LYRIC OF THE WEEK |
"Changin’
colors into numbers,
Zeros and ones are all the rage,
The past is changin’ while you slumber,
You can’t believe the written page,
I
don’t know what to believe,
When history gets rewrit,
They’re sayin’ Nixon was a good man,
They say the stamp proves it,
Don’t believe that sh*t."
Red
Star Belgrade, “Nixon Stamp” |

LYRIC OF THE WEEK |
"Now
granny she's yelling she's ready to eat,
She's havin' conniptions 'cause they won't take their seats,
But she's got 'em all gathered now under one roof,
With her camcorder loaded, she's gonna get proof,
But do you have to wear that, well I just don't see why,
Please pass the potatoes, aw eat sh*t and die,
Did you hear about Ellen, she's leaving you know,
How 'bout those Packers, think it'll snow?
And the minute it's over they'll scatter like quail,
Off down the freeway in the teeth of a gale,
Silent and shattered and numb to the core,
They count themselves lucky they got through one more holiday."
James
McMurtry, "Holiday" |

"So
let 'em eat jellybeans, let 'em eat cake,
Let 'em eat sh*t, whatever it takes."

LYRIC OF THE WEEK |
"Used
to be a bunch of spray paint
underneath there. Still is.
Supposed to say, 'I LOVE SATAN.'
It says, 'I LOVE SATIN.'
That's some stupid sh*t."

For my landlocked blues."

Liberty's a homicide, she's been flogged to death
with money's monkey
wrench."

takin' sides over periwinkle blue,

CHEEZED OFF EMAIL OF THE WEEK |
"Terri Gibbs is blind, idiot! Maybe you ought to do some research before you insult people."
- ANONYMOUS EMAIL
What? Terri Gibbs is blind? Are you serious?
(And we thought the big dark glasses were
just a fashion statement...)
Listen, buddy, we're equal opportunity casters-of-aspersion here at cheezeball.net. What makes you think the blind are sacrosanct? (And besides, we didn't even make a joke about Terri's blindness. You want a blind joke? Check out what we said about Ronnie Milsap in Bad Album Covers, Gallery 8.)

"Now
there's a woman who knows how to hate."
--RICHARD M. NIXON ON BARBARA BUSH
"What
I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in
Texas. Everybody is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many
of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged
anyway--this is, this is working very well for them."

BUSH ON THE VICTIMS OF HURRICANE KATRINA |
