In 2010, he of Buffalo Springfield, CSN&Y, and a brilliant solo career, a two-time inductee to the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame and the mind behind the albums After the Gold Rush, Harvest, and Comes a Time and the immortal protest anthem “Ohio,” has won his first Grammy Award.

Movie I Never Knew Existed...
Buffalo ‘66
The story of a man so buried by gambling debts from Scott Norewood’s missed field goal for the Buffalo Bills, that he has to take the fall for his bookie on another charge and serve five years in prison to clear his debts.

They won’t be fooled again?

'How To Spend It' Magazine →
Yes, this exists.
In the middle of a recession, with unemployment through the roof, amidst the worst financial times in decades… There exists a magazine that refers to Longhorn cattle as “accessories for those rolling acres of parkland.”
Yes, this exists.

Just updating you all. 3:44 p.m. — Still haven’t laughed at an iPad joke.
5:41 and Dwire is, one can only presume, still a curmudgeon locked atop his castle of Ivory, refusing to take pleasure in the revelries of the masses; speaking only to inform the neanderthals below of his disapproval.
Periods.

Ah, great minds…
The roommate is way ahead of me on the (Max)iPad front. Kudos.

I wonder if we call it a BLT because we’d feel bad asking for a “bacon sandwich.”
Not my former roommate. He would order a BLT, hold the L & T. So yes, a bacon and mayonnaise sandwich. And god bless Jimmy Johns for serving it to him.

Say What You Will About 'Team America'
I’m certainly not going to sit here and say it was comedy’s shining achievement from the past decade, but that said…
I still can’t read a headline or story about what “intelligence” is suggesting or reporting without chuckling to myself.
