Blindness

Last night on TV I witnessed a highly disturbing thing. I was watching Family Guy and during one of the commercial breaks, an ad for Mitsubishi cars came on. The background music sounded oddly familiar. It had a throbbing, distorted bass line, scratchy guitars and a powerful yet swinging drum beat. And then all of a sudden I heard Mark E. Smith‘s voice. What the hell? Yes, that’s right, The Fall are helping to sell American cars now.

Judge for yourself, does this song make you want to buy Mitsubishi automobiles?

Don’t even get me started on Of Montreal and Outback Steakhouse.

Shameful

So, the repubs are all in a tizzy over Kerry’s recent remarks. They’re demanding that he apologize to our troops. After all, it is shameful to criticize anyone who is serving or has served our country. As President Bush says,

“Even in the midst of a heated campaign season, there are still some things we should all be able to agree on, and one of the most important is that every one of our troops deserves our gratitude and respect.”

Well, I couldn’t agree any more. Anyone who has served our country in the military deserves our utmost respect. To act otherwise truly is shameful.
