This must be what he wanted. Been ranting for years to anybody who'd listen that the Reagan Revolution and its aftermath was essentially a matter of the foxes convincing the chickens that they were the only logical choice to manage the henhouse, and the chickens being stupid enough to wholeheartedly agree. The question is, are the chickens going to wise up at some point, or will they parade all the way to the slaughter trumpeting the wisdom of foxkind...? np The Masked Marauders, "More Or Less Hudson's Bay Again" ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2008 11:39:31 +0000 From: Vernon_ Briscoe Subject: RE: [VegFriends] Robyn Hitchcock + Chinese Democracy UPDATES Is it just me or does this boat trip to see the environmental damage at the Pole seem a bit self-induldgent?

This year, more than 148 million viewers in the U.S. watched Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers play at the championship game of American football, the National Football League said on Sunday. Other recent acts have included Prince, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and U2. The most infamous performer was Janet Jackson, who bared her breast during the 2004 event, triggering a crackdown on televised smut. The Super Bowl will be televised by NBC.
