Teaching the tasteless everywhere
There is a fallacy being spread by the Republican party. That is the idea that we can somehow drill ourselves out of high gas prices. Drill drill drill is the mantra being spread from the right. Know this. It is absolute bullshit, and if you believe that somehow drilling offshore will stop you from spending […]

Is turning into some sort of inane American sport during the Olympics. Even during the run up to the Olympics it was getting bad. After all China was to blame for our skyrocketing gas prices, nevermind the fact that the state of California uses more gas than the entire nation of China. Then there was […]

I don’t get how a small indie band from Jacksonville, FL sounds so Bri’ish. But as I perused through the Black Kids’ recent album, “Partie Traumatic,” I detected a tinge of Robert Smith, a smidgen of Tokyo Police Club and a bit of the Kooks. But I think that’s why I like their album, because […]
