has been a middling season for both of us. Read More On the season, Adam is 7-10 and I am 8-10. Not exactly stellar. But we’re both hoping that this is the week that everything comes together. South Florida at No. 18 Florida State Nate - USF has...

Last night was like this, except newer. This is from the show we went to back in April. The person recording this was about ten feet behind me, if not closer. Not that it really matters, Berbati’s is a great place to see a band. It’s small enough that no spot has a bad view, the sound is good and the crowds are usually top-notch, if a little PBR-heavy. Last night, they played with...

Let’s see if this bad boy is up and running. The new, improved and more focused Naternet is here. The greatest thing about having my own domain name, is when I flutter from one blogging platform to the next, I don’t have to send out an annoying mass e-mail to everyone, letting them know the new web address for my new blog. Doing this every six months or so is a great way to turn...
This Might Just Be Goodbye, Tumblr.
I love Tumblr as a community and a blogging platform. Love. I have two blogs here, now and I enjoy using both. But, there is a problem. I find myself writing less and less long-format text posts now that I’m on Tumblr. I get caught up in all of the funny pictures and clever videos and links that the most I end up writing is a sentence or two regarding some other type of media that I post....

My ancestors were pillagers, rapists, murderers and marauders. But they also knew not to go to Scotland, which shows that they weren’t utter barbarians.

Raw Story » Limbaugh: We need segregated buses →
Aside from taking a flying fuck off a short pier, I don’t think that anything is going to stop this drugged-up hate-monger from inciting violence and bigotry among the millions (my father unfortunately included) that listen to his reprehensible bullshit for hours every day.
This is obvious pandering to the growing segment of our country that has been emboldened in their racism. Limbaugh and...

I enjoy this blog. But I cannot imagine listing the best 100 albums of the last nine years. Insane.
I can do Top 10s at the end of every year, but some albums get better over time, some get worse. Some albums don’t even make it on my lists for the year that they were released, but two years later, they’re my absolute favorites.
This guy has too much time on his hands, and it’s...

Who gives a fuck about Kanye West and think that Obama has probably said much, much worse about other people. That guy looks like a world-class cusser.

The Nuts Among Us
For the past month or so, I’ve hesitated to comment on the whirling shitstorm that those on the political right have been whipping up every time President Obama tries to do anything. One more voice in the cacophony wasn’t going to accomplish much, I thought. It’s not like I’m Glenn Beck or Rachel Maddow or even Glenn Greenwald. Then again, just like you, I’m going to...

I guess Canadians aren’t that different from us after all. Except for the fact that their government has the balls to stand up to the ignorant people in their society and say, “No.”
If you see something wrong with your child learning that there are other religions in the world, it shows the severe insecurity that you have in your own faith. If these people were really confident...

What the President wants to address the kids about is this - ”challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning.”
You’re right, Jim Greer, sounds like socialism to me. Personal responsibility, goal setting and hard work are for suckers.
