If Foghat, Nickelback and .38 Special had a baby, it would immediately unsheath its retracting fangs, kill all the nurses, bury a sac of eggs in the doctor's chest, and leap through the window, landing on the roof of a speeding milk truck. It would then pound its chest, pop on some Wayfarers, tie a bandanna around its thigh, and loosen a howl of such rocking blood-thirst that every animal within a ten mile radius fell permanently silent.
Hey, check out Fade to Blue getting a bunch of love in this UNSUNG YA blog movement. Essentially, a bunch of people are linking lists of their favorite books that haven't gotten the Twilight treatment and deserve more readers. It's like being on a "Best Unsigned Band" list. Or maybe it's more like "One-Hit Wonders That Deserve a Second Hit." Is that second hit represented by Your Purchasing Dollars, my friends? Am I the musical equivalent of C+C Music Factory? No. It's the simple knowledge that a few of my sentences are being read instead of pulped in a New Jersey recycling plant that puts me to sleep at night. Or, wait, is it the sodium pentathol? Either way, thanks bloggers!
RE: Rep. Jim Bunning (R, Ky): It should be a widely accepted maxim that Ideological intransigence always comes to the soiree wearing a hair-skirt called Principles. Not to mention the thong of Moral Purity. But, we must ask ourselves, where was the brave Bunny during seven years of unfunded Iraq? Where was the man at the podium during two rounds of deficit-bloating tax cuts? And why won't he go back there? Ah, he's not running for re-election. The perfect time to display such a heavy dangling set of true convictions.
Time for Glenn Close to get her hands on this Bunny and get all Fatal Attraction on him. C'mon, Senator, hop in the stew pot!
