Hmm, Axl didn't have much influence on hair metal except to turn off the lights after everybody left; he didn't have much hair; GNR didn't play metal. It was 1990 before they had much success, and I'm not even touching the poet part. What were we talking about again?

HAY STELLA!!!

Many times I've pushed on through foreboding terrain with burning quads, sustained by the knowledge that sauce will thicken upon standing.

Come on smoke Won't you rise and curl To the top of this hill Where the cool breeze spills Now that it's dusk Someone drive them off the street Let the pavements cool Come on now So come on love And lay your body down, next to mine 'Cause what we're longing for has withered in the light Come on darkness Lay your body down on us We've been calling you for so long now We're weary of your name Come on blackness Let me breathe you in 'Cause with this clattering and din we are calling you Brother, have you got a smoke Or baby, have you got a dime Seems like we're all a little down on our luck Well pay me if you're workin' now out in Bakersfield At some honky-tonk they call the Wagon Wheel You feel swept and you feel rolled away So come on darkness, I need you today Come on blackness, let me breathe you in 'Cause with this clattering and din I am calling you Come on darkness

She's a man, baby!

In any case, I'm having a hard time getting my feelings hurt by the fact that the left isn't marching in lockstep behind Moore. Despite the increasingly open disdain for it expressed by right wingers these days, dissent is a good and crucial thing.

Apparently everybody but you

The cool thing is that Gene Simmons has this day every day. I saw him say so on VH1

I used to wonder why on earth somebody'd get banned just for arguing against bolts.

Wait! What you're looking for is whois on the domain name.

Nope, just fulfilling my duties. Too much time on Gerald's nearly incomprensible but bafflingly cool blog.

Hopefully this year Lance will make it on the like three magazine covers he wasn't on last year.

Dude I so fuckin mad agree with you! Matt Rocks! Fuck hoodies anyway brah, they're so two years ago.

Are you wearing a "what would saddam do" bracelet this morning? The biggest comfort to these enemies is probably whatever brings us closer to their holy war. So if you want to play obtuse word games, Bush is providing more "aid and comfort" than Moore.

But on deck, in case SZ lulls into another "roots" mood: New Xiu Xiu.

Tenure committees don't care about publishing. You have to publish to impress grant committees, in order to get projects funded so you can hire GAs, so you can have time to serve on faculty committees. That's what earns you tenure. If you're discreet, you can look at pictures of the mountains on your PDA during the meetings. Community colleges reward good teaching, and you can actually leave work at work. Not much prestige in that racket, though.

Aw, please? Because it's a widely held view that Bush can't demonstrate coherent thought without someone else writing it and coaching him on it, while Clinton could consistently articulate complicated ideas off the cuff, often in more detail than in his speeches.

Saw it, enjoyed it. It didn't say anything I wasn't already generally aware of, but as entertainment for liberals it was good filmmaking. I'm amused at folks who act like they're geniuses by faulting MM's work--you'd have to be a fanatical muckraker or pathetically bored to pay attention to him, if you don't generally agree with his views in the first place. Likewise, he's not much of a prophet, and much less an evangelist. I guess it shows how polarized we've become. And we all know that conservatives are to blame for that

I have a feeling that even after all the changing stations are eradicated, that dude still won't get laid.

Note to self: foreplay
