Roman could have done a little research on what would happen to him if he set foot in Switzerland. He must have assumed, like I did, that the Swiss had no extradition treaty. That said, I think the Swiss will not extradite him, extradite him to France or the French Foreign Legion will be sent in to spring him.

Hey, don't forget Nursery Cryme. HOGWEED!

She was good on Conan or Letterman or one of those shows she was on at some point this past summer.

I don't want to get on a Dallas-bashing spree, but if you let the punter force you out of bonds, you are a pussy. Straight up.

Look. All of human civilization has done what it has done in a period between ice ages. Another ice age is coming, global warming notwithstanding. At some point, we may, no, WILL need to leave this planet if the species is to survive. All of this "Life After People" crap is defeatism.

Heh.

Natalia, I was thinking of you on Friday when an XTC song (I think from your VC mix) came up on my iPod at the gym. I also think of you whenever I see a trilobite. Happy birthday!

Yeah. I would like to have a talk with him about some flaws in "The Ninth Gate."

Some good history in this, and some good points on how the teabag people are using the methodologies of the hippies: Intellectual conservatism, RIP I was once a young neoconservative. The word meant something different then, before it was hijacked by extremistsBy Michael Lind Sep. 22, 2009 | OnSept. 18, Irving Kristol died. On Feb. 27, 2008, William F. Buckley Jr.passed away.

Why are the Jets and Giants on at the same time today? Edit: Oh yeah, Yom Kippur.

"Eh, cherie, you should see what we Canucks can do with a little bean soup."

Huh. I thought Switzerland was all neutral and shit.

And then caught a case for assaulting a federal agent! As a journalist, I really resent anyone putting that word anywhere near Hal Turner, who came to our fair city once. That dude is a bucket of shit, and it takes more than a blog to get called a journalist.

Yeah! Eleanor kicked ass too!

I know! Especially this part: "We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. 'Necessitous men are not free men.' People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made."

Apparently contains some thought-lost footage of my homie, Franklin D., saying this: Excerpt from President Roosevelt's January 11, 1944 message to the Congress of the United States on the State of the Union[1]: It is our duty now to begin to lay the plans and determine the strategy for the winning of a lasting peace and the establishment of an American standard of living higher than ever before known. We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people—whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth—is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill

Moi aussi, mon ami.

Hey, it's America. You don't even have to speak English if you do not want to.

Yeah, and he was all like, "we made love." So he was a crazy rapist, in essence. Mackenzie has ruined her life probably a couple times over and she is probably not qualified to run a slurpee machine, so her story might be the only thing she's got to keep the lights turned on. I ain't gonna buy or read her book, but I don't resent her for writing it.

John Lennon's vocal as he enters into the refrain of "Rock n Roll Music" is maybe the zenith of Western artistic expression.

Revenge? Justice? Rape is pretty awful, and that's understating it almost criminally.

I had feelings like that too.

This was Tarantino's fantasy of what would happen if Sergio Leone and Sam Peckinpaugh collaborated on a WWII movie. Good, mostly, though it dragged a bit in spots and Tarantino sure does like the sound of his own writing.
