Thursday playlist: Genius or just a really hard worker?
Nick Denton Andy Borowitz David Guetta Merrill Garbus Tara Donovan This is a small list. But what do you think? I’m going with 3 out of 5, geniuses. I’ll post my three picks later. And while we’re at it, any one else not on this list who you kind of wonder about? Please don’t be [...]

Thursday playlist: Loose associations
Last time grandpa fawcett posted here, it was a bunch of gripes. This time it’s a jumble of thoughts and enthusiasms, the ramblings of early dementia: 1.) This song “A Real Hero” by College (feat.

It makes me sick that lofty principals of limited government trump the equally lofty principals of economic fairness. America is so weird. 3.) [...]

Thursday playlist: Heaven Bound
For the first eight years of life, I listened to classical music to fall asleep. Handle, Beethoven, Strauss – this kind of stuff. It was Tchaikovsky, though, that would really get me worked up and tired out before bedtime. During the finale of the “1812 Overture” I would run full-force at the couch, make a [...]
