So we are back in the Nuclear Power biz. Any new ideas about waste disposal? Yucca Mountain? That ain’t happening . . . Obama, you are - more and more evidently - a dumbass. Not necessarily evil, but a total tool. You rich politician fucks are all alike. Enjoy your high quality dentistry, tool. I guess we’ll worry about the nuclear waste.

Thanks to the miracle of modern technology, with the aid of magical elves and giant robotic monsters, here are some videos from a show we played at Double D’s Queen City Grille on Friday January 29th 2010.
I like to play all the videos at once - you can hear the whole show in less than 7 minutes!
(If you are only checking out one song, might I recommend #16 - It’s our newest, we are excited about it, and it smokes!)
I’m not sure why, but the gain seems pretty loud on these files - so be ready to adjust your volume. Just sayin’ . . .

Oh great - the Federal Court just ruled that unfettered spending by corporations as applied to political campaigns is protected as free speech. So my multi-billion dollar smear campaign is now on equal footing with those of R. J. Reynolds, or Lockheed, or Blackwater. The nation is now much safer from the influence of special interest groups, and we are that much closer to having representative government.
NOT.
Last week was the occasion of two firsts. It was the first time that a president of the United States was denied the opportunity to address schoolchildren because the parents feared “brainwashing”, and it was the first time that a US president was heckled with town hall fascistic style shouting while addressing Congress. And these firsts were leveled at the first black US president.
White nationalist freaks unite.
Fuckheads.
To America’s wingnuts, Obama’s election is like another Sept 11.

Men with guns swell protest crowds outside Obama meetings
Incidents in Arizona and New Hampshire signal ‘disturbing trend’
About a dozen people openly carrying guns mingled with protesters outside the convention centre in Phoenix, Arizona yesterday, where President Barack Obama was addressing a crowd on his plans to reform US healthcare.
One of the men carried an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle slung over his shoulder. Phoenix police said no crimes were committed and no one was arrested as Arizona is an “open-carry” state, meaning that anyone legally allowed to have a gun can carry it in public as long as it is visible. Only someone carrying a concealed weapon is required to have a permit.
The man with the rifle declined to be identified, but told the Arizona Republic newspaper that he was carrying the weapon because he could. “In Arizona, I still have some freedoms,” he said.
It was the latest incident in which protesters openly displayed guns near the president. Last week, when Obama appeared in New Hampshire to talk about healthcare, a man carrying a sign that read “It is time to water the tree of liberty” – alluding to Thomas Jefferson’s speech, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants” – stood outside the meeting with a pistol strapped to his leg.
Some experts have expressed alarm that people carrying guns are allowed anywhere near the president. Fred Solop, a Northern Arizona university political scientist, said the incidents in New Hampshire and Arizona could signal the beginning of a disturbing trend.
“When you start to bring guns to political rallies, it does layer on another level of concern and significance,” he told the Associated Press. “It actually becomes quite scary for many people. It creates a chilling effect in the ability of our society to carry on honest communication.”
Paul Helmke, the president of a gun control group, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said the presence of armed protesters near the president was a recipe for trouble.
“To me, this is craziness,” he said. “When you bring a loaded gun, particularly a loaded assault rifle, to any political event, but particularly to one where the president is appearing, you’re just making the situation dangerous for everyone.”
But the secret service played down the security risks, saying that armed demonstrators in open-carry states such as Arizona and New Hampshire have little impact.
“In both cases, the subject was not entering our site or otherwise attempting to,” said Ed Donovan, a secret service spokesman. “They were in a designated public viewing area. The main thing to know is that they would not have been allowed inside with a weapon.”
The debate over healthcare reform has taken an ugly turn as conservative talkshow hosts inflame the radical right. Last week, a man outside a raucous town hall meeting on healthcare in Hagerstown, Maryland, held a placard reading: “Death to Obama, Michelle and 2 stupid kids.”
Armed religious fanatics. Domestic terrorism. Violent Racism. Reacting to the terrifying prospect of *gasp* universal health care. My neighbors.
I live sooo close to Canada - too bad they’d never have me because of where I come from (America).
