Austinist happily anticipated fall's Austin City Limits, even though they're not fully recovered from South By Southwest. In...

As the world holds its breath, teetering precariously on the cusp of the Super Bowl (well, at least in America), the wheels of the -ists keep on turning.

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):

We've been a really good Austinist this week and kept you updated on all the events of this weekend. But we thought we'd be really, good and remind you about all of them:

Do you remember the days when J-Kwon was bumping while everyone in the club was getting tipsy? When blogging took hold of the nation? There was turmoil in Iraq and suspicion regarding the White House? Well now you can take a trip down memory lane and re-live the glory days of 2004 when current Senator and former Presidential candidate John Kerry visits our fair city on Saturday April 16th. We at the Austinist will be front and center crying the entire time.
