LOL. Any feedback is welcome.

“This is wonderful site.” Jeez, I sound like a European.
Try, This is A wonderful site.

Somebody oughta make a movie about us. They could call it… It’s a Wonderful Site!

Jane, if you’re ever down, just remember we all thank you every time we write something here.

… Sorry, I misspoke … sort of … luckily, I found the … er, money quote (sorry punaise *g*) –

Politico chief political columnist Roger Simon declared former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney the winner of the June 5 Republican presidential debate and attributed Romney’s victory, in part, to the fact that he is “[s]trong, clear, gives good soundbite, and has shoulders you could land a 737 on.”
He also said earlier of Romney, “… has chiseled-out-of-granite features, a full, dark head of hair going a distinguished gray at the temples, and a barrel chest,” … adding … ” … up close he is almost overpowering. He radiates vigor.” Link

Hey, if that’s all it takes to be a candidate why don’t they find some Hollywood actor hack like Reagan? Glad that strategy works so well. Consider Bush, the alcoholic you’d like to go have a drink with.

May 2008 bring much more to give thanks for!

One of my favorite “angry girl” bands was the Au Pairs. They were well ahead of their times and were unafraid to have lyrics dealing with sexuality or politics (or sexuality and politics).

Lesley Woods is now a barrister in London.

Yeah. Because the band begins with the letter A, it made its way onto digital offa vinyl. That project is still incomplete, but I got that far. Weird cover, with ambiguous hair.

Elastica’s “Stutter” deserves a mention. A very catchy little evil tune.

My dog won tickets to see Lollapalooza here in the city. She composed a limerick that she faxed over to a radio station that included lollaplooza in the rhyme scheme. Much hilarity in the office, because I was out with her when the station called and wanted her to read the entry on the air. And the DJ tossed to the next shift, saying that she given the tickets “to a dog!”

In any case, I’d never heard of elastica, but they were there on one of the side stages, and I fell in love.

It’s too bad that it was only one album’s worth of love, but that’s the business.

I still have my Vaseline tshirt.

BUT

On a more important topic, thanks, Jane for slapping down that stupid Hillary blog promotion sockpuppet thing. I think we’re gonna see a lot of that; there’s one over at Joe Klein’s swampland haunt.

So, please, when you see someone in comments somewhere or advertising an absolutely stupid blogospheric idea and attributing it to Clinton (for now) or the nominee, think twice.
