Chinese Democracy or Cash In Now!?

Well it's been 15 years in the making and this past Sunday Axl and Best Buy ? released the Chinese Democracy album to the General Public, of course over the years various incarnations of this project have crept out including back in 2007 for a very short time on commercial radio before being yanked from being released, although yours truly has been playing various tracks from this album from almost inception of Radio Clandestino hitting the airwaves. So the question is WHY NOW? is it YOU are getting hard up for money? and feel the time to cash in is NOW before the entire economy hits the shit fan? is this your attempt to "stimulate the economy" and bring hope to the millions upon millions of fans worldwide? is this due to the election of Barak Obama? (But for your info, if THIS WAS the case Axl you should have picked another source for a Sunday release, because as the record shows Bestbuy WAS one of the TOP financial supporters of the GOP convention this past Summer, NOT a group or business one would associate with Democracy most would argue)or was it the fact that TOO many copies were being leaked to the masses and it was either release now while you still have some control? as for the "official release" I am very glad it was better late than never and now the millions of fans can personally posses and listen to what just a few of us had the sweet pleasures of enduring. As for real Chinese Democracy? well it looks the only way the Chinese Fans will get a taste is from the bootlegs on the streets(As if THEY weren't already out there) Well I guess I lost the bet, what would come first, release of this album, Serious Solutions to Global Warming or Real Chinese Democracy, Yeah once again Axl you come out on top.

Secretary Of State or Secretary of Mistake?

Well I think President Elect Obama has made his first and major mistake and HE isn't EVEN in office yet, what do i mean? well asking Senator Clinton to be Secretary Of State, I know I know he had to at least offer her a top notch postition but this!? I already see trouble clouds on the Horizion. First of all she and her husband bring all their baggage and skeletons with them, you know like Billy Boyz palz from"Plan Colombia" and NAFTA and what about her loyalty to Isreal and the Jews? how does President Obama think he can have real dialogue with Iran,Syria, and the Palestinians when his Secretary of State already has a bias , I see a showdown and rogue Secretary of State running amok in the near future. and at a time like this the LAST thing America needs is a war with Iran, Venesuela, North Korea or another Cold War with Russia because THIS time THEY will WIN, after all they have wealth from Oil and Natural Gas so THEY can fiancially beat us this time unlike last time when Ronald Dickhead Reagan got lucky and beat them first. Yes My President I do believe this was a major blunder and I am offended that Senator Russ Feingold and Congressman Dennis Kucinich have NOT been accepted into the "Inner Circle" that it has mostly been "Clintonians" and this is a major dissappointment to me I know you have great ideas and plans but America needs some fresh "blood" if you will and as for Foreign Diplomicy my first move would be to send a delegation comprised of Native Americans down to Venesuela to open dialogue and as a potential trade delegation, after all what better diplomatic team? Natives from the North meeting with the South, the cultural connection, heritage connection,historical connestion and struggle? it would be political sucicide NOT to. The time for mending ties and friendship is NOW after all Iran, Venesuela, and North Korea were all once friends and this IS the time of need to have friends like them, after all it was a Republican President(Dwight D Eisenhower) who once said, " If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends, You talk to your Enemies." So Mr. President do you think your choice CAN do THIS? I have my serious doubts, as for you, I I see YOU as a man who can... I only hope you can control the"Genie".

Democracy Lives

The past few days were a bit hectic and tiring as the Splinkster was working the phone lines and knocking on doors urging folks to get out and vote for perhaps one of the most if not the most important elections in US History and on November 4th 2008 History was made.For the first time in my life it felt great to support a Presidential Candidate from a major party and even better to personally get involved with the election, sure you got phones slammed down in your ear, people cursing and name calling, a few people throwing your flyer's back at you and slamming their doors, but when you see an elderly white woman saying she is definitely going to vote for Obama it brings a feeling of Democracy still lives, to think that this woman lived during a time when African Americans could NOT even vote, and to listen to her complaints about the cost of health care, and everything going up in price, and how her words carry thru the late afternoon air..." He Has To Win".... as I sat checking the results Tuesday night on 4 different web sites and gritting my teeth with the tight U.S. Senate race, I wondered, what if I would have spent another two hours on the phone lines? or more time knocking on doors would we be in this recount? would Al have won the race and it be over? ................as the votes get closer I hope there is a turn around and Al comes out on top and sends Norm back home packing his bags and NO I don't mean Minnesota I mean pack your bags and go back to New York Norm....and I will even be a nice guy and help you pack and load the truck................Minnesota deserves better, America deserves better and all YOU have done was for your own personal benefit and the Cheney/Bush/ corporate elites at the expense of " We The People" May Al take this Election................as for being laughed at for supporting Obama instead of Clinton, Edwards and so on way back at the start of it all,...all I can say is........ Damn It Feels Good!
