Fluff Stuff, Musical Interlude »
My friends and I were drunkenly watching SNL (the only state we ever watch that in) the week that Kings of Leon were the musical guests. But we had missed when they announced the name of the band. Only being vaguely familiar with their music and having no idea what any of them looked like, the only clue was a “KoL” on the drums. We sat there trying to guess what that stood for until my neurons finally clicked “Kings of Leon” into place.
A friend sent me a link to …
Obama Admin, Politics »
It seems like Obama is appointing someone to an office every 30 seconds so we’re a bit behind on covering them as they happen. C’mon, most of them don’t even officially have jobs for another two months. We’ll get to them before then (probably).

Speaking of That…Citigroup is getting a $300 billion guarantee and $20 …
Apparel, Indie Retailers »
TopatoCo., the brainchild of “cyber cartoonist” Jeffrey Rowland (Wigu), is a one stop shop to buy products for many of the best web comics around. This is where to go if you’d like a shirt, poster or book from such comics as A Softer World, Dinosaur Comics, Octopus Pie, WhiteNinja, Wondermark and more. I decided to focus on t shirts, ’cause that’s how i roll.
