A stupidly great video for an average Weezer song, perfect for a slow news Friday Night on a Memorial Day weekend, from the upcoming Red Album.

Charles, I just saw that song on YouTube about 15 minutes ago, and I thought of you.
When I was looking for "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas.

I went with someone to go see a Weezer show (so that person wouldn't have to go alone) and was really impressed with their live performance.
They truly rock hard on stage. I am not a fan, but I wouldn't be apposed to seeing them live again.

Their live performance is pretty impressive. They rocked their songs a lot harder than what I was expecting based on what I've heard on the radio. There was a pretty serious mosh pit going, even. Had I not spent all day drinking beer in the hot sun I might have jumped in.

Bad, bad storms. Greensburg is in the path of what the Weather Channel says looks to be an EF-5, the strongest tornado. That's the same area that was flattened last year. To the north, Hays--a place near and dear to my heart--is about to get hit. There's another one between--from what I can tell--between Greensburg and Hays, near Dodge City.

Not from CO but a home rule city is usually a city of a certain size that by statute can make certain decisions for itself that otherwise would be controlled by the state (if they choose to select home rule status).

For the last couple of days, I've been wondering how to find a co-workers Daily Kos username. Well, it came to me today that he had been a strong Edwards supporter; a quick search on Daily Kos (yuk; I'm going to need a shower tonight) found him - he barely tried to hide his name, and didn't hide his home email (which he has given out at work)
As an obvious Jew, I wanted to see if there was any trace of anti-Semitism; he seems OK but I never know.
