Rudy Giuliani just criticized Barack Obama and the Democratic Convention for not mentioning the 7-year old tragedy of 9/11.
Sez Mr. Callidryas: Yeah, and why didn’t they talk about Pearl Harbor?!

Moue Mix Tape, Moue Music »
This is our weekly GUEST COLUMN. If you’d like to submit a Mix Tape, email Brandy at mouemagazine@gmail.com with “Mix Tape” in the subject line.
Hi, everyone. Today’s Moue Mixtape comes courtesy of my little brother, Eli (as you may have guessed from the title). He’s a fellow political nerd, and a man of excellent and eclectic music tastes. We spent a lot of time listening to music together, and he was probably the only kid in his middle school with an extensive understanding of the ska and punk movements. I …

Sen. Joe Liebermann spoke at the Republican Convention last night. I really, really hope the Democrats finally kick him out of their caucus in November.

Fluff Stuff, Late Night Work Break »
Little Shop of Horrors was among my favorite movies when I was younger. It still is today. It’s also one of my dad’s-he’ll often break into a song from this film for no apparent reason. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to watch it much because my little sister, one of those sensitive types, apparently thought that a plant with giant fangs that could talk and move and killed people was scary or something. I thought it was hilarious. Although I do credit this movie with my ongoing fear of dentists.
