My Eyes Fastened To The Ground

Finally some follow up to our drug-addicted, socialist cheerleader Patches Kennedy. Is anyone really surprised he was hooked on OxyContin? (Video Here) . The complete 9 minute video.

Now the ProJo buried the story but one reporter was brave enough to ask some real questions. WPRO's Colleen Lima (also from the East Bay area) attempted to ferret out of Rep. Kennedy the who, where and how he got enough OxyContin to sustain his addiction. Here's a paraphrase of that conversation (as heard on WPRO's Dan Yorke Show):

Colleen Lima asked, - where were you getting the OxyContin? - and Kennedy replied that, - With respect to the substances, it really doesn't matter what substance it is, the fact remains as an addict you can replace any given substance with any other given substance. It's not material to the disease...There's a prurient interest in the type of drug...and that's part of the stigmatizing of the disease -

Lima tried to put her question in context as to why it was important to know where he was getting it, pointing out that - There have been national investigations into doctor shopping - (ie; Rush Limbaugh--hey, didn't I mention that before?) and - somebody helped you, somebody enabled you - with this. To this line of questioning, Kennedy replied, - I'm not going to go into it.- (www.anchorrising.com)

With that response he ran out the door. It’s going to take a few more macaroni dinners with the old geysers who keep this confused pol in office. Why do democratic leaders continue to drug him and prop him up when he has admitted he cannot function on his own? Oh yea, he raises lots of money. The reality is: he needs help and get out of the public eye because nobody is looking out for his well being.

Vinyl junkies should consider vol. 2 of Mark Arminski’s Detroit Live Series featuring The Hard Lessons, it’s limited to 300 color copies and there are still some copies of vol. 1 with The Dirtbombs.

Athens, GA label Happy Happy Birthday To Me has announced a vinyl singles club that will feature Of Montreal, Apples In Stereo, etc. Limited to 450 subscriptions total, only 150 spots remain. Recommended.

The Great Pop Supplement has been slowly coming back to life, you are advised to get on his mailing list.

Let’s get something done about crimaliens and put some pressure on the double-speak politicians who are catering to people who CAN’T vote. Check out US Citizens Rights for facts about how much our country is being shortchanged by invaders.

Only the misinformed residents of RI could elect (for life) a typical, fall-in-line, lying, drug addicted Kennedy (are there any other kind?) to represent this socialized, sanctuary state. Listen to the spin of being a elected official who feels his job is to protect criminals and drug abusers. Only NBC and Patches could bring their lies directly to your home. Video to follow, here’s the ProJo version of his admitting to his many drug addictions including oxycontin.

Patrick Chavez tries to make us belief he is a 'victim' by creating his own, new disease called 'sleep driving'. But his real problem is trying to live with lieabetes. He can't possibly keep his story straight if everything he says is a half-truth or straight out lie. Hillbilly Heroin strikes again and makes me wonder: Is every socialist, left-wing liberal, a terrorist addicted to mental medication or just the one’s I know?

It still makes me burn that the only Senator who did his own research before the Iraq War vote (and later proven to be correct while voting against party lines) was voted out of office because of a letter after his name.

Now listen to the greasy, lying NY senator Schmuk Humor back peddle when confronted with facts about the Water Reed scandal and his vote for the Iraq War.

Of Montreal is a hybrid of rock-pop and show like no other and, happy to say, still 'my' band. They’re just a little more popular with the kiddies. The sold out 1500 seat Avalon, behind the Green Monster, was a good place for the show, they sounded fantastic and the new songs rocked the house. We were very happy to grab a good side view and dance the night away.

The only thing that sucked was (because it was an all-ages early show) they kicked everyone out after the show for 'gay-night', so I wasn't able to get to Kevin and company. I was ready to pay another $20 and go back in, but the bouncer talked me out of it and we went home. In passing, I said 'hi' to Dottie Alexander and caught the late BP Helium in the lobby to sign two items.

Another surprise was meeting David Barnes , Kevin’s brother, at the merch stand. He was part of the performance portion of the show and I mentioned how cool it must be to be touring with a rock band around the country with the added bonus of sharing the experience with family. His smile said it all. I then shared a story about how close your enemies can be.

The merchandise table was common but I grabbed two record bags (yellow bag or green record bag) and a very creative pink t-shirt , designed by gemini tactics, for my daughter to be the coolest kid in kindergarten.

Lost Fan? Here is a very informed site with comparative photos from the show. No Spoilers.!! But for people who watch (and don’t have TiVO), this is the next best thing to seeing what you missed.

Here are some fabulous photos from last weekends Of Montreal show. Very much looking forward to seeing and chatting with the band this weekend.

If just found an incredible store with a few very rare 7 inch singles and merch. However, I will not post the link knowing that a member of the Jihad is visiting this page and trying to leave comments. My friends know how to contact me and I recommend sending an e-mail if you want more information. Don’t wait, everything is limited.

More quality, limited releases by Cass Records including a Human Eye 7 and Cyril Lords LP. You can check out some songs at http://www.myspace.com/cassrecords .

Another unique idea from Top Quality Rock & Roll out of Detroit.

What the heck is this?

A fitting tribute to Kayleigh Raposa.

Here is a recently released unedited video of The Station Nightclub fire from 2003. This video is very graphic and it simply breaks your heart knowing what is about to happen. Graphic Station Video. Thanks to our pathetic Attorney General, Patrick Lynch, the state settled without going to trial and all the state appointed inspectors were protected.

More heartbreaking news with the passing of a friend’s (and ex-teammate) oldest daughter, Kayleigh Raposa. http://www.eastbayri.com/bristol/bristol.php

As the myth of Global Cooling, oh I mean Warming, turns into a high-pitched squeel a high ranking official in Canada seems to have a good idea for the wackos to embrace.

I’m positive your news source hasn’t talked about this about this ACLU criminal.

Here’s another good liberal doing what they do best.

I bet all the people who voted for this appropriation of money are pretty happy that public funds for stem cell research is being spent on salaries, perks and high priced meetings with fine cuisine. It's no surprise on this end considering there is no chance of actually coming up with a cure, just hope. http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/business/16800771.htm

Another article that will make your head spin as teachers are not only embracing socialism, but making it part of a child's early learning.

Why would an insane, socalist who happens to be a Congressman get involved with a local Mayoral race? And then come to his defense when the guy is caught red-handed breaking the law with public employees and illegally bringing his grandson to a public school where he shouldn’t be enrolled. Of course, Hugo Kennedy said -just because he broke the law, doesn’t make him a criminal. Some laws are just meant to be broken. Look what I've gotten away with in only 37 years. My best is yet to come.-

Thankfully, the Mollis Political machine went down in one of the biggest election upsets in RI history. Let the big money audit begin. I pray this is a sign that voters are sick of the same people lying time and time again to benefit themselves and their cronies. But my hope is tempered every time I hear another c-level soprano wanna-be actually speak.
