• Cardinals to Particpate in Strange Pitch to Save Earth ... For an Hour

  stlouis.cardinals.mlb.comYesterday I received a curious e-mail about a press conference at Busch Stadium scheduled for 2 p.m. this afternoon. The event sounded so preposterous that I immediately responded to the sender with the query: "Is this for real?" No, no! Came the reply from St. Louis marketing firm Geile/Leon. The event is very real and the folks at Geile/Leon are very excited about it. (Of course, marketing firms are paid to be very excited about many things.)So here's the skinny: Today

• Unreal Bares Our Soul

  The movie Cold Souls sounds kind of like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind without the Jim Carrey-Kate Winslet part.

• Forty Files: Highway 40 Photo Documentary, Vol. 8

  "This project is moving along great, and that's because of the Labor Union and all the organized trades that have all played their part." Wait a second! That's the radio ad for the labor union! I've been brainwashed. Could it be because the radio spot runs every ten minutes during Cardinals games!? But hey, I got to hand it to someone. The highway is moving along rapidly. What was a dirt ravine for months and months (photos here) suddenly looks like an interstate.​In this photo from yesterday
