If R.E.M. Makes A Comeback Album And Nobody Hears It, Does It Still Rock?
For the remaining faithful, a listen to their 14th and latest album, Accelerate, will feel like a vindication of sorts. The question is, who still cares?

It's been a month since the Times broke the McCain/Vicki Iseman scandal, and since then the press has gone after Iseman with all the veracity and acumen of a dead hippo. What gives?

Our song this week is about making a choice for the Democratic ticket, without the benefit of feeling pulled by either camp's platitudes about a shining future or a near-perfect past.

It's the last day when the Democrats have nothing to do but try to impress Democrats, and I like to be impressed. If only it could stay January forever.

I only hope that our next president, Democrat or Republican, is not enough of a d*ckhead to try to hide condoms from people that are dying of AIDS.

This administration has done a fantastic job at casting experts whose findings are at odds with it, occasionally pulling one out when it needs one to prove a point. That's what this song is about.
