* How is it that so many Democrats, who have been all over President Bush’s slips of the tounge, are so ready to defend Barrack Obama for his?
* Why is Kate Blanchett starving herself to death? Is this what passes for glamor, anymore?
*On that subject, why are these people still alive? Hang them out as an example to this kind of nonsense. Literally.
* if Rudy Giuliani doesn’t support abortion, why is he sending is money to what is essentially the world’s largest abortion mill?
* In Katie Couric, CBS now has a bigger embarrassment than Don Imus ever was. What proof? As it stands, Imus had more listeners, and Imus actually has a chance of winning the lawsuit, that resulted from his firing. Couric misses badly on both counts . Personally, I can’t imagine any kind of a lawsuit at all even being attempted on the part of Katie Couric when CBS finely drops the axe on this turkey. 1/3 of Americans now have a negative view of the woman. Granted, that the association with CBS news isn’t helping her image, but she’s got nobody to blame for both the association, and what she’s managed to do with it. How long is it going to be before CBS puts this one of our misery?
* On what basis is this law created? Whom does its enforcement serve?
* If Chuckles the Clown Schumer is really interested in bringing the price of gasoline down, why doesn’t he proposed putting a refund are eager to somewhere in new York state thereby increasing the gasoline supply bringing the price down and creating jobs, too? (BBCT to Billy Beck… this oughta set you off further, Billy… and note the date..)
* Why, except for wishful thinking, would the left be trying to spin Fred Thompson as a non player in the 08 presidential election? Seems to me , that all that massive effort on their part denotes serious worry, far as I can see.
* How can subprime lenders be accused of fraud, when they’re the ones that are going broke?
* At what point, does the sexual revolution, start showing us some of the advantages that we were sold on so long ago? What we’ve been successful in liberating, as far as I can tell , is men creating babies and leaving the woman to deal with the consequences. And of course, a boon for family court lawyers, divorce lawyers, and so on. At what point do we realize that the panacea that we painted for ourselves back in the day, never existed?
* I happened to pan across the local Pablum Broadcasting System (PBS) station today. Begging for dollars radio again. one of the idiots that they had shoved up behind the microphone, who was trying to stir up a passion for this station, enough to generate some dollars, was saying “who’s going to fight global warming?” leaving aside the long thought processes that got me there, I began to wonder what would happen if science had somehow come to the conclusion that the electromagnetic spectrum, and the misuse thereof for the purpose of transmitting radio waves, was what was responsible badly for what scientists are occasionally calling “global warming”. Would the fundraisers, I wonder, be so quick to jump on the global warming bandwagon, or would they defend their ability to transmit via high-power EM transmitters?
* So, what is the status of district attorney Mike Nifong? Why is he not serving IN JAIL AT THIS VERY MOMENT? And, why has the press fallen off the map on this one? Time was, we got 24 /7 coverage of every move each of the parties made, adnuseum. I suppose that’s the kind of press you get when the poor black stripper is put upon by rich white kids. Now that the Democrat has been proven the fraud, And it has been proven that exactly the opposite of the original charges is actually what happened, it neither gets space in the paper, nor air time. Doesn’t it kinda make you wonder why?
* Why is the New York Sun the only publication on the planet, seemingly, that is making note of the alliance between the American left and the Islamic right?
Addendum afterward because I forgot
* The Music: Tangerine Dream; Mota Atma
It’s a little hard to describe my fascination with such works. I guess the best description that I can give it, however, is that it’s the same fascination I find with the music of Bach.
Or perhaps the fascination of watching a fine tuned machine at work; a computer, a steam engine, a car, or back in the day of good reel to reel tape deck, and so on. There’s a certain mechanical precision that goes into works like this, be they good or bad. And the good ones tend to not only to hold that part of the mind which is fascinated with mechanical precision, but also hold the part of the mind fascinated in terms of musical expression.
This one is actually a fairly recent work, having been recorded in late ’02 and released in ’03. It’s actually a soundtrack of a Japanese documentary by the same name, and that’s a little problematic for this writing, because I can’t seem to find anything on the subject of the movie, and what it’s about.
I’ve noticed over the years, that TD soundtracks and live performances tend to sound a little thin… possibly labeled as “minimalist”. I’ve always attributed this to sounds that can be imagined, but not produced in the smaller studios used for soundtrack purposes, or in live performance. I take as proof of this, that this trend, has not changed over all the personnel changes over the years. (They’ve been around since 1967, gang) This album sounds, as the other soundtrack stuff I have of theirs, fairly thin. Yet, perhaps it is better, so.
If you like electronica, this one’s recommended.

could you please proofread before you post your comments? I have difficulty taking seriously anybody who doesn’t try to present themselves professionally on their blogs.

OK, I’ll bite;
What is it you’re seeing in this one that I’m not?

Noted and corrected two context errors.
Understand; I’m still typing one handed and using the voice recognition dictation thingie, until my hand heals up a bit more.
