I FINALLY sent that letter to a minister today.

Sometimes things take me a while.

And now instead of making the subject line: “Hello [NAME]!” … I
realize I should have titled it “Kick the Merchants Out of the Temple
and Install Some WiFi.”

I knew I held onto that letter for a month for a reason. Now I’ll
never get the chance. But that’s what blogs are for. Apparently.

Does this happen to you? I have had this conversation on AIM about 4 times today.

me: make sure they know X
them: ok, i’ll tell them Y
me: no, tell them X
them: gotcha, will let them know z.
me: are my im’s coming thru?
them: yes, last thing you said was to tell them W
me: is this thing on?

If I’m going to post more often here, there’s gonna be a lot of bitching.

Very happy to be working from home today. Maybe this way I’ll be able
to make some headway on stuff. I know people say they can’t get things
done at home, but I think I’m actually much more productive.

Also happy to be trying out a post via email. If you’re reading this,
give thanks to MorrisonFilm.com.

Picked up Cat Power’s Jukebox yesterday. I dl’d it from eMusic … a good number of the early reviews made it clear that I shouldn’t actually spend money on it, as there were a lot of cyber-snickers about it being remarkably mediocre. However, I’m here to tell you that it’s a strong record from an artist in her prime.

Is it the revelation that her previous album was? Absolutely not. But it’s a covers record … what do you expect? You have to judge an album on the grounds which it is constructed (for instance, this would be the worst trip-hop album ever … good thing it isn’t making an attempt to be one). This may not be the album that critics wanted her to make, but it’s a solid follow up to a career-making album.

If you like Cat Power’s sultry, smoky, wounded warble … and lots of reverb, this is definitely worthwhile purchase. The opening track, “New York,” saves the song from the grips of Sinatra and coffee commercials everywhere … listen for yourself below. It’s followed by the lone new original song on the record, a heartfelt ode to Dylan: the power that the man and his music holds for Chan. I also recommend her cover of “I Believe in You” from Dylan’s Jesus period (but, much like good old Jeezy Creezy, you’ll have to find that one on your own).

I submit to you, the American Public, that Hillary Rodham Clinton has been a consistent user of steroids and/or HGH and should be suspended for the next 45-60 primaries. I heard about this from source who prefers to remain anonymous and has been granted full immunity, so I know their story is legit.

For my evidence, please look at this photo of Hillary in her youth, versus this recent photo.

Note the swelling of the head, as well as the irritability.

This would also explain her ability to throw heat at Barack Obama at this late stage of her political career.

Roid Rage would also explain her “crying” fits, as well as her campaign’s obnoxious position that voting to fund soldiers constitutes “supporting the war” … giving her and Obama “the same record” on the subject. Obviously he wouldn’t have voted for the war, considering the speeches he made at the time. That’s not in question. It’s a ridiculous, academic response to the fact that she (and most of the US) made an awful mistake that Obama didn’t have the opportunity to make.

Finally, it might account for her inability to apologize for that vote to go to war in the first place.

Really, that’s all I want.

Oh and anyone who isn’t named Bush or Clinton to be president.
