I ranted back at the beginning of last football season about the NCAA’s changes to the clock rules, encouraging readers to go fill out the petition. It looks like it’s all paid off. Last week the NCAA officially announced changes reverting the clock rules back to the 2005 standards. How neat is that?  
Looks like […]

Debated whether or not I would post this (because I’m not sure I want this site to have much to do about my writing, though I’m considering changing that), but perhaps it suffices for the lack of content as of, well, forever. I’ll try to squeeze some more reviews into my schedule, since I have […]

Supernatural Love: Poems 1976-1992 is a collection of poems, or rather a collection of three previous books: Portraits and Elegies, The Lamplit Answer, and A Gilded Lapse of Time.  
If you already like Gjertrud but don’t own any of her books, this is probably a good place for you to start. I had been to […]

I’m probably going to post a few reviews of books I’ve been reading lately, perhaps of more things, but I figure there’s some relevant ground to cover before I bother reviewing anything… a sort ofinagural post summarizing my philosophy of reviewing. 
It’s all too common a situation where I’m trying to determine whether or not I […]

to have a blogdentity crisis?   
I stopped updating a few months ago for a number of reasons. Mostly the time I was spending between school and the Kinky Friedman campaign, but also because I didn’t have anything to talk about BUT the Kinky Friedman campaign, and we’d been asked not to compete with the official […]

Here’s a good information resource for anyone wanting to hear more about Kinky Friedman, why you might vote for him, and his positions on multiple issues (as well as links to various interviews and other good information.)

Kinky Friedman on Texas Issues @ the Burnt Orange Report.

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 […]

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.
 
Still, I imagine this is only scratching the surface, even in Texas. Planning to look […]

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 […]

So maybe you’re watching the campaign and you read an article about Kinky Friedman, or see an interview–and you hear him railing on money disappearing into the pockets and projects of the legislature. But, do we really know what’s going on there? Sure, that’s a heavy accusation–”let’s support the guy who’s going to end that […]
