Which reminds me, I saw a "W 2004" bumper sticker this morning. Really, it should say "WC 2004" to include Cheney, yes? And to clue people in that this would send the country DOWN THE TOILET.

Good morning, penske.

This all probably belongs on Politics, but fuck it...

Read Saturday's NYTimes oped piece (I think its by Kristof) about why Cheney has to go if Bush intends to win. Its not earth shattering, but its pretty funny.

There's also a great flick called "Outfoxed" coming out next week which looks really funny. The producer stuck together two hours worth of Foxnews snippets and internal memos and interviews which show how the network deliberately slants coverage.

I do not know Mogwai very well, I have seen Interpol and the Rapture. At both concerts, I recall thinking how much each band sounds like . . . the Cure. So, if you are into a Cure-a-thon, this is the show for you.

I think the Cure is the "next band to emulate" in the retro/garage rock phenomenon. My wife's a Cure freak, so I bought her the new disc. I never liked the Cure too much (dug a few tunes here and there), but I really like their new record. "The End of the World" probably makes their hardcore old school goth fans cringe, but I defy anyone to find a catchier song this Summer. Its not a bad stab at rehashing "Just Like Heaven", and its kind of refreshing to hear Smith sing something upbeat.

I read an interview with Smith where he seemed an utterly normal, regular guy. He actually had some pretty funny comments about the fact that he's not an unhappy brooding person, but just a normal man who "occasionally wears makeup." I love it when entertainers say shit like this. My favorite is still Neil Young at his Rock and Roll Hall of fame induction saying "Everyone thinks I'm a sad guy, but I'm not... I've been riding in limousines for a long time" or when David Gilmour told the London press "Floyd wasn't that deep... its just pop music."

Good morning, penske.

All the soccer fans would laugh at them. Everyone knows the next WC is in 2006. Silly republicans.

Trying to decide what "pendantic" should mean so that I can make a funny. Anyone?

How about "bite me"?

Damn spell-checker. Oh, inventor of this demon, may you rot in heck! I am (from a spelling perspective) useless without it.

Gently, in the nether regions? Or harder, on the thigh?

Psst. Check posting times. Do you think Penske is an early riser?

NCS Defeats Orange County's Finest in Hamptons Drinking Marathon. OC finalist still "reeling" from the loss.

The City is next on the tour. Watch out all those of unsound tolerance.

Assuming The City means The only City that really matters, I think that Slave and Ironwuss prefer to be referred to as lightweights. Good luck on that, as if you'll need it.

Well, not my life, but the book by Bill Clinton.
Good stories, with a beat you can dance to. I'd give it an 8.

I assume you reviewed this as fiction, no?

Am I supposed to understand this post?

In an ideal world, yes. But I doubt any of us are surprised that you don't.

I agree. Seems fine to me. Live and let live. Just so long as they don't tell me what I can or can't read or can or can't do, they can burn whatever they like wherever they like.

I'd prefer if you don't encourage them to burn them in my living room. I can't afford another insurance claim this year.

Good morning, penske.

Ha! Coincidentally I saw a bumper sticker on Saturday that read:

Mean People Suck!

Then, ironically, I saw a bumper sticker on Sunday that read:

No, You Suck!, Signed, Mean People


LOL! Good on the Mean People for such a quick comeback. I could use writers like that. Anyhoo, so far today those fvcking pussy-ass Anti-Mean People have not responded, to the best of my actual knowledge, information and belief (ymmv), and I think that the smack has come down on them, but I will keep all of all y'all posted. No pun intended.

We should ask his wife/mistress/SO whether he rises in the mornings.
