The number of people who somehow still, in this day and age, seem to fully believe that they are immune to propaganda, marketing, or other psychological influence and will never ever be duped or otherwise convinced to believe or maybe even Do a silly thing is honestly just astounding to me.

Rahm Emanuel, who has about a good a chance of being president as I do, has been profiled like 9 times in the last couple months in major newspapers. It really shows you how profoundly out of touch the people are that drive much of our national political discourse.

For what it’s worth WBHM is a local institution with great journalists. Because they’re licensed through the University of Alabama at Birmingham they’re all state employees, and there’s a state law that requires state employees to use “Gulf of America.” It’s still bad! But it’s also complicated.

Marin People, my Devo tribute and a Smiths tribute are playing at Peri's in Fairfax this Saturday. Imagine how nice it'll be to hear Smiths songs without having to deal with Morrissey, who would likely cancel anyway. peristavern.com/music-calend...
A group of musicians on a stage all wearing red jumpsuits and playing instruments. They are a Devo tribute called Suburban Robots. Yeah, I know the name is a deep cut. I don't care.
