Wow.
Lynn emailed me a link to Championship Vinyl… at Sulkbrarian‘s, which led me to this and this.
I am not alone!

My New Favorite Band
For me, it seems like there’s a new one every few days, but I realize that the songs of STEW / THE NEGRO PROBLEM keep popping up on the internal playlist. And they have been since I wrote about him/them in Vital Source months ago.
Girl Inside Of Cake
OK, maybe I’m weird, but does anyone else remember the practice of having a young lovely, bikini-clad, hide in a giant cake and leap out at parties?
Not that I’ve ever seen it personally, mind you, just in loads of movies from the 40s and 50s.
So I went looking on the web for some documentary evidence of this practice, but I’ve been foiled thus far. Can you help?
Irony – intentional?
April is National Poetry Month.
Which is funny, given….
The mysterious meets the enigmatic…
…black hole is generated.
Seriously, it does my heart good to see my pals doing good (for themselves and others).

Clark Sanders. I finally got to meet the enigmatic Clark Sanders.

Compare & Contrast
MSNBC – Kerry campaign provides some military records
“Senator Kerry’s record of nondisclosure and his flip-flop on this issue should concern voters,” Mehlman said.
Russert: But you authorize the release of everything to settle this?
President Bush: Yes, absolutely.
We did so in 2000, by the way.
Piss on Him…
I just stumbled again across a phrase I’ve stumbled across before:
I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire…
That’s a good dismissal of someone, but I’m thinking that a worse one might be:
I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire and I had just finished a twelve-pack.
“Reversing Vandalism”
My wife is a librarian. Many of my friends and acquaintances are librarians. I once posted a scan of most of the library cards I’ve ever had. I am a bibliophile, and I’m trying to teach my son that same love of books (which I suspect will succeed – family lore has it that I learned to read at three as a defense mechanism against my own parents whose noses were always in books).
As far as political views go, I am obviously a fierce partisan – but, like the saying goes, I may hate what you say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it. Destroying books of any sort is disgusting. Destroying publically owned books because you don’t agree with the thoughts in them is even more disgusting (and, I think, an act of supreme cowardice).
I think this project is a good example of making the best of a bad situation.
