Something Tells Me They Don’t Quite Get It
I’m really, really looking forward to seeing Kung Fu Hustle. View the trailer, then come on back. I’ll wait. Back? Good. Now, given what you just saw, how would you describe movie critics who described the movie thusly: “With its…
Sophisticated Political Discourse
I’m no psychologist, but in my experience, the best way to win an argument is to avoid making vulgar statements about the other side. “F*** the small businessman” isn’t exactly a great rallying cry and is likely to turn off…

“We’re Goan Wireless Now, Dontcha Know?”
It looks like Minneapolis is looking to “copy” Philadelphia and provide wireless access to the entire city. Well, except that my real hometown is doing it right and my less-than-willingly-adopted hometown is forcing its residents to pay for the priviledge.…
