MOBY: DEEP THINKER

[Jonah Goldberg ]

Folks, Moby's blog is High-larious. I found it because I was reading a "What now?" symposium at Salon. I never wondered why Moby's counsel isn't sought at the highest levels of government, academia and finance before, but I found the answer anyway. An excerpt:

.. some of us might long for a secession wherein certain parts of the country declare their sovereign autonomy, but given our current state of quasi-united states, well, bush won. tonight i realized that although america is possessed of a lot of progressive people, america is essentially a right-wing republican country. we might resist this fact, but it is a fact. it's not a fact in manhattan. it's not a fact in l.a or san francisco. but for 100+ million people it's a fact ... and now we ask ... what now? with another 4 years of a republican president/senate/house, well ... what do they want? the right-wing have re-asserted their dominance. what do they want? i do hope that the democrats in the house and senate do their best to impose sane restrictions upon the more extreme tendencies of the newly empowered right-wing ... the sun will rise tomorrow, and the people who voted for bush will: a) send their sons/daughters off to war in iraq; b) complain about unemployment; c) lament their lack of health care; d) complain about the high price of prescription drugs; e) complain about a low minimum wage; f) complain about high gas prices/heating oil costs; g) and so on; h) and so on ... the people have made their choice. and now, for better or worse, they have to live with their choice ... can someone remind me why secession is not an option at this point? i mean let's be realistic, we live in a divided country. can't we have the breakaway republics of 'north-east-istan' and 'pacific-stan'? wouldn't the red states be happier without us?"

Hoooohahahahahahahahaahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ... folks, these entertainment people actually think WE'RE stupid .... hahahahaahahaaaa!!!!!

While we can't answer Moopey's closing question -- "wouldn't the red states be happier without us?" -- we can confirm that REAL musicians would be pleased if Moopey stopped cranking out that crap he peddles as "music" ...
