Deadstring Brothers – Sacred Heart

From the album “Starving Winter Report”. They have kind of a Whiskeytown/Stones sound. Entire CD is great.

John Edwards To End All Bad Things

John Edwards says he has a plan to end all bad things from American life by his second year in office.  From the Onion: 

According to Edwards, his plan is composed of three steps. Everyday bad things, such as curse words and splinters, would be eradicated during his first six months in office. Next, very bad things, including child abduction, soil erosion, and resurgent diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis, would be ended by the the end of 2009. Finally, extremely bad things—plights such as genocide, species extinction, and virtually every form of cancer—would take a full two years to wipe out.

“Racism will soon be a thing of the past,” Edwards said. “Same goes for being picked last for playground athletics, AIDS, robbery, not having enough spending money, and murder. Because these things are bad and not good, I promise they will be eliminated.”

His plan is as generic as his personality.  Funny article.

500 Pound Man Rescued

A 500 pound man got stuck in a river after his inner tube popped.  They couldn’t use a helicopter because it wouldn’t hold him.  They were able to move him six inches at a time.  According to twincities.com: “More than 10 local, state and federal agencies assisted in the rescue. There were no estimates of the rescue’s cost Tuesday”.  Dude, eat a salad.
