Ya know, though I just opined on Loud-Fans against discussing politics on that list... this just makes me think about how the U.S. left's favorite pastime throughout history is pointless infighting. Yes, Obama/Biden isn't going to bring about the systemic changes that I sure as heck would like to see, but I can pull the lever / push the button (Frank) / puncture the chad for them with far fewer misgivings than I did when I voted for Dukakis, B. Clinton twice, and Kerry four years ago (and yes, I voted Nader over Gore - my state was hopelessly in the Bush camp, and I never could stomach the pre-post-presidential-run version of Gore). And while U.S presidential politics is still the lesser-of-evils shell game, the last eight years ought to have taught us that it can mean life or death - literally so for far too many of us - that we get the lesser evil elected.

It's all ripped (and a lot of the really worthwhile stuff sold to the stores already) and backed up, so no worries there. Some may fault me for the form in which I preserved them (mere mp3's, albeit ripped at 320), but it's more than sufficient for me. I'm still adjusting to this new screen name of yours.

Word, word, word. Except that my Nader vote was facilitated by the fact that my state was so fully in the *Gore* camp. Did I ever tell Feg about my Mike Mills dreams?

Oh, you're missing the point - which is that our great country, a mere cable guy, disadvantaged by his lack of sleeves, is able to rise by sheer dint of effort (and what the fuck is "dint" anyway) to the lofty position of "health inspector" (lemme guess: this involves the health particularly of breasts and female genitalia).

As long as I don't demonstrate Jay Tarses, we'll be o.k. Never liked that man's shows, not like the critics did. The other day, I thought of a Jay Tarses for the '90s and for the 2000s, but I didn't get enough sleep last night and can't remember who I thought was analogous (i.e., creator of TV shows that weren't as smart as they thought they were, nor as smart as critics made them out to be) . It could have been David E. Kelley for the '90s, but I think he's more of a purveyor of shows that not only fool people into thinking that the shows are smart, but fool the shows' fans into thinking that they're smarter than they are for watching the show. yeah, long sentences!, Miles - -- now with blogspot retsin! http://readingpronunciation.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2008 07:06:39 -0700 (PDT) From: Poem Lover Subject: REAP Paul Newman. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2008 08:13:18 -0500 From: Steve Schiavo Subject: Also at Pitchfork - - Steve ______________________ Zermatism dictates that government can never be populated with anything other than filthy boil-stricken thieves, toothless whores bursting with gonorrhea, closet grave robbers, and drooling Satanists that laugh as they pull wings off flies. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2008 09:49:00 -0500 From: michael wells Subject: Reap Paul Newman, 83 http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/sep/27/paulnewman.usa I was overseas when David Foster Wallace kicked it.
