I was born into Catholicism. Can I be un-baptised? These fuckers are nuts.

The official Vatican newspaper has declared that beer-swilling, doughnut-loving Homer Simpson and son Bart are Catholics — and what’s more, it says that parents should not be afraid to let their children watch “the adventures of the little guys in yellow.”
“Few people know it, and he does everything to hide it. But it’s true: Homer J. Simpson is Catholic,” the Osservatore Romano newspaper said in an article on Sunday headlined “Homer and Bart are Catholics.”

If Jesus were alive he’d probably find this hysterical…and pathetic.

The Cramps make an appearance on the exceedingly cool Chicago public access kiddie show Chic-A-Go-Go. Late 1990’s.

Lil’ Ratso goes nuts!

Here’s a very nicely done and highly marvy little innerweb commercial for the spankin’ new Bob Dylan box: The Original Mono Recordings. I don’t think I’ll be shelling out for it but it’s an awfully cool idea.
 

 
Thanks Matt Devine !

 
Well, whad’ya know? I guess there’s nothin’ like squirrel stew with dumplings.

Once again, Squirrel Awareness Month runs concurrently with the opening of squirrel hunting season in deep East Texas, a coincidence that brings to light the paradox of the squirrel experience in America.

Update: A DM reader points out, “Proof the recession isn’t over…”

Larry Clark once said in an interview with Swindle Magazine

“At the end of the day, what I show is real life. I tell the truth. And the truth can be shocking.”

A Republican front group calling itself “Latinos for Reform” claims it will be running the above ad nationally before the election.

Just when you thought the skullduggery couldn’t possibly get any lower than it already has in this vilest of the vile election season, the GOP will always be there to prove you wrong.

Writer, critic and translator, Fernanda Pivano interviews Jack Kerouac on Italian television, 1966. Kerouac is more than a wee bit shitfaced.

Pivano was known for her insightful and freewheeling interviews of American beat writers, including Ginsberg, Corso, Bukowski and Burroughs. She had a knack for getting on the wavelength of writers being one herself. And she enjoyed drinking with them. Her published interviews with Bukowski are worth seeking out. Her longstanding friendship with Hemingway certainly prepared her for dealing with a bunch of drunk poets.
