If, in addition to being one of the closest and most consequential presidential primary races in living memory, the Clinton-Obama contest were an old Leon Russell song…(The Sanity Inspector)

I’m up on a tightwire
One side’s ice and one is fire
It’s a circus game with you and me

I’m up on a tight rope
One side’s hate and one is hope
But the top hat on my head is all you see
And the wire seems to be the only place for me
A comedy of errors and I’m falling
Like a rubber neck giraffe you look into my past
Well maybe you’re just too blind to, see

I’m up in the spotlight
Oh does it feel right
Oh the altitude seems to get to me
I’m up on a tight wire
Flanked by life and the funeral pyre
Putting on a show for you to see

Like a rubber neck giraffe you look into my past
Well maybe you’re just too blind to, see

I’m up in the spotlight
Oh does it feel right
Oh the altitude seems to get to me
I’m up on a tight wire
Flanked by life and the funeral pyre
Putting on a show for you to see

    Pure energy(information society). He is saying he’s ‘high.’ High like in heaven, above it all, in pure energy. So, why would anyone think high is good? Damned. So, will Obama suck? Does he want a mind? Does he want a life? Does he want an eye, an ear? Does he want to force people to see? Does he want to stare through their eyes? Obama has done what and what is he doing while he’s high?

    I never like the show.

    I wrote a song once. It goes like this:

    Roses are red,
    Violets are blue.

    I haven’t finished it yet though :(.

    You smell like a skunk,
    and you look like one too.

    You’re welcome.

    Enough about politics for a moment.

    I just watched Redacted.

    There’s 90 minutes of my life wasted
    that I wont get back.
    What a crappy, cheap shot at the US Military and their mission in Iraq.

    There’s a sad story that should be told in what happened in Mahmoudiya… but De Palma cant let go of his hatred for the Bush administration and the US Military in general long enough to tell the horrible truth fairly and honestly.

    Fuck Brian De Palma…

    (and most especially fuck Pvt Steven Green.)

    If the Obama-Clinton race were an old
    Ned’s Atomic Dustbin song…

    he said, he said
    “you don’t know shit,
    because you’ve never been there”
    he turned upon her,
    took her by the hair
    spun her round about,
    laughing as she fell about,
    sat down for a drink
    in his father’s favourite chair

    kill… your……

    television…..

    (and I still wouldn’t understand what song was all about..)
