Irreverent musings and malarkey from a disillusioned dilettante
Today's song of the day is a fun one. It's Mundian To Bach Ke by Panjabi MC. Solid stuff, right? Really, really catchy. In other non-news news, I found these two short historical documentaries on plantation life in the Southern U.S. interesting. You won't learn a whole lot but a fair amount of mid 20th...

It's been an age, I know. But if you're somewhat hazy on the details and want a solid summary the Wikipedia page titled "Impeachment... Continue Reading →
If you have an interest in architecture, U.S. history, celebrity criminals, or Chicago, read this book. I couldn't put it down. I've heard people complain about the immense level of general detail and boredom around overly-descriptive architectural details but I found neither in the book.
