...not quite the end of the world

Toby Keith is a scary man.

He has a new movie coming out called "Beer For My Horses" and was on The Colbert Report - where he performed a song called "Whiskey For My Men, Beer For My Horses."

Well a man, come on
Six o'clock news
Says somebody been shot
Somebody's been abused
Somebody blew up a building
Somebody stole their car
Somebody got away
Somebody didn't get too far, yeah
They didn't get too far

Grandpappy told my pappy
Back in my day, son
A man had to answer
For the wicked thing he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree
Round up all of them bad boys
And hang 'em high in the street
For all the people to see

And justice is the one thing
You should always find
You gotta saddle up your boys
You gotta draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles
We'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back
At the local saloon

We'll raises up our glasses
Against evil forces
Singing, "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!"

We got too many gangsters
Doing dirty deeds
Too much corruption
And crime in the streets
It's time the long arm of the law
Put a few more in the ground
Send them all to their Maker
And he'll set them on down
You can bet, He'll set 'em down

Perhaps it's my sensitive liberal ears, but I kinda think the message is "Hurrah LYNCHING!" - who needs Justice, when GOOD always prevails. This is what happens when you listen to too much indie, you start to think people are pretty on the inside as well.

Also, DC has decided to kill Bruce Wayne, and have someone else be Batman.(again)

And Frank Miller was supposed to be writing this graphic novel called ""Holy Terror Batman" or "Holy War Batman," (whatever) and he's decided to take Batman out of the title...and the book. I think I'll stop defending his CRAZY, now. Apparently 9/11 really fucked him up.

(scroll down to the relevant entry, it contains spoilers)

And since that connects to something that really pisses me off when I see it - Some American Mint or something keeps offering up "commemorative" 9/11 coins. Every year.

Cause what better way to remember an event so awful as to CHANGE THE FACE OF THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL WORLD than with a coin. And a fucking movie.

There are no words.

fuck it, incredible realism, do.not.want.
