Donald Douglas at American Power blogs about Gov. Palin's background as described in her new book, Going Rogue: An American Life": With Palin we have our modern-day political scribe of the frontier existence, the...

The Ugly Truth

Classy Chaos (Free subscription) | 20/11/2009

On our second date we went jogging. The day before, I frantically invaded my roommate's closet to research what avid runners wore. I wasn't a runner but willingly accepted the challenge because how hard was it to run a couple of blocks and, oh my gosh , he was so cute. The plan was to run from my apartment building down to Lake Michigan for a total of two miles. Only, I begged for a water break outside...

Pulling Off a First Draft

Dragoncave (Free subscription) | 19/11/2009

What is a first draft? I'm not sure it's what writers often think it is. I am sure, on the other hand, that the conventional wisdom about first drafts is often misleading. The question was once asked, by a poet on one of those online poetry workshop boards: Do any of us present first drafts here? and why? and even how, with the miracle of the machines almost doing the work for us? It's hard not to...

Huntsville Tent City Doing Something Right

Stone Soup Station (Free subscription) | 17/11/2009

While down in Huntsville Alabama working on their 3rd annual Operation Stand Down, I did some outreach at a local homeless camp and was really impressed with the way in which the community had set this up. Simplistic, easily implemented, doable just about anywhere, and controlled very well, Huntsville's approach is one we ought to really consider here in Nashville.

Matthius Hoegg "August" & Sarah Van Den Boom "The Skeleton Woman" (2009 - trailers)

Animation Blog (Free subscription) | 16/11/2009

Two trailers today, both of which I have seen in their full form on DVD. August is the work of Royal College of Art student Matthius Hoegg . During the hot, long days of August a group of young people set up camp in a rather well regulated campsite. Well it is until they arrive. The film presents two perspectives. One is that of the ants, following their routines, scavenging between the discarded beer...

Spare us Mr Sergeant's saccharine Britain | Tristram Hunt

The Guardian (Free subscription) | 15/11/2009

Enough of this nostalgic navel-gazing – we need to reimagine our place in the world Union flags, wellington boots, cream teas and ex-Oxbridge revue presenters. Last week, BBC1 and ITV1 served up two remarkably similar, primetime portraits of Britain – and it was a struggle to work out which was more disheartening. As the recession bites, television has already retreated to a mediocre comfort...
