SHE WORE IT OUT, BUT SHE WORE IT WELL

If yr wondering why I haven’t blogged about Sarah Palin’s hypocritical “I’m an average working class hockey mom who spends more on clothes in two months than 90% of Americans make in a year”:

It’s because (1) [livejournal.com profile] lorilori  does it better, and  (2) I’ve been waiting for Jon Stewart to get around to it and put it on the Internets.


Oh, and while we’re here, could someone tell John McCain that constantly calling Barack Obama a “socialist” makes him sound older than he looks? And while yr at it, tell him that if Obama qualifies as a socialist, then so does McCain’s greatest American hero, Teddy “Ivan” Roosevelt.

How do you sleep,

This is dF

And here I thought I was the only one who actually liked "The Pretty Things Are Going to Hell".

Bravissimo!

It's the only good song on that album (and I say that as a longtime Bowie fan) but it's one of the most awesome lyrics anyone has ever written.

It's a terrific song. I think the timing was bad, though--if Bowie had put it out a couple of years earlier it would have done a lot better. Too much guitar for 1999, too grungy a sentiment for the rising era of shitpop...
