i think my body is starting to reject the 2004 election. i happened about 1:15 this afternoon... i decided to do some more reading on the election... electoral analysis... speeches, more polls... then i read the jon stewart vs. cnn/crossfire transcript.
naturally i wanted some video of the argument on the crossfire episode - so i googled for a while. after a few minutes of not finding the clip i wanted, i got all anxious-like. then my tummy felt strange. it's around this time that i suspect my liver began to fail.
it's a cliche, but it holds true for politics as well... everything is fine in moderation. i'm taking a break from the election for about 24 hours.
so here's one last link about the election for a while. it's a big one. an empirical study that concludes that bush supporters have about as much of a command of "real facts" as bush has of the english language... "bush supporters still believe iraq had w.m.d."
so anyway - tonight... i'm going to catch the ambulance ltd. show. they are another in a long, annoying line of nyc | detroit | chicago bands that are -"like, totally the shit" this week and gone next week.
however, they are quite catchy. my goody buddy amber gave me the cd, along with a few others, for my birthday. i think the other cd's were the new modest mouse (good guitar sounds) and muse. i liked muse a lot, but i'm not into the "heavy" stuff anymore, so i had to pawn it off on my girlfriend. i can hear the history of nyc-rock on the ambulance cd, and it's a perfectly good mid-2004, post modern, everything-is-over-including-rock kind of a record. it's just that there are simply too many bands in the world all doing the same thing.
nonetheless, i liked some of their tv performances, and i really dig the line - "relax, don't think about... the way i treat you."
for some reason i have been thinking that everything out there is shit. it started about 9 minutes after the wilco show at the fox. hmmm.
