Ordinarily I'd recommend this bit by Matt Taibbi on Sarah Palin. Sure, you're Sarah Palined out, but he hits a few points that I haven't seen elsewhere, such as how she is a perfect candidate for the time as she is absolutely issue-neutral and exists solely as an engine to manufacture outrage for the purpose garnering support from an inchoately bitter base. Good stuff! But the better stuff is his follow...

The always-excellent Matt Taibbi is puzzled as to why our press corps enjoys needling ex-Governor Moose Eater even as it spent years kissing Bush’s ass: What the people who are flipping out about the treatment of Palin should be asking themselves is what it means when it’s not just jerks like us but everybody piling on [...]

I hate to post two Taibbi columns in one day, but Jesus is this brilliant. Just a dead-on assessment from his new piece over at True/Slant: "What the people who are flipping out about the treatment of Palin should be asking themselves is what it means when it’s not just jerks like us but everybody piling on against Palin. For those of you who can’t connect the dots, I’ll tell...

So, all you need for a performance to be judged as good is that “everyone’s talking about it the next day”? Well, maybe Ozzy Osborne should appear and bite the head of a bat again? Or maybe the Dixie Chicks should strip down to bikinis and bathe in a wading pool on stage? Heck, people would talk about that! Maybe Loretta Lynn should shave her head bald on stage. People would be talking...

Lately I’ve been hung up on a Patty Griffin song. She’s a songwriter whose waters I have wandered into deeply with a few specific songs, but I know she has so much more out there than what I have experienced. My first introduction to this Maine musician was her song “Top of the World,” covered [...]

A few weeks ago, idling left a copy of a Dixie Chicks CD in my letterbox for me. I've been listening to it almost constantly. At first I mostly just loved the song Not Ready To Make Nice. But as the album has grown on me, I really love the song Long Way Round. Cause that's me, yeah? I didn't follow the path everyone else I grew up with took. And I've been feeling a bit ... lonely? Left out about that?...

Let me echo Karen's sentiments below about Josh Tyrangiel. He is one of the very finest editors I've ever worked for. He's a pure, gut-bucket, instinctively brilliant journalist, who helped enormously with the pieces I wrote here and also in the print edition. He was especially good at helping me to figure out the right [...]
