Weather Report

I started listening to these guys in 7th grade. Does not hurt to have a drummer as a father. Joe Zawinul (keyboards) was one of the grandfathers of electronic music, incorporating samples into his compositions with his armory of synths (see his solo record, Dialects). Shorter (sax) is still to this day one of the most talented jazz players and composers to have lived. Erskine (drums) is tremendous, and Jaco (fretless bass) well, Jaco is still my biggest musical influence.

G.W.Bush on decision to initiate the Iraq War in 2003: "I was a dissenting voice. I didn't want to use force"

Key word here: was. He was, then he wasn't and then it happened. So Mr. President you weren't a dissenting voice at all, but instead you the President who flew onto an Aircraft carrier on a fight Jet in full military garb and said it was over and it's still happening.

For Sunday

Kenneth C. Davis writes at the Smithsonian:

The problem is that this tidy narrative is an American myth. The real story of religion in America’s past is an often awkward, frequently embarrassing and occasionally bloody tale that most civics books and high-school texts either paper over or shunt to the side. And much of the recent conversation about America’s ideal of religious freedom has paid lip service to this comforting tableau.

From the earliest arrival of Europeans on America’s shores, religion has often been a cudgel, used to discriminate, suppress and even kill the foreign, the “heretic” and the “unbeliever”—including the “heathen” natives already here. Moreover, while it is true that the vast majority of early-generation Americans were Christian, the pitched battles between various Protestant sects and, more explosively, between Protestants and Catholics, present an unavoidable contradiction to the widely held notion that America is a “Christian nation.”
