There in Spirit

Tiga's album launch is this evening in London, and I will be celebrating officially from somewhere in the American midwest.

So wherever you find yourself this evening be sure to enjoy these Tiga tracks new and old:

Tribulations (Tiga Remix) - LCD Soundsystem

Bush Bashing

Apparently the lords of late night television are still clinging to the administration which made their jobs just a little bit easier:

Well, recently, that evil Hugo Chavez from Venezuela slipped President Obama a book that is printed in Spanish. But President Obama does not read or speak Spanish. It would be like handing George W. Bush any book. - David Letterman

Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will appear together on stage in Toronto for a two-hour, friendly debate. Each side gets to pick a topic, so the first hour will be centered on the international banking crisis. The second hour will be dedicated to NASCAR trivia. -Jimmy Fallon

Earlier this week, there was a reunion of Bush Administration officials in Dallas, Texas. Because there is one team you want to put back together, am I right? You bet, buddy! - David Letterman

Americana: Not Everyone Deserves Paris

A tale from the blogosphere that is more cringe worthy than amusing:

When I lived in Paris, my sister and her husband came to visit. They were going to Deauville the next day and wanted to buy stuff for a picnic lunch.

I sent them to the still-open markets at Les Halles (this was the early ’80s). They came back empty-handed. “Disgusting,” they announced.

I sent them to the supermarché. “So much better,” they declared. “Everything was wrapped in plastic!”
