Yup. Wasn't that Iraq War I? Before (or at the inception of) 24 hour "news" coverage (when there was actually news being covered)?

I've seen quite a few. They all seem to be being done by these old fat guys in white shirts, and they're shooting mace. And for some reason the uniformed cops just ignore them, so they might as well be in Chelsea.

Yeah, why is there no sitcom about this, tentatively called "Faux News: Behind the Scenes"?

I initially read this as "whiner of the Iowa Straw Poll" and thought: how appropriate.

Well, it wasn't (technically) a sitcom, but didn't Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi (1983) do that?

Is KY anything like Ben-Gay? 'Cause I'm thinkin' that Ben-Gay must be for gays, right, or it wouldn't have "Gay" or even "Ben" in the name ("Ben" is such a gay name, after all); but then, KY sounds kinda code for "gay-y" also. So I'm totally confused.

Do you have any idea how many Reps routinely skip votes and how few votes are taken with ALL the reps present? Neither do I.

One of the greatest (and hawtest) covers ever: Sophie B. Hawkins doing "I Want You" at the 30th Anniversary Tribute Concert. http://bit.ly/3IwTIR (With an as-yet-virtually-unknown and uncredited Sheryl Crow singing backup.)

I first saw Bob on the Before The Flood comeback tour in '74 with The Band in Seattle; last saw him last summer in Austin. About 20 times in between, including an unannounced solo appearance in Eugene while he was on the tour with Paul Simon. With the Dead, with Petty, with Van, with Joni. Every time was different, every time was unique; some were better than others, but every one was worth it. SorosBot--you absolutely hit it with Workingman's Blues as a demonstration of his continuing abilities to write great songs. Others--if you don't think he can sing, you haven't listened with your heart, or ever heard him do Blind Willie McTell. I could go on, but what's the point--either you get it or you don't--which just means you haven't heard enough. Happy Birthday, Bob--I hope I get to see you 20 more times. (And thanks to you, Ken, for the straight-up great post.)

"Mission Accomplished." "I'll respect you in the morning." (Oh, that one's a bit out of date, huh.) "We'll put our best people on it." "That's never happened to me before."
