Don’t miss Bill O’Reilly on the Daily Show tonight. It should be good fun.

With all the 2-party brainwashing that’s been escalated in the past few weeks, it’s nice to have a fresh voice.

I was only able to watch the first thirty minutes or so of tonight’s VP “debate”, but I must say I was quite surprised. Between all the regurgitation of last Thursday’s presidential “debate” and the “my pimp is better than your pimp” talk, it seems that Edwards was in the lead (if there can be one). How did that happen? I mean, Dick Cheney can just look at him and Edwards would implode. He’s Dick frickin-Cheney.

It’s settled. Solaris is by far the best song on Shango, and right up there with Navras, Teahouse, and Conga Fury as one of the best Juno Reactor songs. I also think Shango is a better album than Bible of Dreams.

Who else watched the press conference? It was great fun. C-SPAN did the split screen thing so that you could always watch one candidate listen to other’s response. I love watching Bush. He looks so…naive, bored, ignorant…something like that. Do you ever get the urge to pull his ears out from his head and have him puff up his cheeks, or is that just me? Anway, I think Kerry came out the winner in that one. I mean, I almost liked the guy. That takes something.

In other news, I just got a brand new (still sealed) copy of Juno Reactor’s Shango for $6.00. Excuse me while I sell my soul to Half.com.

Ha. No.

My debit card was declined at a gas station today. After checking to make sure that I had a balance in the account, I called up my bank’s phone support to discover that my card number is part of a block that’s been “compromised” from a certain merchant (they won’t tell me which). Anyway, I have to wait 5 days for a new card with a new number.
