We’re Tired

With the election only two months away I find myself numb and exhausted by the sound of our President’s voice. Seeing Dubya give a State of the Union Address at this point is like someone emailing me that video of the monkey that rams his finger up his ass and smells it and then falls [...]

Drowned

It’s funny how the Who gets identified with being this loud raucous band when so much of the same intensity comes across from Townshend in a solo acoustic setting.
When I was 5 years old I wanted to be Pete Townshend.

a Latte Cafe

Stepped into this new cafe on Granby Street this morning. Nice place, decent coffee. Closes at 7PM, which doesn’t work for me at all. Too bad.

Idiocracy

The following conversation did not actually happen:
“Have you ever seen Idiocracy?”
“No.”
“It’s funny. It’s about this average guy who gets frozen and then wakes up 500 years in the future and he’s the smartest person in the world because the whole world has become a bunch of rednecks and retards.”
“I go to bed every day and [...]

A Hockey Mom Just Like You and Me

Or so I thought..

Palin recently said that the war in Iraq is “God’s task.” She’s even admitted she hasn’t thought about the war much—just last year she was quoted saying, “I’ve been so focused on state government, I haven’t really focused much on the war in Iraq.”
Palin has actively sought the support of [...]
