Binky the Doormat
This blog has been around since mid-October 2003, and has followed my random mind around such topics as Eddyland (both versions), the San Pedro Beach Bums, the day grocer, my thoughts on a French auto museum, taco organizations, Nez, the end of mp3.com, Wesley Willis, Network Car, the Cluetrain Manifesto and parodies, googlisms, Wckr Spgt, Madonna, Lake Havasu City, general stuff on supermarkets, traffic calming obstructions, solo efforts by music group members, "master and servant," Gerald Ford, Saddam Hussein, Bob Einstein, proportional representation, Billy Jack seeking to kick government butt, the seamy underside of Belgian dance music, and other stuff about the 2004 presidential campaign.

Oh yeah...I also talked about the R.E.M. song "Binky the Doormat" a lot this month. Lyrics, origin of the title, its relation to spammers, its relation to Howard Dean, its relation to Ian Van Dahl, its relation to Roy Disney's ineffectiveness, its relation to NFL lawyers, etc., etc., etc. In fact, it's fair to say that the January archive of this blog is the most comprehensive page to discuss "Binky the Doormat" in a semi-random way...at least until Wesley Clark withdraws from the presidential race.
