While I was running errands today I learned (from the Jazz station that I listen to) that Michael Brecker passed away on Saturday. First RAW, and now Michael Brecker...
I posted the above video because I was fortunate enough to get a second row seat to Michael's tour for his "Time Is Of The Essence" album, and witnessed a blistering Michael ( Read more... ) -
Presupposition Warehouse
(Disclaimer: The author of this entry does not condone the automatic acceptance of the myriad of presuppositions that it took to get the radio talk show host's discussion mentioned in this post off the ground. Nor does the author of this post advocate the use of "cultural spooks ( Read more... ) -
Friedrich Circus
Have you ever wondered what Family Circus would look like if someone ringed all the mediocrity out of it? Well, folks, wonder no more .
Hopefully we can all look forward to a Funky Foucault Winkerbean, or a Derrida Dilbert, in the immediate future... -
Australopithecus Afarensis
I just would like to take a moment to give a shout out to the scientists who found dear Selam .

Hitler-themed restaurants...
Look... I have no idea what you people have planned, but I want in. -
Chez Hitler
After reading this I could not help but wonder what the waiting staff looked like (i.e. uniforms, etc.).
... I also wonder what kind of table I would get if my last name was "Goldberg." -
Ramblings Of The Degenerate Elite
It almost seems laughable to me that Dubya regards a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage as being "an issue of such profound importance." I say "almost" because more pressing issues were ignored so that Dubya could focus on his War On Sin, and frankly that disgusts me. Dubya then goes on to state that "These amendments and laws ( Read more... ) -
For Hermes & Country
In Sam Harris 's book "The End Of Faith" he suggests playing an interesting mental game to help one more clearly understand the irrationality that we (humans) currently find ourselves mired in. I thought it might be fun to play this mental game in my journal not only to give the reader (and myself) a hearty chuckle, but to pass along a valuable ( Read more... ) -
