Well the last two posts were about weird nature and our animal friends and this one is an old video I found by one of my all time favourite artists Hamilton's own Wax Mannequin. The song is "Thing Game" from the 2004 LP "The Price". The video isn't much to look at but the song is very dear to my heart for reasons I won't bore you with.
This post will be my last 'quickie about nothing relevant' until I have dropped something of socio-political relevance. The world is being rebooted by the arrogant parasite pricks who run the show and pull the strings of our puppet "leaders" and it is not looking good for the regular everyday people and the vilified poor. As my blood is beginning to boil, I really must begin ranting again or just fold up this blog into a paper airplane and fly it off the (possibly "for sale") CN Tower. Hell, I did not post one thing about Steve Harper's well over 300 million taxpayer dollar vanity electionshow a while back. I guess Canadians just enjoy being kicked in the face by metaphorical cliché spouting monsters because they just reaffirmed their thickness by plopping fat bastard back in charge of a minority parliament. What a bunch of rubes, but really the campaign was so content free and the opposition so neutered and uninspiring what else did anyone expect?
It seems , according to the Grand Neocon himself and in the simpleton American Republican tradition of dumb relating to dumber, the election came down to what kind of American corporate coffee chain you most identified with Tim Horton's or Starbucks, (Steve's peeps supposedly identifying with "Timmies" burnt cardboard-tasting swill). I brew my coffee at home, so seriously, up yours Steve and minions. Well the "Tim Horton's" people have spoken and the fire sale of what remains of progressive Canada continues unopposed. As Canada sinks into the shitty gas station toilet of Conservative malice I turn my gaze toward the high strangeness that lurks in the hearts of men and will begin posting some other thoughts soon. I hope you enjoyed the song.
