Talking back to stripper music 2/ Talking back to misheard lyrics 1 (cranky-d)
You know that part at the bridge, where he says, overdubbed and overlapping, “What’s that spell?” Well, a lot of people heard it as, “What’s that smell?” The funny thing is, it works pretty well either way. Answer ghosted here->“Women,” Def Leppard.
Breaking: Rape charges dropped against Duke Lacrosse players [Pablo]
It seems the victim has become uncertain as to one critical detail of the case: whether she was or was not raped. Nifong has gone to ground with a sign on his door reading “No Media Please”. He needs to be prosecuted for what he did to these boys and their lives and their team and their school and their families. But instead, he’s pressing forward with first degree sexual
A Quickening of Events – Updated [ahem]
Interesting doings recently in the Middle East proving the lesson that if you wait long enough, circumstances change, often in your favor. Maybe all the US has to do to win is to do what Bush has been suggesting all along: stay the course. That is, circle the field and let the inherent tribal distrusts and hatreds of the Shia and Sunni do our work for us. Maybe, just doing

The impact caused the head to fly onto the road. Time still faces two
The View from Trump Towers [Dan Collins]
Trump fired back later Wednesday in a TV interview, calling O’Donnell a “slob,” among other insults. “I never went bankrupt, but she said I went bankrupt. So probably I’ll sue her because it would be fun.” I’m all for fun, but this critter gets more than enough media face time. I don’t know. It’ll keep the trial lawyers happy, but it will only prove what we already know: she’s a
A Telling Vignette [Dan Collins]
Driving to work this morning, shortly after 5 am, the BBC World Service was running a man-on-the-street piece about the record $40 million dollar bonus paid out to Morgan Stanley’s CEO. The chirpy American reporter interviewed a hot dog vendor who said that he hadn’t noticed any increase in his business, then went to a man “selling $10 scarves; the sign says they’re 100% cashmere”: Radio reporterette: “So, what do
