I just read excerpts from Bush's speech last night. Boy am I glad I drank for twelve hours instead of staying sober to listen to that fucking moron ask Congress for all the rest of our money to 'keep America safe from terrorists'.

His party is the one who helped make America unsafe from terrorists in the first place.

When I say I am a coward I am being honest. A coward is someone who knows something wrong is going on and blogs about it instead of giving one's life to help make it right. We are all gonna die. Inaction now will do nothing for the world. I guess I don't do anything because I feel helpless. I will sit on my drunken ass and vote for Howard Dean.

Where are all the people with Jesus complexes when we need them? Where is the Abbie Hoffman of our generation?

Our Lady Peace, Northern Pikes, Blue Rodeo, Tragaically Hip, David Usher, Guess Who, Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman and ofcourse the great Rush. Please Sloth, the heart of rock and roll is in Regina and from what I've seen I believe 'em.........

I think we need to give Bush the 87 Billion dollars. It's too late to turn back now. Even though it seems like a lot of money... that's like $4,000 for every Iraqi citizen isn't it? Let's hope they don't use the money to actually build WMD and destroy us.

Why don't we give the $87 billion to ourselves. It would work out to about $339 for every american. I could buy an 8-ball, a ticket to see BRMC and a couple bottles of Jack Daniels and forget about all those shite bands from Canada that Brett just mentioned.

My computer's been fucked, but I'm glad it was back in time for this thread -- Johnny Depp -- the most delicious eye candy god ever created -- this is my opinion. He's so lovely!!

and Jack

Jack, didn't you get to see Noam Chomsky? I've been checking out one of his books.

Myke, have you ever read Noam Chomsky? I say give him a try. (not the books on linguistics -- I don't know anything about that)

Yeah, I saw him speak here at the university theatre. The man is intelligent beyond words. However his linguistical data suggests that everyone was born with a language learning organ in their brain, which he then goes on to explain that yes, some people are born brilliant, and some people are born stupid because of the size, the placement, and the aptitude of this language learning organ. Most linguists think he's deranged in that matter. However, Chomsky is a great humanitarian, and regardless of race, gender, status in society or religious preference, he believes all people have the inherent right to exist in this world as equals. Equals among diversity, I believe he said. well, gotta go.

Well I don't know about anyone else here but I've never been angrier at Dubya than I am right now.
$87 billion?!?!?! I mean just think for a moment about the fact that even a billion dollars, 1/87 of the figure he said, is a number impossible for many of us to even comprehend. So if you take a number impossible to comprehend, times it by 87, what do you get? Too much goddamn money, that's what.
But that's not all. Do you know I read in the paper today they admitted after his speech that that figure didn't include an EXTRA $55 billion they're going to need but won't ask for until the next fiscal year?

And here's what gets me: $87 billion is more than the amount the states would need to close their budget deficits for 2004: a mere $78 billion. Do we need that fucking money? You bet we do. Do "first reponders" in an emergency need some of that? You bet. He links it all to terrorism, of course. As if everything that could possibly have any connection to Al-Qaida lies within Iraqi borders.

Apparently most Americans are still living in ignorance: a majority in polls say they believe Saddam was connected to the Sept. 11 attacks despite ZERO proof. Never underestimate the ability for a stupid, arrogant sleezball (note the spelling) to mislead a large group of equally stupid people.

Bush is like a baby who pooped in his pants (Iraq war) and is now kicking and screaming for U.N. help despite the fact that he intends to relinquish NO control to the countries he's asking help for. Did I say 'ask'? No, that's too strong a word. All he said in that speech was other countries have an 'opportunity and responsibility' to help. HA! That can easily be read as 'an opportunity and responsibility to do exactly as I say'. He'll never learn. Until he's booted out of office. "Jobless recovery" my ass. He'll never make it. And I'd like to know what kind of recovery is a "jobless recovery" anyway.

End of rant. I'm home sick today with a fever, and I appreciate some of the comic relief, Ooh. I had thought about adding Ken Kesey himself to the bus, but didn't find very good pictures of him online, and then wondered if it was okay to add him to the bus or whether it was just assumed he was already ON the bus because he created the whole concept of BEING "on the bus". In any case it was something I just never followed up on.

