“Can you tell me how to get…how to get to Sesame Street?”
According to the Republicans if you’re following Big Bird, you’re following a leftist liberal who will walk you straight into an abortion clinic while asking for government handouts.
Okay, yes that’s a bit extreme, but Republicans have once again set their sites on cutting spending within the government, while looking in all the wrong places. Much like the Republican House of Representatives before them, the newest legislature has again targeted the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) for elimination, proposing to cut all funds supplied by the Federal Government.

“I always design intending it to be 12 inches.”
-Conrad Keely
Over the past five years, Austin rockers … And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead have broken from Interscope, put out a series of increasingly challenging and complex albums, and started operating under their own imprint, Richter Scale Records. It’s been a tough ride for Trail of Dead, but it’s led them to their new LP, Tao of the Dead, which came together more easily than any record the band had ever done before. They finished it in just ten days.

The idea: Seven days of sobriety. This might not sound like a big deal to you guys, so imagine it this way: comparatively, I might as well be asking you 9-5ers for a week without coffee, or a week without food. Beer is my friend, my evening companion, my job and my love. My friends and I rarely have a night out without it and never a shift at work without serving it. Lucky for me, the night that my beloved Green Bay Packers won the Superbowl, beer and I spent a bit too much time together, and I was more willing than ever to give Sober Week a try. Here’s what happened.

“Expect generous servings of death to be doled out”-
– Adam Warren
Adam Warren has spent a large part of his career known as a “manga-influenced” comics artist. Nowadays that’s a meaningless term as comics, illustration and fine art have absorbed influences from Japan and elsewhere, but when Warren began his career in the late 1980s, it was very different. “The Dirty Pair” was based on a book series that Warren turned into comics series published by Eclipse Comics and later Dark Horse. Besides the many “Dirty Pair” books, Warren has done a lot of work for Marvel, DC and Wildstorm over the years, writing and drawing books like “Gen13,” “Livewires,” “Iron Man: Hypervelocity” and “Titans: Scissors, Paper, Stone.”
