Kilmeade shows us how it's done

I know I said no more politics but I just couldn't let this pass by...

(meh, having trouble getting this video embedded. Until I get it to work right, here's the gist-

Kilmeade: It took Obama only "hours" to appoint Petraeus, "so why is it taking months to plug the leaking oil?")

God... it's just so STUPID!

Just to remind you, this is the portion of FOX news that is considered "news" and not opinion.

In other excellent questions:

It only took Bush 6 years to damage the economy, divide the nation, launch multiple wars, and wreck political discourse... why hasn't Obama been able to fix all this yet?

It took decades of neglect by presidents and congresses of both parties for the country to fill up with illegal immigrants yet Obama has not managed to fix this situation? Why?

It only took a few moments for him to eat breakfast this morning, so why hasn't Social Security been fixed yet?

Obama had a successful meeting with Russian leaders this week, why hasn't he been able to end violence in Africa?

The questions are endless! We need Obama to stop pussyfooting around and solve these problems!

Who the F are The Fray???

Every once in a while I have one of those "Jesus I'm getting old" moments and I think I had one yesterday. While enjoying my evening commute home listening to some talk radio where they were talking about an upcoming concert by The Fray. I was just tuning that crap out and I was too lazy to change the channel when I catch them throw in how Our Lady Peace was opening up for them.

What!

Has it really been so long that a somewhat relevant band like OLP is opening up for some band I've never heard of? They had some pretty decent songs like this,

this,

and this

during the last 15 years or so. So when the hell did this happen? I couldn't name a single song by The Fray if my life depended on it. After listening to what radio-guy was saying they've had a song or two on teevee shows, including my personal favorite, Scrubs. So with a little searching I found this clip...

... and I've seen that episode a million times. The song ain't too bad, although I don't know if it's any better than Coldplay. I have a short history of digging songs associated with shows I dig. There was a brief period where I would arrange my schedule around Smallville (hello miss kreuk!) and the opening ...

... caused me to fall in love with the whole song by the little-known Remy Zero and their one (semi)hit "Save Me".

Yeah!

So maybe I'll try giving The Fray a chance. But Our Lady Peace was pretty good at rockin' out at one point. Let's hope all these kids don't forget that.
