ADVENTURES IN INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING

Everyone always hears about how much winter sucks in Chicago. But Obama recently gave the NPO tens of millions in the stimulus package, and suddenly they had to figure out how to inspect and repair four times as many houses next year as in the past. Now you can apply to this program to have your house slightly fixed so it's more energy-efficient and your bills drop and you can keep making those mortgage payments. In their frantic dash to hire people, I just got a job as an inspector. Read more

TROUBLE IN TEHRAN

I just thought you might be interested in what's been happening in Iran since everyone stopped paying attention. As a quick refresher, two weeks ago I was being accosted by two bored Basiji eager to club me, when I was rescued by "Ibrahim" and "Ismael," an Iranian-French father-and-son team who pose as pro-government medical professionals and recite nonviolent tenets from the Koran to intervene on behalf of protesters getting the tar beat out of them by Basiji militia. A few nights ago the duo invited me over to their apartment for dinner. Read more

WE'VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU

Do you know what it smells like over here in Toronto? It smells like the puke of a dog that went on a buffet run through the back alleys of Tijuana. It gets in your mouth it's so bad. This trash strike is going on 11 days now, and people still smiled when we snapped photos of them standing in front of heaps of consumer waste. Read more

GOOD BENEFITS AND LOTS OF TRAVELING

While in a frozen estuary in Estonia, we met one of those mercenaries who worked in Iraq back when people were still mad about Saddam Hussein. This brand-new war that started in Afghanistan today made us nostalgic for the way things used to be fucked up, so we're sharing our interview with him. Read more

PLEASE HELP BURY BOBBY UBANGI

Last night Atlanta's good-vibes comptroller BJ Womack died of cancer at the age of 34. He was a member of a bunch of amazing bands like the Lids, the Gaye Blades, and the Carbonas, released a scattered assortment of records under his stage name Bobby Ubangi, and was pretty much the lynchpin/inspiration/impresario for anything fun and exciting that's happened in the city over the past decade. Check out a scant fraction of his work and help his friends pay for his funeral over at VBS. Read more

DISNEYLAND AFTER DARK

Last week I chaperoned a graduating high school class of 2009 to Grad Nite, an exclusive all-night party at Disneyland. By the time we were about to head home, the benches had filled with sleeping bodies and the murmurs of fresh hook-ups, the aftermath of one giant sexy teenage skunk-weed party.

HAMILTON'S PHARMACOPEIA

Should the meth cook blow up in his trailer and burn on a pyre of paint thinner and nasal decongestants, is he any different than a Buddhist monk self-immolating for religious freedom?

THE REAL-LIFE OMAR LITTLE

Omar Little, the incredibly violent but still strongly moral stick-up artist from The Wire, is one of the most compelling fictional creations ever to slam a shotgun into a dealer's face. Except he's not wholly a fictional creation-his life and modus operandi was inspired by Donnie Andrews, a former stick-up artist, convicted murderer, and all-round Baltimore bad-ass.
