Henry Rollins is tearing across the country on the "Provoked" spoken word tour, billed as "An evening of quintessentially American opinionated editorializing and storytelling." With over a dozen spoken word albums under his belt, Rollins has definitely proven his skill as a storyteller and cultural commenter, particularly on works like Black Coffee Blues and Get in the Van. He's also done some brilliant television work. For example, check out the potentially misogynistic letter to Ann...

The Hill Country flooding hits the national news. The kids are alright, indeed. The NYT consecrates the iPhone. Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter. Fina-freaking-ly. Apparently that Die Hard movie is "fun but forgettable". Fine, but we're seeing it anyway....

Remember when Air America came to Austin? Now there's a new show called Workin' It that airs in 50+ markets around the country (not in Austin, unfortunately).

Conservative "columnist" Ann Coulter has been called many a naughty name during her "illustrious" career as America's Most Despised Republican, the least of which might be "bigot," and the among the worst being a certain four-letter word that even Austinist wouldn't dare print. Most of these titles are aptly chosen, given her perchant for outrageously quixotic diatribes - and we have to admit that we find a slightly guilty pleasure in hearing her prattle on about people like ourselves. But when it was her turn to unleash the verbal vitriol at a speech at University of Connecticut yesterday, after students there clearly weren't having any of her silly shtick, the best she came up with was this gem:

It was recently announced that Ann Coulter will be coming to speak at UT on Tuesday night in the LBJ Auditorium. Passes for the event will be given out starting 8am on Monday morning in the Student Events Center Office. Our sources tell us that security will be very tight (no pies allowed) and only UT students/faculty/staff will be allowed into the event. Most likely, since the event is so last-minute, most faculty/staff/students will be able to gain entrance without a pass.

Even though Time magazine went crazy and put up Ann Coulter on the cover, proving you can reside on the far, far left of the genetic bell curve and still make it big, they still, sometimes, resemble a news magazine. Such is the case with a recent article which reports that 4 of the 24 U.S. delegates to the Inter-American Telecommunication Commission meeting in Guatemala City were barred due to their support of John Kerry. The White House even has the balls to own up to it (this time):
