Is that the album title? I can't read it.
So it's agreed, Sufjan Stevens has to die? We've got to save the gullible Dr. Medulla from himself.

A fatwa it is.

Hey, greaseball, I came in for a radiator flush, not to hear a guy in a
Nickelback shirt tell me what's good music.
False premise. Even
Heston would know I wouldn't be listening to Canadian music, and would plan his Iron Maiden insult accordingly.

If you're listening to Maiden, I see no reason to assume you have any discerning ability.

Why? They're better musicians and songwriters than Sufjan Stevens.

Are Iron Maiden musicians? I thought they were Egyptologists with a fetish for silly schoolboy art.

They don't have to be
good, they just have to be better than Sufjan Stevens.

It's actually "Shadoe Stevens". And I hate myself for knowing that.

I was really hoping someone else would step up for that correction.

You know, I thought it was spelled that way too, but then I thought to myself, "nahhhh, that would just be weird."

Who will win in court? I bet he prevails on the speech issues - if there are any- but goes down on the charge of "grown man still carrying picture of Lenin." (Assuming that Obama gets the next two Supreme Court appointments). If he was simply helping people commit crimes and avoid arrest - he loses.
From wikipedia:
Following the assassination attempt on Lenin and the successful assassination of Petrograd chief of secret police Moisei Uritsky, Stalin, in a telegram to Lenin, argued that a policy of “open and systematic mass terror” be instigated against “those responsible”. Lenin and the other Bolsheviks agreed, and instructed Felix Dzerzhinsky, whom Lenin had appointed to head the Cheka in 1917, to commence a “Red Terror”, which was officially announced to the public on September 1, 1918, by the Bolshevik newspaper, Krasnaya Gazeta (“Krasnaya Gazette”).
But I think considering how police behave during street violence is a bit of a straw man, (they will always suppress speech), when my concern is whether an author who quietly publishes a book ought to be killed by religious fanatics like Cat Stevens, who by the way, seemed content to let others actually commit the murder.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/10/24/anar ... index.html
The details are finally out, and yes, the Lenin photo was taken out of context as I predicted:
A needlepoint depiction of Lenin that belonged to Madison's wife's grandmother. (Not surprisingly, the police don't seem to grasp the irony of an anarchist owning a Lenin bust in any form, given the hatred between the two ideologies since the Spanish Civil War, when the Communists turned on the anarchists and murdered their ostensible allies.)
Read the whole article.

Needlepoint? I needed that.
“Were it not for the presence of the unwashed and the half-educated, the formless, queer and incomplete, the unreasonable and absurd, the infinite shapes of the delightful human tadpole, the horizon would not wear so wide a grin.”

Not the needlepoint, but that it's his wife's grandmother's thing.

I like to needlepoint. If anyone wants me to make them a belt, let me know.
