Levin,

I like this. I think more people should call out the partisan Fox reporters on air like this.

The interview,

Here is the whole Feingold interview. Things got a little messed up below so I figured I would put this separately.

Sunday morning,

Feingold was on Meet the Press this morning here is a great write up about it from Daily Kos. Once again he clearly states his case and calls out his fellow democrats for not taking a stand. (These links didn't work so you will have to go to Meet the Press's main page to find the videos) Here is a couple of clips and here is the whole interview (Feingold is on first and his interview runs about 25 minutes).

Here is Bruce Springsteen on Conan the other night signing "Bring them home". This is not the song that Conan sings along in, I think Bruce played more than one song.

The Boss,

Here is a interview with Bruce Springsteen that I think is pretty good. I like when she questions him about musicians speaking out and he throws it back in her face. He could of even took it another step further; why can companies donate to politicians? How is that different than a musician voicing his opinion? I guess it is only bad when you endorse a democrat.

Speaking of Bruce, as I stumbled into bed last night I turned on my television and saw him playing on Conan O'Brien. He is doing his Seeger Sessions tour right now which involves a lot of musicians. So I am watching this as the stage is filled with musicians I see Conan in back playing a guitar and signing along. Later on he went up to the mic and sang with Bruce. God bless that Conan, but he should of stayed behind the desk.

Born to Lose,

Man, when I hit a streak of bad luck it really gives me a swift kick in the balls. Like a year and a half ago when I got laid off, then the next day woke up and had to shove a foot of heavy, wet snow from my driveway. I woke up sick that morning and was so tired that on two occasions I felt like I was going to pass out while shoveling. Why did I shovel the driveway when I should have just laid in bed? Because I had to get my ailing cat to the hospital, which involved a long wait on an uncomfortable bench that I wanted to lay down and sleep on. In the end I had to make a real difficult decision and the cat died (R.I.P. Nero).

Anyways, last Thursday I went to an Admiral game. They played so bad I felt like rooting for the other team. That ended their season. If they would have won that game and the next they would of won the Calder Cup. Then on the way home I hit a skunk with my car (the smell still faintly lingers). Friday I got some bad news about a family member. Then today while putting up a piece of duct in a particularly hard to get to spot, I must of hit the forward button on the lift with my foot and ran into a sprinkler line! Busting it open, spraying brown, smelly water everywhere. Ceiling tiles were falling from the grid like rocks. Once I realized what had happened my first thought was "There just went my job". As more and more people showed up and an alarm went off my despair grew. Luckily it seems I was wrong and still have to wake up at 4:30 tomorrow morning, but we shall see what happens down the road.

Well here's to better tomorrows.

My notebook,

I am mostly putting this link up for me, so when I have time I can read it. I am intrigued by libertarians moving into the progressive camp.

Jerk. Here is the video.

I am getting very frustrated with the backstabbing rats at work. I want to shake them violently and say stop trying to be a slave!

Cocksucking 101

After working some overtime I decided to stop at the bar to wet the whistle with the boys from work. I got to the bar a little later than everyone else and got stuck sitting next to someone I would of preferred not to. For some reason early on this guy gave his views against gay marriage ending it by saying something along the lines of "teaching that in schools and shit". He wasn't really talking to me specifically and for the most part I keep my mouth shut about politics at work knowing I am much farther to the left then any of those rats with (on this job at least) one exception, so I said nothing. But this idea that somehow kids are going to learn how to be gay at school would seem laughable to me if it wasn't so deranged. Now here is my point I am a straight guy who doesn't see how any aspect of a gay relationship would seem enjoyable to me. So for all these people that think that people choose or learn to be gay I have to wonder if they choose to be straight and if their religion wasn't against they wouldn't have any problem with sucking dick themselves. Christians; we would be gay, but the bible says no.

A slave no more,

Last Friday night I realized my refrigerator, after making funny noises for a couple of days, no longer was able to keep the products in my freezer as firm as I demand my frozen food to be. I was also at the beginning of one of those much dreaded summer cold so I just left it for the next day. Saturday I had to work overtime and when I got home the summer cold put me in bed until the early evening. When I woke up I fooled myself in thinking that I was going to go to the store and buy a refrigerator. Then ten minutes later I realized that was just foolish. I was too tired, sick and lazy to leave the house that night. So instead I emptied the occupants of my refrigerator into a garbage bag. At first it was a little depressing to throw unopened food away, but as I started to realize most of the packages in my refrigerator where things that I probably would never actually eat and should have thrown away a long time ago it started to feel therapeutic.

Anyways, Sunday rolls around and I head off to a store known for selling refrigerators (advertising isn't free in Jontown). As I looked through their selection I came across the upside down refrigerators (freezer on bottom) although ideally would of liked to get one of these I realized that they were too expensive for me. Or were they? I found one that was only a little bit higher then what I wanted to pay. As I opened the door the sale was complete as I realized I WILL NEVER HAVE TO BEND OVER TO GET A BEER AGAIN. I am a bottom shelf beer slave no more. The sale was made.

They will deliver the refrigerator tonight and I was so excited that I called in sick to work today. Well maybe it was the summer cold that had me sleeping from four o'clock last night to noon thirty today, letting my strange imagination entertain my slumbering mind with bizarre tales that give me a chuckle as I reflect back on.
