WHY CAN'T SHE JUST GO?


Hillary won Indiana last night thanks to radio talk show leach Rush Limbaugh. To those of you not familiar with Rush, he is a neo-con talk show host who preaches to gun holding, racist, right-wing, christian fundamentalists and republicans who need a lift when they begin to doubt themselves (in short the largest listenership in the country). He started 'Operation Chaos' earlier in the year, asking republicans to cross party lines and vote for Hillary because he believes Hillary will be the easier candidate to beat. The margin of victory was so slim that it proved his tactic worked.

I can not understand why she won't let it go. She is behind in both delegates and the popular vote and has won half the number of states Obama has won. At this stage she appears beyond desperate, is damaging her party, letting McCain get ahead in campaigning for president and proving that she has only ever wanted to be president not for the greater good of the country, but for herself. Her comments last week about obliterating Iran has given me final reason to not vote for her if she gets the nomination. I certainly won't vote for McCain but Hillary doesn't bring any tangible change to the current foreign policy failure.

The Elks - First show

Okay, first of all - we are not entirely sold on the name but we'll live with it for now until something better comes along.

We called ourselves Over the Hill for our first show and then changed it to 40 Still Horny half way through. It was Scott's (bass player) 40th birthday party in the Elks club. We played four songs, "Collide", "Next Time Around", "The Look" and "Miles Away". (And no Darren, those weren't Peach songs, just the titles). It was a really enjoyable affair to tell the truth. We gelled together really well and had a lot of fun, for those short 15 - 20 minutes. Kevin's a really established guitarist who is into Gibson guitars and Marshall amps. Scott's got his Ampeg bass rig and 70's Fender Precision. Todd the youngun's only played in one band before but he's solid, reliable and inventive for variation in parts. I'm glad to say we make a really good team - which isn't easy to find starting from scratch I can tell you.

We've got out first proper show coming up on May 20th. A support slot in one of my favourite venues The Sunset Tavern - in Ballard, my neighborhood. We're going to play a good half hour to forty minutes. Sure, it'll be mostly to our friends but it gets a foot in the door at the Sunset Tavern, and will help us get more gigs when the songs get on the radio. At least that's the plan anyway!

This is a t.v. show in Grand Theft Auto IV. In the game, you can take a break from stealing cars and watch t.v. in the lead characters apartment. I've only watched this one and it's hilarious!
