To our loyal low culture reader(s): Due to technical problems out of my control combined with Time Warner Cable scheduling back-ups that could make Brazil look like a corporate efficiency training film, I will be mostly off-line until Wednesday, November 12. It is my hope that my partner—nudge, nudge, you lazy bum—will pick up the slack in my absence and blog about more than America not really wanting to go to war and them bad Bushes, them Bushes, them Bushes, and them Cheneys. And them Bushes.*

While I'm living without cable or internet access the way God and Bill McKibben intended, you should take time to visit some our Monheit, Jr.-approved links, below. See ya next week, and can someone please tape The Simpsons for me?
Thanks in advance!
Your pal,
Matt

[Thanks to D.F. and L.S. for letting me use their house today. Also, you guys, you're like totally out of root beer and Pringles: if you could pick some up on your way home from work, that would be awesome.]
