From a friend of mine, via Facebook… I think I have this figured out. Teabaggers:
Don’t want government to do anything for anyone who is not like them, and
Don’t want government to do anything to anyone who is like them.
The corollary, as evidenced by the stunning silence from them about the Arizona “papers, please” law, is that:
It’s O.K. for government to do anything to anyone...

Last week in Los Angeles I participated in a live Q&A as part of an ASCAP expo on songwriting. When the topic of Twitter came up, I explained my waning interest in it being part of my daily life. By no means do I think it’s over as a medium altogether, but I do think that the days of “Twitter: The…

Progressive Blue Prints: We Can Not Stand Silent! →
Last week the Governor of Arizona signed bill SB 1070 into law making it mandatory for police to pull over, stop on the street, or drag out a grocery store, anyone who ‘they think might look like’ an immigrant and demand that they produce their birth certificate.

tamburina:
It was intense, but the beareded, flannel-clad Midwestern looking hipster won. His opponent, a Julian Casablancas look-a-like, sulked away to buy himself some second hand t-shirts.
I went and had a drink afterwards to erase this from my mind, but it did not work.

Over the past few years I’ve been casting about trying to find the best site creation tools. After trying Freeway, Dreamweaver, iWeb, Squarespace, Wordpress, Blogger, Virb, and Posterous. I’ve finally settled down and decided upon Tumblr as my long term home. The thing is,...

Who Cares If Heinz Uses HFCS? Make Your Own...
I just read an article on Consumerist, about someone who wrote into Heinz asking for non-HFCS ketchup. All he got back in response was a health lecture. That had me thinking, why not just make your own ketchup? It’s not hard, and it will be A LOT more flavorful, and healthy too.
Here’s a recipe for Spicy Ketchup from Michael Symon, Iron Chef and owner of Cleveland restaurants Lola,...
