Vagabond Opera show was fffantastic. I now crave a friday-night booking at the 330 club so we can really do it up right. More on that later. For now, I give you a link. It's about politics, but I'm linking because it's a great piece of Gonzo Jounrnalism from a fellow traveller:
Matt Stoller rides "The Debate Train to Crazy-Town".
Truly, he must have been visited -- just for a minute -- by the ghost of HST, spiritual godfather to all bloggers.

That being finally taking on the horrendously treyf idea that we can either allow encroachments on our civil liberties or die in terror attacks.
I know, I know. Lieberman is reviled and the attempt at his toppling is really supposed to be a referendum on Iraq. And boy does Stoller show that revulsion.
But, I dunno, if I was forced to choose one paramount issue, it would be civil liberties. Maybe they're not as flashy as Iraq and wouldn't win Lamont the support he's getting now, but I know I'd certainly want that to be the debate.
