From The New York Times:
“Senator Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky, offered his own plan, which he said would balance the federal budget in five years by eliminating the departments of education and energy, among other measures.”
Do Senators name their budget plans? Because Rand Paul’s could be called Blade Runner or Robocop.

I couldn’t remember what Ralph Fiennes looked like, though I knew I used to confused him with Liam Neeson. In fact, the two acclaimed actors are often photographed hugging. I have also confused Jimmy Fallon and Chris Kattan, Nasim Pedrad and Jenny Slate, Charles Durning and David Huddleston, and the first time I saw Boogie Nights I thought Tim Meadows played Buck Swope.1

I won’t bother you with a picture of a side-by-side comparison, but here’s a Google Image Search that shows the many comparisons.
I find Juliette Lewis disconcerting; I find anyone that comfortable with themselves disconcerting. In Strange Days she plays the unselfconscious and exhaustingly naked lead singer of the millenniums worst rock band. This band is so bad they can’t even sign a contract with her corrupt boyfriend’s imprint. They dress like the action figures of some rock band in a DC comic. They cover PJ Harvey. They’re probably not even friends.
Alan asked me when having a violin player has ever been a good idea for a rock-band. The Velvet Underground (not Jon Luc Ponty) being the lone answer.
“The only reason we wore sunglasses onstage was because we couldn’t stand the sight of the audience.” – John Cale
John Cale is talking about the Velvet Underground, but I’m a big fan, aesthetically, of the Honi Soit (for which Andy Warhol awesomely suggested the title John and Yoko) period wearing sunglasses onstage phase of John Cale’s career.

Years ago I received this in the mail with an order I placed at Evil Video. It’s a miniature reproduction of a black light poster.
“It really was a kind of spiritual moment for me,” Oates says, laughing. “The mustache represented a me I no longer was. I shaved it off and never looked back.” The next day, he and Hall were waiting at the Tokyo airport for a flight back to the States when Miles Davis appeared. “He came up to me with those red eyes of his,” says Oates. “He got like three inches from my face and kinda drew his finger across his own upper lip, as if he was shaving, and he said to me [in a deep, raspy voice], ‘Now the lovin’s gonna be better.’ ” Oates pauses. “And then he went up to Daryl and said, ‘I used to tell my hairdresser, I want my hair to look just like Daryl’s.’ ” (LINK)
