After 8 long disastrous years, we are on the verge of taking our country back.

When George W. Bush stole the election of 2000, I told everyone that everything is going to change, and I was right. Bush and Cheney ran our country, and others, into the ground. The damage they have done will take decades to even begin to turn around.

Barack Obama along with a 60 member Democratic fillibuster-proof majority in the Senate is our best shot to turn the tide of war, the economy, climate change, and renewing our standing and image with the rest of the world.

If you are on the fence about voting for your Democratic representative, PLEASE give them a shot...and your vote. Our future depends on it.

If we win tomorrow, lets celebrate! (Give me a call.) If we don't, I may never leave the house again...until plans are made to move to Canada...or Mexico...or France.

So...GO VOTE! No excuses. Now is OUR time. Go Obama & Franken!

~ Lizzy

PS. One more note to the fence riders, when you go into the voting booth, and see the name of John McCain, I hope you conjure up the image of George Bush in your head, because there is NO difference.

When you see the name Norm Coleman, remember he voted with Bush almost 90% of the time.

When you see the name Dean Barkley, remember that is essentially a vote for Norm Coleman...who voted with Bush almost 90% of the time.

...and when you see the name Sarah Palin, remember this.

Or, if you're voting for Sarah Palin because she's hot, then go fuck yourself, because you are a moron.

Good night.

Lyrics to everclear's new song, "Jesus was a Democrat":

Jesus Christ didn't have blue eyes or blond hair
He looked just like all those people that you want to kill
Spin your hell into a heaven you can sell
Make it look like California with a bible belt
Jesus didn't look like the boy next door
Unless you live in Palestine
I wonder what you mean by the golden rule
I think it is a scary play on words
I wonder what they taught you back in Sunday school

I bet you think of him
As a nice clean long haired Republican, nah
He would be all locked up in Guantanamo Bay
If he were alive today
He would have been a revolutionary
Wanted by the CIA

I picture him in all the wrong places
Finding diamonds in the dirt
A star of David tattoo
And a Che t-shirt
Jesus Christ was a left wing radical Jew
Murdered by people like you

If Jesus was a Democrat like the bible says he was
I don't think he's going to want to take the blame
For all the awful things you say and do in his name

If Jesus was alive he would be sad to see
That it is no different than it used to be
Someday he's going to call you out
I am pretty god damned sure ......
He is going to be angry
He is going to be angry

You want to know what I think?.......

I think Jesus would have been a card carrying liberal
If he was a young man born in the USA

He would not be "fiscally conservative"
And he wouldn't vote for John McCain
All those so called Christians that you see on TV
Maybe they scare Jesus like they scare me
Kick you the hell out of my temple too
Too many elephants in the room

If Jesus was a Democrat like the bible says he was
I don't think he's going to want to take the blame
For all the awful things you people do and say in his name

If Jesus was alive today he would be sad to see
That it is no different than it used to be
Someday he's going to call you out
I am pretty god damned sure......
He is going to be....mad
He is going to be angry
He is going to be....mad
He is going to be....mad

You say Jesus loves the little children
And I say I know that's true
I say he loves all the Muslims and the Jews
All the addicts and the porn stars too
You say Jesus died to save us all from a fiery hell
I say Jesus died to save us
Save us from ourselves
Will you save me from myself?

If Jesus was a liberal like the red letters say he was
I know he would have big love for all the killers and the racists
And the bully's in this world

If Jesus was alive today
And you had a chance to meet him face to face
I'm pretty God-damned sure that you and your friends
Would find some way to kill him all over again
You would kill him all over again
Again and again and again
Just like you always do
You do just what you always do

Tommy & I went to St. Paul last night to check out the RNC, and to get up close to the team on MSNBC.

With the Xcel Center blocked off to us ordinary Americans, we had to walk for miles in order to get to Rice Park to see Chris Matthews, and the gang.

It was fun seeing all the pundits doing their thing, but watching the protesters on the right was maddening. I've never seen such a display of ignorance and racism....not just toward Obama, but also to me personally.

I was called many things...communist, terrorist, hippy, stinkin' hippy, and my favorite, dreadlocked glass thrower? (For the record, I believe in peaceful protesting and have never resorted to violence.) However, some on the other side were threatening. When a neanderthal of a man tried to butt in front of me, I called him out on it. His response was to threaten to "punch my face in." (Tommy missed this pleasant exchange due to a cig break.)

While I may be on the other end of the political spectrum than them, I will say this.... if our President had been a Democrat that screwed this country into the ground, started a war under false pretenses, and ruined our standing with the rest of the world, I would have burned my DNC card a long time ago.

I guess that's the difference between them and us.

On a lighter note, I met a lot of really great people...and I did get to be on TV for a few seconds.

In summation...

Obama must win this election.

I'm about to upload the band flyers and a few other things I collected from the early to mid 80's. The 8 x10's were scanned in. The larger ones were photographed.

And, I have to give a special shout out to Michelle (number 3 in my Top Friends.) If it weren't for Michelle, I probably would have never left the house and my Elvis Costello & Ramones records. Having a best friend like Michelle, and a sister that worked at Duffy's made me the person I am today....not sure if that's a good thing or not!  ; )

Rock on.

Check out this week's episode of A&E's Intervention. It's about a woman that is hooked on computer duster...as in the aerosol stuff you use to clean out your keyboard, etc. She huffed about 10 cans of the stuff a day.

It's one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.

Whatever happened to good old coke & heroin?

The Power of Images

The New Yorker cover only reinforces the silly Obama rumors.

by Jonathan Alter -- Senior Editor and Columnist for Newsweek

...that the women that are against abortion, you wouldn't want to fuck anyway?"

- George Carlin

George Carlin was one of my heroes. I saw him in 1981, and I've never laughed so hard in my life.

He was the creme of the crop and will be missed tremendously.

...was the trailer for the new X-Files film.

Man, what happened to M. Night Shyamalan? Between this disappointment, and his previous film, Lady in the Water (which was even worse), I think he's lost it.

The premise of The Happening was good, and there was a few cool scenes, but the bad acting and poor execution sank it.

Remember The Sixth Sense, The Village, and Unnbreakable? Now THOSE were great films.

Take an extended break and write a good film, M. Night...even if it takes you 10 years. I know you still have it in you somewhere.
