[Andytown] DEF LEPPARD HAS A NEW ALBUM

Andytown — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:33:28 +0000

Def Leppard has a new album out. I listened to two tracks. It sounds horrible. This arises in me a number of questions: do they still have the guy with one arm (or something?), are they all still alive, do

Pensmoke — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:33:28 +0000

[Andytown] I LIKE WINE . . . AND CHEESE. SOMETIMES TOGETHER.

Andytown — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:33:28 +0000

Slate has a really interesting article about wine-and-cheese liberals. That the author accuses Obama, and not Hilary, of elitism, seems kind of ridiculous. Obama may be a really rich dude, but Hilary and her husband are loaded. This type of populist
