I lived in NO for 5 years. I agree with some of the spirit of Nagin's argument (as hilariously put as it is). Generations of black families that have lived in NO very affordably could potentially be priced out if the developers start licking their lips, since the poorer sections of town were very, very old buildings (many beautiful) that will have to be demolished. Saying NO and Louisiana bears no responsibility in this matter is incorrect, though. We've known that the levies were insufficient for at least 10 years, probably longer (despite the protestations of FEMA and Bush.) They should have been repaired, with a combination of federal and state money. The fact is, Louisiana, and NO in general is infamous for their corrup governments, and widespread skimming of money. The people don't bear responsibility for this, but you can't say the local gov't is faultless, not by a long shot. As it is, it's a prime example of when government funding for housing is essential, both federal and local. Black or white, let's get the families who lived there back in NO.

When I went to the JFK museum (in the book suppository in Texas) They said he wins the best prez poll almost every time. Que? He's certainly one of the best speaker of all time. No doubt. And he did only associate with high-class tail, but come on. And those of you who voted Lincoln, keep in mind his wife was crazy. He couldn't even keep his wife in line, how's he supposed to run a country?

Wow.

Blech. There's no way they were even going to come close to the quality of art seen in the Ultimates, but they could have tried to emulate the look a LITTLE. Thor doesn't look a bit like a hippy. I don't know how much they spent on this, but you think they could have made something that looks even a fifth as good as Samurai Champloo. Apparently not.

Bump, because In the new X-Men. EDIT: That would be the new 'X-Men', not the 'New X-Men'

For whatever reason, while I think any team can win this week, I think one game will surprisingly end up a blowout.

Yahoo IM all the way. AIM puts way too much shit on your computer. Plus, I don't like IMing much, and most of my friends are on AIM, so it works out nicely. EDIT: Plus the Yahoo Presidents are from my Alma Mater, Tulane.

How is Denver's pass defense?

Good thing it wasn't camel spiders.

I remember him specifically stating that if Bateman hadn't killed those people, it wouldn't work as a satire.

I had fun with both Ape Escapes. The monkeys did seem quite a bit smarter in AE 1.

Ellis has apparently said that Bateman did it.

One thing I think will help Pittsburgh out a lot is that they can switch in and out their RBs with regularity, preventing them from sucking wind. It's very hard for an every-down back to succeed in the thin air of Denver.

Galaxy Quest. Picked it up for 50c. It was a very pleasant surprise.

FINE. Getting past the fact that I don't like Interpol, which newer bands do you think have legs?

There's a frink named after mine. It's called 'the ultimate shit-eatter'

Only song I've ever listened to that has been a little bit scary is Sonic Youth's 'Shaking Hell'. Even with my well-known SY-boner, that song is just straight jugg-fuckled. Though The Wall movie scared the living shit out of me when I was 8. Fucking dad. Atari Teenage Riot is quite awesome. If I was to ever be executed, I would like them to play 'By any means necessary' or the Breeders' Cannonball. As an aside, I determined a couple years ago that 'Cannonball' is my favorite song ever, simply because I will never tire of it. Terrific song. Boom Doo-doom, doo-doo. Boom Doo-doom, doo-doo. Dooooo-doodoodoo--oom doodoodoo-oom. Good song.

About how much time has passed since Terry's murder?

I just want the 'Hawks to get to the Super Bowl. Obviously, I want them to win, but if they make it to the big game, I think they'll have erased the stigma of being chokers. The only reason I can think of to hate the 'Hawks is that they've made it to the playoffs a couple times, simply because they played in a shitty division. That talk can be put to rest some this season, though they did have a very easy schedule.

Jaysis, how did that slip my mind? I think they built Seahawks stadeum too small to even host a SB ever, stupid Seattle.

I think and hope the Seahawks win. Should be an exciting game either way. Shaun's in, DeShaun's out. Y'all are haters. Honestly, why the Seahawks hate? They play good ball, they're not packed full of arrogant jackasses, They're a complete team. God forbid they win a conference championship for the first time ever! Pittsburgh's looked demonic lately, but they're playing at Mile High, against a team that isn't rusty or crippled by injury. This game's going to be a lot closer than most think. I hope Denver wins, I don't think they can beat the Hawks at home, but the Steelers definitely can. I'm 50/50, no idea who's going to win. COULDN'T care less.

Swan got every band I was going to mention. Good show!

I've gotten clam chowder the consistency of phlegm at a restaurant before. They had probably over-thickened it with corn starch, either way, it was fucking disgusting. It was gelatinous. French onion soup is even easier: Onions Beef stock stale bread cheese. You cannot screw that up.

I've never heard of Toliet. Obviously a french philosopher or explorer. Cadillac-Williams? Really? Ha!

I could have gone with some more Symbion Project/Komputer Kontroller/Freezepop in the bonus songs. The one Freezepop song is sweet. I there are some terrible (not to mention ultra-repetitious) tracks in the bonus tracks, but they got a really nice mix of songs in there. If you guys like this, I heartily reccomend Amplitude, which is like $20 now anyway. I know half the fun of Guitar Hero is the controller, but Amplitude will get you in much more of a musical trance with its more difficult tracks.
