Next time I see that Bleeker kid I'm going to punch him in the wiener.

Randal took the time to drop Esmerelda, climb down from his belltower and slap me with a meme.

The idea is to list the top 25 tracks on your mp3 player at this moment.

I'm going to place this fair. I put my music on my phone and I just got a new phone for my birthday and haven't had a chance to upload a ton of stuff. As of right now I currently have the following full albums-

1) Soundtrack to Juno (This is absolutely awesome.)
2) Bob Marley - Legend
3) Best of Frank Sinatra
4) Otis Redding - 1968 - In Person at the Whisky A Go Go
5) Pink Floyd Echoes - The Best of Pink Floyd
6) Rolling Stones - Touring Party Vol. 1
7) Rolling Stones - Goats Head Soup

Out of those I'd pick--

Anyone Else But You (Juno)
Tire Swing (Juno)
Kick Out of You (Sinatra)
So Nice So Smart (Juno)
No Woman, No Cry (Marley)
Could You Be Loved (Marley)
Redemption Song (Marley)
Waiting in Vain (Marley)
I've Been Loving You Too Long (Redding)
Try a Little Tenderness (Redding)
Fly Me To The Moon (Sinatra)
Luck Be A Lady (Sinatra)
Hide Your Love (Stones)
Angie (Stones)
Hey You (Floyd)
Learning to Fly (Floyd)
Wish You Were Here (Floyd)
Money (Floyd)
Marooned (Floyd)
Satisfaction (Stones) (I know it's f-ed out but I still love it.)
Start Me Up (Stones)
The Last Time (Stones)
Shattered (Stones)
Brown Sugar (Stones)
Paint It Black (Stones)
Also- Liberality sucker punched me with a meme last week-

1) Where were you ten years ago? Ever seen the "Deadliest Catch" on the Discovery channel? The show where the guys go out under incredibly dangerous conditions in arctic waters to catch crab? I was watching that.
2) What is on your to do list today? Return some books to the library. Talk to H.R. about a problem employee. Listen to the tunes on my phone. Make fun of the Elvis impersanator that sets up across from my place of work.
3) What would I do if I was a billionaire? I'm not one of those guys that would trade up to a new trophy wife and family but I would buy them all plastic surgery so it looked like I traded up.
4) Five places I've visited. Hawaii, Cuernevaca Mexico, Baja California, Washington D.C. and Gresham Oregon.
5) Bad habits - It takes me forever to answer tags.
Finally - special thanks to Joon for the Arte y Pico award. You rock!
I tag Swiney, donsnabalus, overdroid (because he hates being tagged,) westcoast walker and freida with whichever meme they want.

Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass.

I'm not happy that Barack Obama went on Fox this last weekend.

Who the hell is his audience here? Certainly not the base of the party which is PISSED that he broke the Democratic Fox boycott. Check out Markos' comments today raking Obama over the coals.

Along those lines Hillary Clinton is once again off her nut.

"My opponent, Senator Obama, opposes giving consumers a break from the gas tax," Clinton said at a firehouse. "I understand the American people need some relief," she added, implying that Obama doesn't get it.

Gas tax? Are you fucking kidding me?

The biggest reason progressives like myself think McCain's cut the gas tax idea is stupid is that there's absolutely no guarantee that will transfer to a price cut at the pump. The current tax is 18.4 cents/ gallon. Does anyone really believe that cutting that temporarily will mean the price of gas will drop accordingly?

Gas companies will drop the cost of gas by a couple of cents and pocket the difference. And the deficit will grow...

Hillary/ Barack please, I'm begging you - STOP PANDERING TO THE GODDAMNED RIGHT WING FRINGE OF THE COUNTRY!

The dead-enders that make up the FOX viewership (Dick Cheney) and the knuckleheads who think cutting the gas tax will really help consumers represent the radical extreme of American politics today. You don't need to suck up to those crazies. They'll never vote for you anyway.

Please bring you respective campaigns back to a focus on actual, red-blooded Americans.

Conservatives don't count.

Update-

Spirula points out in the comments that Shell and BP just posted records profits. Amazing that they can do that with gas taxes as high as they are.

Arkonbey linked to another blogger's take that a federal gas tax holiday sends the wrong signal to consumers and is "tantamount to feeding chocolate bars to a fat kid to make him feel better about his weight." Crass, but true.
