cruising salon
I seem to be getting a bounty of emails about this wonderful Garrison Keillor article on Salon about Norm Colman’s vapidness. As salon mentions, it’s “premium content” but it’s worth the price. In the article, Keillor calls Minnesota voters decision to go the Norm “one of those dumb low-rent mistakes”. I love the sentiment and the line. Especially, “low-rent”. What a stinging depression driven heart punch. Low-rent….hmmm…perfect. It reminded me of a similar, sometimes political writer, Hunter S. Thompson, when he wrote, “Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ’76: Third Rate Romance, Low Rent Rendevous.” for Rolling Stone back in 1976.

Also, poking around Salon this morning, a fine article about Moby attempting to get people to boycott Butterball turkeys this holiday season. Which means Moby is probably talking about it on his own site…lets see here…ok, go here, and click on Moby journal, then “Rotterdamn – Humane”.
