The girlfriend of a member of G.o.D. (Jon) was unimpressed by our rough demo of our first single. She demanded that we drink a bit more (Jack Daniels) and smoked a few more cigars, as we sounded, a bit, well choral…
We are doing as ordered.
Update: Jon, a back-up singer, left here, a bit well, too trained.

Re: Shackled to recession
Date: 14 November 2003
Sir – Lucy Powell of Britain in Europe (Letters, Nov 12) tries to make a case for Britain being in the EU. She cites the reduction of barriers and increase in trade, which is why we joined the EEC in the first place. But although no one denies that these benefits still continue, the EEC itself has changed.

British Spin has an amusing and poignant look at why some British people are keen on George Bush. Very much worth the time to read.

Comments are off for this postRadley on Rock the Vote
“That Rock the Vote swings left is hardly surprising. What’s curious, however, is how willingly the project has given up any pretense of honest debate. In fact the organization’s roundup of issues important to young people reads suspiciously like issues important to limousine liberal entertainment executives.” (11/12/03)
Radley quite rightly skewers the travesty that is Rock the Vote. I remember getting stuff from them when they first began; it was pretty obvious there was no place for Republicans or Libertarians in their midst. It is a front for the left.

“Suspended Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore had ‘every legal right’ to ignore an order to remove his Ten Commandments monument from the rotunda of the state courthouse, Moore’s attorneys said Wednesday at his judicial ethics trial. Attorney General Bill Pryor, whose office is prosecuting Moore, has asked the Court of the Judiciary to remove the chief justice for ‘Moore’s sensational flouting of a valid federal injunction.’ About 100 Moore supporters gathered on the sidewalk and plaza outside the judicial building Wednesday, some carrying ‘Save the Ten Commandments’ signs. As Moore arrived, some women held small children up to get a glimpse.” (11/12/03)

“Let other Girl Scouts make bird feeders out of bleach bottles and glue together little birch-bark canoes. Troop 34 in Alaska is learning to trap and skin beavers. In a practice that has angered animal rights activists, the girls are killing the beavers as part of a state flood-management program. ‘We think it sends a very, very bad message that when animals cause a problem, you kill them,’ said Stephanie Boyles of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. She said the Girl Scouts should teach children to become ‘stewards of wildlife, not abusers.’” (11/12/03)
Well that didn’t take long. Wonder if this Ms Boyles twit ever actually went out into nature. She probably thinks it’s “nature abuse” to kill a bear in self-defence.
Game, Set, Match
WASHINGTON Nov. 13 To a grieving nation, Jacqueline Kennedy was stoic following her husband’s assassination. But over games of tennis with a priest who counseled her, she apparently revealed her feelings, including thoughts of suicide.
She wondered if God would separate her from her husband if she killed herself. She agonized over the existence of eternal life, and suggested that her young children might be better off if they were raised by the slain president’s brother Robert and his wife Ethel.
“I’m no good to them,” she told the Rev. Richard McSorley, as they traded tennis strokes at Robert Kennedy’s Hickory Hill estate. “I’m so bleeding inside.”
Now I wonder how that worked:

Comments are off for this postWar is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
