Hey Dominion Power, Bury Your #@#%ing Power Lines! (with bonus anti-McCain article)

Sorry there was no AM Punk Rock this morning. Apparently, Northern Virginia's infrastructure is analogous to Baghdad's and we lose power every time the wind blows; so, no internet access for me. Won't happen again...unless the wind blows again. Anyway, I just wanted to point out this Matt Taibbi article from Rolling Stone that I really enjoyed. Here's one of the many entertaining (and depressing) passages from it: "McCain's transformation is so complete that at a recent town-hall meeting in Nashville, when asked to name an author who inspired him, the candidate — who once described televangelists of the Jerry Falwell genus as 'agents of intolerance' — put none other than Joel Osteen at the top of his list. "He's inspirational," McCain said. Standing at the meeting, I didn't write Osteen's name down in my notebook — apparently because my brain refused on some level to accept that McCain had actually said it. Of all the vile, fake, lying-ass, money-grubbing shyster scumbags on the face of this planet, there is perhaps none more loathsome than Osteen, a human haircut with plastic baseball-size teeth who has made a fortune selling the appalling only-in-America idea that terrestrial greed is actually a form of Christian devotion. "God wants us to prosper financially, to have plenty of money, to fulfill the destiny He has laid out for us," Osteen once wrote. This is the revolting, snake-oil-selling dickhead that John McCain actually chose to pimp as number one on his list of inspirational authors. So much for "go, sell everything you have and give to the poor," and all that other hippie crap from the New Testament." Read it for a good laugh/cry.
