Just doing my irresponsible, lazy job. Credit goes to a certain Guy Simmons as well. Oh, and Vincent, I'll do the cover picture with you, but only if I get to wear corpse paint. Thanks, Michaele.

I'm glad to see chemically-enhanced journalism is still being practiced. It seems that more than the OC's reporters were blacked out -hardly a rippling glimmer of the convention in the press. (My suspcion is that unenhanced attendance was nothing to write about.) Your article is a great help to those of us unable, unwilling or too old to spend a day with 35mph socialists. Stay with that fear and loathing road. One tip, though -when you find yourself drinking Scope at 3am, it's time to find a rest stop.

You guys are in bed with Frohnmayer and Knight. It's all coming together now. The dots are connecting at an exponential rate - Moss Street, Frohnmayer, Knight, Oregon Commentator, the State Board of Higher Education, Bellotti, China, nanotechnology, eminent domain, police state, underground civilization of gnomes, the lost continent of Atlantis, spy satellites, new world order!

A proper administrator would've turned off "emoticons" long ago. So maybe YOU'RE permabanned. As an alternate punishment, I will invite you to join me in re-creating the cover of that T. Rex album. I get to be Marc Bolan, of course. You can be Mickey Finn. CJ: I blame Wordpress. A proper administrator would’ve turned off “emoticons” long ago. So maybe YOU’RE permabanned.

It's album artwork is also what one could characterize as "pretty cool", whereas the "T. Rex" album art is what one may say looks "stupid and absurd". In any case, the hierarchy of T. Rex albums (leaving out the older Tyrannosaurus Rex material) is as follows: 1) Dandy in the Underworld 2) Electric Warrior 3) The Slider 4) Tanx 5) Futuristic Dragon 6) T. Rex 7) Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow 8) Bolan's Zip Gun. That said, all of them except "Zinc Alloy" and "Bolan's Zip Gun" are pretty essential. And really, a more accurate list would put "Electric Warrior" and "The Slider" on the same level. The same could be said of "Tanx" and "Futuristic Dragon."
