Mohawk Monoblogue : Misc, Personal
abathur | Sun 08/27/06

When I finished up my newswriting class this summer, after a month and a half of dressing up nice and looking presentable for interviews, I decided I wanted to get a mohawk when I was through (I’m so hardcore, right?)
 
Originally, I was just planning to have the mohawk for a month–just to have some fun […]


Perry, financing, favors : Misc, Rants, Political, Kinky Friedman
abathur | Fri 08/18/06

Just in case you’re wondering what exactly goes on behind the accusations of political favoritism and the cynical postulation that everything is for sale, The Dallas Morning News put out an article today that elucidates some of what goes on here.

abathur | Mon 08/14/06

So, for ages and ages (a few months) all I’ve done is bitch about The Mars Volta and question the sanity of anyone who can listen to them (which is really just to say that, three or four times, I’ve teased someone I know who listens to them.) Still, I listened to Viscera Eyes (off […]

Mike Leach Profile : Misc, Lubbock, Texas Tech
abathur | Sun 08/13/06

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram has a wonderful profile of Coach Leach in today’s issue.
 
As much fun as it is to get caught up in the talk of statistics and training and positions and first games at this time of year, it’s always nice to get a little more insight into the mind that is Mike […]


Kinky Friedman Interview : Misc, Political, Kinky Friedman
abathur | Sat 08/12/06

Found a video interview with Kinky from WOAI out of San Antonio. If you don’t know where Kinky stands on issues–and certainly if you’ve never seen him speak in person, you should watch it.
 
The reporter is hard to hear and it looks like it’s of online-only production quality (camera bobbles around–looks like an online […]
