“Ya know, I don’t think you Brits understand that when the last blood of dinosaurs is drained from the Middle East, we will bomb the fuck out of you in the competition for the last drop.
As for Bush getting elected, it’s the same as Hitler. Bush represents most Americans, or at least a slim majority. But it’s a mean majority and we can expect a Reichstadt fire sometime during the next 10 years. Bush may be gone, Kerry may get elected, but we’ve got an oil habit kiddo, and a lust for empire and you will be roadkill if you get in the road.”

Ryan Gosling is fast becoming one of my favourite actors. The folks over at Lovefilm keep putting his work through my letterbox, and neither myself or Lucy have been disappointed so far. I found his portrayal of crack addict schoolteacher Dan Dunne in Half Nelson particularly inspirational, despite the apparent desperation of his situation throughout the film.

This story about Chevron is just outrageous. Even in context the “little countries” quote is just crazy. It’s a shame a man in Obama’s position can’t take more of a stand on these issues than allowing a spokesperson to reiterate a vanilla statement. I guess once he’s done campaigning he will be able to take up causes more actively, but only if his presidential campaign is unsuccessful – one has to worry that if he wins, running the mess that is America will take up 110% of his time… We need more good people in positions of power. -

I’m loving this. Jay is in the process of being corrupted by E. Badu, but it’s no reason to hate on him (until he turns to Kanye for beats – Common, some advice, Dilla, Poyser, ?uest, they helped you find forever long before Kanye turned up…)
