But you all know where that shiz happened riiight? Philly! Hello Fresno, I miss you! Just chillin (I so don't condone illegal downloading) on the Delaware just blocks away from the birthplace of our nation. See you at 'Stones xmas night, yeah?

FF & Famous Whitewater por vida.

Not saying he's a bad guy for the job... but it'll never happen.

Due to a bit of insomnia (and a back that did not enjoy building a massive home-gym in an 8 hour thrash,,,) I watched a movie tonight that y'all need to seriously see.

'Bob Roberts.'

(It's a Tim Robbins film, --but it's loaded with tons of great actors, -including a rather young, svelte, and possibly posessed Jack Black.)

Why?

Well, I like to look at stuff from a variety of sides.

And, not to pick on the Ron Paul devotees out there, but I kinda saw some parallels to some of the spin that is going on (currently,)
---and was really blown away with how the film, (which is over 15 years old,) -could have been done yesterday.

It's funny, it's dark, it's just a little over the top, and has bad folk-music (but a whole lot of early Dylan Satire.)

(...the whole time I'm sitting there trying not to think:
-Okay,
L. Ron Hubbard writes a Science Fiction story about a guy who creates his own religion...
-Then
L. Ron Hubbard goes and creates his own religion, and it's a hit..!)

---You just wonder sometimes how much what is done politically and socially is 'fictional,'
-how much is 'satire,'
-and what is simply testing the waters for what you want to do not too far down the road,

-you know, having already floated the idea out in the form of 'fiction.'

(Again, I'm not poking fun at any one pol.
-just finding it interesting how so much of the lingo and method
-is so appropriate to these here modern times....

(golly.)
