Not Like That

I was talking to "Rambo" today, he's stationed in NC with a huge paratrooper unit, brigade or whatever. Talking about Burn After Reading, the movie where Brad Pitt botches a blackmail attempt...



JG- "Shit, if Brad Pitt was in my house I'd shoot him in the head, too."
Rambo- "Hell yeah."
JG- "Granted, I'd probably recognize him once he's dead and I got over the initial shock....but whatever, he's in my damn house."
R- "I'd be proud. I'd mount him. And be like, That's Brad Pitt. I killed Achilles."

Land of Contradiction

You've got to love America, especially if you live here. I mean, it's simply brilliant! But, if you don't see that it's a land of contradiction, then you, my friends [in McCain accent], are fools.

JK Rowling denied top US honour

JK Rowling's Harry Potter's books have sold more than 400 million copies

Harry Potter author JK Rowling missed out on a top honour because some US politicians believed she "encouraged witchcraft", it has been claimed.

Matt Latimer, former speech writer for President George W Bush, said that some members of his administration believed her books promoted sorcery.

As a result, she was never presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

The claims appear in Latimer's new book called Speechless: Tales of a White House Survivor.

He wrote that "narrow thinking" led White House officials to object to giving Rowling the civilian honour.

The award acknowledges contributions to US national interest, world peace or cultural endeavours.

Past literary recipients of the award include John Steinbeck and Harper Lee.

Others denied the privilege under the Bush administration included Senator Edward Kennedy, who died in August this year.

Latimer claimed, in his book, that the veteran politician and health care activist was excluded because he was deemed to be too liberal.

Chelsea v Liverpool...

...with and African/AK47 twist!? I saw this on Chris Toy's blog (the guy who does the hilarious Studs Up comics) and I'm with him, I have no clue what the hell to make of this. It's like a bunch of African (continent, not black Americans) Liverpool and Chelsea fans just saw Scarface...or Three 6 Mafia's straight-to-DVD "Choices" gangster flick....and then made their own. Of course, with 'Pool and Chelski themes....? Yeahhh....check it out for yourself.



I'd say it's pretty funny, except for the fact that it took them no time at all to get the guns used in the clip, seeing as how they already owned them...

Scotch Mist

I remember "buying" this album when I was studying in London....it was a pay-what-you-want download....and this, "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi", along with "Reckoner", are the standout tracks on In Rainbows.



Excellent live version. And this is the winner for the RH music video contest...for the song "Reckoner"...
