    Fran Lebowitz On Q With Jian Ghomeshi: Not David Sedaris

    June 20, 2012 - By 

    I spend a lot of time listening to radio via WinAmp over headphones while goofing around on my computer at home. I happened to tune in to WBEZ and caught the last few minutes of an interview between CBC Q’s Jian Ghomeshi and somebody that sounded a lot like a very peevish David Sedaris. However, the conversation was all about the lack of manners shown by Americans in everyday life, and the voice and accent didn’t quite have the languid edginess of Sedaris’. How surprising to find that it was actually Fran Lebowitz speaking. She approves of cigarette smoking, but…

    Well, We Seem To Be Connected Somehow #WaitingForComcast

    June 20, 2012 - By 

    The technical installation has finally concluded, and I now have data and phone in my office (but nothing to connect with, that’s later). The guys who delivered and assembled my desk got here at a little before 10am and they went a little over their time estimate as to how long it would take to assemble desk and chair, but they were done by a little after noon. After the desk guys left, Riley did a tour of inspection. He’ll be quite baffled by the pet gate that I’ll put at the top of the stairway, but at least I’ll…

    My Future Home Office

    June 16, 2012 - By 

    Next week is the "install date" for the furniture and phone/Internet for my work-from-home office. I had originally planned on the desk facing the window, but currently will have it face the wall with window on my right. It’s raining and thundering and lightninging right now and the window looks in the weather direction. I’ll enjoy watching it, as currently in my office building I look towards the other direction and can’t hear the rain on the roof or the thunder. It’s like we’re in a giant house washer right now; not looking forward to "spin dry!" Via: Flickr Title:…

    America The Fee: Rich Conservatives Buying The Election?

    June 16, 2012 - By 

    The more I read about the amount of money being spent and the disingenuous defense of Citizens United, the more I think that primaries and elections and polls won’t matter in the future, only dollars and nonsense. WASHINGTON — Casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, whose net worth makes him one of the worlds richest men, is on a check-writing spree that will soon bring his total political contributions in this election cycle to at least $71 million, according to sources familiar with his spending. That money is spread across the spectrum of GOP super PACs, which are required to disclose donors,…
