These days – with your lame pop tarts, AutoTune, overdubbing and such – most o’ you kids aren’t familiar with what raw, unprocessed voice talent sounds like. A reminder herein. Crappy video, but you’ll get the drift.

I love stuff like this.
How, how did I miss this? It’s awesome.
The penny debate should not be what the new ones look like – the debate should be whether we need them at all.
Oh Jesus f*cking Christ, when will the madness end? Now we’ve got John Walters, the Bush Administration’s national War On Some Drugs chief, claiming that pot growers,

My pal Ralph Hallow is reporting tomorrow that McCain has only raised $3.7M for the third quarter and that a campaign insider says the campaign is “done for.”
“The hope was to reach $4.5 million, about a third of what was raised in the ‘disastrous’ second quarter,” said the insider… “Those are gross numbers, not net. Plus the campaign is carrying $2.5 to $3 million in debt. [He's] done for.”
As I told Ralph, I will not be mourning. McCain is a shell of who he was in ’00 – I actually supported him then. But wow, did that guy come off the tracks. Ciao, Senator.
