Darts & Laurels

This week it seems that along with the pollen and spring, protesting is also in the air. Whether it's the anti-war protestors on the corner of 13th Street and University Avenue, the hunger strikers staking it out in front of Bernie's office or the maniacs trying to extinguish the Olympic torch, it's hard to keep up with who's mad at who for what these days. So, here at Darts & Laurels headquarters, we'll keep it simple for you this week and let you know what should really be pissing you off. Get your signs ready and practice your angry chants for this week's edition of Darts & Laurels.

Column attack on McCain misguided

Week after week, Joshua Frederickson writes impassioned columns bashing any thought that is on this side of far-left. I enjoy political discourse, but only when it is informed. I do not have room here to detail his numerous errors and misguided assertions, so I will focus on his attack against McCain over waterboarding. He claims that McCain's anti-torture "convictions" disappeared when he voted against the Senate's ban.

'Walk It Off' never finds its legs

Blame it on the blogs. Blame it on the fickle keyboard elitists who promised us that Tapes 'n Tapes was the second coming of Pavement, the perfectly refined seed of Frank Black and Kim Deal, the revolution that would reclaim the Minneapolis post-punk high ground long abandoned by the Replacements.
