Two Handed Tales

Let none say that Citizen j doesn't provide the goods, being as "goods" are defined as "cartoons featuring well-endowed ladies killing Nazis/vampires".



Black Lagoon has the usual suspects, with a healthy action-to-filler ratio. Quite unlike certain kiddie Anime that's really pissing me off right now.



I'm not saying there's any parallels to electoral tyranny here. There probably isn't, other than a broad theme of personal power against legacy institutional power. One must shoot from both hips with accuracy and choose one's battles well. Even so, don't expect more than to be crushed with intact principles. A hero is just a troubled loner until they succeed, and they usually fail.

Now here's some beatz straight outta Beruit.

Some of my favorite heroes are just musicians, or in the case of HipHop/Beatmixing, just people with music. Pretty lame for a hero. Not really very heroic. I could say, "well, music, you know, it affects the vibe, it, you know, like, informs and such" but we both know that's shit. Music is less an agent of change than that spunky new haircut of yours. Music may be a measure of a civilization's spark, but it's more likely a reflection of human iconoclastic narcissism and a testament to our inability to understand harmony while mistaking uneccessary complication in artiface for beauty and ingenuity.

From the good folks at http://www.linktv.org/. Question: if the USA is in the Western Hemisphere, why do we spend so much time and money and blood in the Eastern Hemisphere?

Remember, the answer is not "oil". We already covered the Myth of Arab Oil.

Bonus Question: Why don't you want a direct vote for Chief Executive?
