They didn't know how to take it when Zero was on and you snap into this Billy Corgan-like trance, grab me and yell "Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness<BR/>And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me!!!!" and then we started jumping around. Great times.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082265494052859780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785387207570374478.post-70183263806466586052008-02-29T20:42:00.000-05:002008-02-29T20:42:00.000-05:00I missed the debate (coaching hoops), so I'm not g...I missed the debate (coaching hoops), so I'm not going to weigh in on that, but let's just say the Smashing Pumpkins make some of the best rock videos ever. All of them are good. E, I forgot about the video for "Disarm"--good stuff. One more, then I'm done, check out the video for "Zero":<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AywjnBXnVZk<BR/><BR/>This is my favorite Pumpkins song, and the video is great.LSouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11118635001610508531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785387207570374478.post-42107304066575449942008-02-28T23:58:00.000-05:002008-02-28T23:58:00.000-05:00oh don't get me wrong, i don't feel bad at all for...oh don't get me wrong, i don't feel bad at all for Hillary, it was just pretty easy to see Obama getting served up softballs and her getting dumped on time after time. i thought it was pretty hillarious actually, until i remembered that its not the media's job to make me laugh.<BR/><BR/>also, i forgot to mention after your latest train of thought lounge post, but i completely agree w/ south's choices. don't sleep on the video for "Disarm," a great video and equally great song:<BR/><BR/>http://youtube.com/watch?v=QQtLoJlQD6EAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785387207570374478.post-36411454972185422932008-02-28T20:44:00.000-05:002008-02-28T20:44:00.000-05:00To a certain extent I think the media has been goi...To a certain extent I think the media has been going harder at Hillary recently. From all accounts her campaign is horrible to deal with and takes a unusually hostile approach in dealing with the media, so I think people might have gotten sick of that and are looking to get their kicks in while she's down.<BR/><BR/>I might feel bad about all this if the media weren't solely responsible for creating her into a vital presidential candidate. From 2003 until November this year, all we heard was the media hyping her as the next nominee when her accomplishments/political talents hardly merited her being a US senator. Not really sure why they decided to tear her down now, but it's the least they can do for after senselessly building her up. As for the media deciding the race... as Hillary Clinton's inexplicable rise to frontrunner shows, their role in this process can't be overestimated.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082265494052859780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785387207570374478.post-88307399324453454672008-02-28T19:49:00.000-05:002008-02-28T19:49:00.000-05:00i saw the debate & my concern was that while Obama...i saw the debate & my concern was that while Obama could hammer Hillary over and over again about her support of NAFTA, he didn't want to create too many waves by pledging to dismantle it if he became prez. i guess i can't really blame him, though. the nomination is now decidedly his to lose so he doesn't have to do anything outlandish at this point. plus, i thought the moderators, especially tim russert, were WAY more critical of Clinton than Obama during the debate. what do y'all think? is this another case of the media deciding who will win?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
