Art Teacher Looses Job Over Nude Sculpture
This article is just horrible. I realize that they are in Texas but it just goes to show how backwards parts of America really are. This is the kind of story that you would think would happen in Iran or another fundamentalist country (though probably leading to a...

James Carville Interview about “All the Kings Men”
The interview with Entertainment Weekly James Carville, who successfully ran the 1992 Clinton campaign for president is executive producer of "All the Kings Men". I have always liked his style and here he says some great things about politics and filmmaking. "EW: Is...
Hipster Vs. Scenester Showdown
Ever since my sister brought up that she had never heard anyone use the word "hipster" before (saying that she had heard of "scenesters") I've been curious about the distinction between hipster and scenester and what they mean in our modern vocabulary. My recent move...
Huey Long
Huey Long seems like a really interesting fellow. I'm close to adding him to my hero list.. step aside Batman. He is essentially the basis for the book "All the King's Men".. which has recently been adapted into a movie.
