Interesting Radio Tidbit

I'm already sick of it. My roommates and I are brushing up on singing 'O Canada' on cue, and reciting members of Canada's government.

Personally, I think Vancover or Toronto would be kinda nice to hang out in for a while. But we'd probably have to split ( ) and find some dinky towns to lay low in for a while.

Guess this is what happens when you put a rich Texan in the White House.

Not looking to stir things up BUT...

What happens when you go to Canada and organized terrorists ram into your home city?? When is it personal enough to care?

When in America would we ever have increased contentment?

The constant messages from the monolothic government of crises, never ending crises, suffering, and the needs for increased funding to solve never-ending often recurrent themes, homeless, collapse of Social Security, poverty, and the newest, terrorism, does nothing to promote positive attitude about one's culture, leaders, and institutions.

How long can America hold on to hope?

You will get what you want most likely this summer, when gas prices are up, the economy is still sluggish, the campaigns have gone full-blown negative, the twin towers bombing becomes more, or less, ancient history in the newest incarnation of pop culture where now, everyone will be famous for 15 seconds, and Americans once again begin to view all politicians and all government as bad, then you can get the true axis of evil, the Republicans defeated so the whole cycle may be born yet anew...

Has anyone heard the remakes they are playing on the radio of old anti-Vietnam songs?

The other day I heard a remake of For What It's Worth.

The timing of this is telling. I'm not trying to equate the current situation to Vietnam at all. It's so far from that at this point in time. But, I can see if it continues the way Bush seems to desire, there is going to be increased discontent in America.

I've always thought "Fortunate Son" said it all.

Ever hear the version by Sleater Kinney?

There is a town in North Ontario . . .

Maybe it's just a good time to revive CSN&Y?

. . . What it is ain't exactly clear.
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware.

Oh, and we're supposed to have you? Fix your own country before you pack in ours.

That's good but I believe that's either Stills as a solo artist or Buffalo Springfield.

I know. But then the conversation got twisted around to Canada, particularly hiding in a small town. Then I thought of the Neil Young song (to which the title of my post refers). Then I thought of CSNY. I was skipping through the political stuff, and coming back around to the musical. This is just the way my mind twists and works. I expect you folks to fill in the gaps.

Milwuakee? Go ahead - given the scandals going on over there with the mayor receiving sex from his intern to the Pension Pay scandal which could leave all county representitives retiring right now with millions in county taxes (read: HUGE budget woes), I really couldn't care. With the local economy of Milwaukee leaving each year to other, more prosporous markets, the city has become a shit hole. All that's left is Miller and Harley - and they'll have trouble keeping their books in the black should recent trends continue.

All we have is the Firstar Building - which used to be First Wisconsin - which is now headquartered in Arizona or Ohio somewhere. So what if Bin Laden smashes a plane into that? No one would give a shit.

Besides, the other once proud symbol of Milwaukee - the high-rise bridge that was I-794 - fell apart last winter do to poor craftsmanship. Truly a symbol of what Milwaukee can put together.

Miller Park? Smash that into the ground too. Hell, if the thrid base side of the project was allowed to collpase before, why not go for a second round? We're probably due. (My apologies to the families of the three men who lost their lives to that job).

So you wanna invite some terrorists to invade Milwaukee? Feel free with my permission.

*Ahem...*

(In the squakiest voice you can imagine):
'Oh Can-a-da...'

(Guess this is what happens when a generation of cynical Gen-Xers get internet access with a keyboard, huh?)

Originally retorted by Weevil: Oh, and we're supposed to have you? Fix your own country before you pack in ours.

Just until we find out how to survive in Australia. That place is messed up! Outside of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, you're in for a plethora of trouble...

BTW - I've been in a sour mood these past few days - and I mean no personal offense to anyone (although if you mean to take offense, don't let anyone stop you...).

I think we'd all give a shit. In fact, the U.S. would send a ton of aid and money if a building were attacked in your country. We are the nicest bully of the world imaginable!

Hell, I'm pissed to see the Chicomm's at it again in Peru.
