You've got to be kidding
"Some, I know, have questioned the global appeal of liberty," he said, "though this time in history, four decades defined by the swiftest advance of freedom ever seen, is an odd time for doubt. We go forward with complete confidence in the eventual triumph of freedom."

This is it
Today is the day. That snotty, smirky president will begin withdrawing his political capital today when he takes the ole oath of office. I understand he's going to pledge to unify the country. God bless 'im, I figured he would voice that, the biggest of his lies. Of course his idea of unification is for us to go along with whatever he says or we're causing the riff or supporting terror or particiapting in some sort of anti-American act by not nodding passively. I'm looking forward to seeing some video later today. I can't wait to see how smug he looks up there as the first wartime president to almost blow an election rather than as a president whose legitimacy was doubted by many. This whole Bush presidency is so comicly tragic that I almost anticipate the Southpark Satan to show up today with his boyfriend Saddam.

Howdy
Just a few thoughts:
On that Fox show where the wives switch homes do the husbands get to screw their temporary wives? Under the right circumstances that would be cool.
When you wake up at five a.m. the world is nearly silent and you can hear every car door and wind-blown leaf and the purring of the cat laying in your crotch.
It sure is fun to ignore a friend who is hollering at you across a parking lot. All the people around you think he is yelling at no one. I love that.
Why is it when someone's bill at a store or restaurant comes to $6.66 that it is considered a topic for general discussion? Hey lady, keep your superstitions to yourself, please.

Ug Umgowa
I've said before and I'll say it again. Being sick sucks balls. Sometimes you get one of those annoying little colds and you might take a day off from work so you DON'T INFECT YOUR CO-WORKERS (what a novel idea!) but this time I felt myself getting sick so I left work early and prepared myself for a day or two of respite and heavy snot flow. The virus had other plans. That motherfucker laid me out for about three days. You know that sensation of having to cough but not wanting to because when you do it feels like someone is shoving a chainsaw down your throat? Yeah, I had that. Thank god I had about 1/3 of season 2 of Futurama to watch. I was incapable of doing anything other than watching the tube and daytime TV is truly shit when you have basic basic cable.
For the first time I watched a few minutes of the Teletubbies. That is some spooky-ass shit. I saw that during my especially dazed period so I'm not sure if what I saw was real. I even watched a little of Jerry Springer for the first time in years. There's nothing new I can say about that show except its standard of shittiness has not changed in the couple of years since the last time I saw it.
But I feel better now. Now I'm just stuffed up and will cough for a week. My four days of misery did work in the favor of my kitties. Every time I went under I woke up covered in cats.
New Music
Recently I realized that I haven't really been doing any music exploration. Two bands I've come across in the last week that have me intrigued: The Fiery Furnaces and TV on the Radio. I've downloaded a few tracks and a couple of purchases may be in order.

Good deed of the day
Yesterday while driving I saw on my right a dog trotting down the sidewalk dragging his leash behind him. Through a small grove a trees I saw a ten-year-old kid running and looking around and it was obvious he was panicking and looking for something. I came to a stop at light I was approaching, honked twice quickly in order to get the boys attention. When he looked my way I motioned behind me with my right hand toward the dog. He looked to his left, saw the dog, grabbed the leash and then waved at me in thanks. I felt good about that all day. In fact, I still feel good about that.
Music
This was a good week for music. On Wednsday I saw Jason Isbell of the Drive By Truckers do a solo acoustic show at the Evening Muse. A picture follows.
On Friday at the Evening Muse I saw Deanna Lynn at 9 pm. A picture follows.
At 10 pm, same location, David Childers took the stage. A picture follows.
After Childers I went to the Comet Grill and saw Lenny Federal. Thatsa good night of music.

He's back! You probably didn't even know he was gone
Mojo Nixon has found a spot on the Sirius satellite radio thing. I'd sure like to be able to hear that. Makes me wish I was a trucker so I could rationalize subscribing to satellite radio. Maybe the world will finally appreciate Mojo.
