Dub is a weapon

I don't like dub and dubstep.

However, after seeing Dub is a weapon at Red Square on Friday, I may have to reconsider that sentiment.

But I Like Franzen more than Obama

Winding down his remarks at George Washington University, he pulled off a neat rhetorical trick. Obama upended the idea that liberty comes from self-­reliance, making the case that liberty is not constrained by community but a by-product of it. "We believe that in order to preserve our own freedoms and pursue our own happiness," he said, "we can't just think about ourselves." It's an argument that (at least to these ears) has an echo of another liberal hero: Jonathan Franzen.

The Contest - Update #2

Okay, so you have read about the contest.

The other day, JMFJT offered a suggestion and I am asking you if you think that I should choose option B.

Option B: I take my mom out to dinner, just because.

If you think that I should take my mother, just comment "Mom" either here or on AFM on Facebook.

Day 21 – A song that you listen to when you’re happy

Another easy one.

If for nothing but the "How ya doing?" at the beginning of the song.

Dinosaur Jr' Greenmind.



Apparently it is a song about choosing between "herb" and one's partner. Luckily for me, not smoking makes the choice easy.
