"All around the world statues crumble for me
Who knows how long I've loved you"

De La Soul are the kind of geniuses who won't be appreciated in their own time, and what makes it harder is that "their own time" has been going on for nearly 30 years now.

With no disrespect to Bryan "Brain" Mantia, who's a fantastic drummer, it ain't quite Primus without Herb on the drums, and for me that's where The Brown Album falls short.

Nein! There's undoubtedly a single German word that not only means "Gentle Herpes" but also conveys the complex set of emotions that are associated with it.

Oh, me too. I try to find at least a few minutes a day to sit, and it's done wonders. I just find it funny (in a dark and sad way) that it's turned into this one-size-fits-all suggestion for any and all emotional issues.

Well, in defense of that second group, being an actual Christian is really, really hard.

That's what Breitbart's for. They've got an article up (which I won't link to here) and while most of the comments are as douchey as you'd expect, there's actually a surprising number of well wishers and people saying that while they disagree with her views, they know that mental illness sucks and hope that things get…

And I don't get why he resurrected some poor schlub, either. Lazarus was a tax burden and not much of a job creator either.

Heartbreaking… I so dearly hope things get better for her. And in one of those weird plate-of-shrimp coincidences, this past weekend I spent the better part of a long drive listening to a bunch of her albums that I stumbled onto on my old iPod. Universal Mother and Faith and Courage deserve a lot more respect.

"Have you tried meditating?"

That… doesn't make any sense.

Having heard only that it was over three hours long and contained a schmaltzy romance and very few actors I'd heard of, I went in expecting to hate it. Sometimes that's the best way to approach a movie. In the end, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, but I haven't felt compelled to revisit it since then. I still…

Sure he is! He can buy beer for the underage AVC'ers.

Rush Limbaugh the drug-addled draft dodger

Don't worry, we'll be hearing plenty from Grover Norquist when the Dems retake the Senate and fiscal responsibility suddenly becomes an important conservative talking point again.

No doubt Sofia Coppola was awful in Godfather III, but (1) as a complete acting novice, it wasn't her fault that she couldn't quite hang with all those heavyweights, and (2) it's unfair that she initially got all of the blame for that movie when it had plenty of other problems; you've got the Pacino/Mantegna/Garcia…

Get a job, you goddamned hippie.

I'm going to be boring and go with "OD's on milk of the poppy."
