A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Bragg
Here it is:
Hearing DJ John Peel mention on-air that he was hungry, Bragg rushed to the BBC with a mushroom biryani, so Peel played a song from Life's a Riot, although at the wrong speed (since the 12" LP was, unconventionally, cut to play at 45rpm).[8] Peel insisted he would have played the song even without the biryani, and he later played it at the correct speed.
It wasn't a sandwich, it was a biryani.

Dear Trouble,
You charaterization of the Lillie Ledbedder act was not quite accurate. Perhaps a lawyer or labor activist responded earlier, but gender-based pay discrimination is already illegal. The LL act is to overturn a procedural ruling of the Bush Supreme Court which says that the time limit for filing legal action claiming gender pay discrimination (I think it is two years, but I'm not sure) is from the time the pay discrimination started. Usually, pay violations are considered a continuing violation that recurs with every pay check. So when LL filed her original suit, she could go retroactive for two years from the date she filed the suit. In her case, since she did not discover that she was being discriminated against for more than the time limit in the law after the discrimination began, the Court threw out her suit.
The act, if passed by Congress, will re-affirm that pay discrimination is a contiuing violation.
Apologies for the typos and the delay in commenting. I'm trying to get out of the house and everyone knows how difficult that can be.
BTW, I find it amusing and interesting coincidental that GWB's last day in office in the national holiday for MLK's birthday. You can be sure that GWB's birthday will never be a national holiday.

Sorry to sound discouraging there. It would be a fantastic idea, And maybe that is the gift that Obama has given Americans, it is the concept of hope and imagination. Obama is the first american politician I can imagine in an art gallery or buying a cd for his own pleasure.
I think that is monumentally significant.

i could see Bush in one of those galleries with the bronzes of cowboys and western paintings. But it would be great fun to follow him around Dia.

Once I was at this Zen center, and I asked them what the point of it all was, and they sat me down and had me watch that movie, no joke.

I just watched a CBC-TV documentary (I live in toronto, Canada) about plastic. They made a scary point:
The guy asked you to think about every bit of plastic you've ever seen in your lifetime (they showed images of coffee cups and hair dryers and bad old computers and phones and 60's chairs...)
They then told us that every bit of that plastic is still here on earth.
Then they said that plastic is looking more like food and food is looking more like plastic. It was fascinating to see how little pellets of plastic looks like plankton and the fish eat it, and there are islands the size of england in the ocean, made of discarded plastic.
Very sobering dcc.
Annie, more power to you and your movement.

i take my recycling to the transfer station (dump) every other weekend and we have a 50 gallon rubbermaid can full of HDPE, styrofoam and tin, mostly from food packaging. and we eat no processed food either. The paper pile gets smaller, though, since the Times jacked up the price to a dollar and a half. erella, any good memories of Tiny Talent Time or Party Game?

Trouble- listening from the Museum of Natural History in NYC where you would have a hay day with all the drawers of stuffed bird specimens. Some are very very old. You would like...although I'm a fan of the alive sort...

Haha Dale, yes I remember them both (perhaps a bit too much). Scary.
Toronto has a pretty green Mayor. Our compost gets picked up at our houses every week and the curbside recycling program is super advanced.
Now there is a new bylaw that all stores have to charge extra for plastic bags. It all helps.
When I go to visit my friends in Michigan and see no mandated recycle programs I find it surprising and kind of retro. "Oh, look a No Smoking section in the family restaurant".
Yergh but it is soooooo cold here today. A million below zero, at least.

The first time I got a tour of the ornithology department ( I work in entomology), there was a man doing some water color paintings of some of the stuffed birds- like for book illustrations or something. They were so beautiful. He made them look so alive...

ellen, i've started seeing electric undercounter composters (look like a little dishwasher). The good is no smelly garbage and compost. The bad is it uses electricity - most likely coal fired around here.

Thanks, Dale. I think I know the kind you're talking about. I still think the city should invest in public compost pick up. I think those composters cost a couple hundred bucks and I just don't know what you'd even do with it without a backyard, ya know?

I love that Passion Pit song and the JAMs (a.k.a. the KLF, which stands for Kopyright Liberation Front). I don't know why they abbreviated Justified Ancients of Mu Mu as "JAMs" but they did, apparently. What wankers. But great ones.
