Ay! Los Republicantes!

...obviously...

I think I like this one better:

Original

broken

(Hey, this is fun!)

You can read about the little stinker, here.

Beer + Clam + Tomato = ?

Yes, "going forward" is ugly and redundant.

I'm also unhappy with "on a daily basis" - what's wrong with just "daily" or "every day" ?

Their Favorite People

David Byrne opines:

Nothing much could be worse for Iraq than the US presence. Their superstructure has been destroyed, and left unrepaired. There is civil war. Their own oil isn’t bringing in money for them. So how could it be worse if we leave? It can't, really. Some folks are saying we broke it we should fix it. Tell that to someone who comes into your house and smashes all the furniture. That’s not the repairperson I would call. You might want to sue them, or kill them, or have them thrown in jail, but you don’t want them in your house ever again.

Brother Osama

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
To doors to go between, the wall was raised today
To doors remain before your others and your own
Keep these books well stocked away and take your happy home

My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

Two houses, connected by a tunnel.

Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best

(this post was cowritten by me, Michael Stipe, and REM. i really doubt the accuracy of the lyrics above, but i'm too lazy to figure out what i think he's saying)

O Hai!
