Alex Chilton Retrospective

He was one of the great pop craftsmen, and there’s an awful lot out there on his importance in the larger scheme of things. I was a Byrds fan as a kid, so I liked that jingle-jangle guitar, and a fan of Badfinger, and later the bands that were said to have been influenced [...]

Joan Walsh Goes All “Respect for Nunsy”

Joan Walsh Goes All “Respect for Nunsy”

But [Stupak] went beyond what was necessary, yesterday and today, in disrespecting the 60 Catholic nuns representing 59,000 sisters who bucked the Catholic bishops and came out for the bill Wednesday, declaring it “the real pro-life position.”
Only this is an egregious lie, and by now, had she bothered to do her homework, she’d know that:

A Hard Case

In fact, prosecutors said Brooks asphyxiated Andrews. He and an accomplice encased the body in a concrete-and-chicken wire egg that Brooks built in a backyard rock garden at his landlord’s home in San Diego.

Regarding Dating Game Killer Rodney Alcala

You may recall that a couple of months ago, I wrote about the spate of murders of young women by guys who’d become minor celebs by appearing on “reality shows.” I tried to interest Dr. Helen in posting on the topic, since I’d be interested to know whether she’s got any insight into what [...]

Slaughter “Rule” Passes, Roll Call [UPDATE]

I don’t think that there’s any expression of disgust that’s too extreme for this.

UPDATE: Got that wrong. Dicentra explains:

They voted DOWN a motion by the GOP to compel them to vote on whether the Slaughter (rule) [...]

Thanks to Jerry

My friend Jerry Wilson has written the nicest thing, in all likelihood, that’s ever been written about me. All I can do is try to live up to it.
