Hawaii 5-0

I wore a t-shirt with a dancing skeleton on it and my lucky bracelet with little silver bone charms on it when I ran our caucus sight and people were good with that…after all, they had more important things to think about.

Look at this hip cat. It’s Barack ‘Barry’ Obama. His yearbook photo was always gonna be the best lookin’. I mean, can you imagine Hillary Clinton‘s thanking “the Choom Gang”? I bet the Chooms were a local group who specialised in acid fonnnk! Or they sounded like Billy Ocean. Either way, Baz had an afro, and afros look cool.

Now, to further his cool (imagined or otherwise), The Grateful Dead are saying that Barack Obama embodies political hope which has been absent in the US since Robert Kennedyhad his head popped back and to the left.

The Dead like Barry Obama so much that they got back together on Monday to play a gig and get the back of the presidential candidate.Read over for some serious stuff… glib asides… and a brand new conspiracy theory…

“Every few generations a guy like this comes along,” Dead drummer Mickey Hart told a news conference. “It seems like desperate times and we’re desperate people.”

Indeed.

It can’t be easy livin’ in a country with a chimp and a big red button at the helm. Even though I know virtually nothing about American politics, it does seem that the damage done by Bush almost certainly ensures a Democrat win.

Even though that’s not amazingly interesting, it does point toward a first. America may be on the verge of gettin’ their first woman prez, or their first black prez. Interesting times.

So, the fact that the Grateful Dead have hopped on board in no surprise at all.

Bob Weir of the band (not The Band… don’t get ’em confused) said; “The last time hope was in the air, it was ended by a bullet (referring to JFK).”

Bassist Phil Lesh said he met Obama, who told him he has some Grateful Dead songs on his MP3 player. Bet he owns American Beauty and likes Box Of Rain best.Anyway, as tenuous as the link to music is, I still thought I’d tell yer about all this.

Oh. And the conspiracy theory… ( deleted by amm at I.B go ahead and put in your own)

Walking Distance

People

have told me how much better things would be for us all if we

went back

and

reclaimed a time when things were better.

This scene from ” The Twilight Zone ” describes

what we should probably take into consideration

before we do that.

Walking Distance

written by Rod Serling

Robert Sloan: Martin.

Martin Sloan: Yes, Pop.

Robert Sloan: You have to leave here. There’s no room, there’s no place. Do you understand that?

Martin Sloan: I see that now, but I don’t understand. Why not?

Robert Sloan: I guess because we only get one chance. Maybe there’s only one summer to every customer… That little boy, the one I know – the one who belongs here – this is his summer, just as it was yours once. Don’t make him share it.

Martin Sloan: Alright.

Robert Sloan: Martin, is it so bad where you’re from?

Martin Sloan: I thought so, Pop. I’ve been living on a dead run and I was tired. And one day I knew I had to come back here. I had to get on the merry-go-round and listen to a band concert. I had to stop and breathe, and close my eyes and smell, and listen.

Robert Sloan: I guess we all want that. Maybe when you go back, Martin, you’ll find that there are merry-go-rounds and band concerts where you are. Maybe you haven’t been looking in the right place. You’ve been looking behind you, Martin. Try looking ahead.
