Starkly ambitious and powerful, 2006's "Return to Cookie Mountain" was TV on the Radio's take-no-prisoners leap into the major leagues. It's doubtful the Brooklynites could match its bleak grandeur this soon after, and "Dear Science" doesn't try. ...more

Members of the board of directors for The Sun City Center Community Association approved the Golf Course Task Force's Statements of Work at their monthly meeting Oct. 8. They then sent the task force out to gather bids on the study which may or may not be able to tell SCC what the courses are worth and what repairs need to be made to them. The results will be used by the board to evaluate the courses in case WCI - currently in Chapter 11 bankruptcy - decides to put them on the market. (In that case, the CA has the right of first refusal on the North Lakes and Sandpiper courses.) ...more

I have just finished reading Greg Palast's "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy" and if you are interested in how your government really works, I recommend it. However, it has made me eat my words. I once said that "Dubya" was not good at anything he did. After reading this book I find that he is really good indeed at sleazy, manipulative, underhanded dirty politics. Oh, I don't give him all the credit. A man of his limited abilities couldn't do this all on his own. No, he had plenty of help. He has been indulged by a powerful and wealthy family who has supported his candidacy for president in every way imaginable. And his advisors were able to manipulate him to their own good and well-being. The rest of us are bearing the fruits of these selfish and failed policies. When I think of the young men and women who faithfully invaded another country and died or were maimed and changed for the rest of their lives, my heart bleeds for them. We are on the brink of recession and in debt to China and Japan among others and the outlook is bleak. So, to whom do we look to save us? ...more
