This song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2001 for its inclusion on the soundtrack of “The Wonder Boys,” and its chorus about sums it up for me — people are crazy and times are strange. I’m locked in tight. I’m out of range. I used to care, but things have changed. […]

Flag of the Day #6 – Federal Bureau of Prisons
The flag of the Federal Bureau of Prisons doesn’t have much going for it, but I guess that’s kinda the point. The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is supposed to be boring.
