If Barack Obama changes name to Sen. Bail Organa, which sounds similiar, there you have the next president of the United States.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

It's interesting seeing all the little ways people are trying to help. Kids setting up lemonade stands and sending the proceeds to Katrina Relief. Yard Sales to the same effect. eBay has set up a special thing where you can sell stuff and have the proceeds go to the relief effort.


Actually, my cousin was mentioned on Channel One (School) news this morning. I had no idea she had done anything, oddly.

The West Wing is going to beat the real world to the punch there, making Bail Organa president later this year. They're calling him Matthew Santos, but I recognize him without that goatee. My midichlorian count is high enough to resist that mind trick.

But back to the topic at hand, it is interesting to see Republicans falling over each other to lay blame everywhere within their own camp while the Democrats are holding their cocks saying things like "So, what do you think of this Roberts guy?" I mean, are these guys being perpetually neuralized or something? Geeze. The only thing that's saving the Republicans right now is the Democrats (or lack thereof).

speaking of doing what we can to help out and donate money.

There is a guy who lurks here (if you know who it is, please respect his anonymity by not revealing his identity) who is a musician in DC. He's sending ALL the proceeds from his CD and iTunes sales through the end of this year to Katrina relief. Visit http://www.clator.com/ for details.

for those of you that are skeptical of such things, this is legit and the guy is very trustworthy, i wouldnt post it if that wasnt the case. as for me, well i would hope that the various people ive sent discs to and traded with on this board will back me up.

That Clator fella (woo-hoo! I finally get to use his real name here!) is a terrific friend, a dang good musician and songwriter, and all around "good people." This isn't the first time he's donated music sales money to good causes, either. I already have both of his CDs (and then some), so I'm donating the amount I'd otherwise spend on them.

It's a clever idea. Charity that gives the donor something in return as well.

I didn't know we had a musician on here? Learn something new every day.
