Holy Shit the Patti Smith Show at the Neptune Was Amazing.
What an apt description: Easter's ever-problematic "Rock N' Roll Nigger." I love that song. It has also come up on a list of songs you would like your band to cover, but don't think you could do it.
I wish I was out west so I could have seen her!

SL Letter of the Day: The College Try.
My GF called me from a bar one night and started telling me about the cute barmaid she was developing a crush on. I told her she had my permission, without a second of delay. It didn't work out (yet), but I hope it does. If I am not allowed to stray, she still has my permission.

What Is The Internship Trailer Worse Than?.
They filmed that here in Atlanta- the GT campus became Google's campus. My GF consulted on the movie, and is even in the ping pong game scene. She made the trailer! She is easy to identify. She is the asian girl!

"Sociopath on a Bicycle": Bill Burr on Lance Armstrong.
I hate it when people say, "Look at all the money he raised for cancer research!" He didn't. He raised money for cancer awareness. While a very small amount of money in the early years went to research, none went to research in the later years. It was for awareness, raising more money, flying Lance around on private planes, and raising even more money.

Watch Jon Stewart Grill Al Gore on Fossil-Fuel Hypocrisy.
It was one thing for Stewart to ask that question, and he got an answer. To keep harping on was a bit juvenile. Stewart, as much as I love him, sometimes gets some thought stuck in his brain and just cannot accept an answer he doesn't agree with. Sadly, as a poster mentioned above, that never happens with conservatives. With them he usually just lofts a few softballs, yucks it up, and becomes buddies with them. Can't he just pretend that some of the conservatives coming on his show these days are Tucker Carlson?
I have tickets to see Gore in Atlanta. I can't wait.

SL Letter of the Day: Skin-to-Skin Contact.
Always make a quick coffee meet as soon as possible! Only plan to be there for 20 minutes. IF they won't meet, let it go. If they are from out of state- why the hell are you thinking about dating somebody from out of state?

Morning News: HORSE, Orcas, Academy Awards.
@11 Yes, but the magnitude is nowhere near the wear and tear of environmental causes, completely unlike how wear and tear occurs on roads, so your analogy fails badly. Not even a good try.

Raise the gas tax. Fuel efficient cars tend to be lighter and cause less wear and tear. Heavy vehicles use more gas and cause more wear and tear. Gas tax is reasonably fair. You could figure out a fee for electric cars to match similar fuel efficient cars, but they are really light and cause very little wear and tear. Adjust everything for construction costs- those are frequently paid by general funds, so the adjustment could be small. Mileage based fees would be regressive. Heavy SUV's should pay more than small compacts.
