"Last week we told you about young Will Phillips, a boy who refuses to pledge allegiance to the flag and the United States of America until gays and lesbians are allowed to marry. While Will is finding support from op-ed columnists and his parents, the kids at school are not as kind. They are harassing Will and calling him a "gaywad." Well, last night Jon Stewart decided to do something about it. After praising this precocious 10-year-old, he decided the boy must be protected so he brought out professional wrestler Mick Foley to delver a message." - Brad Williamson

John Stewart really looks quite a bit like Jimmy Hart there. - Robert Felty

That kid needs his own talk show. - Brad Williamson

I wish we could get wrestlers to protect all kids from bullies. - Eric - Final Countdown

"It seemed like an impossible task, but that didn't stop us from trying. With the first decade of the new millennium coming to a close, we decided to compile a list of the 50 most important recordings of the past 10 years — a list that covers a wide range of styles and genres, with indelible songs and albums that challenge, inspire and captivate. These are the game-changers: records that signaled some sort of shift in the way music is made or sounds, or ones that were especially influential or historically significant." - Brad Williamson

working on my own list... we shall see how compatible these lists are.. :-) - Wildcat

I'm not sure how to feel about Yo-yo Ma sharing the list with Britney Spears. - Gabe

"The 50 recordings that appear here are listed alphabetically." - Iván Abrego

"I have been sharing these slogans with the writers I've worked with over the years in different publishing houses, and for many authors, they have acted as catalysts, breaking through anything from solving a structural conundrum to bringing a long case of writer's block to an end. When we started the books page, I contacted Ginsberg's literary estate to see if we could post the slogans, and happily, the answer was "yes."" - Brad Williamson

"The thing about being super rich is that you eventually run out of things to buy. You can only live in so many houses, or drive so many cars, or pay to have so many enemies killed. Fortunately, before you ever get so desperate as to, say, give money to the poor, there is a whole industry devoted to inventing ridiculous things to waste it on." - Brad Williamson

man, is cracked awesome or what? - Chris Heath

"It's typical for an athletes' appearance to change after they retire from professional sports -- they pack on a few pounds and age like normal people. But there's something stunningly different about Sammy Sosa's post-baseball look. Recent photos snapped of the former Chicago Cubs slugger show a shocking transformation: his skin is turning white -- stark white." - Brad Williamson

"As the New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies this week, the Eagles were crushing the Giants. This unprecedented moment in the New York/Philadelphia rivalry made the folks at the "Daily Show" ask: Which fans are the douchiest? Jason Jones and John Oliver were there as the sports supporters battled it out for the title. Clad in the ugliest suits anyone has ever seen, they ran down the criteria of being a douche: excessive drinking, excessive cursing, gay-bashing opponents, and defiling the icons of opponents." - Brad Williamson

As a Phillies/Eagles fan, I would say the answer is obviously New York. (Seriously though, every city has its own share of assholes among its fan base.) - John (bird whisperer)

I like blogging. I enjoy its informality and instantaneousness—the way it provides me an opportunity to spout off publicly about this or that outrage of the moment. Opining is fun, and so is ideological combat. But a book is, or should be, something different: A chance to slow down. An opportunity to raise one’s sights a little higher. To stop focusing so incessantly on the moment and strive, instead, to step back a bit, to take in a wider view, perhaps even to rise above the fray. To reflect instead of react. To ruminate instead of respond. - Brad Williamson

Interesting article... I didnt have the time to read it fully but it looks like interesting reading.. - TrafficBug

"Most importantly, as the great digital revolution rolls on, bands are no longer having to compete for people's money. Instead, they're jockeying for our time. And the field is huge, crossing not just genres, but eras. Who do you want to investigate today: TV On The Radio or Crosby, Stills and Nash? Do you fancy losing yourself in the brilliant first album by Florence And The Machine, or deriving no end of entertainment from how awful The Rolling Stones got in the 1980s? Little Richard or La Roux? White Lies or Black Sabbath? As one of my music press colleagues use to say, there's no longer any past - just an endless present." - Brad Williamson

On the Internet everything is everywhere all the time. Cosmic consciousness given physical structure, made physically manifest as a global machine. - Sean McBride

"What would life be like under the "Internet Freedom Act?" Well, one Reddit user created an image that depicts the "worst case scenario." John Biggs at crunchgear says, "this sort of bundling is a favorite pastime of most stream providers. For years voicemail was a privilege, not a right, and there are still grannies out there renting phones from the phone company. While month-to-month the costs might not seem like much, this sort of thing adds up to delicious profit." Over at Gizmodo, John Herman adds:" - Brad Williamson

is that article really claiming John McCain invented the Blackberry? - alphaxion
