MY NEW HERO!!!
Excuse me for being a month or so behind, but Molly and I just caught a half hour of America's Got Talent for the first time last night and were exposed to BOBBY BADFINGERS!!! Holy shit, this guy's got it all. Dumbass name, huge fucking moustache, and the silliest "impress chicks at a bar at 2 in the morning" kind of talent I've ever seen!

NEW MUSIC 8.9.06
ANI DIFRANCO * REPRIEVE
Recorded in New Orleans, before Katrina hit and then finished in New York, this album seems to have Ani more in a "focused" mood than the previous attempts. Both the songwriting and music come together and strengthen the entire process...plus she gets a lil' political again, which is always nice...
MILLENNIUM THEATER
millennium theater
get out there and buy that water and gas
Ramadan orange alert
everybody put on your gas mask
first leak it out about the president
then stand up and shout "impeachment"
pulling coat tails out from under that little V.P.
before he has a chance to get in the driver's seat
millennium spectacle
everybody put on a show
slip a little prince in the back door
21st century here we go
digital whiplash
so many formats so little time
while out in TV nation
under darkening skies
the resistance is just waiting
to be organized
millenium theater
chief justice is for sale
yucca mountain goddesses
their tears they form a trail
trickle down Israel
patriarchies realign
the ice caps melt
and new orleans bides her time
new orleans bides her time
ladies and gentlemen
welcome to tonight's show
the millennium theater
asks that you not smoke
please turn off your cell phones
and forget what you think you know
SPOON * TELEPHONO & SOFT EFFECTS (EP)
Their first releases are back in print and allow people like me who didn't get into them until their more recent albums to proclaim, "Dude you gotta hear their earlier work!" Cause that's how you know the real fans from the fakers. (Honestly, it's not a bad debut...has a sort of "Urge Overkill" feel to it. The early Urge Overkill, that is. Back before they sold out. :)

BORAT AND THE UPTIGHT LIBERALS WHO NEED TO HAVE SEX CRIMES PERFORMED AGAINST THEM.
"Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan"
Besides having the greatest movie title in the history of cinema, the new trailer makes it look even funnier than I imagined it would be. (He brings a suitcase of chickens onto the New York subway?!)
LAUGH, LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF
But a quick glance of one of my daily liberal blog reads has them in disgust at the whole thing. Mainly, at this article:
*****
In the film — during which the main character becomes overwhelmed by a desire to marry Pamela Anderson, the former Baywatch star — Borat goes to buy a car and asks a dealer whether a Humvee would be suitable for running over gypsies.
In another scene Borat insists on driving to California, instead of flying, “in case the Jews repeat their attack of 9/11”. In another scene, Baron Cohen, who is himself Jewish, is shown spitting out food given to him by the Jewish owners of a bed-and-breakfast because he believes it may be poisoned. He tells Alan Keyes, a black presidential candidate, he has a “chocolate face”.
While Kazakhstan may be the butt of Borat’s jokes, his interviewees often come off even worse, lured into betraying extreme or idiotic views. In one scene Borat is at a rodeo discussing homosexuals with an older man in rancher-style clothes, and says: “They hang ’em in our country.” The man replies: “That’s what we’re trying to do here.”
At another point, Baron Cohen, naked in a hotel room, catches the fat actor playing his producer, also nude, looking at a magazine containing pictures of Anderson. A wrestling contest ensues, with the fat producer sitting on Baron Cohen’s face.
Matt Dentler, producer of the South By South West film festival, who has seen an early version of the film, said: “This naked hairy male chase ends up coming into a giant marketing convention with 200 suited and tied people, screaming ‘call the cops’ and throwing them to the ground.”
While the Borat film was being made, George Matthews Marshall from Natchez, Mississippi, was tricked into holding a dinner party for Borat and a large black prostitute.
Marshall said that, while Borat was fondling the woman, the comedian tried to lure him into making pro-slavery and anti-Jewish comments.

Just look at these comments it spawned:

How about if he used the Humvee to run over Palestinians?
Would you laugh if your family was from Uzbekistan?
Is this really the type of "humor" the world needs right now?

Ugh. If there's one think that drives me absolutely bonkers about liberals, it's the "Must always be uber politically correct and not laugh at anything at the expense of others." I mean, get the stick out of your asses and laugh motherfuckers!!! Running gypsies over with a Humvee...that's funny! Unless you're the poor, defenseless gypsies.
...SOB! I feel so sorry for those poor souls.

BEST LETTER TO THE EDITOR EVER...
It's not often that I read a letter to the editor and think to myself, "Damn, I wish I'd written that." But this one is so good, so direct and filled to the brim with truth...it makes me want to send the person who wrote it a fruit basket or something...

AT LEAST HE WAS ABLE TO FINISH "MY PET GOAT."
There are some things that I will never be able to "forgive and forget" the current Administration for. The entire response (or lack of) for Hurricane Katrina, lying about Iraq and Weapons of Mass Destruction, and my favorite, using 9-11 to paint themselves as "heroes." Telling the American public that they should re-elect Republicans because they "will keep us safe." Because we all know, that in the time of crisis, our leaders were asked to make some hard decisions and did so with the grace and honor bestowed upon them.
...no, just kidding. They hid underground and read children's books. Then, later on, made up shit to give the impression that they were up to the task of saving American lives.
Read this and weep.

NO ONE WORRY, OUR PRESIDENT IS IN COMPLETE CONTR...OL.
Well...the good news is that...no...there is no good news...
We're all fucked.
In this combination photo, President Bush reacts as he stumbles while walking off Air Force One after returning to Andrews Air Force Base, Md., Monday, July 31, 2006. (AP Photos/Haraz N. Ghanbari)
AW, POOR CASTRO...
Not only is he dying but Drudge chooses to run this photo of him. Look at him! He's the dictator of an entire county and he looks like someone stole his lollypop...
