The Hobbit: The Misty Mountains covered acapella, by one guy. Peter Hollens does a very convincing multi-voiced piece all by himself.

Do you like Leonard Cohen? Of course you do! Do you like pain? Of course you do, you like Leonard Cohen! Therefore, you will love this Christian (or Christianist) re-write, with Youtube recordings, of Cohen's masterpiece, "Hallelujah." (I disagree with Jessica that it's "The Best Song Ever." It's awesome, but nothing will drive me to tears faster than Cohen's "Thousand Kisses Deep.")

Phrase of the day: agnotologic capitalism: a capitalism systematically based on the production and maintenance of ignorance. Unfortunately, I don't think the writer goes deep enough into the willful participation of the ignorant. They really would rather not know how deeply dipped in shit we all are.

Ah, Victor Davis Hanson. I've actually read a few of his histories, and found them bracing and manly. Which is why his descent into a whining wingnut cretin grates so on the nerves. Davis refuses to take the world as it is-- refuses to even try to understand the world as it is-- and instead wishes we went back to a time when naked oil wrestling was the way real men settled disputes. Only, in a purely heterosexual way.
