Virtual March on Washington today

Don't forget folks: today is the day that we're trying to keep the entire Senate switchboard lit up with calls opposing Bush's war. Sign up at The MoveOn Win Without War Webpage.

I phoned and said that, while I acknowlege the necessity of the United States using force at times to protect itself and its national interests, I do not support this war at this time, primarily because I do not trust the Bush administration. I feel that the current administration has a pattern of actions in which context this war looks very sinister.

If you'd like to participate, go to the link, read the info. Go ahead and call the Capitol switchboard at 1-800-839-5276. (You just phone that number, a nice person says, "Capitol," and you ask for the office of the Representative or Senator you'd like the office of.)

WB's The Lone Ranger

I watched it. I liked it, because I like stinky cheese. As one review stated, "Once you accept tepees with hot tubs, the rest is easy." And Lis was amused by the passionate, soulful looks The Lone Ranger and Tonto gave each other. If this thing was picked up for a series (which will happen sometime after Bozo The Clown: Crimefighter is given the nod (no, there is no such series concept -- I just made it up just now)), I can see lots of LR/T. Anyway, I just want to say, the horse they got for Silver has got to be the most butt-ugly horse I've ever seen. I mean, it was white, sure. But it was albino white, with pink eyes. And it looked like it was inbred. I don't know ANYTHING about horses, but it had a swayback, lousy withers, its forelegs were all weird, and it was just plain ugly.

Lis and I are now arguing about the realism of Tonto's sister's dress which she was able to untie ONE tie and have the whole thing come off. I maintain that that's perfectly reasonable because it was a DREAM SEQUENCE, after all.

And the fourth movement of the William Tell Overture just does not work well on electric guitar.

. . . added a couple minutes later . . .

Oh yeah, and why would you change the name of the character to "Luke Hartman" when originally the character was called "John Reid", which is just so much more butch?

Oh, and Lis pointed out that I forgot to mention Keanu-sabe, the OTHER guy who's got the hots for Tonto's sister.
