Except he did write some of his stuff. Not a lot, ut not none. And it doesn't matter, plenty of legit country singers didn't right there own stuff. Look at Patsy Cline. And he dresses like a Texan hick, which he is.

I bought an ant farm, and those fuckers didn't farm shit…

A severed foot is an awful stocking stuffer

It was like teamed lincoln-douglas. With a shit-ton of rebuttals. WHats funny is how similar it was to the LD topic I debated back in 01-02, "which is better, a totalitarian society or a society with no external control at all." Alot of the arguments hinged on the basic nature of man. And either way you went with…

Sunglasses, as much as I love Before the Flood, its not as accessible as Live at Leeds. Live at Leeds is THE pinnacle of live albums. It is the first Who album I direct people to if they are at all interested in The Who. It is everything awesome about them in one package, it represents why I love The Who. On the…

The main Palestinian cause is the independence of and removal of Israeli's from the occupied territories (The West Bank and previously Gaza). Hamas is more into the "drive them into the sea" mold, but most Palestinians and the PA are in it for an independent homeland including the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem,…

McCabe and Mrs' Miller is not only my favorite Altman film, it's my favorite film period. Pure concentrated awesomeness.

Oh I miss that shit. It was the best.

I agree that you can call one man's terrorist another man's freedom fighters, but in many cases, and ESPECIALLY in the case of Al Qaeda, the vast majority of the people whose freedom they are supposedly fighting for thinks their terrorists and would like them gone. Thats what happens when you heavily target your…

Mythbusters
Mythbusters only as a runner-up? That's just cause you couldn't pair it up with something else good (everything its inspired has been horrible). Damn you Noel and your love of symmetry!!

GK is an awesome book, and if you haven't already, you should read Nate Fick's memoirs, One Bullet Away, that include good portions of the story from his point of view. He has a much different view of Godfather, for example. It comes accros from everything I've seen of Fick why he is the CEO of a major DC think tank…

BTW, these are situations where SOMEONE does have to be the asshole, cause the point needs to be made and strongly. The necessity of being an asshole, however, does not make the person who steps up to the plate any less of an asshole. To make an AVC approved Wire metaphor, Jimmy McNulty fits this role well. He's…

After reading both Olson's "I won't read your fucking script," and his comments on the AV Club article, I've come to two conclusions. One, Josh Olson is by all appearances a raging, gaping asshole. This unfortunately takes away from his very valid, accurate points. Writers get screwed out of a lot of credit, both…

I could be wrong, but I don;t think there were any outright illegal guns in the raid on the center in last week's episode, I just remember rifles, shotguns, and pistols. Nothing fully auto (and therefore illegal for civilian ownership)

Whenever I'm driving from Minnesota to Colorado or back, I always throw on Nebraska as soon as I cross into, well, Nebraska. And if I'm heading to Colorado, as soon as I see the rockies I gotta put on Rocky Mountain High. And on the way back into the Twin Cities through Bloomington, The Hold Steady's Southtown…

Nobel

I read that the Yiddish Policeman's Union is on the backburner as they tackle a True Grit remake. This is simultaneously great and horrible news. The Yiddish Policeman's Union is one of my favorite books of recent years, and is perfect Coen material. But True Grit, how awesome will that be?!

While there were frequent guffaw inducing jokes, the A plot definitely sucked. Halfway through the episode all I cared about was professor Ted and his tweed jacket. A plot can string me along with a few funny jokes, but it can still be a bad plot overall and make me lose interest. (although AH talking through the…

They had a Redhook LOnghammer placement on some other episode, maybe this season, I can;t remember
