Arlo Guthrie on "This Land" parody
Well, I really can't speak for him. I can just tell you that when I saw it a few weeks ago I thought it was one of the funniest commentaries if not one of the most directly inspired...

I think my dad would have absolutely loved the humor in it.

What ARE Those Yellow Wristbands?
Have you noticed people wearing yellow wristbands lately? Well, they're actually a fundraiser for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. At one dollar each, the Foundation is hoping to raise five million dollars for people around the world who are living with cancer. http://www.nike.com/wearyellow/ has the details. As of this morning, all are backordered!
Skepticism, like chastity, should not be relinquished too readily. --George Santayana
