We told you last time, and, thank god, you listened. We told you Dan Deacon was coming, and you were ready. Well, we're telling you again....

Schwarzenegger continues to make us weirdly like him. (But we're still not moving to California.) Castro beginning to show signs of willingness to retire. Monkeys are better at estimating quantities than Duke undergrads. Students, beware: Professors are spying on your Facebookings. Good news: Cancer death rates are falling in the United States. Lady lets the New York Times take a picture of her Celine Dion tattoo. Are Leno and Conan scabbing, technically?......

Strawberries and chocolate. California and Schwarzenegger. Spiderman 3 and Xanax. All classic pairings that destiny and the Austin Museum of Art have been working to outstrip this week, with the presentation of two new exhibits: The Target Collection of American Photography: A Century in Pictures and 24 Summers at Barton Springs Pool: Photographs by Will van Overbeek. Both shows open this Saturday. A Century in Pictures presents nearly ninety photographs taken by men and women......

Did Ghostland Observatory play a free show at Auditorium Shores? Nope, it was Illinois Senator and democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama (photos coming soon). Vice President Dick will not back down from his smack down of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Senator Lieberman is almost a Republican. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger would like everyone to quit harassing Senator Hillary Clinton. Vice President Dick would also like for everyone to fear China. Can you really picture......

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Chris Bell is calling for an increase in the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7 an hour. Governor Rick Perry's re-election campaign has set its guns on Kinky, calling him a "flip-flopping politician." Kinky's camp responded by stating that he was offended by being called a politician. A representative of Chris Bell has called Kinky a "cokehead" and the Kinky camp responded by calling Bell "irrelevant." Sen. Arlen Spector's bill authorizing......

California's Senate just passed a greenhouse gas cap. That means Arnold Schwarzenegger has saved the world, at least until the late-model Terminator recoalesces out of the tiny little metallic beads that are scattered all over the floor and creeps up behind him...where were we? Oh yeah, science. Remember the Valerie Plame case? Richard Armitage was responsible for the initial leak. Anticlimax. Universal Music to offer free song downloading. People who still non-ironically like Eminem......

Now its going to be just as expensive to kill yourself as it is to see a doctor. The proposed tax on cigarettes was approved by the Texas Senate yesterday in an effort to give teachers a long-overdue raise. The Duke Lacrosse rape investigation has led to a massive increase in past rape victims seeking counseling. A Senate committee has recommended that FEMA be abolished, saying it is "beyond repair." Others recommend an entirely......

For a few years, labeling someone/thing Metrosexual was all the rage. Yea, it was shallow and trite and oversimplified and actually quite pointless, probably stemming from our need to label everything as “other,” in order to deal with our own neuroses and fears and judgmental attitudes. But it was still shoved down our throats relentlessly. Metrosexuals were the new black, and the identification of the trend was even more tiresome than the trend itself.......

Are you wondering where you will get your sketch comedy funny now that the Chappelle show is on “hold”? How about by supporting your local Latino Comedy Project ensemble. The LCP is performing two shows a night Thursday – Saturday at 8PM and 10:30PM over at The Hideout Theatre downtown. We caught the early show of "Citizen Quién?" last night and we laughed and cried laughed the whole night. "Citizen Quién?" takes the audience......
