– Karen Lugo via Victor Davis Hanson’s Private Papers
I post this in response to White House Calls Ahmadinejad Iran’s ‘Elected Leader’
Hanson, by the way, may be one of the smartest people in the world.

Concerts I've Been To... [Updated]
“OK, here are the rules. Test your memory and your love of live music by listing 50 artists or bands (or as many as you can remember) you’ve seen in concert. List the first 50 acts that come into your head. An act you saw at a festival and opening acts count, but only if you can’t think of 50 other artists. Oh, and list the first concert you ever saw (you can remember that, can’t you)?...

GPICT - SatComms for Soldiers →
Late on last week’s GPICT, but I had a good one, so never too late.
It is #MilitaryMon, after all…

Punisher: War Zone
Wristcutters: A Love Story
Rachel Getting Married
Horton Hears a Who!

URGENT: Please support Michael Yon, independent... →
Pleae reblog, forward, tweet, etc. Thank you, in advance.

Mother. Fucking. Ticketmaster.
So, I totally had tickets to the final Nine Inch Nails show in NYC —- perhaps ever —- in my ‘cart’ on Ticketmaster’s site, only to have it crap out on me when I went to checkout during the pre-sale this evening.

You better fucking REDEEM on the public on-sale date…

Chubby Lower Legs, Latest Styles Don’t Mix As Women Wage Costly Fight Against ‘Cankles’
There are pictures, and a video, and an informative chart of historical unflattering terms to describe parts of the body.
