...down from Nelly, at a bar right near where Moby was DJing. On Monday, I went to the New Orleans Jam-Balaya, where I saw Randy Newman, Terence Blanchard, the Meters and Allen Toussaint. And Tucker Carlson sounded very excited about the jam-band thing with Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart that he told me he was going to on Tuesday...
...would-be satires cop out by the final reel and become the thing they started to mock. Tropic Thunder devolves from a Hollywood diatribe, in which all the participants are greedy or loony, into Rambo VII or a peppier Platoon. And Hamlet 2 turns into an MGM musical with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, where the kids put on the big show in a barn - here, a warehouse.

There's a sense that paradise has been ruined by awful traffic, overcrowded schools, overtapped aquifers and polluted beaches. The land of Disney dreams for the middle class is now a high-cost, low-wage state with Mickey Mouse schools and Goofy insurance rates, living beyond its environmental and economic means in harm's way. As peculiar as it sounds, this go-for-broke state of boundless possibilities - the land of Kimbo Slice, Miami Vice and Mar-a-Lago - might be leading America into a new era of limits...
