That'll Show Them
In protest of the Bush administrations insanity, I have started to listen to my Cat Stevens Greatest Hits CD in my car. I mean seriously, the man who wrote such songs as "Peace Train" and "Moonshadow", is obviously a terrorist. Evil. Going to kill us all.
This latest deportation furthers the idea that Bush and his cronies aren't seriously looking into threats, and instead are generalizing all Muslims as terrorists. I just think it's funny how this man, Cat fuckin' Stevens for goodness sakes, is considered a threat, while I would find many American artists, like Eminem much worse. If only for the homophobic, misogynistic lyrics that are offensive and insulting and sell millions of copies. But I guess that's the American way!
It just makes me mad. And Bush sucks. Please if you have the ability to vote in November, please do. Someone needs to stop this madness.
And I will continue to belt out the lyrics to "Peace Train" in my mobile Kareoke bar (TM FameTracker) (also known as my car).
In other news, I finished Alias Grace today. I know what your thinking, didn't I write about reading that in my very first entry in this blog. A long, long time ago? The answer would be yes. My only excuse for it taking me so long is that I read approximately 5 books in between starting and finishing this one.
Anyway. I liked it. I recommend it. So I guess Atwood gets a pass from me. I don't think I'll ever be able to fully forgive her for the horror she put me through in grade 11 when I was forced to read the Edible Woman. But still. This and Handmaid's Tale were both quite good. I may try another one of hers someday. I do need a book for the ferry ride on Thanksgiving weekend. Does anyone have any favourites of hers they think I should check out? I heard Cats Eye is very good, as well as The Blind Assassin and the Robber Bride. Has anyone read them? Should I?
Thank you in advance.
Traitor.
