Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr. is an Errol Morris film about a man who bumbles his way into becoming an execution technician and then similarly bumbles his way out.

An article on commuting from the New Yorker by way of Kottke. The several hour commute is becoming less and less uncommon in America. I estimated that I save about $3,000 a year in gas alone by not driving an hour to work anymore.

This weekend I got Bust A Move Bash for my Wii. It’s even better than the last version of Bust A Move. It supports up to 8 players, and in the new game play mode you all play on the same board. Sadly, however, it appears Pukadon doesn’t make an appearance in this version, unless I haven’t gotten far enough to unlock him yet. The game play is definitely enhanced with the Wii controls.

Irresponsible journalism at it’s finest. Reporter claims feminists still think Duke lacrosse players are guilty because one woman in the “St. Louis Regional Sexual Assault Center, (based in a YWCA building in Saint Louis)” says so. Clearly she must be an authority on Duke? Wow, I never knew some lady in St. Louis was speaking for all of us, and I obviously must share her asinine opinions. They should change this asshat’s title to Senior Policy Analyst for the Anti-Woman Propaganda Network.

Larry Kramer, founder of ACT UP is fed up. From the LA Times:

Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama tried to duck the questions that Pace’s bigotry raised, confirming what gay people know: that there is not one candidate running for public office anywhere who dares to come right out, unequivocally, and say decent, supportive things about us.

…Taxation without representation is what led to the Revolutionary War. Gay people have paid all the taxes you have. But you have equality, and we don’t.

Mental floss has a primer on the lolrus and other image macros.

iwantyourskull issue 2 is now available, limited to 250. Issue also includes first three prints in the glow in the dark series. This is worth it for Von Glitschka’s work alone.

30 Rock goes to Cleveland and gives a shout out to Lakewood. “In Cleveland, I’m a model!” This is by far one of the smartest shows on television right now, and definitely one of my favorites.

In Ohio we never get shows like a Jesus and Mary Chain reunion. The best we can hope for is a regurgitated Guided by Voices mash up.

Andy Rutledge gets a face lift
, readability is greatly improved. Nice work.

Finally, someone with more than 3 brain cells wins The Apprentice. I’d also like to note she did so without being catty, strategizing, stabbing teammates in the back, or interrupting anyone. Are we seeing a return to professionalism and old fashioned hard work?

    My article about feminists pretending that the duke players are still somehow guilty is absolutetly corect. See the NOW website, which takes the same position as the radical feminist I debated in the television interview.

    Time to wake up and smell your bacon burning…..

    First of all, you didn’t mention NOW in your article, you mentioned this woman in St. Louis. Secondly, NOW is a passive aggressive, homophobic and revisionist organization, and their views beyond abortion and workplace equality don’t generally align with radical feminists.

    However, this NOW article doesn’t even insinuate the players are guilty but instead critiques the treatment of victims of rape, racist and sexist stereotypes, and sickening entertainment value our media places on rape.

    Your article generalizes all feminists as knee jerk reactionists, and that is the problem I have.
