Happy May Day

Whelp, if nothing else, this'll get me branded as a socialist. Not that there's anything wrong with it, :) The international day of the worker. Even mentioning this in the U.S. brands someone left of liberal. By the time I'll be finished posting this, someone in the GOP will have already passed legislation recognizing the day of the large corporation that pays its executives much more than they deserve. Fitting for it to fall on April 15, but I repeat myself.
Bush's social security campaign is failing, a supermajority (and growing) of Americans opposes Bush's handling of the issue as well as the private accounts thing, studies are showing that middle and upper income earners will earn less under Bush's plan than the one that seems to have been doing just fine until two right-wing nutcase presidents opted to spend the country into fiscal disaster, and yet the GOP is drawing up a plan to be passed in June? What about the will of the people that wants affordable health care and a social security plan that is solvent? On a much lighter note, George Bush and Kim Jong Il are in a war of playground insults while North Korea has successfully tested a medium-range missile. On a related note, the government found no collusion between Iraq and Syria which was claimed by the Bush Administration as reason to continue the ground war that has resulted in almost 1,600 American deaths and over 100,000 Iraqi deaths. Notice that Bush's Axis of Evil is seeing the wheels coming off?
Four days and I'll be fifteen rows away from The Boss. I have yet to reveiw the new album, Devils and Dust. It's a wonderful record. I've listened to it at least once a day and most of the songs are starting to hit their mark. The best song on the album by far is "Jesus Was An Only Son", a gospel number that's reminiscent of Tom Waits. Can't wait to hear it live. The record's nickname should be "The Ghost of Lucky Town" and my friend Chris "Lefty" Brown (read his blog NOW) has reviewed it as a mixture of Johnny Cash and Woody Guthrie. Now, how can you go wrong with that?! More to follow...
