LEO Weekly Monsters of Folk pics, GWAR extended interview, Burn To Shine on Music ’Cast now at Bluegrass Catastrophe.

GWAR is a band in the same way that John Wayne Gacy was a party clown. They have their ulterior motives, one of which is the no-holds-barred satire of their stage show. It is something that is actually bawdy, obscene and in your face, not some elevated humor trying to hearken back to Swift. ...

Oh, for Pete's sake...UK is a land grant institution. That means their primary objective is not education, it's research. Research takes money..and right now, govt money is hard to come by..so corporate sponsors are the next best bet. While I agree it is a shame, perhaps the greater shame is that academia must prostitute itself out in this manner to survive.

Militias?!?!: Oh god. Chris Kenning’s wonderful story in Sunday’s CJ about the uptick in Kentucky militias — a reaction to the crap-ass economy and the election of President Obama — left us unsettled and a little afraid, with echoes of Waco playing in our heads. Read it. Dog da...

This is heartbreaking stuff. I live out in the boonies, a dumping ground for unwanted animals, and I'm constantly taking in strays, getting them spayed, caring for them, loving them, and it's endless. The dumped animals are invariably not neutered, and so they all multiply like mad, and there simply aren't enough resources for unwanted animals. ... Read MoreSpaying is key, but unfortunately there are too many animals already in the mix and not enough people who give a damn. The recent stories about LMAS are horrifyingly sad, but all too common.

I adopted a dog from there, supposedly de-wormed. A couple of months later he started bleeding profusely anally, and pooping out huge worms at least 10 inches long! It broke my heart. The "care" these animals get equals cruelty, and I wondered if charges could be made...
