Irony - Mexican party style
Had fun on Tres de Mayo, but had an interesting dilemma. I was drinking at my usual pace. The wife, having not drank in months due to baby-related activities, had a beer and a margarita. A few hours passed and restless kids were forming at the babysitters’.
So who drives? The guy who clearly is sober but has higher than .08 blood-alcohol? Or the woman who is clearly under .08 but is feeling tipsy? Of course the irony is in the fact that common sense was flying in the face of the law, nonetheless, the correct answer is neither.
We let the children be unhappy for another hour until the wife’s head was clear.
Sorry, John, no lawyer needed.

Odds for President as of April 21st
The picture has changed since I last released my odds for president, let’s review and give our new odds just before Pennsylvania:
With the media embracing a new liberal, the Clintons’ immunity with the press has been lifted. Especially when it was clear she could lose, the onslaught increased. Turns out Hillary and Bill are pathological liars that will say and do (and have done) anything necessary to get political office. Who knew? That, and the problems she would have against McCain gives her a very low score.
Obama was the chosen one for about 3 months. The media coverage was overtly positive towards him. Then, if Obama is not president this time next year, it will be because of Ohio and Texas. I’m not saying he’ll lose the nomination, he almost assuredly has that, but the losses in TX/OH opened the door for months of Clinton criticisms. Obama, basically unknown to the public has a clean slate. This is the Democrat dream. As we all know, liberals are liked less and less, the more they tell or show people where they actually stand. Basically every solution they have is taxing more and giving that money to groups that ultimately use it as an incentive not to work.
McCain’s biggest hurdle is the Republican next to his name. He has a better chance of winning in this election than any of the other candidates, but he still has his comments that the economy is not his strong suit and that we could be in Iraq in 100 years. Both will be used against him. He also has consistently taken the high road and hasn’t personally attacked Obama/Clinton and even tells his subordinates not to do that either. There is a reason all politics turns ugly, because it wins elections. So I am not endorsing or condemning McCain for taking that stance, but it does hurt his odds. McCain’s next big media splash will be running mate. This is huge. If he picks a moderate, his conservative base will be angry. If he picks anyone with ties to Bush (ala Condi Rice), he’ll be open to the 4 more years of Bush attacks. So he probably needs a relatively unknown, but convicted conservative. But McCain could do about anything. This wildcard hurts his odds…
The Odds: McCain: 49% Obama: 45% Clinton: 4% Other: 2%

Small towns people = bitter racist bigots.
“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them…,” he said.
“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,” he also said.
- Barack Obama

Supposedly, its his sleeve and he’s holding onto a fishing rod.

Miley Cyrus is Hannah Montana
Ever have an Ace Ventura moment?

Einhorn and Finkle
Ahhh - Einhorn is Finkle! Finkle is Einhorn! I kissed a man… then you burn your clothes and wash off your shame.
Similar thing happened - Miley Cyrus is Hannah Montana. Hannah Montana is Miley Cyrus. No wonder they are equally annoying and completely ignored by this guy! Although I did still burn my clothes and wash my shame.

Artists that are currently tickling my fancy
The Avett Brothers
Stand Out Tracks - Die, Die, Die; The Ballad of Love and Hate; Pretend Love; Will You Return; Talk on Indolence
Definitely not country, but not quite rock. That’s the only way I can think of to describe them. It’s all acoustic with guitars and banjos. Kinda folksy, but also indie.
Vampire Weekend
Stand Out Tracks - Mansard Roof; Oxford Comma, Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa
On their debut album, they combine a couple different musical influences and make something that is completely their own. Heavy afro-pop rhythms (as in African-influenced pop, not Hip Hop) combined with an indie sensibility. Surprising sound from a group of white kids from Manhattan.
Wolf Parade
Stand Out Tracks - You Are a Runner and I am My Father’s Son; Grounds for Divorce; I’ll Believe in Anything
I think it’s the lead singer’s vocals, but this band reminds me of Modest Mouse. The musical arrangements on some of the songs are also frantic/disjointed the way a good MM song is.
Beirut
Stand Out Tracks - Nantes; Fork and Knives (La Fete); Brandenburg; Guyamas Sonora
OK, I’ll be the first to admit that this band won’t be for everybody. This music isn’t rock, it isn’t indie, it isn’t country. In fact, Amazon has this band listed under Alternative Folk, whatever that is. The music has a major Eastern European, gypsy flavor. They use tons of different instruments and it isn’t like anything you’ve heard on mainstream radio before.
