no yu begin wher i end

I know what you mean. In the lead-up to the Iraq war (which I initially supported), I began to wonder if maybe not all we were hearing was true. It seemed strange that with all the intelligence reports the Americans had, the UN weapons inspectors didn't find anything. I then read a few blogs, and then I was like, "damn, I can't believe I support this." I tried reading a few right-wing blogs, but found that they were essentially hate-filled bile, and thus began my drift towards the left. (And, boy do I love it!)

It's ironic, really. In a country that trumpets democracy and freedom throughout the world, they can't even get off their lazy asses and vote at home. For the Venezuela elections, they had 95% voter turnout. In Brazil, it's a felony not to vote. I wonder how many American non-voters supported the idea the invasion of Iraq in order to install democracy. Voter apathy notwithstanding, it is your right as a human being to vote. Don't like the mainstream candidates? Give your vote to a fringe candidate. If you don't vote, then you're being irresponsible and showing utter disdain for the system that allows you the freedoms to live in peace without fear of secret police dragging you out in the middle of the night to a re-education center, or that you or anyone dear to you may not live to see another day because you think that everyone should be allowed education and health care. It's a case of laziness and ignorance, and it's fucking sad.

'Lady Sings the Blues' - Billie Holiday

1) Sort of a Protest Song 2) Alert Status Red 3) Dusk 4) Tripoli 5) Lullaby For The New World Order 6) Apparitions

'Slow Hands' - Interpol

I don't think Kurt Cobain was a really great guitar player or singer, but he was an awesome lyricist. The best musician in the group was Dave Grohl. The only reason Nirvana became the 'leader of the pack' is because they got a major record deal first, whereas Pearl Jam's first release was out a full year before 'Nevermind', and only after Nirvana's big label success did things start looking up for them. I still like them, though.

"How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?"

I think Nirvana is over rated, so I'm going with Pearl Jam.

How about 'fucking animals'? Edit: You're right. No words can describe the senseless slaughter of innocent children.

'Sink to the Beat' - Cursive

I know Eric Clapton did a tribute album. Are there any albums in particular that you'd recommend?

haha I just thought of Chris Matthews vs. Zell Miller

Free cd's with air miles? Hot damn!

There were balloons during Wil's set. Then somebody knocked one down, and the rest disappeared to somewhere.

'It's A Good Life If You Don't Weaken' - Tragically Hip

My friend Daniel got hit by one, so he didn't throw it back and kept it.

That's the guy! Chris Matthews asked him if he actually thought that Kerry would have the army fight with spitballs, and he blew up. Man! The Democrats should find some way to work that interview into a campaign video.

'Confirmation' - Charlie Parker

'Caught by the Window' - Pilate 'Chutes Too Narrow' - The Shins 'Hail To The Thief' - Radiohead 'Avalanche' - Matt Good 'Tomorrow The World' - The Shazam

It says that Luke was saved from aliens, not his his aunt and uncle. Also, this refers to the first story in the Harry Potter series and the first movie in the Star Wars trilogy, so going by those two, we don't know that Vader is Luke's father and that Leia is his twin sister. Didn't Luke kick Darth Vader's ass? Obi Wan Kenobi kicked Anakin into a lava pit or something, and that's how he became mostly a machine. Therefore, Vader's ass is kickable.

The potential for another conflict is still there, certainly. It's virtually impossible for centuries old hate to disappear just like that. I thought Milosevich was already on trial, just that they weren't getting anywhere because he was being so uncooperative.

Good God. The war will be televised, indeed. My sympathies to the Russian people and the Chechen people who have to live with the shame of knowing that sick and twisted animals carried this out in their name.

All 'Jedi' had was a bunch of Muppets. Harry's an emo kid at his worst. Therefore, anyone could kick his ass.

M*A*S*H is a great show. Can anyone tell me how Frank and Trapper left? I missed those shows

'Day Tripper' - The Beatles
