For No One

No Plugs today.
But I am close to finally finishing the latest and last Wraith comic. I say last, because, my webcomics only slightly pay the bills, and I must focus on the two most popular, Fat Bug and JesusMan!. I would really like to release one episode of each per month, and that has become hard with three titles. So, The Wraith is going on indefinite hiatus, until webcomics become my full time job. Sorry Wraith fans, and yes there are a lot of you. The Wraith is the thrid most popular comic in the Stool Sample Webcomics family, but something had to give.

For No One; The Beatles, off the album Revolver. Depressing song no? Obviously about the dissolution of a love relationship. Written solely by McCartney, it pretty much sums up his failing 3 year relationship with McCartney which would end about a year and a half later. Neither has particularly commented much on their time together, but by all accounts it was a fairly rocky relationship after the first year. I would imagine many can associate with this song, it perfectly describes many a relationship gone bad.

Again, solely a McCartney piece, in fact, only Ringo was the other Beatle to contribute to the song. McCartney sang, played piano, bass, and clavicord, Starr drums, and tamborine. The French Horn solo in the middle of the song was contributed by Alan Civil, and McCartney encouraged him to push the instrument beyond it's normal sound level, hence the strangness of the horn sound.

As for Lennon and Harrison, both love the song, with Lennon commenting he felt it was on of McCartney's best songs ever.

Imus.
Malach does not normally do this, but he reprinted a column by Jason Whitlock on the subject over at the WoW. Extremely well written and insightful. As for Imus, MSNBC finally had a good excuse to dump him.

Man.
Am I glad I never joined the reserves. Of course Dropping My Daily Stool Sample live from Iraq would be a trip.

Stem Cell Research.
Ok what bothers me most about the thinking of "destruction or endangerment of living human embryos" is what do we do with these thousands of unwanted embryos? You have legal abortions in this country, and legalized Invitro, so I ask you again, don't you want to get the benefits out of these embryos that are basically going to be destroyed anyway?

Wow!
We could solve all the world's energy issues by tapping into the hot air that will out of this debate.

NYC is a DMZ.
I don't know why anyone would be shocked by this. Ever been to Manhatten. You walk out of a building or a car to the smell of exhaust, you eyes leak, nose runs, until your get used to it.

The Mood of Red Sox Nation.
Well Dice K mania fell flat on it's face today, and this kid pitching Seattle, Hernandez is impressive. Oh and some advice to Sox fans. If you are going to make signs for Dice K . . . please illustrate 2 dice, and not 1 die. You see 1 die make die k, or basically dyke. Our mood: Anime Sad.

Middle America is so kooky.
Creation Museum is now open! Malach is opening the Gravity Is Not Real Museum in 2008. It is very interesting that over the past 40 years or so the Catholic Church has become the voice of reason and mediation.
