- Amusingly cantankerous interview with the guys from Steely Dan. The older I get, the more I like Steely Dan. Why is that? (H/T Sax von Stroheim)
- Smart and hilarious deconstruction of the ethnic subtext of “The Graduate” by Steve Sailer.
- It often seems to me as though Lincoln is the principle religious figure of the post-Christian America. Provided I’m onto something there, is this the equivalent of seeing Jesus on a Tostito?
- I can’t decide if this is the future of movies or the end of movies. (H/T Blowhard, Esq.)
- Do Americans have an unhealthy Putin fetish? Personally, I love him almost as much as Berlusconi. But, then, I regard politics as an adjunct of pro wrestling: I’m only in it for the wild characters.

“It often seems to me as though Lincoln is the principle religious figure of the post-Christian America.”
True, and quite suited to the most demonic President ever.

You mean Steely Dan isn’t the name of a singer, but a band? Oops!

I would gladly trade Obama for Putin. I’ll even throw in all the vodka he can drink if he would take the job.
