Maureen Dowd’s column today is a list of ways that she is just Sarah Palin.

I was beginning to panic. I pored over the book to see if…

Ben Usie tipped me on the best website of all time (if you are a nerdy rap fan).  Click through and check it out.  Apparently I’m really late on this.

This man is a hero among heroes.

By far the best story of the day.

I hope that this pairing sparks a slew of “Which Insider Host Are YOU!?” facebook quizzes.

I, personally, view myself as a Levi Johnston type.

Sir, you are an asshole.

I had some photos published in Brightest Young Things, the premier blog covering the happenings of DC for indie-inclined people aged 21*-31.  The BYT people I met were cool, so I hope to do some stuff with them again soon.

Sent to me by distinguished professor of political science and noted Supreme Court documentary voice over pro Joe Kobylka.  The mental image of him watching this in his office, flattening his scholarly mustache in approval while his perpetually drinking toy bird nods in the background is almost as entertaining as the video itself.

Which is highly entertaining.

“I really want to record/ make music, but I don’t have the stuff! And good stuff is sooo expensive!”

Up until yesterday, I would be inclined to agree with you.  Music stuff is expensive, sometimes prohibitively so.  But this version of Ableton Live, the only music production software I use, that was released yesterday is a mere $99.  Comparatively speaking, that is nothing. With it, you can record audio, remix, play and program the MANY instruments that come with it.

Even for the person just casually entertaining the idea of getting started with making music, I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.  I love it.  You can also try out a full version of Live FREE for 14 days.  Check out the site and email me if you want to know more.

Enlarge this.  Read it very carefully.  Notice something?

Today marks the first day I have had to brush a tear away at my desk.  Truly, truly hysterical.
