Wasn’t even going to post today, but it’s a beautiful cool night outside and the fresh air coming through the doors told me to get my ass in gear. So hear are a few late-night links before I call it a day…

“Help me, dude!”

All I can say is wow.

“According to the inquiry report and the testimony of the only survivor, the crash happened because of a panic sparked by the escape of a crocodile hidden in a sports bag.”

Ditto.

“But for me, we’d be in world-wide depression.”

I can’t figure out whether Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is borderline senile or just pathetic. I’m guessing a little bit of both. Either way, it’s time to put him and his incumbent friends out to pasture for good.

“The World Series is coming to Texas.”

It was great and very satisfying to watch the New York Yankees get eliminated by the spunky, upstart Texas Rangers. I’ve always said watching the Yankees lose is better than watching the Red Sox win, and tonight was no exception as the Evil Empire looked old and decrepit as they were outplayed by Texas throughout virtually the entire ALCS.

“Way too funny. The video work really hit home.”

Jerry “Keys” Palma’s comment on the Top Priority video smash, “Rhythmic Blues”. He ought to know, he was there.

“If you believe Hillary Clinton is the future of the Democrat Party and would make a better president, then you must stay home on November 2nd and don’t vote.”

I think Rush Limbaugh and his “Reverse Operation Chaos” plan is onto something here. Were I a Democrat I’d definitely consider it. If the Republicans take more than, say, 75 seats in the House and win the Senate (not such a far-fetched thought) the pressure might very well be on Hillary Clinton to take on Barack Obama in the 2012 primaries. Me, I’d love to see it – not that I’m much of a Hillary fan, but compared to Obama she’d at least look an act like a President should.

“It’s hard enough I know just to feel your own pain.”

One of my all-time favorite guitar solos is from David Spinozza on John Lennon’s “Aisumasen (I’m Sorry)”, a cut from his 1973 album “Mind Games”. Simple and very bluesy.
