"Sometimes I feel like I love everyone more than they love me. Hate that feeling. ... Maybe it's not that they love you less. They just love you the most they are capable of loving."
-- Miley Cyrus
Maybe you should change back from that space-alien hairdo that has colonized your head.

Monica Lewinsky
Sep. 17th, 2012 06:00 pmIs this another example of Clinton-era nostalgia?
Monica Lewinsky is supposedly shopping around a “top secret” book. It’s so top secret, that she made all the publishers she met with sign confidentiality agreements, The New York Post reports.
-- Kara Bloomgarden-Smoke
Did not the Starr Report pretty much lay out everything that she could say? Maybe Bill Clinton's big moment at the Democratic National Convention has tempted her to think that she has another fifteen minutes to give, one more table dance for history. If so, just remember to show us your thong!

On the Road
Sep. 17th, 2012 09:00 pmThere has been a lot of Jack Kerouac buzzing around the Internet lately, and my own appetite has been whetted to give "On the Road" a go, though it's not on the top of my 'wanna read' stack.
_ _ _
The former girlfriend of the leading novelist of the beat generation Jack Kerouac has revealed details of their affair and his descent into bizarre behaviour on finding fame, in a new book to be published more than 40 years after his death.
Joyce Johnson, an accomplished author, also dispels the myth that Kerouac's writing was effortlessly spontaneous. Where he claimed his novel On the Road was written in a blast of energy during three weeks in 1951 she recalls that he spent years revising his work and carefully crafted each paragraph.
Her book is just part of a revival of the cult that surrounded Kerouac which has this year prompted three feature films and a documentary, as well as books and an exhibition at the British Library.
[...]
Johnson's book, "The Voice Is All: The Lonely Victory of Jack Kerouac", to be published this month, explores how the "spontaneous" writing of On the Road was actually "a much longer process … each paragraph had to be a 'poem'."

Romney in Big Trouble
Sep. 17th, 2012 10:30 pmSomebody surreptitiously taped Mitt Romney speaking freely at a private fundraiser. Mitt let his hair down and shared his innermost views on the country and the people, about how too many of us have grown dependent and stupid under the overprotective hand of Uncle Sam and liberal governance.
_ _ _
"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax. ... [My] job is is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
-- Mitt Romney
_ _ _
The way he sees is, a good Republican like himself has to play for the five, ten percent who are truly independent. This doesn't explain why Republicans have been as dominant in American politics and presidential elections as they have been since the 1970s. More than anything, it sounds like a loser who is spitefully licking his wounds and is making himself comfortable with the prospect of just being another also-ran in the great sweep of American history. Which would be silly. The man has hundreds of millions of dollars behind his campaign, and a good chunk of the electorate think that Obama is a muslim terrorist, and then there is this flatlining economy. Ronald Reagan would be running a lot stronger instead of sounding like - dare I say it? - a victim.
