Please, please, please, let me get what I want

Dear Santa Clause,

While I know I haven't been the best behaved girl this year, there are a lot of people who've been worse than me. As a matter of fact, all I want for Christmas this year are for the CIA leak indictments to be a trainwreck of political responsibility and finger-pointing. And for people to sit up, out of their Cheetos and E! True Hollywood Story induced comas, and get a fucking clue, that our government is run by OVERT liars, cheats and the sleaziest kind of robo-politicians known to man kind. Guess what? You people elected them. I blame every single uninformed idiot who cast a ballot last year, everyone who couldn't be bothered to get off their asses to vote, and any idiot who voted for Ralph Nader. But I digress.

Santa, all I'm asking for is some political accountability and news judgement. Thanks.

Also, IF you watch Laguna Beach (It's a guilty pleasure, I know) here is an except from what the extremely eloquent Talan Torriero about what he's doing with his life now.

Talan is also working on his first album. "Music has always been in my life," the southern California surfer explains. Now he's landed in the studio with Dallas Austin and Damon Thomas, superfamous producers known for thier work with Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake. "I'm planning on going the route of Jimmy Eat World's first record or Green Day's latest," he says. "I want to do songs about politics, love and war."

It is obvious. OBVIOUS that Talan thinks that Jimmy Eat World's first album was Bleed American , released in 2001. Which, um, isn't really political. Nor was Jimmy Eat World released in 1994, Static Prevails, 1996, or Clarity , 1999.

As a matter of fact, I can't think of any Jimmy records that I, personally, would define as political.

Shut up Talan.
