“The Haunting” was one of the best music videos I think I’ve ever seen. It was musically magnificent, unlike most gothic metal, which is nothing but overdone stereotype soup.

Ever heard of the Cruxshadows, Ilana?

iPods are good, but overpriced. You could just buy an mp3 player half the price of an iPod Nano that does everything Apple’s machine does. The Creative Zen, for example. I’m frankly concerned about the type of personality that would buy their technology, clothes, or anything else on hipness/brand recognition alone, especially if they’re voting.

I suspect that Michelle Obama knew perfectly well that hugging the British Monarch is a huge faux pas…I smell publicity stunt. She’s trying to tell “the World” that the English customs pertaining to such things don’t even matter, where all social customs and are eroded, replaced by vapid bromides to political correctness, modernity, and progress.

For his meeting with the French leader, I noticed the commentary on their choice of fashion. Both wives seemed well-dressed, decently traditional yet modern (CNN missed no opportunity to somehow report this in a feminist bias). Obama was dressed well as usual, but I think he actually has people that inform him on what’s the best sartorial option, and it isn’t exactly his own taste coming through. Sarkozy: Eurotrash.

If this thread is the most shameful display of bigotry you’ve ever seen, then you are 1) extremely sheltered, and 2) completely unaware of what actual bigotry is. Why people should “lay off” the Obamas while they persist in doing stupid and embarrassing things is something you’ll need to expand on.

>But make that “March of Mephisto” and “The Haunting.”

Oh, let’s just go ahead and put everything they’ve ever done on it, live and studio!

I’m glad Kamelot filmed a show with Simone. That was kind of the icing on a grand and glorious cake. [Not sure why SS isn’t a permanent feature of the band; maybe the wife of the guitarist, who does backing vocals, is jealous… SS is a major talent, and so fresh, unlike the many hos we have to stomach here. The lovely thing about Kamelot is their romantic, clean depiction of women.]

Wait…what was this thread about? Oh, yeah. BO and the Ferengi.

>shameful display of bigotry

Okay, I’ll admit it. I am heavily biased against empty-suit collectivist thugs who don’t have an ounce of class, refinement, dignity, common sense, or integrity.

Gangsta gifts was a great title for the article. Obamas actions are so repulsive that it has a numbing effect on normal people. That is what happens to people when they are subjected to ridiculous phony actions over and over.Martin Berrow

The Brits were probably the only ones taken aback at the Hussein’s inappropriate and shallow gift dumped on their Queen. (shrug) Coulda been worse. Speaking of worse: you have no doubt seen the vainglorious one’s inept TIMES NOW: PM is a wonderful man youtube video! making the rounds. Well, I stumbled across a 37-minute video press conference on an Obama groupie site that is absolutely hilarious. It’s got it all; the stammering, the uhhhs, the aimless wanderings and self-referential crap…priceless. Go for the marginal one’s video, stay for the shameful displays of bigotry brought to you by jack&jillpolitics.com. Happy weekend.

Wow, I have never seen such a shameful display of bigotry. Lay off the Obama’s, please.

The behavior of Barry and the Ferengi woman (seriously, she looks exactly like a Ferengi!) is getting so ridiculous that I have a hard time believing that it's not some strange parody. I'm astonished at how sheltered and ignorant they seem. Now, if they had given the queen an iPod with the Symphony X collection and Kamelot's "One Cold Winter's Night" live DVD on it, however, I would have been impressed. :) [DITTO! But make that "March of Mephisto" and "The Haunting." The live version as good as the studio recording. Simone Simons sheer class, talent, and beauty. Sorry; I got carried away.]

Dear I,
Amazingly enough, I also gave Queen Elizabeth an iPod, only instead of show music and Beyonce crotch videos I gave her some Swingle Singer interpretations of the indestructible J.S.Bach and “Before” (Bar Mitzva) and “After” (LSD) photos of yours truly.
Solipsistically yours,

I-too

I cannot imagine what the hand holding deal was other than he likes pink.You will not find me defending the Bush’s. The only difference is Bush would use the Military industrialist and the Mexicans to gain power and Obama will use the Greeners and the Blacks. Either way we “white bigots” who want to live free in the country that we built are going to have to make the statement that “freedom is not free” a living statement. I despise Bush as I loathe Obama.
