New Music Monday: El Gunicho - Palmitos Park

Hey Music Goons-

The track this week comes from “El Gunicho” which in Spanish means The Guincho.

He describes his music as “space age exotica”…sounds nice to me.  His music has been compared to Os Mutantes, which is a great band too.

I Should Have Known You Would Ruin The Pro-Life Rally

Now you knew when you meet me Barbara, that I am not one to hold back on how I feel, or someone who makes a habit of biting their tongue, so it should come as no surprise when I tell you that the decisions you made regarding the catering of our church’s anti-abortion rally were solely responsible for its’ failure and will more than likely lead to more abortions than less. That may seem harsh, and if it has hurt you than I am sorry you feel that way, but I am not sorry for saying it.

It is my duty, not only as the head of our Bible study group, but as a Christian woman to be honest even at the risk of hurting one of my dear friend’s feelings. When you brought up the idea of bringing some light snacks to our next rally, I was apprehensive to say the least but against my better judgement, I did not openly voice my concerns. Although I did mention to Nancy and Diane that I thought it was a horrible idea. Did they listen? Of course not. I’m only the sole individual responsible for coordinating the event, finding pictures of the murdered babies, blowing them up at Kinko’s, and checking with the police department to see how close we could legally position ourselves in front of the high school.

And I didn’t want to bring this up but did it ever cross your mind whether or not you should have gotten my approval before introducing it at the meeting? Apparently not based upon the way you ambushed me in the middle of the planning session. I let you into one of the most exclusive Bible clubs in Colorado Springs and this is how you repay me?

I immediately knew I had made a mistake by not vetoing your idea when I showed up at the school that morning and saw the cotton candy machine. How you thought soft, colorful, delicious candy was going to help stop innocent babies from being aborted I will never know.

Even if you had good intentions, the food you brought to the rally seemed to attract more attention then the message we were attempting to spread. Instead of making good use of my time by getting the word out on the evils of Planned Parenthood, I spent the majority of it  assuring the students that the mini-burgers were in fact free and that they could have as many refills of soda as they desired. The goal of these rallies is to get kids to discuss and debate the rights of Pro-life and the wrongs of pro-choice, the only discussion I saw them having was a debate over who got to eat the last hot dog.

I would never ever suggest that you are some sort of Judas, but the way you went around my back and turned my rally into some sort of all you can eat buffet was far from Christ-like.  I can not count the number of students who complimented me on how much more they liked this year’s graduation picnic than last year’s, so don’t come crying to me when you find that your responsibilities have been greatly diminished next month at our gay marriage protest. I am not the one who was rescued from obscurity by a stranger and given everything a God fearing woman could ever want from a weekly church group only to return the favor with Judas-like treachery.

I don’t know where to go from here, I have some serious decisions to make. I have gone against my God given instincts a couple of times with you and I don’t know if the Bible Group can afford another one of your blunders. Only time and prayer will answer that question. I am praying for you and I suggest you do the same. If I do allow you to stay, you will be walking on eggshells and if you mess up again, you will be right back where I found you- taking minutes at Jews for Jesus meetings.

New Music Monday: Empire of the Sun - Walking on a Dream

This is the slow jam of the year. Empire of the Sun is the side project of the lead singer of the great Australian band the Sleepy Jackson.

He writes extremely unique and often bizarre songs that stick in your head.

A positive tune for some hopeful days.

Socialist Successfully Overthrows U.S. Government

Washington D.C.– Socialist Barack Obama made good on his intentions to “fundamentally change” the U.S. on Tuesday, by instigating a political coup d’etat and seizing power of the Executive Branch of the United States of America.

Obama, along with a fringe group of 63 million American radicals, gained control by coordinating an immensely organized strike, which they launched from churches, postal offices and elementary schools in practically every city in America.

Senator Obama, who is known for his disgust with the American flag and everything it represents, began his coup almost two years ago by touring the country and openly berating it’s policies as well as commander in chief George W. Bush, steadily gaining supporters along the way. In his numerous speeches he made no attempt to be clandestine in his intentions to remove sitting President Bush and take control of the United States,  even going as far as revealing policies he planned to institute if he was successful. Policies which include raising taxes, redistributing wealth and, in his own words, “securing health care for every American”.

Socialists galvanized around Obama and his interest in removing the President of the United States from power, displaying their shared convictions by touting Obama paraphernalia on their cars, homes, or person and attending his rallies around the country in support of his nefarious plans of subversion. But it didn’t stop there, some have estimated that as a many as five million rebels actively participated in the coup; spreading anti-capitalist propaganda in person, over the phone, and on the web.

Many, most notably Senator McCain and Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, have been warning Americans of Obama and his intentions for some time. Both McCain and Palin made valiant efforts to get the word out on not only Barack Obama’s socialist agenda, but his questionable relations with known terrorists and fanatics as well. Governor Sarah Palin in particular, attempted to highlight these relations in a speech in Englewood, Colorado where she told of the Senator’s fondness for “palling around with terrorists”.

In the wake of the takeover, Republican Senator Mel Martinez has placed the blame squarely at the feet of the Bush Administration, criticizing the former president in an interview Tuesday evening.

“The Bush administration has failed us by refusing to acknowledge and deal with the Obama threat. If they had acted instead of being complacent, we would not be in this situation today.”

Martinez went on to point out the various ways in which the administration refused to take the socialist threat seriously, citing a speech Obama game in Berlin last July where he announced to 100,000 people that “this is our moment” and advocated drastic policy change. Martinez believes that statements like these were made by Obama in an attempt to gain support from the rest of the world in anticipation of his takeover.

It has yet to be seen how long Obama and his socialist agenda will remain in power, with experts predicting that it may be anywhere from four to eight years before his reign ends. Even then, Obama has already stated that his second in command, Senator Joe Biden, would be an excellent replacement.

McCain Encourages Crowd To Get out and Vote Nov. 5th

Tallahassee, Florida– At one of his last minute speeches before election day, McCain made a brief campaign stop at a NAACP meeting in Florida where he encouraged the audience to show up and make their voice heard at the polls this Wednesday.

” Regardless of your political affiliation or who you support in this election,” McCain proclaimed before an audience of around 5,000, ” It is imperative that you are involved in the political process and have your voices heard by getting out to the ballot boxes and voting this Wednesday, November the 5th”.

McCain went on to encourage the audience to not only vote themselves but to get the word out to friends, relatives, co-workers and stress the importance of partaking in this election.

“I realize you are hard working Americans who might find it difficult to get out to the polls. But in this, the  greatest democracy in the world, it is of utmost importance that you get involved in the political process. So this Wednesday morning get up early if you have to, carpool if you have to, but make sure you show up and vote for your candidate. ”

Local auto mechanic Ray Davis who was present at the speech, expressed his concern about voting ” I am a little embarrassed, I took off the Tuesday to go vote,  and I don’t think that my boss is going to let me have Wednesday off as well. It looks like I really screwed the pooch on this one”.

The speech was short and to the point with the emphasis on the importance of voting than on the plans or policies he will institute if elected.

“While Senator Obama is still pushing the same old agenda we have heard from him for the past couple of years, myself and Governor Palin have decided it is more important that you get out and have your voices heard regardless of who you support. When the dust settles on Wednesday evening, the people will have spoken and that is the most important part of any election “.
