I couldn’t agree more with their endorsements:
Obama, the Illinois Democrat, fulfills America’s need for “a president with an intuitive sense of the wider world,” and that McCain, the Arizona Republican, ”has done more than his share to transcend partisanship and promote an honest discussion of the problems facing the United States.”
Why is Generation X typically more creative than the rest? Simple — our childhood was trippy, yours was most likely not:
Of course you’ll never hear anything negative about Lord NFL. But isn’t it curious that Shawne Merriman, for example, is still getting endorsements while Rafael Palmiero is afraid to show his face in public?
If Congress is determined to grandstand on this topic again, will they at least avoid the prevailing double standard and require testimony from the likes of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Players Association chief Gene Upshaw?
Memo to the GOP: Please stop trying to be funny.

If Mike Huckabee is your Secret Santa, don’t be surprised to receive a Jack LaLanne power juicer. Or maybe an asparagus pot (whatever the hell that is).
Huckabee managed to pile up $112,000 in freebies in a single year as governor. …
Wedding gifts are exempt from ethics restrictions in Arkansas, and when Mike left office, the Huckabees — who have been married for more than 30 years — were signed up on the Target wedding registry so fans could help furnish their new 7,000-square-foot home. “Message from the couple: Target GiftCards are welcome,” added the registry helpfully.
Why not the Wal-Mart wedding registry, considering they live in Arkansas, world headquarters of the retail behemoth? Besides, I thought only liberals shopped at Target.

And I claim to be a major Ween fan — “La Cucaracha” was released in October and I’m only now discovering it. Unfortunately, I’m a bit underwhelmed.
I don’t know what to think about “Friends,” a pretty straightforward dance mix, but then again Ween has put their own spin on just about every genre, so why not this one? “Object” and “Shamemaker” are familiar, but that’s okay. “Sweetheart” is my favorite track on the album — nothing spectacular, but a welcome throwback.
As for “Your Party” … I prefer to think of it as a a fitting addition to the band’s Michael McDonald oeuvre (see “Boys Club“). Please, don’t take the smooth jazz hooks seriously.
Bill Clinton was his usual pious, whiny self on “Charlie Rose” Friday night, dismissing Obama while claiming Hillbot is the only “agent for change.” He neglects to mention what change she’s engineered.
At least he didn’t call Obama a crack dealer.
Time to start doling out those year-end awards …
Discovery of the year (two years too late edition): Post-Paint Boy, by Stephen Malkmus. I’ve yet to tire of this song.

Nice try, but the Huckabees have this family beat.
