This circus is falling down on its knees
The big top is crumbling down
It's raining in Baltimore fifty miles east
Where you should be, no one's around
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I need a big love
I need a phone call
These train conversations are passing me by
And I don't have nothing to say
You get what you pay for
But I just had no intention of living this way
I need a phone call
I need a plane ride
I need a sunburn
I need a raincoat
And I get no answers
And I don't get no change
It's raining in Baltimore, baby
But everything else is the same
There's things I remember and things I forget
I miss you I guess that I should
Three thousand five hundred miles away
But what would you change if you could?
I need a phone call Maybe I should buy a new car
I can always hear a freight train baby if I listen real hard
And I wish it was a small world
Because I'm lonely for the big towns
so much rejection in every connection I make.

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Perhaps there is just no money in sadness, no dollars in duende. Sadness or duende needs space to breathe. Melancholy hates haste and floats in silence. It must be handled with care.
"All love songs must contain duende. For the love song is never truly happy. It must first embrace the potential for pain. Those songs that speak of love without having within in their lines an ache or a sigh are not love songs at all but rather Hate Songs disguised as love songs, and are not to be trusted. These songs deny us our humanness and our God-given right to be sad and the air-waves are littered with them. The love song must resonate with the susurration of sorrow, the tintinnabulation of grief. The writer who refuses to explore the darker regions of the heart will never be able to write convincingly about the wonder, the magic and the joy of love for just as goodness cannot be trusted unless it has breathed the same air as evil - the enduring metaphor of Christ crucified between two criminals comes to mind here - so within the fabric of the love song, within its melody, its lyric, one must sense an acknowledgement of its capacity for suffering."

Don't know what you peoples are doing this Wednesday..
Instead of going to the bar again this thanksgiving eve (the busiest bar night in the year)I was going to have people over to get fucked up and eat tacos.
And I don't mean just meat tacos!
No really, the bar situation is a shit show more and more each year, so its time to get bombed off my considerable liquor stocks (its the job, I swear).
To include such tasty things as leblon cachaca, DH Krahn Gin, Wild Turkey 101, 10 year old tawny port, and in case I have yet to shove it down your throat, some Absinthe.
Should be fantastic.
Let me know if youd like to come join us, and touch it slightly.

So while it is nice to be on the winning side for a change, its funny to see republicans go through what I did for the last 8 years.
For the record, I am not a huge obama fan, I think he is an exceptional speaker, but I am not big on him. I like Joe Biden, and I am a democrat so therefore I vote.
However, I find it comical that all the republicans are now running around talking about how scary the next four years will be and how all the problems we have now were created by democrats years ago.
I agree with some of that, but deregulation is not a democrats thing. That is a staunch republican ideal and that is what has made a lot of this mess. Cutting taxes is a staunch republican ideal and that is also what got us into this mess.
How you say?
Economic disaster in 9 easy steps!
Step one.
Towns need more money to pay for things, like schools(I know its crazy idea) and other services we demand(like trash pick up and police) since less government money is there post 9/11 because of security, war, planning, etc.
Step two
Towns and cities can't raise taxes without losing their jobs, so we can't increase mill rates(property taxes)
What can we do???
Step three
Assess everyone's house values 5-10% higher, more tax money, no complaining
SWEET!
Step four
WOW! now that peoples homes are worth more they are taking out equity and doing things and selling like hot cakes to make money, and scarily people are buying these inflated value homes(see above on deregulation)
Step five
Well now the market pricing is raising home values so towns get more taxes anyways!
SWEET!!!
lets cut the tax rate!!
Step Six
Shit, wait a minute, these people couldn't really afford ARMs and giant home equity loans, they certainly can't afford their taxes..
FUCK
Step Seven
Cry while government runs up huge debt and refuses to raise taxes! Cry while little jimmy doesn't get art at school anymore or little tommy's bike gets stolen because we can't pay day time police.
oops
Step Eight
Spend more money you don't have on a couple of expensive wars, a huge government bailout, and perhaps some other excessive craziness.
Step Nine
Profit.
So, am I scared about a democrat taking office?
Well, if its like 8 years with Clinton, 8 years of relative economic growth, relative little in the way of war and conflict and 8 proud years of republicans engaging in low blow tactics of impeaching someone for having an affair and lying about it?
I AM FOR IT SIR!
Maybe I can get a better tax credit on these student loans.
Maybe we can have an "Anthony Bailout Act of 2009" and we just forgive my loans and send me to law school for free.
I am so down.
How about impeaching someone for presenting inaccurate evidence to the UN to make a case for war??

Every 4 years people bitch and whine about the electoral college.
Newsflash everyone.
WE WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO PICK THE PRESIDENT.
The system is set up so that we were all supposed to vote for smarter people than us, to go get together with each states smarter people, to pick the smartest one out of all of us.
Imagine this scenario.
We elect a president. The president-elect is readying his transition. Someone leaks huge documents that say something like "Candidate A, has plans to use military intervention against the state of california, and set up concentration camps for gay people."
Or "Candidate B has plans to set up concentration camps for southerners viewed as 'jesus lovers'"
Or any horrible things that may come out directly after the election.
The electors, being smart people could say no way, and then change their votes.
Has an elector ever changed their votes? Yes, but not in modern times, most electors are bound by law to vote as the popular vote has gone, however, yes they could and if something grave and dire occurred I am sure they would.
It is another check in our system to ensure moderation.
Direct democracy is not a good idea.
Talk to all those states that used ballot referendums to outlaw gay marriage.
Moderation is the point of our government's constitution.
Direct democracy is destructive.
Ask Germany, ask the Greeks, ask a lot of peoples.

I think it was wonderful for once that congress stood up and said.
Hang on, we need to take more time on this one.
There are better ways to offer cash infusions than to give a bunch of investment banks money and say "well that didn't work, so try again!"
I mean if the government wants to buy back my debt when I come back from the casino I am totally cool with that.

I know you are looking at this.
Don't lie to me.
So there!
how does that feel!.
On another note, I think people need to settle down a bit, its only sept.
Jo'bama is still in good shape, campaigns are cyclical and who wants to be surging so soon?
As balls nuts as keith olbermman is, his Palintology segment is still pretty funny.
jelani you totally ditched me last night, it made me sad.
Anyone up for bringing back card nights?
Dewey and Mao this means you.

You know.
I don't really like Obama. I never really did. I volunteered for the Edward's campaign in New Hampshire. That didn't really get me anywhere, Clinton ate it, so I guess Im stuck with him.
I don't know he just seems like hes full of shit, and his track record is sketchy at best.
However, hes a democrat, so there you have it.
And on another exciting note, the man fist pounded his wife on television, and then it later got termed, by the fair and balanced fox news, as a "Terrorist Fist Jab"
That is fucking awesome. I was unaware that terrorists also used such method of affection. Normally reserved for teenagers, and some college kids who just can't let go.
Pretty sweet.
Now if only they would get on the fair part and call george w bush's latest "Im trying to dance at a cultural event Ive been regretably invited to" a "terrorist two step."
Then I would get excited.
On another note, im trying to get this job at a firm that markets alcohol.(right up my alley) So please start sending good chi!

For all those people out there who saw a ron paul video and thought
hey hes not so bad
enjoy his stance on healthcare
"Paul endorses free-market health insurance alternatives and abolition of Medicare. He accuses the FDA of endangering Americans by enforcing international regulations on nutrients and health care providers and would limit its authority."
Honestly, its just Medicare... who needs it? Old people keep sucking up all this money anyways...
