Wait!
Oh yes, wait a minute Mr. Postman.
Lesson
One: Never vote Absentee. It's
dreadfully obvious that your vote's hardly ever taken
into account. Which is a real drag. And,
what's the big deal with trying to find out who
really won this election? Isn't that a good
thing? Perhaps those who are afraid of a
recount are afraid of losing...
Plus,
did Katherine Harris dress up like Katherine Helmond
from Brazil for Halloween
and forget to take her costume off? And
doesn't Karen Hughes kind of remind you of Alice
Nelson's cousin from the military who subbed for
Alice when she went out of town and made the Bradys
get up and do calisthenics every morning?
Question
Of The Week 1©: What was Alice's cousin's
name and why did Alice need to leave for a week?
In
What's Happening With Other Jackasses This Week©: Little
Nicky not only opened in 2nd place,
but made less than half of Big
Daddy's opening total. Now,
THAT'S funny.
Speaking
of movies, does anyone else think the new Ah-nold
movie art looks like a poster for Tommy?
Okay,
the first single off the Green Day record sounded
just like They Might Be Giants, and the new one (the
title cut) sounds just like "Picture
Book". I'll give you a
"Warning", plagiarism suits can be a real
bitch.
Favorite
Album Of All Time This Week©: The

God save little shops, china cups & virginity,

Speaking
of the no respect, let me just take this opportunity
to say (again) that Blur could be the most
important British Band of the 90's and - much like
the Kinks - their importance/influence will not be
realized in their time/prime. The new single
"Music Is My Radar" from The
Best Of Blur [Food/EMI] is an
exceptional record. Dig the video if you get a
chance. And, I'm not saying that the Kinks were over
after the 60's, either. Misfits and
Sleepwalker are stellar
motherfuckers. And I still love cranking up
"Destroyer".
I
realize that MNF was coming from Mile High Stadium,
and that fact opened things up to a bunch of
annoying Denver Mint references - but did anyone
else bust out laughing when they played "The
Power Of Gold" after a station break?
