A Tribue To Our Namesake
"The Wire ended at just the right time: too soon"
The New York Times: So Many Characters, Yet So Little Resolution
"To survive, these young men had to lose what made them human. And that’s what was heartbreaking. Thanks to the show’s incisive writing and the brilliant work of the young actors who played Dukie, Randy and Michael, we knew what they were like when they were human, when they were just kids."
Chicago Tribune: 'The Wire' comes full circle in its gripping finale
"Yes, personal salvation is possible, barely — But as for the world? Forget it, it's beyond repair."

Dog & Goat: Best Friends Forever
From The Daily Mail: A paternal dog has adopted an abandoned baby goat as his surrogate child.

Gone, Gone, Gone
Latest musical obsession: Robert Plant & Alison Krauss.
"Perhaps only the fantasy duo of King Kong and Bambi could be a more bizarre pairing than Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Yet on Raising Sand, their haunting and brilliant collaboration, the Led Zeppelin screamer and Nashville's most hypnotic song whisperer seem made for each other."
Take a listen.

Mr. Sandwich Bread Bird
Recently, while dipping his bread in to a bowl of soup, Glenn was shocked and awed by the vision of our national emblem staring him in the eyes, smiling smugly. . .
And so he did what any man in his right mind would . . . he took a camera phone picture, briefly considered selling him on E-Bay, and then gobbled him up.

Arianna Huffington: The 2008 Race for President and the Search for Our Better Selves
"Watching Sunday's Obama rally in Los Angeles, I was struck by a point both Michelle Obama and Maria Shriver made but that is rarely discussed during a presidential campaign: the importance of having someone in the Oval Office who can stir people to expect more of themselves than they otherwise would. It reminded me of a series of interviews I'd done years ago about what Americans are looking for in a president. The consensus opinion of the experts I talked to was that in the end our search for a great president is also a search for our better selves. It leaves us with a political litmus test that actually matters: Which presidential candidate can lead us to do more good than we think we're capable of?"

Lookalikes
I made this discovery earlier today. One is a degenerate father of a troubled pop star, the other, a former fatty running for president. They both trouble me deeply.
