A sad day for America to be sure.

I can just hear the brain-dead American public: Ben Franklin? Wasn't he some liberal way back when?
Friday, July 11, 2008 at 5:59:00 PM CDT
Yeah, like he's the dude on the $100 bill who was the president that invented the kite, right?
I side with the libs on this one. Rest in peace, 4th Amendment.

Look at you going political! What? No pretty pictures?
Venjanz - yeah, if this were a Clinton presidency pulling this shit your boys would be all over it. The fucking 4th Amendment has nothing to do with right/left. Glad we aren't a partisan country.
Fear certainly brings out the best in our people. I love this country.

Sean, It took me a while to decode your LINK, but it was worth it. Well said by Eisler.

Evo,
Yeh sorry I as posting late and on me new laptop, hampered by a touchpad and not remembering where I stored the code for creating links.
By the way missed your performance on the latest AGDPC, are they not letting you sing? Will you be taking requests?
Oh and Barry Eisler writes some kickass books besides political commentating
Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 11:20:00 PM CDT
Yes, his books did look interesting. I may put him on my "I know I may never read it but I'd like to list". I'm woefully behind right now.
I do have a song in mind. I'll probably bust it out on the next podcast, but you never know what's going to make OG's final cut. Some of my finest songs were left on the floor of her 4 story editing facility.

"Some of my finest songs were left on the floor of her 4 story editing facility."
Hate to break the news to you, but they never made it to the floor; they went directly to the trash basket.

Come on guys, I think Evo has that rough rustic quality to his singing.
I imagine him on his back porch banjo in hand, grass stem hanging from the corner of his mouth, hound dog lazing at his feet.

Man, aside from O.G.'s entertaining posts, I also enjoy reading the comments that this blog gets.
