Ernest Hemingway once said, concerning women, that "once they fall in love with you, you can shit in the sink and they don't care. Before that you have to be on your best behavior." I always liked that. As a young man with all kinds of noble and naive ideals concerning women, I was always shocked when confronted by women who put up with abusive men - usually to a nauseating degree. I know better now, as I suppose every man on the planet who has suffered from a savior complex learns eventually.
I have been thinking about that Papa quote every time I see Hillary Clinton supporters. Here we have a women who has beat and humiliated her supporters dozens of times over the last year or so, and yet these same, shiner-sporting Clintonistas seem to galvanize each time Hillary insults them. There is no need to re-count the drunken beatings Hillary has inflicted on her supporters - at this point, does it really matter? If you return to Hillary's bed after she calls Obama a tar baby, after she insults MLK, after her husband spends years peddling influence for cash to every penny despot in the Balkans, then she might as well shit in the sink - evidently you are sold. What I still don't understand is why she stays in the race. She is not going to win anyone new over. She has been virtually eliminated mathematically. I would even say she is embarrassing herself, but let's face it - standing by her man after a Cohiba insertion in a 22-year old pretty much proves she is incapable of feeling embarrassment.
I have been avoiding the news, this blog, pretty much current events in general, because I can't stomach the posturing and whining coming from both sides. The networks and cable news are giving blanket coverage - and why shouldn't they? The ignorant masses are tuning in by the tens of thousands to watch the DNC's highbrow Maury Povich show. Stay tuned - a Hillary and Pelosi cat fight after the break! Someone please end this. Please.
One thing I am sorry about neglecting is posting MP3s. So, in honor of Election '08 we have a live cut from Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead, You Gotta Serve Somebody, and in honor of my current mood, the Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia. Any time I can spread some Dead Kennedy cheer, I am stoked.

J,
Did you see Rove on Friday? Giving a speech somewhere -- "Young Americans" or something like that. It was on C-SPAN.
That man is such an evil genius. He had me almost ready to vote for McCain, until I snapped out of my media induced hypnotic state. He's good at being bad. He's good at making people believe that Obama is a worthless do nothing. Man, that guy is dangerous.
Some college kids were in the back holding up a sheet that read, "War Criminal" while another was reading a list of Rove atrocities. They all got thrown out to cheers from the audience.
Man, satan better hope that Rove gets a pardon, because if he ends up in Hell....he's taking over.
