My old roommate Dan Darcy is hiking the Appalachian trail, and blogging about it. Please check him out here–he’ll also be added to the blogroll after I post this. DD was just living in LA, so I imagine this is the cultural equivalent of moving from Maine to LA. Which Dan also did, by way […]

Take it away, Danny Trejo So this punk comes up, he says, “I went to blah blah,” just some, I don’t know what the hell it is, Lee Strasberg or some bullshit training, “and I don’t need no has-been actor to give me direction.” Then I realized this guy wasn’t kidding. I’m thinking, “This guy’s […]

Coates has managed to take advantage of Gov. Bob McDonnell’s proposal to honor Confederate History Month by dedicating a series of posts to the true legacy of the Confederacy. I remember a while back when Andrew Sullivan did the “It’s so Personal” posts on abortion, the Atlantic put all of the posts under one link. […]

Oh David Eisenberg, WHY? Kindle is a major talent by everyone’s reckoning, a high-energy pass rusher so gifted he was recently voted this draft’s top 3-4 outside linebacker in a Milwaukee newspaper poll of scouts.
