This Rita Coolidge Album Cover


I bought this record in a dust bin from an antique store that actually had an old
Radio Flyer
in the back. Two weeks after that, I bought my first electric guitar in the window display from that very same store. Just kidding, I haven't even listened to it.

 BOGUS RUMORS


METH LABS FOUND IN KIRKUK (BR)

Mobile methamphetamine labs have been found buried in the Iraqi desert. “There's no question,” said Gen. John Pendleton of the 101st Airborne Division, “that these are meth labs- the glassware, the Bunsen burners, the rear cabin full of cold & allergy medicine.” While these do not present evidence of the chemical weapons that the U.S. has accused Iraq of having, Pendleton noted that these are usually “gateway labs” and the discovery of ricin factories can’t be far behind.

SWANK-LOWE POSITION ON WAR STILL NOT CLEAR (BR)

Hollywood power-couple Hillary Swank and Chad Lowe (ranked #4 on E!'s Hollywood power-couple list) have not yet made their announcement as to where they stand on the war. Insiders familiar with the duo say they expect something to come out soon, probably with a "pro-troops" flavor. In one recent interview, however, Chad said, "We may wait until the war with Syria before we say anything. It would probably be the same position we have on this war, and as actors, we don't want to repeat ourselves or do the same thing twice."

HALLIBURTON GETS NEW STATUE CONTRACT (BR)

Is was revealed that despite taking no bids, the government contract to replace the statues in Iraq was given to Halliburton. There was no comment from the White House, although it is obvious that this article would have been a whole lot funnier if it was accompanied by a picture of, say, the famous “E” Enron sculpture, but it was digitally morphed into an “I” Iraq sculpture, thus shrewdly combining Photoshop jokes, oil humor, and government conspiracy theories.

Uncle Tupelo

A live performance circa the salad days, these rural-punk moonshiners break open a barrel of Neil Young's hard core cider. So, take ten swigs.

If you like it, buy some from your local mom 'n' pop major appliance and CD retailer.
