...said right off that, in America at least, Richter was easy to miss. Think the words "new German art," and you think "neo-Expressionism." Think that, and the heart sinks. Heftige malerei, the German critics used to call it, "heavyweight painting," and it was certainly crude enough for three drunken gnomes and a village woodcutter. Inch-thick paint (the stuff that used to mean "sincerity" in the 1980s, remember?) and sculptures mutilated from tree roots with chain saws. All this rhetoric, now so comic, had its equivalents in the States (think of Julian Schnabel and his pretensions), but Germany...
...rural Minnesota judge, tired of seeing the same people come before him repeatedly for drunken driving, is trying something new. Isanti County District Judge James Dehn sentences some repeat drunken drivers to staggered jail terms--allowing them to serve one-third of their time immediately, one-third a year later and one-third a year after that. In between those jail stints, if the offenders can prove they have reformed, they can earn their way out of the remaining jail time. But if they get another DUI infraction, it's back to jail for the full sentence...
...many? Call it a bunch of drunken sailors nursing a hangover.

Daharphuni ’04. “I am TRASHED!” he exclaimed as he attempted to open the front door to Lowell by sticking his pinky finger in the card swipe slot post-initiation. “Do you like my TIE?” he yelled to the card swipe machine. “It’s turquoise too! HA!” He then yakked on the card swipe machine, rendering it useless and yak-encrusted...
...That also goes for Sanneh's description of The White Stripes' sound: "a drunken Rolling Stones rehearsal from 1965." The Stripes are blues-influenced guitar rock, and so were the 1965 Stones, but would the Stones have considered restricting their lineup to one guitar and a drummer, as the White Stripes have done? Composing a song entirely out of dialogue from Citizen Kane (see the Stripes' "The Union Forever," on their album "White Blood Cells," which is climbing the charts). Covering country songs in which the narrator is a woman? (The Stripes' best live number is "Jolene," made famous...
