Friends,
This economic bailout thing is bumming me out. Chrysler should file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, but will most likely just fail instead. Who’ll make parts for my Jeeps? (these guys. chrysler gave up on both of them a long time ago. – ed) GM should file for Chapter 11, but will keep their management and fail in a few months instead (haven’t they failed already? they’re insolvent , after all… – ed).
I can use a little relief. Naturally, I turned to You Look Nice Today. The latest episode features John Hodgman and Jonathan Coulton and makes with the funny. I think we all need that, don’t you?
They even name-checked Digital Underground and The Humpty Dance in this episode, so here’s some, um, background.
Oh, I heard this “hateful little song” on the newly completely merged SiriusXM satellite machine today and laughed until I cried.
No, I’m not sending a message. It’s just dark. Is that so wrong?
The next song makes me smile too. It’s on the newish Decemberists EP. I’ll leave it to you to tell the kids who Valerie Plame is.
Good luck with that…
Sigh,
