Protest songs and hunger strikes only work vs. Western democracies

Why should the left have all the good protest songs?

Because wealth redistribution via governmemt is only possible with gun barrels to enforce it.

And the guns end up enforcing a lot more than that.

If Gandhi had tried his nonviolent resistance act in the Soviet Union they would have nipped it, "tout d'suite"...and he'd have been rotting in a gulag until 1990.

It's chic and sexy to be a revolutionary where you get toasted in the press for it.

Leftist regimes past and present have more in common with ther fascist forbears than they do differences. The flags, the nationalism, the military gear on heads of state...

Madden 10 iPhone App: where football dreams come true

My first experience with Madden in any format was the stuff of dreams.

I just piloted my beloved New York Jets to a perfect 19-0 season this past week, capped off by a 51-10 thrashing of the Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl, which was played in a stadium that started off looking like Landshark Stadium and then somehow metamorphosed into the Meadowlands at kickoff.

And what a season it was, with rookie of the year Mark Sanchez throwing 29 TDs to ZERO interceptions and NFL MVP Thomas Jones scoring 32 TDs.

And a typical opposing QB's day was completing 10 of 35 passes.

The closest game was a 38-35 shootout with New England in week 2. The supreme level of absurdity was reached when 91 points were laid on the Oakland Raiders.

This $10 app really looks and sounds great. It might get a little boring after awhile playing against an AI that makes Rich Kotite look like Bill Belichick.

The Truth Is Only Known By Guttersnipes

And they get tossed into jail for telling it.

Julio Rey - 42 (Coldplay cover)

This goes out to the 300-plus people that viewed my train wreck rendition of Glass Of Water. It's a punk-bordering-on-metal dismemberment of that gentle ballad about dead people by everybody's favorite band that rips off U2 but sounds better than them anyway. Thanks to my fellow congregants at International Church of South Florida for their tolerance and support in my quest to irritate Coldplay fans, and to my favorite cameraman, the CEO of Techno-Coatings, Juan Pablo Camargo. This act was perpetrated on August 23, 2009. Thank you.

Julio Rey - My Favorite Football Team (live)

In salute to this year's beginning of that great waste of time that is football season, here's a country kickspitter I wrote 25 years ago after a rare second half collapse suffered by my New York Jets in 1984. Went over real well with the Dolphins fans in church today. Filmed at Intl Church of SoFlo by Juan Pablo Camargo, August 16, 2009.

The game that inspired the song is right here.
