Pshaw, I would be all over Dame Judi and Dame Helen Mirren, at the same time if I were lucky (which I am not).

I think ZMF should edit the Utne Reader. ROBERT BLY NEEDS TO LISTEN TO SLAYER, BITCH!

So the Green Zone movie appears to be about the Iraq Survey Group's work looking for WMD. It is all CIA-ed up, which means it will likely be something along the lines of "Bourne in Babylon," what with the Matt Damon and all.

Enkidum is correct- I still think Transcendental Blues is just a fantastic album (in fact I am going to listen to it right now) but I think he started to fall off fast after that. But I am a fascist, so I would think that.

See, shit like this is why I keep coming back to this place.

The main thing I remember about Whore: The Movie is that it had just been released in France when I went there for the first time in 1992. So all over Paris there were posters of Theresa Russell with "Putain" in big letters underneath. I found this really amusing at 17.

Bloody hell, T-J-T: You went to Lord Wandsworth College?

We've secretly replaced the AV Club's verisimilitude with Folger's Crystals. Let's see if they can tell the difference.

Deep Purple reminds me that back in 2003 as this was a hot topic I used to sing "We're all just making plans for Niger." Alas I was the only person who found that amusing.

LD, it was partly about making the choice of Wilson seem nepotistic and therefore not credible, but mostly it was about punishing Wilson by wrecking his wife's career.

DEEP HURTING! DEEP HURTING!

I would rather keep the Helmet/House of Pain collaboration in my head. Helmet has such miraculous powers that they make House of Pain sound good. Also, Faith No More/Boo-Ya Tribe (insert periods where appropriate) just because that was no doubt one of the most bizarre recording sessions in history.

Kirk Cameron is entirely correct. If you are cool or even just think you are cool, you may abbrev it to "P2" or "p-squared."

I concur with Henry and Antisemitron (that makes me sound like I am at the serial killers convention from The Sandman- where's the Corinthian?). Steve Earle's music is awesome (at least through Transcendental Blues) but when my girlfriend first saw him (on the Wire) she immediately said "What is wrong with that guy? …

Guernica, I want to challenge your assertion that the Revolutionary War was doomed to fail without French aid. However, the utter awesomeness of you username and avatar preclude that.

Ok, but just to be clear, Hulkster, et al- if a comedian had a decent premise about Islamic terrorists and wanted to make fun of them with an accent, that would be cool? Like what if they had a funny bit about a duo of bumbling Islamic terrorists a la Sgt. Schultz/Col. Klink or Boris/Natasha. Accents and mockery…

Replicant, people like funny accents. Exhibit A: Hogan's Heroes. Exhibit B: Andy Kaufman's various bits.

Ok, Jeff Dunham sucks monster ass but I have a serious question. Why is it ok to use a stereotype accent and such to mock Nazis or Eastern European Commies but not ok to use a stereotype accent and such to mock Islamic terrorists? I mean, so far as I know from the roughly six minutes I have been forced to listen to…

Anyone that thinks Al Gore would not have been detaining fools with mad abandon after 9/11 needs to put the pipe down. Iraq war- yes, would almost surely not have happened. But rendition, detention at Gitmo or some place with similar characteristics like Bagram, Patriot Act- all that goes down just about the same. …

Naptime: This Time It's Personal- wait, didn't Andy Warhol already make this? Damn, my bad.
