Thanks to everyone over at Harvey's place for consuming sufficient quantities of alcohol to make me feel better. Families are a wonderful thing! *G*
The Cheese Mistress if feeling under the weather go over and leave her a nice message so she gets well faster!
Cool Blue, who never fails to amaze me with his creativity and good sense, should be on your must read list too! Don't miss his analysis of the Dem's reaction to the security briefing today. And then, if you feel like laughing til you cry... check out Star Chores.
Last of all Andrew Sullivan links to this really great interview with John Schaffer, of the heavy metal group, Iced Earth. It's a bit long, but well worth the read and has several gems like this...
BW&BK: "So you don't see the Bush regime as being cultural imperialists? You don't see them as trying to force the American way of life on to a nation that maybe doesn't want it?"JS: "No. If you think that's true, then why are 70 or 80 percent of the people are thrilled to have us there. Have you not seen that? And it's not a regime, by the way. You keep up that kind of language I'm going to end the interview right now."
BW&BK: "Ok. I understand."
JS: "I'm serious."
BW&BK: "I'm sorry. It's just my Canadian bias I guess."
JS: "Yeah, it is your Canadian bias. I'm sure it is."
Now go read the rest. And if you have eyes like mine, you may need bifocals to be able to see the print - I thought it was worth the read anyway. I need to buy at least one of his CD's - who knows, his music might be well worth a listen! Any musician/songwriter who thinks this well should at least get the benefit of me giving his music a chance. *G*
*Whistles*
That's not something you see everyday. Talk about having it handed to you...
