more and more people are echoing my sentiments

I'm glad to see that MoveOn had the balls to call out the lame leadership in the Democratic Party for what it is...a bunch of corporate shills that don't know how to fight their way out of a wet paper bag...over the last weekend I pulled out to listen to Neurosis' "A Sun Never Sets"...god what a great band...well anyways, this morning I pulled out their '96 album "Through Silver In Blood"..."Purify" is perhaps one of the most depressing yet intimate tunes on the album...I love how about 8 minutes into the song it all breaks down into this great ride cymbal thing blurred with harrowing distortion and tom hitting then to slowly blend in really skin-crawling bagpipes...what a great band...not to mention their side project Tribes of Neurot who made the most excellent album featuring nothing but the sounds of different insects...now if that's not creative I don't know what is...also on the ride in I pulled out my Ebony Tears album called "Handful of Nothing"...it came out in '99 before all those bands really went ahead and decided to go Gothenburg on us ala At the Gates, etc...anyone else extremely happy that our neighbors to the North think that gay marriage is a-ok?? especially since even the religious-centric Israelis recognize gay couples benefits?...anyone else think our country is just a beacon of racism and bigotry in the mask of religious virtue?...and for those that want to stir up nonsense (read: Rush Limbaugh) about a reporter making the soldier ask the question (he actually merely suggested it and the soldier thought it was a good question), all I have to say is that Rumsfeld's lame ass response doesn't hold up to what the actual company in charge of putting on armor says it can do with no more investment (that is to increase production by 22%!)...but it has to wait for the army to order it to do so...maybe the army is too busy handing out $10 billion to Halliburton...and in a world in which 3.8 million people die in the Congo in only six years I guess it's no wonder that we worry about ridiculous nonsense like terrorists using lasers...oooh they might put bleach in squirt guns next! whatever it's Friday, I should have smiles...
