Off By A Decade, Hillary

With your claims of a right-wing conspiracy. The plot thickens with word that the Attorney General and BUSH'S INITIAL PICK TO BE ON THE SUPREME COURT Harriet Miers trying to stack the entire deck of ninety-three federal attorneys based on their loyalty to the administration. Starting in 1994, it started with Congress. Thankfully, the entire impeachment process backfired; however, they still stole the 2000 election giving them the presidency. The goal was actually neither: it was the judiciary. Bush has already been able to place two conservatives and there are prayer chains set up nation-wide for John Paul Stevens to forget his Geritol. In order to work cases to the Supremes, they need ways in the door and by purging the first deck of the nine districts was a start. The Reischtag's not even on fire and yet I'm smelling a lot of smoke coming out of 1600 PA Ave.

All of this continues to make me lose faith in the Republican Party. Guilt by association but how can I continue to trust anyone who still is faithful to the Bush Administration and its supporters in D.C.? How much more can the Bushies take just in this week? The attorney purge; Walter Reed; Cheney again connecting Iraq and al Qaeda; Bush's warm (tongue in cheek) reception in Latin America; what else? I'm just praying that George actively campaigns for the GOP nominee in 2008. He'll help ANYONE other than that person get elected!!!

Neil Young in 1971. What else needs to be said? Remember that scene in Almost Famous (the director's cut) when William Miller's thumbing through his sister's lp collection in his bedroom? Simon and Garfunkel's "America" playing and the audience just beginning to wonder what the film's going to do. Then, there they come: Pet Sounds. Blonde On Blonde. Axis: Bold As Love. The Stones' second album. CSN's first one. Then, wait, what the heck was that one? I don't have that and I've never even SEEN that! Rewind and pause: the cover of one of Cameron Crowe's favorite bootlegs. Neil Young live at Massey Hall in January 1971. Now I have an acoustic show from a month later and it literally smokes itself out of the disc player. I just came home with this one in hand with the dvd and I can't wait to throw it in the player. Seventeen songs in solo form, good voice (even the Kermit the Frog is cool) and what an incredible setlist. Thanks for opening the vault, dude.
