Fairly well said:
“So why the hell are we fighting him sir?”
McCandless smiled. “Because we want to be here, and he doesn’t want us to be here. Two dogs in a small cage, Sharpe. And if he beats us out of Mysore he’ll bring in the French to chase us out of the rest of India [...]

…if you can stand it. This also ran last from midnight to three last night, and I caught part of the middle hour - it was enough to make me want to watch the whole thing, especially at an time when my faculties are as available as they’re ever likely to be Scratch that, I [...]
Poetaster popularity finally on the wane

Twenty years late, but welcome nonetheless:
Today that same market is telling rappers to please shut up. While music-industry sales have plummeted, no genre has fallen harder than rap. According to the music trade publication Billboard, rap sales have dropped 44% since 2000 and declined from 13% of all music sales to 10%. Artists who were [...]

Chuck caught Dinosaur Jr in Minneapolis and wrote a nice review, which reminds me I haven’t got their new album yet. I also note that on June 11 (which I think may be the same night SciFi is airing the latest Ghost in the Shell movie? Oh well) they’ll be playing a free show at [...]

I suppose I’m the only one who didn’t know this, and I’m a little ashamed to even blog it: apparently you can apply multiple classes to a single HTML tag! I suppose that’s the downside to learning by solving problems - if something doesn’t manifest itself as a problem, you never learn it.

Warren’s observation:
I am back at work after the five weeks of my annual leave. Thank you to all my readers who, in despite of my leave-taking note of Saturday, April 29th, nevertheless emailed to inquire whether I’d been fired, had fallen gravely ill, or been assassinated.
To my colleagues who could not be present, let me [...]

If TJIC hasn’t been providing you with your USRDA of Doctorow-mocking lately, well… revitalize yourself:
(SCENE: a strip mall Radio Shack with a single Radio Shack EMPLOYEE standing behind the sales counter. CORY DOCTOROW enters.)
SFX: electronic doorbell goes “Dooo-weee!”
CORY DOCTOROW: Hmmph. I certainly hope that doorbell isn’t keeping private records of who enters and exits the [...]

India says that poverty is a more pressing problem than climate:
India said on Tuesday that poor nations had to give priority to ending poverty rather than fighting global warming at 189-nation U.N. climate talks criticized by environmentalists as a rambling talk shop.
Nations from Papua New Guinea to Iceland gave speeches during a novel two-day U.N. [...]
