Honestly, is there anything that George W. Bush CANNOT fuck up?

The Vice President
Insprired - fuck it - STOLEN from Andrew Sullivan:
Traditionally the Vice-Presidency has been home to the dim but able career politician whose regional origin or personal contacts/machinery have been electorally useful to the ticket. We've had killers (Burr), criminals (Agnew), generically corrupt politicos (Colfax), energetic bullshit artists (TR), morally abject fucktards (Van Buren), and irrascible old farts (G. Clinton) among many other forgettable losers as Vice-Presidents of the United States, but none in our history have been as single-mindedly demented, even wicked, as Richard Cheney.
Who in turn got it here. I hate to be so redundant, but that was good...

Do yourself a favor and check out this outstanding rendition of the George Harrison classic performed by Jeff Lynn, Tom Petty, Dhani Harrison and the inimicable Prince shredding the famous Clapton composed solo.
Im sitting here doing nothing but aging,

American Beauty
The sheer beauty and truth of this part of this great movie still amazes me to this day, years after I first saw it (watch it here):
Lester Burnham [narrating]: I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isn't a second at all, it stretches on forever, like an ocean of time... For me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars... And yellow leaves, from the maple trees, that lined my street... Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper... And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new Firebird... And Janie... And Janie... And... Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday

Our Next President...
Hillary? Obama? McCain? Rudy? Edwards?
Well... maybe none of the above...
I could live with him, I guess...
Sometimes I dream,
that he is me,

Falwell Dead
Well here are a few thoughts on him:
Andrew Sullivan after hearing of his death: Since I can think of nothing good to say about him, I'll say nothing. And pray for the repose of his soul.
From CNN today, but an older quote from former President Jimmy Carter: "In a very Christian way, as far as I'm concerned, he can go to hell!"
Me? I'll stick with Sullivan on this one...
I'll leave him to God to judge.
Never to be tried nor be a judge,

Eddie and REM
The great Eddie Vedder joins REM on stage for a great version of Man on the Moon. I would meet both Vedder and Stipe later that night.
Just for the heck of it, here's REM doing the same song with the Boss.
Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp,

Saw the great Pete Townshend with my sister, Yolanda Aton, in Hollywood at the Hard Rock recently.
