    Colbert vs O'Reilly

    instead of 'use markup' select 'use html' under the reply window. then copy and paste the 'embed' link from the youtube page. voila!
  4. lets you get back to the wookies in the lot faster for your heady burritos.
  5. and after a set like that it puts you to sleep rather than putting you over the top. yeah it's a good song. i don't think it's right for an arena-rock encore though.
  6. where did you find that song by the Prince Brothers that was one one of your mixes? I can't find anything by them anywhere, and I love that song.
  7. i'd also like to push for a new compilation! (I have the tracklistings zero but they're at home. I imagine someone will chime in here before i get there. sorry)
  8. i saw them years ago (1997) at the horseshoe, one of the worst shows i've ever seen. which was too bad because i liked the album they were supporting (Tone Soul Evolution) Never bothered to listen to them again. Didn't know they were still around actually. Are they good now?
  9. except front page of toronto star, cbc, globe and mail.... or were you talking about this site?

    Liberal MP to quit

    Liberal MP to quit Quebec member's resignation boosts minority government fortunes in Ottawa January 11, 2007 Canadian Press OTTAWA – Quebec Liberal MP Jean Lapierre is resigning from the federal party caucus, further boosting the prospects of the minority Conservative government. A lawyer and broadcaster, Lapierre, 50, confirmed Thursday he is leaving politics by month's end to join the Montreal-based TVA television network, where he will co-host a weekly show on politics with reporter Paul Larocque. "It's over," Lapierre told The Canadian Press. "I had promised Paul Martin to come back and work with him but now I'm done." The resignation, coming on the heels of last week's defection to the government by Liberal Wajid Khan, reduces the Liberal Opposition to 100 members and gives the Conservative minority a two-seat cushion, provided Prime Minister Stephen Harper can strike a deal with NDP Leader Jack Layton to pass key legislation in the House of Commons. Lapierre was persuaded by former prime minister Paul Martin to rejoin the Liberal party in 2004 after defecting to the separatist Bloc Quebecois in the early 1990s and then leaving politics for more than a decade. "Paul Martin became prime minister and then got hit by a big truck called Gomery," he said, referring to the sensational inquiry into Liberal corruption, conducted by Justice John Gomery in 2005. ``After that, it was very difficult. "People didn't trust any more politicians in general and Liberals in particular. In those murky waters, it was difficult for anyone to swim and stay afloat." Lapierre's departure will leave open his Montreal riding of Outremont, where it is widely rumoured Justin Trudeau may run. Lapierre said he leaves the riding association in good shape, with $50,000 in the bank. He said his return to politics was a positive experience, despite the advertising scandal that gutted Liberal support in Quebec during last year's federal election. "I knew what I was getting myself into," he said. "I hadn't thought it would be so difficult because nobody envisioned how big the sponsorship affair would get. It was a disaster for two years. "But, in real life, when you get into politics you have to be tough-skinned. It's an extreme sport. I did not regret. I had made a conscious decision and now, though, I'm happy to go back to the private sector." With Lapierre's exit, the new standings in the 308-seat House of Commons will be: Conservatives 125, Liberals 100, Bloc Quebecois 51, NDP 29, and two independents; Speaker Peter Milliken is a Liberal and only votes the case of a tie.
  11. From http://blogs.mercurynews.com/aei/2007/01/a_night_of_colb.html The much-discussed crossover involving Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor'' and Comedy Central's Colbert Report'' is going to happen. The two cable channels have announced that Bill O'Reilly and Stephen Colbert will trade appearances on their respective shows the night of Jan. 18 -- which should make some for real giggles. "The Colbert Report'' is, of course, a faux news show that sends up right-wing pundits, while "The O'Reilly Factor'' (the top-rated show in all of cable news) just seems like a faux news show (well, to liberals anyway.) It sounds as if both men are going into the cross-over with the right attitude. In a statement, Colbert said it was going to be "an honor to speak face-to-face with a broadcasting legend -- and I feel the same way about Mr. O'Reilly.'' Meanwhile, O'Reilly allowed that he was "looking forward to speaking to the man who owes his entire career to me.'' And that's the truthiness.
  12. i heard it was closer to 1300, and that they've already started to hire people back since some snow fell. and that this happened last week.
  13. what's wrong with the pretenders? (or is this an inside joke i'm stepping in?)
  14. talk about a buzzkill for the encore! i'm still partial to detroit and dayton (especially dayton) from the 6 and 7 of december 97. but rochester is a great show nonetheless.
  15. Saw this hilarious thing at Pitchfork. Lady Sovereign was called out by a jelly donut at a gig.
  16. i first heard aerosmith at summercamp in maybe 90 or 91... the song hangman jury (side b track one of permanent vacation) and i loved it. got into the early stuff, loved it. eventually found better music and moved on, have never looked back. sweet emotion is still an amazing song. and i still know all the words to permanent vacation.
  17. You got my hopes up. Thought you were talking about one of Canada's best bands.
