Eric Lui, President of the Seattle Public Library Board of Trustees, interviewed him with questions centering on his new book Come to Think of It. We heard how he creates his editorials for NPR by keeping himself immersed in the news of the day - and a very good research assistant. He told tales of his days with Richard Nixon...

“Money Make Me…”

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:21:39 PDT
I know ya’ll been talking about the big news of last weekend….No not that Kanye wasn’t invited to Jay and B’s wedding, although the dynamic duo’s nupital arrangement pretty much blew everything else off the radar. Instead, I’m talking about Mr. Knowles’ new record/concert/merchandising contract with Live Nation, guaranteeing hip-hop’s

Strange Way To Start The Morning

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:51:32 PDT
Strange Way To Start The Morning Posted by Aurelius @ 6:51 pm So, I walk outside this morning to take my son to the bus stop, and hear a helicopter. Not a starnge sound, as Frederickson is near Thun Field, McChord AFB, and Fort Lewis. Then I realized that it was TWO helicopters. As I squinted up into the sky (this is at 6:30am; pre-coffee) it took me a few seconds to realize that they were News Copters. When I got back to the ranch, after making sure the young one actually go onto the b

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:51:57 PDT
Bill O'Reilly, promising an investigation, claimed tonight, 4/15/08, that Jeremiah Wright is a hypocrite because he soon will be "living large" in a 10,000 foot home in an " all white neighborhood'' and " no ghetto in sight." O'Reilly speaking to Amanda Carpenter, Townhall.com, sculpted the information from an article published 4/14 by Ron Kessler, News Max to make the case that Wright is not who he pretends to be. O'Reilly claimed that Wright was raised in a " comfortable suburb" of Philadelp

Looking Into the Future With an Editorial Calendar

I’ve recommended working with an Editorial Calendar to organize and plan your blog’s content, and now, I want you to look into the crystal ball of the future to make some decisions about upcoming blog content. The Olympics are coming. Didn’t you hear? Are you ready to blog about the Olympics? What angle might you take? The Tibet issue? The China as criminal perspective? China as a new political and economic force in the world? The dream for gold? The athletes? An editorial on the overblown obe

Only this time as a snazzy, sleek online operation called: XXFactor.com. It a literal one-porn-stop shop packed with pics, news, reviews and, currently, a video of "Gigi" from Lucas Kazan with some sort of hot Matt Damon guy wanking off only with hair shaped like pasta from that "momma-told-me- there'd-be-days-like this" poster. (Lucas Kazan makes great stuff, too!) But it does make you wonder...just how much porn are we producing? By the looks of JrJockGymCamp.com - alot! Source.

Does Negativity Deliver Credibility? If So, That's Nuts.

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:57:48 PDT
Over the last 18 months or so, I've gained something of a reputation for being an early adopter more likely to heap praise on early versions of software with clear bugs than to drag services through the mud, calling out their every hole and flaw. I've stated that I do champion the little guy, and when I've found a service I like, there's no question you'll know, because I'll be consistent in my comments on it, highlighting new tweaks and trying to help you understand why I like what I do, and, i

BRIEF NOTE] Slovenia's Ten Day War

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:58:23 PDT
Partly because I'm interested in it as inspiration for an ongoing writing project, I've been reading up on Slovenia's war of independence, the Ten Day War, fought in June 1991 a year after a declaration of independence. (The previous link was to Wikipedia; the Slovenian defense ministry's version is here.) The main thing that strikes me about this war of independence is how neatly and successfully it was managed, with barely more than a hundred casualties and a duration of just ten days, and a n

and life is good.

and life is good. April 15, 2008 Jimmy Eat World was on Leno last night. They rocked, naturally. They played "Always Be," which contains what is probably my favorite Jimmy Eat World lyric ever, "You can't keep safe what wants to break." And I still think that Jim Adkins looks like Neville Longbottom. I got the news that I am definitely being offered the position with the trendy airline. They'll be sending me an offer letter within the next week. I think I'm going to hold out for more money.

The CMT Awards Take "One-Hit Wonder" Jokes To An Uncomfortable New Level

Idolator: All About The Music, USA - Apr 15, 2008
 

Last night's CMT Music Awards�the country-music television network's version of its sister network MTV's Video Music Awards�veered into "a little more than slightly excruciating" territory when co-host Miley Cyrus tripped her way through a Taylor Swift intro in which she talked about texting the glittery-guitar-hoisting country protege incessantly, an endless setup to what would be one of many "ha ha, Dad, I'm paying your bills!" zingers that the Hannah Montana star sent in the direction of her father/svengali, "Achy Breaky Heart" singer Billy Ray Cyrus. (Yes, he performed the line dance that sent him and his mullet to stardom back in 1992, the same year his cash cow was sired.) The opening skit, in which Trace Adkins and his really greasy mop tried currying favor with everyone from Donald Trump to the three remaining Presidential candidates in order to get passes to the show, also mined that route; its final punchline was that Billy Ray was making extra scratch by scalping tickets, which were of course hot properties because of his daughter's presence. That girl is going to be so messed up in three years. Full list of winners�which includes three awards for Kellie Pickler, two for Taylor Swift, and one for that super-creepy video where Jon Bon Jovi and Leann Rimes make out�after the jump.



_ Video of the year: Taylor Swift, "Our Song."
_ Male video: Trace Adkins, "I Got My Game On."
_ Female video: Taylor Swift, "Our Song."
_ Group video: Rascal Flatts, "Take Me There."
_ Duo video: Sugarland, "Stay."
_ Breakthrough video: Kellie Pickler, "I Wonder."
_ Collaborative video: Bon Jovi featuring LeAnn Rimes, "Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore."
_ Performance of the year: Kellie Pickler, "I Wonder" from 41st Annual CMA Awards.
_ Supporting character of the year: Rodney Carrington from Trace Adkins' "I Got My Game On."
_ Wide open country video: Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, "Gone, Gone, Gone (Done Moved On)."
_ Tearjerker video: Kellie Pickler, "I Wonder."
_ Comedy video: Brad Paisley, "Online."
_ Video director: Michael Salomon for Toby Keith's "High Maintenance Woman" and Trace Adkins' "I Got My Game On."
