Wasted, or, "My Fucking Arm!"

People who know will know why, but suffice it to say I am wasted, and that will color my shit tonight.

The Simpsons was a classic throwaway that strangely enough featured Captain McAllister (proof that the show is in it's 16th season). Homer the Drunk gets the Pilgrims to America so "fundamentalist Christians can take over the country by the 21st Century," Bart mutinies against Skinner in a brilliant Mutiny on the Bounty bit that's immortalized Weezer forever and got me off my seat to dance, and the Poseiden Adventure just might have ruined that new remake for me with all the 70's disaster movie cliches and Homer J. in a fro.

The Sopranos was an otherworldly experience. America's decadence displayed. Cold hearted violence. Ben Kingsley running afoul of the Sopranosverse and reduced to saying "FUCK!" Christopher going off the wagon and punching Lauren Bacall in the face. Artie Bucco's moral universe destroyed and rebuilt by his art. The cold reality that the American century is over.

I really like the surround sound "God Only Knows" that kicks off Big Love. That album really needs to be remastered by Brian on DVD right away.

The Buffalo News really cornholed the proud radio station that the WNY Progess Report is honored to be on by misstating the stations goddamned frequency in the third paragraph. Yes, it's even fucked up online. Minga. It's 1270 jackasses! 1270! Now was that intentional or are they just incompetent.

And... Al Franken live in Buffalo, broadcast to the world, from Buffalo, tomorrow afternoon. A full eyewitness report will follow.
