Wide Right
Read the lyrics and admire their intelligence and thematic originality. Hear them, though, and they take on the sensible candor and irrefutable force of a good talking-to from, I don't know, Molly Ivins or Studs Terkel, socked home by, I don't know, Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

Resume Time!
Reading resumes at work for our summer internship. Best line in a letter yet:
It is my understanding that your organization focuses on issues of fairness between firms and in our interaction with nature.
I find this to be a rather interesting interpretation of our mission, which is to save jobs.

Hasslehoff Watch
I'm proud of shows like Baywatch and Knight Rider because it's about saving lives, not taking lives. It's entertainment, it's tongue-in-cheek, it brings the world together. I think it's responsible for a lot of world peace.

Movie Catering
Woke up Friday to a movie being made outside my house. Or to be more specific, the catering truck was set up directly in front of my house. Mmmm...

Funny Ha Ha
The lady and I saw this film on Saturday- very funny and good. It is only running this week unless more people go to see it at Cinema Village, so go see it!
Funny Ha Ha
It reminded me A LOT of my time after graduation when I was bumming around after college. It was nice to have a film where I could identify with the main character.

Social Security Cuts
NYT: Social Security: Help for the Poor or Help for All?:
"'I know some rich people, and if you ask them whether they would rather have a tax increase or their benefits cut, they'll immediately say, 'Cut the benefits,' ' said Representative Bill Thomas of California, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee."
So, uh, you 'know some rich people'? Good for you.
