I hate to post two Taibbi columns in one day, but Jesus is this brilliant. Just a dead-on assessment from his new piece over at True/Slant: "What the people who are flipping out about the treatment of Palin should be asking themselves is what it means when it’s not just jerks like us but everybody piling on against Palin. For those of you who can’t connect the dots, I’ll tell...
Matt Taibbi tells Sarah Palin that, yes, the media really are out to get her. But it ain’t just the media. And it ain’t for the reasons she probably thinks. And it ain’t just her they’re out to get: What the people who are flipping out about the treatment of Palin should be asking themselves is [...]
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Susan Boyle performed for a full half hour this morning on The Today Show. She’s the first singer who’s only released a debut CD to be invited to sing on the show for so long. People lined up hours ahead of time [...]
So, all you need for a performance to be judged as good is that “everyone’s talking about it the next day”? Well, maybe Ozzy Osborne should appear and bite the head of a bat again? Or maybe the Dixie Chicks should strip down to bikinis and bathe in a wading pool on stage? Heck, people would talk about that! Maybe Loretta Lynn should shave her head bald on stage. People would be talking...
Lately I’ve been hung up on a Patty Griffin song. She’s a songwriter whose waters I have wandered into deeply with a few specific songs, but I know she has so much more out there than what I have experienced. My first introduction to this Maine musician was her song “Top of the World,” covered [...]
By Amanda Terkel Fired Up! Missouri points out that the Lafayette County Republican Central Committee is highlighting a new billboard in the state with steps for a “ citizens guide to revolution of a corrupt government “: This billboard replaces one that warned that the socialist “Obama-Nation” is “coming for you.” It’s unclear who the owner of the billboard...
Last time we saw Katharine McPhee, I remarked that I thought she looked like a low-rent version of one of the lesser Dixie Chicks.Now, it's more like Zack Morris:Someone needs to be saved by the... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
A few weeks ago, idling left a copy of a Dixie Chicks CD in my letterbox for me. I've been listening to it almost constantly. At first I mostly just loved the song Not Ready To Make Nice. But as the album has grown on me, I really love the song Long Way Round. Cause that's me, yeah? I didn't follow the path everyone else I grew up with took. And I've been feeling a bit ... lonely? Left out about that?...
Let me echo Karen's sentiments below about Josh Tyrangiel. He is one of the very finest editors I've ever worked for. He's a pure, gut-bucket, instinctively brilliant journalist, who helped enormously with the pieces I wrote here and also in the print edition. He was especially good at helping me to figure out the right [...]
I got this post idea from DiSnazzio, who I met this year when I met up with a bunch of lady bloggers in a Baltimore bar that played deafening techno music, again, as you do, (also I'm old and deaf)...
posted by Armadillo Joe This woman is an American hero. I put her on the same pedestal as the Dixie Chicks as someone incredibly brave, who had the courage to speak her convictions at great risk to her personal well-being at a time when people were routinely punished severely for speaking out. Recall, if you will, the dark days of early 2003. We were ramping up to W-A-R (shock and awe) and the retarded...
Scarlett Johansson frequents the movie screen as a leading lady against strong male actors, so it seems natural that she would appear on an duet album called Break Up playing against Pete Yorn. Yorn is no stranger to sharing the stage, either; he has collaborated with musical bigwigs such as Dave Grohl and the Dixie Chicks. On the album, Yorn's second release this year, a breakup between the two is...
