The Weekend Interview with Clint Eastwood: A... →
Aside from the flat tax (which is stupid for so many reasons, unless it’s graduated in accordance with rising levels of income) Clint is the kind of lifelong Republican that we need more of.
Less Tea Party wingnuts and more moderate, thoughtful Republicans is a nice pipe dream to hold on to.

Thermals @ Branx
There’s probably no way that I’m going to come out of this without sounding like a grumpy old man, but here goes, anyway.
Sara has been sick for the past few weeks with mono, so her energy has been next to nil 99% of the time. Her mood has fluctuated between depressed at having no energy and feels like crap to pissed off that she has no energy and feels like crap, with the...

Growing Up Nate: First Crush, First Kiss
My first crush was a preacher’s daughter. I was in the fourth grade and she was new in school. Her family had just moved to town after her father got a job at one of the local churches. My religion spectrum at the time was barely wider than different denominations of Lutherans, although I was vaguely aware the my grandparent’s church wasn’t the same as ours. They...

Ten Reasons to Watch Archer Instead of 30 Rock,... →
I can’t argue against any of these reasons, so I’m just going to DVR both shows, but I’ll watch Archer first. Sorry, Liz Lemon, you’re no Lana Kane.

What the fuck? Can we start talking about why we’re still in Iraq and Afghanistan, or at least about how to better take care of our troops’ mental wellness? This is horrifying and disgusting. If we can afford to ship them overseas to fight our battles, we should be doing everything we can to ensure that they can get help when they need it. They don’t deserve to come to this kind...

– Ladies and gentlemen, this could be your next door neighbor. Can we all stop pretending that there are people fomenting the kind of hate and anger among us and that we need to stop listening to them like they’re the gospel truth?

Cameron Crowe's Pearl Jam documentary due later... →
I should really be more excited for this than I am. Perhaps because I know if I go to see it in the theater, I’ll have to deal with the new crop of Pearl Jam fans who treat them like the fucking Grateful Dead or Phish, instead of one of the bands that broke grunge.

Jon Meacham, nailing it. Nice to see common-sense talk on this subject anywhere in the media.

Growing Up Nate: Teammates
The sport I first came to love was basketball. I started playing in a summer rec league in the 4th grade. I was just one of the dozens of kids, gamely trying to dribble without staring at the ball, as it negotiated the sneaky distance between hand and floor. I quickly learned that I wouldn’t be the best player on just about any team I was going to be on, even in such a small town....

Rush Limbaugh Democrats Support Shooter | Loughner... →
Despite my calls in the wake of the horrific shootings in Arizona, I’d like to re-iterate that Rush Limbaugh is not a reasonable member of our society, but is a total fucking asshole who deserves to die in a fire.
That is all.

After Loughner apparently gave up drugs and booze, “his theories got worse,” Tierney says. “After he quit, he was just off the wall.”
So, he got weirder AFTER he stopped smoking weed and drinking? Huh…
