Mandatory Volunteerism Is Wrong… And Oxymoronic, You Tards

Bydio (Free subscription) | 11/17/2008

Vin Suprynowicz knows what’s up. This article is from May, 1999, and it talks about the Gray Davis and the Clintons wanting to make volunteerism mandatory. Super oxymoron, but that’s Marxism for ya.

CD: Rock review: Neil Young, Sugar Mountain

The Observer (Free subscription) | 11/09/2008

Back in 1968, would-be solo star Neil Young did a couple of low-key gigs in Michigan to see if he could make it without his former band, the short-lived but influential Buffalo Springfield. Finally, the recording of this quiet moment in history sees the light of day: wonderfully stripped-back renditions of 'Mr Soul' and 'Expecting to Fly' are interspersed with slightly awkward on-stage banter. Neil...

Something's Happening Here

Plains Feeder (Free subscription) | 11/01/2008

What it is ain't exactly clear. To quote the old Buffalo Springfield lyric. We're bombarded with "news" reports suggesting Obama has this election sewn up and the actual ballots are just a formality. Apparently the only questions left to answer are how large Obama's victory will be and how massive the Democrat majority in Congress will be. Yet there are many signs, for those who look closely, that...
