On Gerrymandered, U.S.A.
@roboloki I'm from the Meatwad! Formerly represented by Gary Condit, and that's the least of our embarrassments. Thank God (and the state's voters, for once) for the new independent redistricting commission.

On Revisiting the Magical Land of Northern California
@Dave Bry SERIOUSLY, it does NOT rhyme with "terra cotta." The Nevada Tourism Bureau (http://travelnevada.com/) is even fighting an (unwinnable) battle on this front, with a "short A" symbol in the logo and everything.
Displaced West Coaster out.

Can we ask why they keep giving Niall Ferguson cover stories? Ever since the "OBAMA DESTROYED EGYPT!!!" headline he's been batting...what's the opposite of 1.000?

Sullivan is a horrible person and wearing his shirt would be worse than wearing a Doors shirt, which is pretty awful.

At my no-one-gives-a-shit high school, there was a Korean guy affectionately nicknamed "the dirty Joo." Ah, memories.

On Old Christian Videos: Amy Grant's "Lead Me On"
Oh, wow, the memories. I too was weaned on CCM, though we were Catholic and there was room for Time and Newsweek and other non-orthodox reading in our house. But as far as music...yeah, a lot of Michael Card and John Michael Talbot and probably a bunch of other folky singers named Michael; Amy Grant was the only woman who became anything of a star.
Considering the low bar the genre sets for musical accomplishment, "Lead Me On" was a remarkably good album and the song "1974" still makes this secular liberal unabashedly nostalgic.

"EMI/SBK gave her free reign to produce an album based around her poetry ... and it was released two and a half years later."
So, recorded when she was 16.
