Yacht Rock (Dec 22 2006 23:42 GMT) - A friend of mine pointed me to some really hilarious stuff on YouTube called "Yacht Rock." It's a serious of five-minute episodes showing a fictitious behind-the-scenes look at the "smooth music" |

GOP Graft Costs American Consumers (Dec 22 2006 23:42 GMT) - One of the most often heard retorts to criticisms of the oil and pharmaceutical industries made by progressives is that they will oppose these companies no matter what, that they are maligning them in a knee-jerk way, that they are opposed to American companies making a profit. These retorts also often embedded with the notion that for all of the attacks, these companies are providing necessities for today's society: in the case of pharmaceuticals, new drugs that can help save countless lives; in the case of oil companies, the energy needed to make our world run. There may be some truth in these arguments. |

Meter Madness (Dec 22 2006 23:40 GMT) - Here's a tip you can share with visiting family this week: Parking at broken meters is a risky move. You can be ticketed for it, as crazy as that sounds. The only way you can guarantee that you won't get a ticket is if the meter says "failed." Other, it's just best not to risk it,... |

Have a Heart (Surgeon) (Dec 22 2006 23:40 GMT) - During the holidays, things like news and clocks and airport lines slow to a deadening crawl. Apparently, so too does the world of science: Today comes news that McSurgeons are sexier than regular doctors, George. They're, like, sexy. The study pool: |

Lindsay Boozes? Hillary Snoozes! (Dec 22 2006 23:40 GMT) - Lindsay Lohan was spotted sipping drinks from the bar (third item in "Surveillance" section) at Cinespace on Tuesday. No surprise there.

Quote of the Day: Two Lives to Live (Dec 22 2006 23:40 GMT) - "[Los Angeles] is pretty and ugly at the same time. It gives us a place to be creative, to live out our dreams; it can also be a place of heartbreak, a place of a lot of pain and confusion." Ice Cube on CNN's "The Scene" |

Avoid the Nosebleeds: And the Beat Goes On (Dec 22 2006 23:40 GMT) - Much like the United States Postal Service, neither wind nor impending holiday weekends will keep Avoid the Nosebleeds away. N.B. Since it is a holiday weekend, some good concert tickets have already gone on sale due to the fact a majority of the population will be spending the weekend in line at the mall, in an airplane or basting turkey in the kitchen. But don't fret, tickets are still available |

The Almanac: Box Office Returns (Dec 22 2006 23:40 GMT) - The premiere of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs on December 21, 1937 was a huge deal. Most people had derided it as "Disney's folly," but it became one of the top-grossing movies of all time, animated or otherwise. When adjusted for inflation, it's the 10th-highest grossing film in the US. Back then three years were needed... |

Romance Science Fiction, part 1 (Dec 22 2006 23:40 GMT) - I've never been a romance reader. It wasn't a conscious decision not to read them - I just never had reason to believe the genre might appeal to me, and no one ever particularly recommended a book or an author for me to read from it. Of course I've read plenty of books with romantic elements - they're pervasive, they're human - but not books self-consciously packaged as romance.And then sometime in the late spring I had run low on books to read while travelling and was looking around a Toronto airport bookstore for something fluffy to distract me from the dull stresses of flying. I default to science fiction and fantasy, and so that's where I looked, and that's how I happened to buy and read Linnea Sinclair's The Accidental Goddess. |
