I have seen Chris Matthews,Tim Russert, and Tucker asshole Carlson recently as well as both McCain Clinton and Obama within the last couple of months.

A few others from pundit news, but I go to school and eat out in D.C., so that is not unusual.

I'm not familiar with most of them except bits and pieces. I'm not much of a science fiction geek as far as movies go. The closest I come is owning all the post-apocalyptic science fiction Mad Max DVD's.

Bikini Kill - suck my left one

That's just for starters, and the first thing that came to mind.

Not really a rebel son but I've always felt close to "It Ain't Me Babe"

The Joan Baez version. ;)

@Ryan, I understand the situation you face, though I am not you and can't exactly put myself in your place. I go to Georgetown and surprisingly, or not, there are quite a few gay hate crimes, a lot of gay bashing, or just plain harassment of the gay community there. I myself was surprised, coming from NYU where I saw none of that at all. It is kind of another world, and to think it is at a fairly large university of supposedly educated individuals is even the more distressing. If ignorance can't be dispelled in the land of those who have at least a decent intelligence what hope is there for anyone. I think it clouded your judgment here though, he would have gone next week if not this past week - just looking at the singers from my non-expert point of view.

I personally didn't really know that singer was gay, I'm rather new to this whole idol thing, and I didn't think he was very good the other night, though as I said that other girl should ha gone first.

I never thought David Hernandez was any good, his voice sounded weak to me always. He m ight be a much better stripper.

I thought that girl who sang that awful rendition of Eight Days a Week should have gone though, and I wish she would do something about her stance - it is painfully obvious she rides horses all the time.

Eight Days a Week was painful to listen to.

"Apparently, that was a mistake. :) I have been given the "thumbs down" dozens of times, been sent hate mail, had people report me for Youtube, etc" Lordy.

"In order to "respect the past" you have to have the knowledge or experience of that time first. Most people don't. I see this in many fields besides music and art. It's especially in politics, writing and much foreign policy."

I believe that if you are borrowing you know it comes from somewhere and it is your responsibility to acknowledge that. Music fans often don't have a clue so it may not be their fault which is the root of their wrong mindedness.

I think you know an original when you see or hear it, though that too is subjective.

I believe the young boy one will win, though I loved the performance of Hallelujah last night, I think that the people who vote on that thing will vote for that little kid.

WTF I had to sign in to see it and I rarely sign in to you tube.

I have very liberal parents as architects and artists usually go and I think they might have freaked out a bit at this.

I could see the conversation now.

Parents:WTF WAS THAT?

ME:Artistic expression

Parents:Exactly how is that artistic expression?

ME:Expressin myself, life through art/dance ya know.

Parents:What exactly were you expressing? If you can explain to us the experiences you have had in life that would enable you to use those moves to express yourself feel free to do so, until then get your ass off that dance floor while we beat the fucking shit out of that perverted dance instructor.

Bikini Kill

Bad Religion

Plain White T's

I'm sure there are hundreds, depending on the day.

The End is a clear winner, but
"The Lights Will Stay On" by the Walkabouts is pretty good.

This second: Joss Stone, Lita Ford, Annie Lenox

all time so far:

Aretha
Ella Fitzgerald
Sarah Brightman

Lola hands down.

Usually I hang up.

I don't think you have to visit website intentionally to hear such nonsense entertainment news, it's shoved in everyone's face twenty-four hours a day on supposedly "real news sites and television channels as well. It's a headliner at the "Huffington Post" for god sake, how sad.

I don't know anything a bout the parenting of the Spears gang but obviously something was missing there, and some dysfunction took its place.

I'll be back to do this later. I have a crew of people waiting for me to exhibit my skills at making gingerbread cookies from a package.

It will also give me time to look around and see what I want to choose. I'm sure we could all choose at least a hundred.

Both excellent choices, so far though.

I saw the Omega Man though not the other film made to the book, and I heard there is as much disappointment at this as their was at Omega Man. At least for those who read the book, and were hoping for more.

I've read the book and now am not sure I'll see the film, or at least I won't rush to see it. They re-shot the ending I hear. Maybe they should have left the original, though I don't know if it was truer to the book or not.

I was told by a couple of friends who did bother to see it late last night not to go and to see Atonement instead.

I may see it anyway.

"You talkin' to me?"

or "it rubs the lotion on the skin".

used to be Is everybody gay? Is this a Twilight Zone? tended to be used by students of all sexual orientations when going out in the city, and then just got adopted into everyday talk.

@ kami: I worte a whole post around Blow Job Queen(Flower) a long time ago. Exile in Guyville is something I always buy for friends who haven't listened to her.

Yea, I watched HBO first look and it looks good enough to see.

On a Monday though I'm not dealing with the weekend movie traffic, they have been selling pre-release tickets for opening weekend at most theaters in this state.

@ Bartoneus: yes, yes, they TMBG, I forgot them but where I went to school they were almost mainstream.

The Walkabouts - I posted a vid on my blog last week and no one had ever heard of them.

I still listen to Fugazi.

They actually play Amos Lee here, but he is almost local, so that may be why.

This is one of those stuck in the head songs for me.

Oh, you don't know how much. I was just looking through the new scene here thinking too bad Rich is missing...

I waited years to read "The Awakening", when I finally read it this past year I was not as enamored with it as I expected to be.

Finished in the last couple weeks:
The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism,/em>

The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth from 9/11 to Katrina

Secrets Of Women: Gender, Generation, and the Origins of Human Dissection

I Love Female Orgasm: An Extraordinary Orgasm Guide

Infidel

I picked up a couple books at a yard sale this weekend, may read them they cost a quarter so it can't hurt. Gilgamesh and The Barbary Plague

Gloria Estefan's version of "Conga"

also "Turn the Beat Around" or most of the stuff she did with the Miami Sound Machine

"You Dropped a Bomb on Me" - Gap band.

God, I love her.

I could barely get through it but MTV is surely worthless.

I have found mostly men calling Britney fat is always surprised me when women do it. Her wieght is the least of her problems.

Women are their own worst enemies.

I never watch MTV or such but form what you all said Britney was not put together any less well than most performances or the show itself.

I never listened to her but that song is not half bad if you listen to it.

They need to leave her alone either way.

Poor thing.

US Open Tennis.

I don't read web comics. The closest I come is A Softer World already linked above, and A beautiful Revolution

Stop treating seventeen and eighteen years olds like fragile china. That which does not kill them will make them stronger.
I dislike beauty pageants anyway and now I despise them. To bad for her, but she did gain some notoriety from it. With our luck she will probably get a reality show.

I happen to agree with Right On, and am so far left from his ideology it isn't funny.

No one was asking her a difficult question. A second grader should have been able to answer that question better than she did.

This was not a goof up it was a wake up call.

I actually posted this on my site after seeing it here.

The girl has had to have spoken somewhere in order to get as far as she did.

People make fun off all types of things on the internet, some of it is shameful. In this case everyone is making fun of a girl who trains for this kind of thing all year long. A Seventeen year old is not delicate little flower. She will not have longstanding psychological issues from this; she may even learn to speak and learn a few new words. She may learn the difference between South Africa, Asia and Iraq.

That would be a good thing because if she ever decided to compete for Miss Universe she might know a little bit about the countries in the universe.
