Do you own all the albums of any particular musical artist or group? Who?

U2
Coldplay
I just realised something. If you count all the Best Ofs, I don't actually own all the U2 albums! I didn't buy their most recent release because it only had two new songs and I wasn't about to shell out that much money for songs I already owned. I'm not feeling the U2 love lately, I guess.
A successful coup d'etat affects not merely the history of a nation but may change its very power structure. With the killing of John Kennedy, the very position of the Presidency was drastically reduced in status. Henceforth, the President would be a broker for the war machine. He would be an advocate and spokesman for the Pentagon. All Presidents that followed Kennedy would have to know of their impotence, no matter what their public role.
And:
If we cannot have the truth once and for all about the government's murder of John Kennedy, if the warfare interests in our government are so powerful that they cannot be questioned about such things, then let us have an end to the pretense that this is a government of the people.
If the American people choose to do nothing about what was done to John Kennedy and about the subtle conversion of their country from a democracy to a thinly disguised version of the warfare state, then the republic is lost and we shall never see it again in our time.

And only on January 20, 2009...if she wins. :-)
Why? Because I always wanted to be the first woman President of the United States.
Not the least bit interested in seeing the Simpsons movie after all.
The hell with it.

You have $100 to spend online in the next hour. How are you going to spend it?
Amazon.com, for some used books about the JFK assassination.
There's one in particular that I'm going to buy ASAP. It's by Jesse Curry, who was the Chief of Police in Dallas during the assassination. The book is highly recommended by other researchers, as Curry makes some comments in his book that would lead one to believe that the case against Oswald wasn't as airtight as they led the press and the public to believe.
Gee. Can you imagine? :-P
And I'd probably get the X-Files Season 4 DVDs. I've got the first three seasons and want to get all of them. I miss that show. David Duchovny has a new show on Showtime called "Californication" starting soon. Sounds promising. And Jason told me there's a new X-Files movie in the works! YAY! (Jason's a HUGE X-Phile like me. He's got a poster like Mulder's hanging up in the office by our desks.)
Hmm. I just got an idea for Halloween this year...
