I'M BACK!

After a long hiatus of more than just the twelve days of XMass, I come back rested, ready and primed for action! With the end of the season with Epiphany, I can take down my paltry little tree, and gear up for the new year. So, since I have been away from this blog for so long, I will bring up more than one issue:

First, I want to extend a happy New Year to all of us. Michael T. (Miss T.) says that we should, instead of making resolutions, come out as something each year. This can consist of the traditional type of coming out (e.g., that one is gay); it can consist of admitting to others what they already know about you, but you have not had the courage to say yet; and it can also be the proclaimation of what one wishes to be.
I am coming out as a thin man this year.

Secondly, why are so many muscians covering 70's songs all of a sudden? The Dixie Chixies (I know, but that is how I think of them when I do) come out with Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. Then we have good ol' Uncle Kracker (n.b., this site is a little annoying) doing a version of (the completely underappreciated) Dobie Gray's Drift Away; a song that seems to have been covered by nearly eveyone else in this world. And, if this were not enough, Counting Crows does a cover of Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi! What's next, Sarah Maclaughlin doing Heart of Glass? Alanis Morrisette doing Year of the Cat? Michael Jackson sings Dancing in the Moonlight?How far will the music industry push our gullability? It only goes to prove a theory of mine: just as you think you have hit rock bottom, the ledge gives way, and you start falling again.

And, finally, how much can I pay any of you to find it in your heart to wield a weapon of sufficient caliber and force, so that a projectile of no less than .22 finds itself lodged sufficiently and squarely through the third eye of Ann Coulter? Can someone please rid the world of this shrill shill of the Republican radical right? How much longer must we suffer her "books" and other writings? When the revolution comes, she is one of the first to go. And this is saying something, because, as many of you know, that when the revolution comes I believe that there is not enough wall to line them all up against. I will have to have some of them build new wall, so I can them put them up against it. Coulter need not worry; we're taking care of her first.