God I hate being sick. Maybe I'll get some records in the mail today.

NEW YORK - People magazine has named Johnny Depp the "Sexiest Man Alive 2003," saying the actor, known for his "brooding eccentricities," has mellowed since becoming a father.

"Ah, fuck that!" Said Mav, who thought he should have won. "You move to France and every American automatically likes you. It's a popularity contest, all politics."

Depp, star of this year's "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," has two young children with his girlfriend, French actress and pop singer Vanessa Paradis.

"Because he arrived at his new, happy place without selling out, without becoming slick or packaged or politically correct, he is a hero to his fans and an idol to his young co-stars," People says in its Dec. 1 issue.

People also picked its other Top sexiest men: McCutcheon, Brad Pitt, The Sloth, Ashton Kutcher, Marky, George Clooney, Brett, Lenny Kravitz, Martino, Justin Timberlake, Tommy, Hugh Grant, Jack Chiefton, Russell Crowe, Myke, Hugh Jackman, Denzel Washington, and Colin Farrell.

Sorry, again, Mav.

All well and true, but let us not forget that in addition to shagging a top bird all those years (Liz Hurley) he risked it all to get a blow job from a crack ho in a parked car. As I understand it, that's get on the bus behaviour. As opposed to, say, moving to a foreign country and having a couple of kids and crapping on about world politics. Like me and Johnny Depp.

I once met the producer of Lou Grant (the tv show not the person) He also did some of the writing. He asked me to explain cricket to him. It was a difficult conversation. Everything I described, he wanted to convert into baseball terminology, which at the time I knew nothing about. After about half an hour we both gave up and had another beer. I have never successfully mastered the art of describing cricket, which is something that crops up in my life more than you would reasonably think.

Yes, Hugh had the Liz. A bird, sadly, Mav never had the pleasure of shagging. (unlike me ya know- I was her Hugh rebound, yes used and abused- but I ain't complaining.)

Sorry, Mav. But there is only so much Liz to go around. Now for D. Brown the crack whore, I've been told by her advocate that Mav's been all in the hole. She sent me an email (the lawyer that is) saying that Mav knows how to bat with his little Wicket (sp?) (Crack ho's defense attorneys don't know how to spell British sports appendages.) And Tommy you might like to know that the last time I saw Linda, last night, -and who I know is reading this- well, she was yelling at me for some reason, and stormed off.

Then in an absolutely bizarre occurrence three astoundingly beautiful girls hit on me as I was walking home. One girl even pulled her car over and jumped out. She took me to Taco Bell. But I was Ã¢â‚¬Ëœtoo drunk' to do anything, her words, to do anything, so I was left alone in the Taco Bell parking lot. What did she want? I was perfectly fine to eat a fish taco in the snow.

As always, I blame Sloth for everything. Except for Mav's inability to shag Liz. I think that

Sorry, again, Mav. let me try that again. Unsteady as she goes and all that.

As always, I blame Sloth for everything. Except for Mav's inability to shag Liz. I think that fault lays solely on his confederate shoulders.

last night i was DJing and Sloth asked, is that Fishbone? I said no, that is Wire. Is that why Linda spit in my eye and told me to die? Because Sloth doesn't know his Ideal Copy from his Bonin' in the Bone Yard?

I just can't get myself to like Hugh Grant. I don't like the way he comes across in films, I guess. What does Mav think? Does Hugh Grant really have any talent or was he just in the right place at the right time? Liz doesn't do much for me, either.

McC, you're not speaking of the Linda I'm thinking of are you? Maybe not since you say Tommy knows her...

Funny you mention Fishbone, I was thinking of them just recently, remembering a small gig they played in my hometown years ago. I never liked them, I only went to see the opening band. I'm tempted here to say "Wire fucking rule!" but their new stuff is really disappointing, if not embarassing and in all truth, it depends on what part of their career you're talking about. My favorites are "Chairs Missing", "An Ideal Copy" and "A Bell Is Struck..." no...it's the one about the cup and bell being struck, what the hell is the name of that album?? Okay I've got it now "A Bell Is A Cup Until It Is Struck", that's it. Very few artists in the history of the world have weirder lyrics than Wire. I defy anyone to pin down what the hell they're on about. Go "ahead", call them arty farty.
