Today is kind of like Christmas to the religion of Eco freaks and hippies. And yes it is a religion, because to believe a lot of the nonsense that these people spout off about, you have to have a lot of faith. Above is just a few examples of what this movement is really all about.

I celebrated earth day by sitting in my parked truck with the engine running, air going full blast, eating my non free range chicken sandwich, drinking from a non biodegradable styrofoam cup, as I listened to right wing talk radio.

The Sound Of My Youth

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080416/music_nm/subpop_dc_1;_ylt=ApqrHTCctLQicWXK2WKNaakE1vAI

Sub Pop Records celebrates its 20 anniversary this month. This is the label that signed all those Seattle grunge type bands back in the 80’s, which turned into a phenomenon in the 90’s. Sub Pop along with IRS records was arguably two of the most important record labels of the modern era. (Think Motown and Stax for rich white college kids.)

In other music news, I picked up the Allison Krause/Robert Plant album Raising Sand yesterday. One of the best albums I have heard in the past year. Of course Allison Krause could do an album of Yiddish throat music and it would sound great. Add the raspy “voice of the gods” in Plant, the production genius of T-Bone Burnett, and the songs of Tom Waits, Towns Van Zandt, Sam Phillips and many more and it makes for one of the most pleasant listening experiences you will have.

Obama The Hate Monger

It’s looking more and more like Obama has a lot more in common with Preacher Wright then he has let on. But at least he is showing his true colors. His comments in San Francisco last week show what kind of utter contempt that Obama and more importantly the Democratic Party has for working class people. The man basically called me, my family, most of my friends and neighbors ignorant, racist, gun toting, Jesus freaks.

This man and his party as well as the Republicans are so out of touch with the American people that I fear anything other than a third party revolution will result this great country turning into a cesspool of European Socialism and Marxism.

Every time a left leaning politician talks it seems like they are trying to make me feel guilty about not needing a government hand out. Like I must be doing something to wrong because I’m not on welfare, or take food stamps. I’m just one of the stubborn agitators who just wont except that the government knows what’s better for me than I do.

It really is time for change, but not the change Obama, Clinton, or McCain want to force on us.

The African Qustion

George W. Bush has wasted more money in Africa than any sitting president to date. And that is saying a lot considering his predecessors. Remember back in the 80’s when it was hip to get a bunch of rich musicians together to record songs about starving Ethiopians? They raised a bunch of money also. And much like our own government, at the end of the day the money, once allocated could not be accounted for.

I have read that for every dollar in aid sent to an African country, up 99 cents is put directly in the pocket of some warlord or corrupt ruler. Why then should we continue to waste money in this bottomless pit of despair? Because this is the United States, we are Americans and this is what we do. And more importantly it is a politically necessary.

Dub’ya has spent more than Bubba. Bubba spent more than Daddy Bush, Daddy Bush spent more than The Gipper, The Gipper spent more than the Peanut Farmer and McCain will spend more than Dub’ya. And for all the good this money does we could have just used it as toilet paper, flushed it and got a better use out of it.

It is still hip for famous people to try and help Africa. Bono, Angelina and Brad, Madonna, and the names go on and on. Bono is probably the most sincere about it. His debt relief proposals are sound. Besides why hang tons of debts on countries that will never be able to pay it back because of their insistence on staying in the dark ages? But most just use the plight of the African continent as a backdrop for self-promotion. Or in Madonna and Angelina’s case, use African orphans like Gucci bags, just accessories to be used for photo ops.

Between the constant wars, famine and the AIDS epidemic, the Dark Continent will suffocate under it’s on weight within a few decades. And no amount of money will help this. But we will still send it because this is the United States, we are Americans and we will try to help, no matter how futile the cause.

Kids These Days…

Who ever said kids today are not motivated should take a gander at these “little angles”.

I think we are looking at this the wrong way. Look at the leadership skills these little snot nosed bastards possess at such an early age. We should be rewarding these "miracles of life" for having the intellect and qualities is takes to plan a murder.

Pictures From The Past

While going through a box of old junk last night I came across an old picture of myself my friend Eric and a very concerned looking Bill Clinton who we were shaking hands with.

Anyway, Eric has a web site. You had better check it out
