Blue Merle: Burning in the Sun

These guys sound pretty good. This review seems to say listen to them now before they get so overblown you hate them.





Blue Merle: Burning in the Sun

These are the people in your neighborhood.

These are the letters to the editor in today's CA. This first one is a concerned citizen that believes that the prison privatization movement in Memphis is not getting a fair shake. The letter points out many reasons why Memphis could benefit from private companies running it's prisons. Who is this concerned do-gooder spreading the gospel of all things private? Why it's Jim Turner vice-president of operations for Corrections Corporation of America. Thanks Jim, I'm convinced.

The rest of the letters are from the morons that walk the streets of my town who feel we need stickers on our textbooks telling everyone that if they like Darwin they are going to burn in hell.

Here is the choice cut:

"All evolutionists do is try to censor and stifle debate. What are they so afraid of? Could it be the thought that if creationism is true, then there must be a Creator to whom we will have to account for ourselves someday?"

AlterNet: MediaCulture: Hunter S. Thompson, R.I.P.

more great stuff from the master:

"How many more of these goddam elections are we going to have to write off as lame but 'regrettably necessary' holding actions? And how many more of these stinking double-downer sideshows will we have to go through before we can get ourselves straight enough to put together some kind of national election that will give me and the at least 20 million people I tend to agree with a chance to vote for something, instead of always being faced with that old familiar choice between the lesser of two evils? I understand, along with a lot of other people, that the big thing, this year, is Beating Nixon. But that was also the big thing, as I recall, twelve years ago in 1960 - and as far as I can tell, we've gone from bad to worse to rotten since then, and the outlook is for more of the same."


Or this:

"It is a nervous thing to consider: Not just four more years of Nixon, but Nixon's last four years in politics - completely unshackled, for the first time in his life, from any need to worry about who might or might not vote for him the next time around. If he wins in November, he will finally be free to do whatever he wants...or maybe 'wants' is too strong a word for right now. It conjures up images of Papa Doc, Batista, Somoza; jails full of bewildered 'political prisoners' and the constant cold-sweat fear of jackboots suddenly kicking your door off its hinges at four A.M."


Or this:

"The main problem in any democracy is that crowd-pleasers are generally brainless swine who can go out on a stage & whup their supporters into an orgiastic frenzy - then go back to the office & sell every one of the poor bastards down the tube for a nickel apiece. Probably the rarest form of life in American politics is the man who can turn on a crowd & still keep his head straight - assuming it was straight in the first place."

The Somerville Gates

Daytona wants money for nothing and it's chicks for free.

Daytona is always bitching. They were always hostile to spring breakers and they were shocked when they stopped coming. Now here they are complaining they had to build a walkway for 2.7 million. They can make that back in by selling knock off 3 stickers to the yokels. Somehow they have convinced the world that their crappie little beach town is a cool place to go. If they keep complaining people might realize that the traffic sucks, the beach is an ecological nightmare, everything is overpriced, the locals are all surly, and the boardwalk is a haven for pedophiles. If that happens I'm sure New Smyrna would love to take over.

Yahoo! News - Kid Rock Arrested on Assault Charges

I like that rock gets in a fight at one strip club and then is tracked down at another one. Favorite part of the article:

"When officers caught up with him, Kid Rock said he had dodged them because he wanted to sober up before being booked, Hullett said."

We are going to war...again.

Iran, Syria announce threat alliance:
[World News]: DAMASCUS, Syria, Feb. 16 : Facing increasing hostility from the United States, Iran and Syria announced Wednesday they were forming an allied front, the BBC reported.

"We are ready to help Syria on all grounds to confront threats," Iranian Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref said after meeting Syrian Prime Minister Naji al-Otari.

The announcement came as former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was buried in Beirut following a suicide bomb attack. While the United States has not directly accused Syria of the attack, it did recall its ambassador from Damascus.

The Bush administration has also been pressuring Iran over its nuclear capabilities and intentions.

Well I think this guys lists beats mine for content and depth. Plus, it seems like he was getting the exact same promos and samplers I've been getting all year long.
His screen name is that guy in the record store so it would make sense. Hey, maybe its Tyrone.

Cinemocracy: Cinemocracy Goes Billboard Hunting: Fun Juxtaposition Edition

I don't know what to say to this. Is Hollywood the reason for the reelection? They seem to be saying thanks Hollywood for annoying Middle America so much they had to vote for this loser.
Why not say thanks Osama for scaring us so bad that this guy won. How about a billboard saying thanks gays for having all those pride parades that made everyone feel so icky they had to pull the lever for this guy.
There is only one way to describe this, hubris. We all know what hubris comes before.

Yahoo! News - Bush Proposes Cuts to Scores of Programs

"This is the tightest budget that has been submitted since we got here," Cheney told "Fox News Sunday."
"It is a fair, reasonable, responsible, serious piece of effort. It's not something we have done with a meat ax, nor are we suddenly turning our backs on the most needy people in our society."

Of course it's not all of a sudden they have been turning their backs for a very long time.

I don't know if you watch American Idol, but this guy was on as one of the contestants last night. I recognized him imediately from his shows that were on comedy central and a Digiorno commercial for the love of god. What does this mean? I have some theories

A) Basic cable actors and show hosts get paid so little that they have to try out for crappy reality shows out of desperation and/or starvation.

B) Some people will do anything to recapture a fading career

C) This one is by far the most sinister. American Idol is perpertrating a fraud on the American people. They are hiring actors to play the incredibly bad singers that make the show what it is.

Is there reality in reality telvision!! Stay tuned.

And so it begins.

Some people have said that Bush is stupid for running the incredibly high deficits that his administration is producing. Well, I say he's (in the immortal words of J.P. Steffeck) stupid like a fox. Now he springs the real plan on the people.
The plan all along was to bleed the federal government dry to the point where it could no longer be fixed and only massive cuts would shore up the damage. In his state of the union Bush will say that now is the time for us to be fiscally conservative. The President needs to be told the time for that would have been when he had the chance to roll back his tax cut to help pay for his war. Now he is proposing a freeze on spending on everything except for, you guessed it, the war in Iraq.
There is a silver lining. In order for Bush to get all the cooperation he has been afforded on the hill during his presidency he has had to pump unbelievable amounts of pork in to the red states. If you think the Republicans are going to back away from the gravy train without a fight you have got another thing coming.
I maybe wrong, but the lame duck era for this president might be starting sooner than we think.
