Come, allow me to explain the current cultural divide in this country in less than 60 words: up until I came across this article I was wasting my time trying to find ordering information.
It’s… pretty bad, yeah.
How bad?
#1 on the list is The String Quartet Tribute to Limp Bizkit.
This is the one. This is the album that should really just signal the end of music. Someone with a real background in music had to arrange these songs. A classically trained cellist had to read sheet music titled “N 2 Gether Now.” At one point in rehearsals, a real-live conductor probably had to say “Okay, gang, let’s take it from ‘Now I know y’all be lovin’ this shit right here.'” Where does music go from here? Where do any of us go from here? How can anyone go on in life knowing that this album exists? Anyone? Hello?!
And #2 IS NOT A JOKE.
…who has an opinion on layout and whatnot? For example, I know that recent comments would be helpful, but it takes up space. So would, and so does, monthly archives.
…are actually useful. Lukewarm touch? Molten lava. Ultra short range teleportation? That’d get you through a window without opening/breaking it, no problem at all. Complementary Chameleon? Air Search and Rescue will hire you on the spot.
Superuseless Superpowers is a pretty cool site. I look forward to seeing more of these.
Update: Professor Caleb from comments is disputing my argument on the teleportation thing, and he’s even got a diagram, so it must be Science!;
I personally think that the entire thing can be explained away mathematically if you assume that the thing being teleported is defined as being one-dimensional. Yes, yes, yes: “assume the cow is a sphere.” Clearly I need to read Fear of Physics.

…out there; and this is how they perceive the second Star Wars
Oh, well: as Allahpundit of Hot Air notes, it’s still a vast improvement over Phantom Menace

I have to listen to this Schoolhouse Rock
I’m not sure why.
Via denverpost.com, a test of one news team’s mettle:
Putting those two stories back to back was exceptionally cruel, and very funny. But Ron Zappolo was still up for the challenge…

Discussion’s going on right now over at RedState about “How do you folks train/learn?” It’s a good discussion to have, but are you one of those people quietly thinking to him or herself, “Yeah. I should read all that stuff, but…”
Yeah. But.
It’s OK to find it daunting to just jump into the equivalent of 300-level college courses in history, philosophy, economics, and/or political science – although you should read at least some of that stuff, and in some cases, so should I – so if you’re looking for something that will let you gear up a little first, hey, we can do that. Because you know where all those literary-type people who can’t abide the postmodernists and deconstructionalists and Just Plain Idiots in academia go?
Genre fiction. Continue reading Looking for something to read? – A maybe new feature.
I’ve run into a couple of people who have never actually seen The Prisoner
It is interesting to note that, in an era and culture where divorce is exceptionally easy and accepted, both Patrick McGoohan and Ricardo Montalban married once, and for life (over 50 and 60 years, respectively). Nice to see that this still happens, even in Hollywood.
