One Man's Tank is Another Man's Aircraft Carrier | Defence of marriage? | Detox shelved | And who is Ewan Pearson?
Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau is offering $10,000 to anyone who can prove Bush fulfilled his duty at Dannelly Air National Guard base between May 1972 and November 1972. (Houston Chronicle)
Does the US government know something everyone else doesn't? There's been a lot of cocky talk in the last month or so about capturing Bin Laden before year end after two and a half of failing to do just that. I've gotta say, if Bush pulls that one out of his ass any time in the run-up to the election in November, and don't be surprised if he does, I think it'll pretty much be a wrap for any chance of the Dems. recapturing the White House. (Reuters)
But maybe stories like this mean it might not be so cut and dried: Disenchanted Bush Voters Consider Crossing Over. (New York Times)
I missed it, but it doesn't sound like either Edwards or Kerry scored a decisive knockout in the debate last night and, with Kerry way ahead, Edwards probably didn't do well enough to put himself in a more competitive position to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

Defence of marriage? For the real deal exploring the history and sanctity of this so-called "hallowed institution" (hello, Britney, The Bachelorette, Average Joe et al.), read Barbara Kantrowitz's excellent primer "Couples: State of Our Unions" in Newsweek.

All of a sudden I'm hearing about this kid Van Hunt everywhere. Can Capitol do right by him? Will being managed by American Idol judge Randy Walker be a help or hinderance?
I never really believed the old bogeyman argument about the music industry and record labels destroying hip hop until I saw parts of VH1's The Fabulous Life of.... episodes on Lil Kim and Hip Hop Superstars last night. Holy sh!t, that was a total embarassment to watch. I feel sorry for kids coming up today who see that garbage and think that's what hip hop is about.
Speaking of which:
Say it ain't so. Jay Smooth (again!) says Dr. Dre's forthcoming album Detox album has been postponed indefinitely. WTF? Better hold yourself down with his new joint "Smokin Weed 4 Hours" on the "Tha Hot Ish" list (#16) in the sidebar at left and the new Dre-produced artist Conway's single "Nutcracka" from Universal Records (mp3 link courtesy: westcoast2k.net).
Disco-punk mp3 love:
- The Rapture "I Need Yor Love (Ewan Pearson remix)" Now that remix is bananas, this kid is giving the DFA a real run for their money. (mp3 link courtesy: The Raputre official website)

"The first album was fire, but this one is real beautiful because we got more experiences now. Man, you just gotta hear it. You would think we live right next door to Satan, how fire this album is gonna be." -- Young City a.k.a. Chopper of Bad Boy's Da Bandfrom "Da Band, Da Boss Both Part Of Busy Bad Boy Release Schedule" (MTV News). Yeah right. Like I was saying....
