I didn't know Taibbi had a book out. I'll have to take a look at it.

 

He actually has a couple books out that I know of: Spanking the Donkey and The Great Derangement. I've read Derangement and found it to be very enjoyable. I think I read somewhere that he's beginning work on a new one as well. He's the closest comparable writer to Hunter Thompson these days.

Do we have anyone here besides me who digs electronica/house/trance? Here's a goodie by Georg Bissen with Victor Dinaire. Makes for great driving music too! :thumbsup:

If you like house you have to listen to "Gone Gone Gone" by the New Deal.

I probably listen to this about once a day just to listen to the NHL 2 Night theme song (Warning: It's British Rap):

I absolutely can't stand the male color commentator for gymnastics. The sound of his voice criticizing every small detail nonstop throughout the competition drives me nuts. Also, I know the Chinese are really good at gymnastics, but how many times does this guy have to compliment them? Considering this is broadcasting in the U.S. I would hope for the red white and blue. I often think of R.J. replacing this dude and saying something productive, how about: "Flo Flo Flo Flo Flo Flo Floor Routine."

 

Also, those Chinese female gymnasts don't look 16 at all.
