Vic Chesnutt died on Christmas Day. The same day that respresents the birth of history's most famous martyr. Vic is a martyr now is his right. A man who was plagued for most of his adult life with stockpiled medical bills that he couldn't pay, dies during the same week that America passes a health care bill. Many opponents of public health care have said that no one in America dies because

8 Crazy Hanukkah Songs!
Posted on 16:30 by Unknown
Considering the greatest songwriters, TV writers, and screenwriters are all Jewish (okay not all of them...but a lot) one would think we would have a few festive songs for Hanukkah. But in the past century we've only been able to muster up a good half dozen.

Two newcomers to watch...Cut Off Your Hands and Cage The Elephant...I have a
