I am a patient boy,
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait. My time, is water down a drain.

Ok, so it must seem like we have some sort of man-crush on Ian MacKaye. Perhaps we do. But that didn't stop us from laughing when the Washington City Paper compared punk rocker Ian MacKaye to porn auteur Eon McKai. (With NSFW text.)

Ghouls
When I first heard about this, I thought it had to be a joke. Right? Let's remember 9/11 with an "America Supports You Freedom Walk" and Clint Black concert? WTF?

The Freedom Walk will begin at 10 a.m. Sept. 11 in the Pentagon South parking lot, near the site where the airliner crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11. The walk route will consist of a two-mile trek through Arlington National Cemetery, over the Potomac River, and will end by the reflecting pool on the National Mall, where a free concert featuring country music star Clint Black will take place.

Nope, that seems to be the case. Tasteful. Instead of Arlington Cemetery, why don't you walk past Walter Reed hospital and take a peek at all those wounded soldiers who you're busy behind the scenes trying to cut funding for?

Still, you have to admire their restraint. Sure, everything this administration does has to have the word FREEDOM^TM crowbarred in there somewhere, but they could have called it the "America Salutes You Freedom War On Terror Eagle Apple Pie Support Our Troops In God We Trust Walk-a-Thon."

Maybe I should just stop caring, stop wanting my government to act with a little dignity, stop expecting everything orchestrated by this administration to be done solely for political gain. Maybe I should just get into the spirit.

Be sure to stop by Cabal World Headquarters this December for our "America Supports You Pearl Harbor Memorial 5K". We'll use our legs to run past the VA hospital and stare at all the wounded Operation Iraqi Freedom vets who lost their legs because of Bush's lies. Then we'll sooth our conscience by buying "Support Our Troops" ribbon car magnets. Finally, back to World Headquarters to celebrate Pearl Harbor with all you can eat and drink Sushi and Sapporo. Sound good?

Edited [2005-08-08]: No edit, just a note: I was very angry when I wrote this, but I hesitated posting it because that last part went, I think, a little over the line. I've decided to post it unchanged because the feelings are honest.

Seriously though, if you want to do something for the victims of 9/11, quit wasting time with this Iraq cluster-fuck and go get Bin Laden. I can't believe these assholes left the job undone in Afghanistan, wasted every bit of political capital we had, alienated the whole world, killed 1800+ American soldiers, wounded countless others, all in pursuit of this stupid Project For a New American Century neo-con wet dream. What kind of people are these? How do they sleep at night? How do they make it through the day without eating a Glock? If you know the answer, email us at the usual addy, because we sure can't figure it out.
