Yup, Cletus, you’re back in the army now. First the donkeys get recalled, then it’s only a matter of time before they start drafting asses. Still planning on voting Bush and Dick?

A puppy-themed story to make you go “aaaaw”, then something to put that into context and make you go “ooooh”.
What if Charles Bukowski had written children’s books? McSweeney came up with some likely titles.
The New York Times have compiled a list of the thousand best movies ever made, all of which they have (absolutely and undoubtedly by coincidence) reviewed in the past. If you’re really, really bored (and only slightly sad) you could wade through them, read all the reviews, and tell the world how much you disgree with the reviews. As a case in point, Amarcord is one of the most incredible films ever made, and I thought The African Queen sucked. Go figure.
So it turns out that Bruce Springsteen, a longtime favourite artist of mine, is an outspoken critic of George Bush and his administration. I remember the delight of driving along the back roads of the Sierra Nevada foothills while on holiday in California, firmly behind the wheel of a rented Oldsmobile, with Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” blasting from the car stereo. But, of course, I wasn’t born in the USA, and I don’t even live in the USA. So what absolute pleasure when a song that means so much to me turns out to have been performed by an artist saying so many sensible things.
If you’re a Springsteen fan, and/or would like to see some change on the political landscape, please consider signing the petition to draft Bruce.
