At the beginning of the video, an airplane’s-eye-view literally crashes into the literal WTC and literally breaks glass! Also note the creepy camera angles; sped-up images of stairs, elevators and windows; patriotic-sounding hooks; and use of the words “hero” and “soldier” in the lyrics. This music video is really creepy!

As with Hurricane Irene last summer, here we had a nasty snowstorm and over a day of not only frequent flickering power outages, but this strange permanent brownout causing only lamp bulbs and alarm clocks to work. I took out the Kill-A-Watt to measure the voltage, which read ~95V (rather than the ~120V it’s supposed [...]

this post is to honor those who died in the 9/11 attacks also to honor the ones who survived to anyone with a strong connection to “the city” to the victims of the subsequent wars, whether the war be the result of a conspiracy or foreknowledge or just plain exploitation to people around the world [...]

From Acts 17 Apologetics via YouTube: Of Mosques and Men See also: Act! for America’s Stop the Mosque petition to Michael Bloomberg and New York officials. 99,622 have signed so far.

Bush’s Razorblade Suitcase is always criticized and shit on. Their first album, Sixteen Stone, which contains all their classic rock radio hits, was criticized for being a set-up corporate ripoff of then-deceased Nirvana.
