So what? The same could be said for a lot of Israelis in regard to Palestine/the Palestinians. The Israeli government deserves to be dissed because Israel has ALL of the power -- military, economic, territorial, etc. -- and they systematically oppress an entire population. Currently they're denying even basic supplies to the residents of the Gaza Strip. They have created a humanitarian crisis on a massive scale. They treat the Palestinians as less than human. The Palestinians are not wholly innocent, of course -- but because Israel has all the power, Israel deserves the lion's share of the

Purges, deletions, etc.

I don't think Bob Crane said that.

What if we are, though? How would you know? I don't happen to think we are ... but a large chunk of the world thinks we are, and that's largely our own doing. You don't get people to "understand" that we're the good guys by invading countries for no reason, or by supporting dictators or repressive governments.

More importantly, (anti-U.S.) terrorism will grow and prosper as long as we continue to support Israel's brutal repression of the Palestinians. If the U.S. could find a way to broker a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians in a way that benefits all parties, one of the primary engines driving anti-U.S. terrorism will begin to wind down. Sadly, that ain't gonna happen any time soon. There's too much power, money, and influence here in the U.S. that's directed at keeping the Israeli hardliners in power.

I know nothing about them, but their name makes me want to vomit.

He thought his hair would be enough to get him elected. Romney's campaign drained a significant chunk of his personal fortune (though he's still a very rich man). He never did raise very much from donors. I guess the businessman in him finally decided to jettison a losing investment.

I disagree, but only in the sense that Obama/Clinton will probably take three or four years to do it, while McCain won't even bother to try. I certainly don't see either Obama or Clinton pulling them all out in the first year.

I've got coworkers who are more NSFW than that picture. Not that I'm complaining.

Probably ... but now the GOP base have a single candidate to get behind (Huckabee). It may be too late in the process to make much of a difference, but we'll see.

Not as scary as tornadoes, but... 800 vehicles trapped on Wisconsin interstate Are all of our Wisconsin folks OK? Beltmann? skyflynn? etc.?

Of course, he's just paving the way for Huckabee to make a stunning comeback.

Bogus. I'd drive 100 miles to see I&W at the State (which is what I had planned to do). I doubt I'll drive 50 miles to see him in Royal Oak. I don't know. Have to think about this.

Sayonara, douchebag.

edit: I thought you were talking about Bogosian.

Today they announced that the Kalamazoo show on 4/18 has been postponed. No new date has been set. Has this happened with any other dates?

Shocking, really.

I changed my mind about ikol. I didn't used to be much of a fan. Even though we agree on very little, though, there's something about that guy.

Me too. Underrated record, that. I had almost forgotten about those guys and started to assume that their debut record was just a one-shot deal, and then that "One Headlight" thing happened. Or maybe it was "6th Avenue Heartache."

Trees are a man-made institution?

"calm down"

The only ones I'd be interested in are these: Pearl Jam Robert Plant & Alison Krauss The Allman Brothers Band Willie Nelson Levon Helm and the Ramble on the Road Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings Solomon Burke Drive-By Truckers The Avett Brothers ...plus these, whom I've seen before but certainly wouldn't mind seeing again: B.B. King Iron & Wine Aimee Mann Orchestra Baobab Otherwise ...

Or maybe you're just suffering from anxiety, pain, and sleeplessness.

= more pictures of Jenny Lewis! Sorry.
