Books

• The GenIUs Writes Again

  I had lived and worked and shared veterans' and Fourth of July powwows, though I never figured out the twisted logic that allowed Native Americans to celebrate the Fourth of July.

• Ben Harper, You Say?

  If the proportion of hot women at the concert yesterday is any indication, a musician named Ben Harper deserves your attention. As Ben himself puts it: "If you listen close to what you see, you will hear the call." No matter how much gloom & doom the media throws at you.

Culture

• You can take the Americans out of work but you can't take the work out of the Americans

  the Republicans need to remember the Puritain work ethic that makes us capitalist, them Republican and this proposal ineffective, only adding more stress to citizens in a struggling economy.

Video

• The Kid Stays In The Picture

  So did I enjoy "The Kid Stays In The Picture", the bio-pic of Robert Evans? Absolutely. Would I watch it again? I've already watched about two and half times since I recorded it off the satellite dish. Would I recommend that you see it? If you dig Hollywood history, you bet your *** I would, baby.

• Howard Showered, Records Devoured, Opponents Glowered, Citizens Empowered

  "People-Powered" Howard Dean has raised seven million dollars this quarter. His blog turned into a telethon (blogathon?) yesterday, and reading it is like reading an exciting new page in history. Could it be that the hope a lot of us have that the Internet will truly empower the people is...realistic?
