Because if it does, I heard that President Obama is actually a Sith, and that if he is reelected he’s going to pass an act that cedes half of American soil to the inhabitants of Jar Jar Binks’ planet. Say goodbye to the country if THAT happens. » Posted By whatsthatsound On July 7, 2011 @ 2:42 pm cheers, friend! » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 5, 2011 @ 6:35 pm Standard and Poor’s » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 5, 2011 @ 6:30 pm ha ha, The Doors! » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 5, 2011 @ 6:28 pm She’s a minister in her prime. » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 5, 2011 @ 6:18 pm Hey, KT, I think you’re the only one that got this joke of mine, and you didn’t get it right away! » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 5, 2011 @ 6:11 pm read it again, jkk…..you’ll get it…… » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 5, 2011 @ 4:06 pm It’s a downer, but well worth reading. Noam Chomsky on America’s self-inflicted decline: » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 5, 2011 @ 4:04 pm Yingluck Shinawatra agreed to sit down with a Whatsipedia interviewer for a one on one interview about being the first female prime minister of Thailand and having such a great last name. WTS: Congratulations! Thailand is experiencing tumultuous times. What do you have to say about the future of your country? » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 5, 2011 @ 3:27 am ha ha! Hubba hubba! » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 4, 2011 @ 11:06 pm Thailand has a babe Prime Minister! Yingluck Shinawatra (no relation to American singer Frank Shinawatra) is the first female PM in the country’s history, and forgive me for pointing out, she is a looker! Congratulations Yingluck! Congratulations, Thailand! Congratulations Ol’ Blue Eyes, wherever you are! » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 4, 2011 @ 10:46 pm They’re amateurs, and they’ve painted themselves into a corner. They’re like Joe McCarthy; useful for a while but when they overplay their hand, as he did, they lose all their backing. Fringe elements of the public will egg them on, but party elders, the Koch machine, Rove, etc. will begin to start slowly pulling the plug on them. » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 4, 2011 @ 3:05 pm In an effort to compromise, the president has agreed to remain fifty until 2013. » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 4, 2011 @ 2:35 pm Splunge Redux: » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 3, 2011 @ 3:12 pm Same, against the death penalty, but I would shed no tears were it applied in this case. » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 3, 2011 @ 3:10 pm Very, VERY, evil people: » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 3, 2011 @ 2:51 pm Chuck Norris eats boogers. » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 2, 2011 @ 7:37 pm Hey, don’t blame cyber-pixies on me! All I did was alert you to their existence. » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 2, 2011 @ 2:49 pm Really, jkk. I do. I write, and perform my own songs on stage from time to time. It’s a hobby and I don’t do it all that often. But nobody throws tomatoes so I think that’s a good sign. I can also do a “Mack the Knife” that brings down the house! » Posted By whatsthatsound On August 1, 2011 @ 1:53 am I like that rephrasing! And I tend to agree. Music is something that people can gather around, jam to, etc. Visual art/ poetry is a more personal thing, both in how it is created and how it is appreciated. Music is truly the closest thing we have to a universal language. » Posted By whatsthatsound On July 31, 2011 @ 6:21 pm That was cool! » Posted By whatsthatsound On July 31, 2011 @ 6:19 pm I see. In the sense that their delivery is OTT and drowns out their points, I agree with you, and presumably Adlib as well. It is sad that most political commentary has descended to this black and white, us vs. them timbre. » Posted By whatsthatsound On July 31, 2011 @ 6:02 pm Very much so. I doubt whether any of my students could name a Japanese or Chinese composer from the same period (nor could I!) » Posted By whatsthatsound On July 31, 2011 @ 5:57 pm I have reservations about agreeing with that. First, because I write and paint as well as sing. » Posted By whatsthatsound On July 31, 2011 @ 5:54 pm I could go back and watch it again if you assure me it’s there, but I don’t remember either of them saying I can definitely relate to what they are talking about. I found the whole “didn’t get their pony” to be every bit the strawman argument you accuse these two of making, and as far off the mark as it can be, just as I believe Cleaver’s comments to be. Not to mention it is extremely insulting. On the contrary, I would say the people I know who expected the most from Obama (and I’m thinking of some of the Democrats here in Japan), such as setting up a sort of “Truth Commission” on the Iraq War, are STILL supporting him gung-ho. They just tamp down their expectations, make excuses for him, and keep calling him the only adult in the room. I respectfully, but fully, disagree with Caru and you about this. I think those guys are for the most part on target. They may be hyperbolic, but I don’t see this as anywhere near the outright lies that Fox tells. » Posted By whatsthatsound On July 31, 2011 @ 5:35 pm AD shares his JD » Posted By whatsthatsound On July 31, 2011 @ 5:19 pm Tomorrow Never Knows » Posted By whatsthatsound On July 31, 2011 @ 5:18 pm In Japan, music study is more widely prevalent than in the U.S. » Posted By whatsthatsound On July 31, 2011 @ 5:17 pm I’d go along with that. » Posted By whatsthatsound On July 31, 2011 @ 5:16 pm That’s very well said, and much appreciated KT. But still, there are many great creators who are lost to time. The recording industry ensures that even Rebecca Black’s “Friday” will be available in the way some of the great 17th centuries will not, but nobody will be listening, I think! But I’m just saying I don’t think the Beatles will push their way into the pantheon. There will be Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Verdi, etc. But no Beatles. I could be wrong. » Posted By whatsthatsound On July 31, 2011 @ 5:10 pmComments Posted By whatsthatsound
Btw, it doesn’t bother me that jkk didn’t get it, because she’s silly. 😉

Shinawatra: The Best is Yet To Come.
WTS: You have said that you want to boost your country’s technological capabilities to compete with other countries in your region, particularly China. What would you like your country’s nascent space industry to accomplish while you are in office?
Shinawatra: Fly Me To The Moon.
WTS: Do you plan to play a large international role? Where do you plan to visit first in your new role?
Shinawatra: New York, New York.
WTS: Some are skeptical about how much autonomy you will actually have. Your brother Thaksin, former prime minister, has gone so far as to call you his “clone”. Will you basically be doing things his way?
Shinawatra: My Way.
WTS: One of the regular posters on this site, Khirad, seems to disagree with my assessment of you as a “babe”. What do you say to that?
Shinawatra: That’s Life.
WTS: Thank you, Ms. Shinawatra, for taking the time to do this interview!

According to Nancy Youssef, the deal may actually be even better than what the Defense Dept. was expecting BEFORE the House and the WH went to the mat.

Secondly, because I believe that humans didn’t invent music. We picked it up. It is an essential component of the universe, according to my personal philosophy.
“The past two and a half years under Obama have been indistinguishable from 8 years of Bush?”

They all know about the Classical composers, whether they like and listen to them or not.
