Ragtime Music is all there is.

I really can't stop listening to my ragtime station. It's been the only thing in my ears for almost a week now. Scott Joplin and James Scott are two of my new favorite composers. Also, Gerswhin did a fair number of ragtime tunes. It's like a whole world of music we've been deprived of. So go getcha some head phones or speakers and check 'em out. Use the internets to simply follow this amazing link to my Pandora station. It'll blow your fucking socks right off your toe-tappin' feet.

Speaking of things that smell, Enraged Cunt Sarah McPalin. BOOSH! No, actually, she's a complete fucking lunatic who doesn't know shit from shineola. According to this dude, Among other things, she declared that she was a young earth creationist, accepting both that the world was about 6,000-plus years old, and that humans and dinosaurs walked the earth at the same time...I asked how she felt about the second coming and the end times. She responded that she fully believed that the signs of Jesus returning soon "during MY lifetime," were obvious. "I can see that, maybe you can't - but it guides me every day." Well, that's good to know. It's like Bush 2: Bush Dumber. If that many people really think an old man who invented the Blackberry and stupid bitch face enraged cunt are the people who should lead us, let's just destroy this shithole of a country once and for all and start over.

Do you know what else our Political Overlords, specifically the DHS, did? Well, of all the places in America to put a Level 4 BioHazard site, they chose one right in the fucking path of hurricane alley. Yes, Galvaston! Fortunately for every living thing around, it wasn't fully functional or built yet, and nothing bad leaked out of it. Except Galvaston is now covered in shit and mud and dirty condoms and such, so now it looks like Padre Island.

How come all these rich assholes only care about money? And oil? And bullshit? I donno, but over across the pond (That's England, to you Americans and other ill-informed folks) a bank manager literly stole from the rich and gave to the poor. It's a great read, and for the most part everyone seems to be on his side. Except that he's in jail now and his wife left him with the kids. That'll teach him to be a human being.

Ever wonder where I get some of these off the wall stories, like this one about re-chalking the Giant Man With Erect Penis thing over in England? A wonderful little site known as The Daily Grail. It's a fair bit of woo, often full of bullshit, but a wonderful collection of stories, cryptozoology, Holy Grail nonsense, and other fun stuff. I'm personally a fairly hardline skeptic (about 50% of the time; it comes with being a Gemini. Or being bi-polar. Or both.) but check out The Daily Grail and subscribe to thier feeds if you want. I love it.

As a former smoker, you'd think I would want to like, ban it or some shit. Actually, I think banning smoking everywhere (even outside!) is a bit extreme. I personally don't give two shits in the wind if people smoke around me outside. Or in a bar. I'd prefer people not smoke in my car, but I also know how much awesome it is, so I still let people. It's retarded to try and change people's behavior by banning something - we have learned from prohibition and the War On Drugs that this does not work. All it does is create more criminals. Stupid fucking state.

Finally, I'll let Coach McGuirk wrap things up here.
