Obama groove

The lyrics are kinda cheesy. But, it's funny. The video is funny. And, honestly, by the end of the song, I was tapping my toe and digging the horn lick.

out and about again

I'm in Connecticut right now visiting Krystal. She's in the middle of some intense work here and will be gone Sunday through Friday nights for a few weeks. So, this weekend, I came up here and we're gonna go to Vermont for the weekend. Leaf-peeping and cheese tasting are on the itinerary.

If you're planning to break into my house while I'm gone, to steal my gear or pet my kitties, you'll have to get through this dude first:



The leaves that I saw when I flew in over Hartford were absolutely amazing! There were still a lot of green grass pastures (that or I just flew in over one of the largest golf courses in the world). But, the trees are the brightest red, orange and yellow! It was beautiful.

I can't wait for the drive up to VT. We've got GPS and a few iPods full of good travel jams. I'm looking forward to a driving trip. Krystal and I have such busy lives lately. It'll be nice to just sit for a spell and get some good hang time. We're staying at a B&B in Jamaica, Vermont. I'm not a big B&B kind of guy. I don't care much for lace and "country" style anything. But, it's about all they have for accomodations and it's a roof over our heads. Sounds like it's gonna be cold up there! I'm gonna walk to the mall in Milford, CT today and buy a scarf while Krystal is at work.

We'll be back to CT on Monday morning and then I'm going to Chicago on Tuesday for the Elephant 6 Holiday Surprise tour's stop in the Windy City. There are rumors that Jeff Mangum will show up and maybe play something. He joined them in NYC and sang some BGV's on an OTC and a Elf Power song. We'll see. I'm stoked either way.

I guess I better get out of bed and get on with my day.

See ya when I see ya.

More embarrassing nonsense from your fellow Americans

I hope that President Obama can get something done about education in this country.

Old people

John McCain has been a perfect example of the vast distance in the generation gap currently creeping slowly across time. The internet is honestly the demarcation point between old people and the new generation. Hell, I barely made it. I didn't have more than a couple of computers at my high school. But, I caught up eventually. My parents did, too. But, the generation just a little older than my parents (who are admittedly pretty young to have a 34 year old son) seems a little reluctant.

McCain can't use the internet. He doesn't use e-mail. Can you even imagine that?

And, now, AC/DC has decided that iTunes and digital downloads are just some passing fad designed to get someone (other than them) rich:

"Maybe I'm just being old-fashioned, but this iTunes, God bless 'em, it's going to kill music if they're not careful," lead singer Brian Johnson, 61, told Reuters.

AC/DC, formed by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young in 1973, is among only a handful of musicians to refuse to put their music on the popular download website in a move that Johnson defended as a bid to protect the album format from the Internet's emphasis on buying single songs.

"It's a...monster, this thing," he said. "It just worries me. And I'm sure they're just doing it all in the interest of making as much...cash as possible. Let's put it this way, it's certainly not for the...love, let's get that out of the way, right away," he said.

In a not at all surprising twist, the newest AC/DC album, Black Ice, which is sure to be craptastic, will only be available at Wal Mart and Sam's Club. Because if anybody is in it "for the love", it's Wal Mart!

a Hateful message

The fact that John McCain seems content to let his followers go on believing nonsense is the truest indication that this man has ZERO integrity.

An historically corrupt ticket!

Now that Palin has been found to have abused her power as Governor in Alaska, the McCain/Palin ticket is the first in American history in which both candidates were found to have violated ethics standards before a national election.

McCain, of course, for his role in the Keating 5 savings and loan scandal in the 80s and Palin for her abuses of power related to the "Troopergate" scandal.

Bravo! I wouldn't expect anything less from the modern day Republican party.
At least neither of them were ever community organizers!

What we're up against.

Seriously. Take a look at these videos. Now, I'm sure that we could dig around and find plenty of examples of liberal activists acting like fools. But, these are just the average, everyday voters that are turning out to these McCain/Palin rallies.

This is pretty alarming. These people are clearly detached from reality. And, they're like a wounded wild animal. They're dangerous.

Enjoy:



Get a job! Go to Russia! You commie faggots!

European Socialist!



It really blows my mind how immature and petulant and disrespectful the McCain/Palin supporters are to the Obama/Biden supporters. It's both laughable and sad how the Obama supporters seem so interested in having a discussion and actually talking about issues, while the McCain supporters will just rattle off a few key words that they don't understand and then laugh with each other and turn their backs.

"Obama is a terrorist!" "ACORN is responsible for the financial collapse!" ?!?!?!
"Is Obama American? I don't know what he is. Just listen to his name!"

I can't help believing that this is the result of an intentional dumbing down of an entire population of people in a deliberate attempt to create a society of easily-marketed-to robot droids who will never really question anything.
