A few notes before sleeping ...

You know it's going to be a bad night when at midnight there's not ONE SINGLE SOUL downstairs. In fact it was so dead that we cut one of the security loose last night.

Our genius booking agent who has the same initials as Dipshit Tard decided to book rap acts last night. HELLO?

Of course he'll defend that with the answer "We're a concert hall. We don't have a theme." To which I always answer "Who's this 'WE" whiteboy?" The only time there is a "WE" is when he wants something. He's more than happy to ask for a cut above his normal pay if a show goes well. But don't even think about telling him that he has to make up for a bad show.

Thing is, if he thought it was a good idea to have rap acts in the club, why didn't he advertise it? Why was there only a tiny blip in our normal artvoice ad? And if he wasn't going to advertise that we were having such an odd gem in our club ... why would he tell the acts not to advertise it themselves. Why would he tell them he'd take care of it when he knew he wouldn't?

Gods! I wonder if he even realizes that the only reason he's not a pasty pulp in the backroom is because we have more self control than he has morals.

We're no longer allowed to assemble or protest.

Can we say "doomed to repeat history"? This just takes the cake. Ashcroft is once again emulating his idol, McCarthy.

" In addition to the subpoena of Drake University, subpoenas were served this past week on four of the activists who attended a Nov. 15 forum at the school, ordering them to appear before a grand jury Tuesday, the protesters said. "

" Those served subpoenas include the leader of the Catholic Peace Ministry, the former coordinator of the Iowa Peace Network, a member of the Catholic Worker House, and an anti-war activist who visited Iraq in 2002. "

It hurts! It hurts!

"Why should I vote? I hate both candidates."

GAHHH!!! There's going to be more than two candidates people! I can't understand these morons who claim they're not voting because neither candidate will be worth it and voting for a third party is basically giving a vote to Bush or simply throwing their vote away.

WRONG!!!

Not voting is the only way a vote is thrown away. The only vote for Bush will be votes for Bush (or those that the evil soulless vastards behind the "zero paper trail" electronic ballot machines will skew to Bush). If the choice is between not voting or voting independant then how the hell is voting independant going to be a vote for Bush? PLEASE someone explain this reasoning?
