It's from the Huffington Post. I almost feel dirty. But damn if I don't agree with him calling the rest of his party's presidential candidates a bunch of bigots.
My other social networks are public, thus I refrain from posting anything policitcal. But lord did I resist the temptation to retweet this:
TheEconomist Nuclear energy: How abandoning support for nuclear power and pushing for its alternative is even more dangerous http://econ.st/e2NtwV
I think it is required reading. I don't know about you all, but since I work in Energy law... we've been paying a lot of attention to the events in Japan. I hope these 50 volunteers save the day.
- I hate the IRS with a passion that burns with the flame of a thousand desert suns.
- I hate being broke. I make decent money, why does this always happen? (See above Re: Taxes & IRS)
- How the hell did I miss the whole Sunday Sales dying on the Senate Floor because the legislature were pussies when the Christians bowed up on them? Seriously guys, grow a goddamn backbone and pass this crap, I want my beer on a Sunday dammit.
So while wandering the Decatur Square area, and out of sheer caloric fear in avoiding Brick Store, I thought I'd check out one of the new places on the square.
I had some random thoughts about music today. Not really right for the shameless self-promotion social networks, so I'll put them here.
So, in no particular order:
- Dear Lady Gaga. You seem to have a lot of fame for only one album of accomplishment. Please focus more on the production of music over the production of your productions.
- Dear Lady Antebellum. I don't know why you all swept the music snobbery popularity contest. You're not country, you're not pop, you're not even anything resembling original. You're the Nashville equivalent of elevator music. Enjoy your 15 minutes.
- Who the hell is Justin Beiber?
- Dear Cee Lo. I was DJing and saw, sadly on mute, your performance with Gweneth Paltrwo & the Muppets. Awesome. Way to give Elton the nod, and keep up your geek cred. While I really only saw the highlight coverage of the Grammys on the news, I am sure yours was the best part, hands down.
- Dear Eminem. I plan on picking up your new album, I hear great things. Sadly, you still seem to be a sore loser and not well suited for these events. Just respond via satellite and go back to making poignant commercials about Detroit.
- Arcade Fire. I still don't get it. You're an OK band, I have at this point listened to all your work and can only really say I like a sum total of 3 songs. If I want the type of music you allegedly represent in your genre, I'll play the Decemberists or Florence & the Machine, thanks.
So that was nice food for thought. I haven't thought about Egypt at all. Not unless you count the last Brendan Frasier "I hate Mummies" cinematic cheese fest.
