On When and What Do Guys Think About Pants? An Investigation
Pants is a funny word. If I am not mistaken, on Knifecrime Island, it refers to underwear. And the phrase "pile of pants" means, like, "rubbish" or "bullshit."
("Did you read that op-ed by David Brooks? What a pile of pants!")
I liked this post a lot.

It's an academy of lies. (Or something like that.)

On Guided By Voices (Classic Lineup), 1992-1996, In Order
At first I was very excited to see there was a Listicle Without Commentary about one of my favorite bands. But upon reading it, I am saddened to realize that it is not about one my favorite bands, but about an imposter version of that band, with the same name and identical song titles. Because such a Listicle Without Commentary about the band that is one of my favorites would have "Don't Stop Now" in the top 10, and "Redman And Their Wives" where it rightfully belongs, at no. 1.

On Mitt Romney: No Nixon
Oh, wow, "casually vicious." That must totally be why Romney has always reminded me more of the villain from "The Dead Zone" more than any other politician of our time. It's something in his plastic smile. You can just so easily see him kicking a dog to death. And of course, thanks to Gail Collins, we know about him and dogs. (Not that I'm advocating anyone with clairvoyant precognition actually shoot him, of course.)
