STEIN'S BACK
I didn't know she was here, but I'll be voting for her [Jill Stein] because neither major party gives a shit about me. For those who want to fear monger about Romney winning, pphht. The fact that such an inept jackass is helming the GOP is proof that they were never serious about the race in the first place. Our wars and our shitty economy are like a baby in a crap-filled diaper that they are more than happy to leave President Hopey holding onto for another four years. Obama will remain in office and I, for one, am looking forward to seeing all his rank-and-file apologists continue to rally 'round him as he continues to stick it to them and bail out his super-rich bosses time and time again. But you know, in such a cool and groovy and polite way, not in a ham-fisted, Bible-thumping, uncool way like Romney would. Wheeee,

OVER-MEDICATED
I've recently noticed your "Off the Record" reviewers have been complaining about albums being the length of, well, albums. If you want to rub one out to iTunes-endorsed bubble gum singles, download an audio excerpt from a classic porn Web site and stay in your bedroom. Otherwise, grow up and listen. You shouldn't have to be on a double dose of Adderall to enjoy a CD.
