    Chael Sonnen (MMA) chooses "How Soon Is Now?" as his #1 song to walk out to before a fight

    Gosh, nobody responded yet? I thought this was fantastic. A little overwrought in places, maybe ("a portion of my soul I was afraid to access for fear that it would drive me mad"), but he's an MMA fighter, so I guess it makes sense. If I were to object that I don't hear "morose self-pity" in...

    Rick Santorum is The Smiths - Slate

    Fails as comedy, but fails as political commentary, too. The sad spectacle of Santorum splitting the GOP would argue for a three-way analogy: Santorum is Sammy Hagar, Gingrich is David Lee Roth, and Mitt Romney blurs together with the old-school GOP establishment in the form of Eddie Van...

    Morrissey in Slate: "Our Dylan"

    I was waiting for somebody else to post this, surprised nobody has. Slate's critic on Morrissey Stephen Metcalf is a great critic. I'm glad to know he likes Morrissey. He wrote an excellent essay-- a million times better than anything Morrissey-related that's been published on Slate...

    Michael Vick
