Red Friday


Dr. Silverman sent me this. Although I find the choice of red odd, I appreciate the idea. Once again, we represent all sides here at Capitalist Hippie, and if you don't like it, start your own blog...

(abbreviated from original message)
Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar, will wear something red.

The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?" is...We need your support and your prayers. Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear some thing red every Friday.

Clear Mind, Mad Soul


You can't accuse my bro of not speaking his mind. Check out his blog here. Warning: Sensitive, humorless libs should probably head here instead.

I'm Speechless...

Rumsfeld says no U.N. access to Guantanamo inmates

I don't give a fuck about these prisoners at Gitmo or what the UN thinks but Rumsfeld is still a nut. I love how he spins the detainee hunger strike:

Asked about the motivation of the hunger strikers, Rumsfeld said, "Well, I suppose that what they're trying to do is to capture press attention, obviously, and they've succeeded."

He added, "There are a number of people who go on a diet where they don't eat for a period and then go off of it at some point. And then they rotate and other people do that."

The Amphiyard

Thanks to Wes and Kelly, LA finally has what it's been missing: an unpretentious outdoor music venue offering great local music all for a small donation.
Here's the link to Amphiyard.
and some of the bands that played this Sat. night:
Darker My Love
Drinks With Alice
Monsters Are Waiting

Costume party

Last year, I was Lebowski but didn't get a picture. This Halloween, started As Joe Dirt but morphed into Spider Sanchez, my new undercover dirty cop persona. Along the way, we tried a couple other looks for fun. Click on pic for larger view and enjoy my lack of self-respect:

Darker My Love

Awww fuck, I'm like a little kid again. These guys fuckin' rock. What a show last night! Get the three song Ep and be cool before everyone else.

The Jerk

Remember that scene when Steve Martin finds himself in the phone book? That's what "Google"ing yourself is like. It's ATKATSH not Atkash. Rookies..
