"Politically correct" Pearl Jam slammed in Parade Magazine
Don't know if anyone gets the paper, hard-copy of Parade magazine... This week there's an article in Personality Parade on Pearl Jam with a negative right-wing slant:

Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam "...hope to lure thousands of environmentally sensitive fans to concerts by convincing them that the band is politically correct. Sounds like a lot of gas to us."

Note: this is from the paper, hard-copy of the magazine this week. For some reason, the online version of the story does not include the above line.

This isn't the first time they've written negatively on environment, progressive causes. They also slammed Barbara Streisand for speaking up against Bush.

2. Anyone read Ask Marylin?
anyone else notice a lot of repetition there?

And if she's so smart, how come she can't find a better job than Parade Magazine?

3. How old is that guy?
He's been writing that column since I was a kid. (Does he even exist, or is he a fake name for a bunch of anonymous wingnuts?)

I also "loved" his slam on Dean a few weeks back.
