The Many Faces of Greydon Clark

The time is at hand for the long awaited 1st Annual Kirkwood LONG BOARD DAY.
Meet at 10 @ 10 and look for the dudes with the tasty looking Blizzard Thermos and RD Valdez Extremes. Oh, what are long boards? Minimum length is 210 cm. Any shorter… FUCK OFF. I can't wait to ski the MEAT and slay the GNARR on the big planks, sans side-cut!

Update, shit went off.

The federal judiciary is target de jour of Christian fucktards in Congress and Churches across the inbred South. Raise your hand if Tom DeLay and John Cornyn's recent spat of inflammatory proclamations against federal judges made your blood boil. Pick up a brick if you find it painfully obvious that their comments reflect a larger scheme to reshape federal courts. Clearly DeLay and his cronies in the GOP are implementing a multi-pronged strategy to pack the nation's courts with ideologues loyal to the Vampire Cult. The nomination of extremist judges, the campaign to eliminate the filibuster, and the attempt to break up the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals are each part of a larger picture. DeLay and friends want to develop a court system with predetermined outcomes.

In eighth grade I learned that federal judges receive lifetime appointments so they can make decisions that are independent of the current political climate. But when the courts decide it is okay to let a human vegetable die, be forewarned, the powers are going to fix the problem. Any Mormon worth his second wife knows that the easiest way to ensure that the courts produce the "right" decisions is to jettison the notion of balance and nominate and confirm loyal ideologues. Under the current Senate rules this is very difficult, but majority leader Bill Frist is considering changes to make it much easier. The "nuclear option" would eliminate the minority party's ability to filibuster and, in practice, allow the majority party to confirm nominees to the federal bench at will -- independent of how extreme, unqualified, or unacceptable to a broad constituency of Americans the nominee is.

Great, I can’t wait until we have fuckers like current Ninth Circuit nominee William G. Myers making decisions that affect us all. When employed as a lobbyist for the mining and cattle industries, this douche filed two amicus briefs with the Supreme Court arguing it was illegal for the federal government to enforce the Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts. Who knows what kind of slobbering ghoul Bush has waiting in the wing to fill the looming Supreme Court vacancy.

But why should the good soldiers in Christ’s army settle for changing Senate rules when they can change the entire federal court system? In October 2004, the House of Representatives voted to split the Ninth Circuit federal appeals court into three new courts. Why? The Ninth is delivering decisions unacceptable to the red necks in rural California, Oregon, Washington and the welfare whore in Alaska.

We are the damned.

In case you can’t read the Internet yourself, the new Lungfish album will drop this summer. Without a doubt, this album will be absolutely banger. How do I know? In October Lungfish was in SF recording Feral Hymns with Tim Green, they played a show and I was as impressed as ever.

Also, rumor has it the Crooked Fingers are discovering all new ways to suck.

Yo, yo, yo… just got back from a Deerhoof show in Oakland and it was the sickness. The show was at the Metro which is only notable ‘cause the venue is next to a porno shop. Kind of funny to think that some dude was trying to yank one off to Anal Vixens of Texas and losing his erection when the trumpet scatters its awful sound.

Deerhoof is clean tone riff rock with blast beats. A collection of contradictions and frequently annoying beyond belief, they have the ability to amaze. And tonight they were amazing. Saddly, they did not play Beep Beep.
