black thursday

inauguration day. i'm wearing all black for the occasion. yes, black is the only color my coat comes in. shut up. four more years. in dog years, that's a goddam long time.

i have to add dennis hopper to the "why the hell is he a republican" list:

Republican donor and veteran actor Dennis Hopper on his last-minute blackballing from the inaugural festivities today: "We were dismayed this week when my invitation to participate in the 'Celebration of Freedom' event . . . was withdrawn by the Presidential Inaugural Committee ... However, I would still like to express my support for President George Bush and our next four years." (Reliable Source)

i don't get it, easy rider. are you just another 60s sell out? did you fall off your motorcycle without a helmet? are you born again? are you on a bad trip? i could understand, say, a libertarian political independent who might have republican leanings but bush is no small-government anti-establishment libertarian. he was a yale cheerleader. don't be fooled by the brush clearing and cowboy boots. i know as a dog i can sniff out a lot more stuff than you nose- impaired naked apes, but can't you smell the bullshit, too?

to get serious for a moment, i'd like to address a serious problem in america today. three nights of american idol per week. i'm not going to say i have good taste in television. but i'm a dog, i think rolling in dead fish is a good time. what's your excuse?
