	<description>Broadcasting live from the scenic pioneer valley in beautiful Massachusetts. Sending the music and vibes thru the dirtbag recovery network. This is “The Dirt” as walked on and ingested by yours truly John Morello. Its free form. Its live. Its new. Its old. It surrounds us like the force. It binds us like an evil cheese. Its music. Its words. So lets go.</description>

		<description>I never thought heartless, just brainless. I always wondered if you were mad with the American Pie movies for stealing your life story and replacing the cheese with pie? Of course American Cheese may not have sold well at the box office, but we'll never know will we?

And that's the Velveeta incident I'm talking about.

As for being well it depends on the day.</description>

		<description>Which Velveeta incident? There have been so many. All that crap's bad for your heart, of course, but as a heartless conservative, the health risks are sort of irrelevant for me. Anyway, be well, Jablow.</description>

		<description>Never thought I would agree with Bednar especially after that Velveeta incident, but you were not chicken. The rest of what he says is bullshit, but as I had warned him that cheese had to settle somewhere and it seeks out brain matter. Poor boy. 

If you had said something you would only be mad at yourself for getting your buddy in trouble with his associates and making it awkward for him. You see either way you would blame yourself. I however blame you for eating the chili-dog, dammit man you were in Maine, you have to eat lobster rolls in Maine. Serves you right, you're not chicken or a rascist just a culinary-fool!</description>

		<description>I won't vote for Obama either, EZ, simply because I support tax cuts, limited government (although Bush has been a near-failure on that point), constructionist judges, and a certain seriousness when it comes to foreign policy, and I tend to get those things from Republicans more than Democrats. If Obama came over to these values, I'd vote for him in a second, and probably kiss him on the lips.

But because you've made a rather astounding implication that all 60 million Bush voters are racist gay-baiters, I'd like to make an off-topic generalization of my own. It comes in the form of a question, a question that fascinates me. It is this:

Of the following two options -- wildly exaggerated for a purpose, mind you -- which would you prefer? It doesn't matter if you consider one impossible and therefore irrelevant; I'm asking what you, deep in your heart, would honestly prefer: (1) Iraq begins to show signs of improving over the next few months, and by early 2008, insurgents are on the run, the Iraq government is clearly in control of the situation, and our troops have begun leaving en masse, clearly victorious. Within a few years, the influence of democracy spreads throughout the mideast, violence is down, America has gained respect in the world through its actions in the mideast, and -- this is important -- George Bush rides off with a strong and visionary legacy, and helps deliver Republicans back into power. Meanwhile, America enters a decade of peace and economic prosperity. (2) Iraq crumbles further into chaos. Casualties mount, and eventually our troops leave the region in civil war, the effects of which are felt long-term as the middle east becomes more violent and terrorists become more emboldened to strike at American interests, including on American soil. America's reputation is in shambles overseas, and our economy is suffering. But Democrats sweep into power in the White House, strengthen their hold on Congress, and leave Bush to the history books, which portray him for the ages as a failure and disgrace.

I think the actual outcome will be somewhere in between, but what I have observed is a Democratic leadership and grassroots so blinded by their hatred of the president that MANY of them would, if they were forced to answer honestly, choose B over A in a second -- even if A would be better for America and the world -- simply because A would justify Bush, an outcome that would be completely intolerable. I firmly believe this in my heart to be true, and it saddens me.

Maybe we need to get beyond the Bush years for a little perspective; even his staunchest defenders would admit he's becoming irrelevant now. And no one is saying the war has gone well. But until I see something something a little more grown-up from Democrats than pandering to the current mood among the electorate (in this case war-weariness), I'm going to reject anyone from their current culture, including Obama. Because, believe it or not, for most of us who vote Republican, it's not about skin color, unless of course you're some random loudmouth asshole from Maine who, frankly, deserves a sound beating or three.

And you, John, are the least chicken person I know, so get over it. You used an appropriate measure of tact, and I haven't lost any of my respect for your character, even if we disagree on much. Carry on and lose the guilt. Karma will take care of the prick. We know your heart.

By the way, I hope all is well with K and the future Zimmy Kerouac Morello.</description>

		<description>My dear friend, you did not fail.  You were prudent.  There is a time and a place...a balance between knowing when to fight and when to retreat.  Now, had you had no business relationship and met the flannel shirt, workboot wearing, wife beating hick (ooops, am I stereotyping?) in a dark alley, then you could 'enlighten' him.  Your conclusion was correct.  Trying to 'enlighten' him would've been a waist of your great talent.  In Satanism, and as a Satanist, we laugh not so silently at the stupid, get what we want from them, and then bid them a short life and a miserable end.  I witnessed just this week a great re-enforcement of the old adage that what goes around comes around.
     No my friend, you did not fail.  Bossman did.  He is the customer, who has given them Millions (literally) and should have drawed the line and informed tham that if they wanted his continued business, they had better stick their face in their plate and (hopefully) choke on their food.  But we know his heart and Love him anyway.

     Congratulations on meeting one of the 60 million Americans who woke up on Election Day 2004, looked in a mirror, and said, "I think George W. Bush is the right man to lead this nation".  The results always speak for themselves.

Submitted by a fag Satanist who hates roller skates because they're so 70's, but would gladly observe the shirtless man in the rollerblades.

EZ.  Ave Satanas!</description>
