Comic for Friday, April 8th

2.0 thought this was ridiculous, but Sleater-Kinney actually did call a few couples up on stage the first time I saw them. The Pumpkins, also, dragged audience members up to dance during concerts from time to time, usually for 1979, which I never really thought of as a dance track. Moby actually remixed it once, which has always confused me. (Unsurprisingly, I have a favorite off that CD, the Vocal mix.)

God, another week of reruns for the Gilmore Girls! What a drag. And ABC's site says Lost is a rerun next week, too. Which is odd, because they showed scenes from a new episode the other night... Huh.

At least Pedro didn't leave on bad terms or anything. (Actually, that seems to be - and I know this will be shocking - a schlock job by the Post. The Boston Herald presents the thing in a much more rational manner.) (By the way, fascinating article in this week's New Yorker about the Daily News finally showing their fangs and fighting back at the Post's attacks in the wake of a scandal in which the News misprinted some winning scratch-off numbers. I never knew that the Daily News actually has a much higher circulation than the Post. Don't get me wrong, it's still kind of crappy, but it's nowhere as near as slimy as the Post.)(That's right, I'm starting to get around to reading the New Yorker - expect a whole new level of pretension around here.)

Grafe had his fourth column in the Charlotte Observer yesterday, a very good one on the fallacy of state lotteries doing much good.

Wow, Super-Pope.

Staying with religion, McSweeney's rewrote the Creation to involve baseball. I love it.

Geez, advertising on the dollar? How post-post-modern can you get?

Short one for me today, I know, but, meh. Have a good weekend, all.
