a Slate quote re: Chris Matthews…I think it sounds like my blog therefore I am proclaming myself the next Chris Matthews…

Under the heading “The MSNBC motormouth talks a lot, says nothing.”
Nobody in TV news stir-fries his ideas and serves them to the audience faster than MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. Drawing from a larder filled with old anecdotes, unreliable metaphors, wacky intuition, and superficial observations, the always-animated Matthews steers whatever’s handy into the hot wok that is his brain. The sizzling free-associations skitter through his limbic system, leap out his mouth, and look for a resting spot in the national conversation, where they steam like fresh lava in untouchable heaps.

At work today a spam went out from someone who found a Glenn Miller cassette titled “the Magic of Glenn Miller”.
A cassette…really??? Glenn Miller…really??? Magic…really?

So at Das Bett I see they’ve emailed about an ‘Folkpop aus Australien’ band called ‘Heligoland’. Now I’ve never heard Heligoland, nor have I heard of them, but I still havn’t forgiven you people for Frente, so I am boycotting you ‘Heligoland’. Go back home to your meat pies, xavier rudd cover bands, and self contained lifestyles!
(I could have gone with kangaroos, boomerangs, and wronged native peoples, but I’m clever like that…)

also note that I was clever enough to mention kangaroos, boomerangs and wronged native peoples even though I wasn’t even talking about them…see how I show an interest in your country

I’ve been listening to the Pogues again, and whenever I do I just can’t help but note how ugly shane MacGowan is…

which started me thinking…if you had to make a supergroup of talented musicians who were extra ugly who would be in it? Shane of course…Dylan? Who else would you  put on that stage?
(no gwar type band references. That’s cheating).

(I’d always save a spot for Crazy Chong in any supergroup…he would just make things better…)
crazy chong links below…just search crazy chong on you tube…there’s a bunch…and for those of you not in Ffm he is just a street performed guy who seems to have a cult following….I’m a fan…

So apparently a lot of people are searching on the …your people will judge you by bob the builder thing and my page is somewhere in the search engines…
The Joke is on you people!!!

back to my regularly scheduled programming because some of the europeans are complaining about my political coverage
(actually  the word used was boraphyl)

so earlier this week I actually arrived at work in daylight, and left in daylight…First time in a few months…tis rather springlike now that Frankfurt is above freezing. Life is good!

How’s that…instead of politics you’re getting to read about how my day revolves around weather…happy now?!?!

….as I only have CNN I’m already annoyed at the talking heads…where have you gone Chris Matthews?

Great…Obamas penmanship is outstanding…good reporting Bob!!!

When I heard Cheney was in a wheelchair, it seemed like a scheme for him to sneak in a gun and start shooting people…could it be that I bought the hype and Cheney isn’t as bad as he was made out to be…gasp…his daughter is gay and he still speaks to her…plus he uses the ‘f’ word…I guess he failed the religious right…do they think he’s a fraud…

This just in…my blog from Monday may have been mistaken…I believed McCain when he said Obama was a socialist…turns out not to be true…if you can’t trust a white haired republican ‘hero’ who can you trust…

this just in…I’ve been lied to be politicians and am now dissilussioned…

OK…****in all seriousness Obama could go down as one of the greatest presidents ever BECAUSE of the situations in the world he will have to deal with. Obama will have money to spend, plenty of capital, a natural pragmatism, and his party in power.
…and because I’m a forward looking individual…the Democrats will have their own G.W. Bush in 2 to 3 elections because people will have such favourable memories/ratings of Obama they will blindly vote their party for a bad candidate…

***not sarcasm***
Most people have blogs that might denote sarcasm, but I am using *** to denote seriousness…hmmmm
