The Sunny Trailer Mashup

I'm ready for the fall TV season begin, with a well-deserved break from the focus on politics...So, I hopped on the FX website and put together my own collection of clips from past seasons of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'..."Rock, Flag, and Eagle...!" "It's not a jacket...it's a duster." Enjoy...

Republicans...This is Your Robot

This interview with a local television reporter in Maine, captures on film perhaps one of the greatest quotes that 'Botic' has uttered during this campaign, when he claims that, "She (Governor Palin) knows more about energy than probably anybody else in the Unites States."

I SINCERELY HOPE THAT WAS A JOKE...YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

Capitalizing on American Tragedy

This pretty well sums things up...Only in America could a political party use fear to drive agendas, control the minds of 'Sheep', and allow the truly sick Capitalists to 'capitalize' on the largest tragedy this country has ever faced, turning it into a profit-seeking opportunity...(See car magnets, flag lapel pins, flags...all made in China)

For what it's worth, my thoughts and prayers go out to the families today as we reflect on them...their loss and their pain...not politics or terror branding...Rudy Giuliani and his noun, verb, 9/11 tactics have got to go...enough already...The focus needs to be on the victims families and how this tragedy affected their lives...not how the Republicans can attempt to use it as leverage once again in an election year...You fooled the 'Sheep' in 2004, but I pray it doesn't work again come November.

Pepper - Pink Crustaceans and Good Vibrations

Summer just wouldn't be complete enjoying some fresh tunes from your favorite bands. At the end of July, Pepper released their latest effort - Pink Crustaceans and Good Vibrations. This is the 5th album for the Hawaaian trio of Bret Bollinger, Kaleo Wassman, and Yesod Williams.

While I certainly wouldn't claim to be an expert at reviewing albums, everyone's got their opinion...This is a solid effort, but probably not their best album to date (3.5 out of 5?)...I guess I was looking for them to continue to build on the groundswell of attention they began to receive with their last album, No Shame, which I thought better captured the true scope of their sound and ability...I guess I feel like they lost a little steam on this effort, but I still think they're a great band with a huge future. I saw them live in Minneapolis in '06 and they put on a fantastic show with great energy. Pundits love to try to anoint them the next Sublime, which they're not, but they are certainly a talented group of guys with a great sound...I'm hoping to catch them on the Fall leg of their tour, should they make a return trip to the Twin Cities.

Gender Inequality? Nice Try

This is probably one of the best video clips I've seen during the recent media frenzy surrounding Sarah Palin...You'd think that the Republicans were suddenly at the forefront of the Women's Suferage Moment or something...What a joke. Again, I've said it earlier in the campaign...Video of previous comments will eventually come back to bite you in the ass...With all due respect to Mrs. Palin...She is no Hillary Clinton...I've also heard that 'The Comedian' Rush Limbaugh has come out recently raving about Sarah Palin and even went so far as to call McCain, "McBrilliant"...Again, this is a total joke. I really think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better definition and example of the "Good Old Boys Network"...Rush, Karl Rove, and the rest of the Republican leadership are once again atop my list of world's worst hypocrites...Lucky for us the video will always catch them in the act of deception.
