REV JOHN: On Journey and Huckabee...

You know my thing aboot Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'," right? This morning I was at Mike Huckabee's MySpace page, and noticed they had "Nothing Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship playing. So I posted the following comment:

"Gov. Huckabee, I'd love to vote for you, but you have got to do something about that Starship song. I don't think I can support a candidate who wants to make anything associated with the movie "Mannequin" part of his campaign.

Have you considered Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'?"

By lunchtime, they had the song playing when you visited the page, as well as the following blog post:

Now your's chance to suggest a song (or some songs) to be used here on Mike's official MySpace page. Right now, we have up "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey. Post your comments here as to what you think would be a good tune that would represent the Official Huckabee for President MySpace Page!

There's even an article on Townhall.com called "Don't Stop Believin' in Journey."

America - it's just a small town girl living in a lonely world.

REV. JOHN: Random Thoughts for 6/15

This Sunday on PCLIVE! we'll be looking at "Conservatism: Like the Message, Hate the Messengers" and "The 3rd Party: Bloomberg, Hagel, Gore, et al." If you're free Sunday morning, stop by and say hello.


It's funny, but if the media keeps hammering Mike Huckabee over evolution and keeps trying to create an issue where there isn't an issue, it'll probably actually help him gain traction with primary voters and raise money.


I wasn't much of a fan, but the last episode of The Sopranos was brilliant. More importantly, did you hear the song at the end? FUCKING JOURNEY, MAN!!! You know you heard that song and though of your friendly neighborhood eReverend. What do I keep telling you? America isn't aboot "democracy" or "freedom." It's all aboot Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'." Even Tony Soprano gets it.


Fantastic Four 2 is this weekend. I'm going into the movie with cautious optimism. The second movie is usually the best one - Spiderman 2 was my favourite, and X-Men 2 I thought was flawless. Unfortunately there's still trepidation, because lately going to see the comic book movies is kind of like being in an abusive relationship. You know it's going to hurt, and deep down you know better, but you keep going back anyway.


When you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair talking to some rich folk that you know, I hope you won't see me in my ragged company because you know I could never be alone. Take me down little Susie, take me down. I know you think you're the queen of the underground. And you can send me dead flowers every morning, send me dead flowers by the mail, send me dead flowers to my wedding and I won't forget to put roses on your grave.


I wonder if people realize that when people ban Fox News from their movie premiere, or boycott their debate (after sticking your finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing), they only make Fox News stronger.


One of my associates had thought that that former Senator Bill Frist was going to get the Republican nomination in 2008, and it's beginning to look like he's right. The only difference is the role played by Bill Frist, formally played by Bill Frist, will now being played by former Senator Fred Thompson. Where Democrats fall in love with whoever tells them what they want to hear (Buck Fush), Republicans are apparently looking for the Manchurian Candidate. Before it was Frist, it was former Senator George Allen.


I've made all the Presidential candidates my friends on MySpace. I figure that, at least for the candidates who are fully utilizing it, I'd be able to keep up with what t hey have to say, where they're saying it, etc. And when there are 800 people running for President and national security is so important, I find it funny that someone hacked into Duncan Hunters MySpace page. I suppose there's a chance that he really has fifty free ringtones to offer me, but I doubt it.


Angelina Jolie is an idiot.

REV JOHN: Random Thoughts for 6/1

So I'm reading "The Reagan Diaries," and the most interesting thing so far is his relationship with Tip O'Neil, who for those of you playing the home game was the former Speaker of the House and one of them Massachusetts Democrats the GOP love oh so much. They were political rivals and they had to play there role when the cameras were on. But when the cameras were off, you got a feel for the respect and admiration they would have for each other. I'm only up to July of 1981, and there's already been seven of eight entries aboot how "Tip" was over for dinner, or how they'd be hammering out a deal/compromise on whatever the issue of the day was. That's fascinating when you compare it to today's political landscape. I just can't picture George Bush chatting away with Nancy Pelosi on the phone, or Bill Clinton having Newt over to the Oval for a few drinks.

Rule #87: As long as you aren't looking at jail time, they aren't too young for you.

Apparently the GOP is turning the primaries into the Final Four. You have Fred Thompson vs. Mitt Romney in the "Real" Conservative bracket, and John McCain vs. Rudy Gulianni in the Moderate bracket. Thompson beats Romney (who probably flip flops back to being pro-abortion and pro gay marriage and tries to run as a Democrat). McCain probably squeeks by Rudy in overtime. Then in the finals, people realize that McCain and Thompson are the same person, except that Thompson changed his Immigration position when he decided to run for President. Plus he's the one with the southern accent, so he probably wins.

She's gone. I admit I was wrong, but I can't quit thinking about how good our love used to be. And the whiskey numbs the pain. In the morning, when I wake, I'll be hungover hanging on to a memory. So I'll order one more round. Lose the Coke and keep the Crown. Just drown my misery. And I blind myself with liquor and neon lights, alone and stoned out of my mind. If you think I'm flying high as a kite, you damn right.

Did you know that apple fritters from Starbucks have 0g of transfats per serving? That makes them mad healthy.

There should be an amendment to the Immigration Bill that says anyone who opposes any kind of reform needs to disclose who does their gardening.

You know what makes America totally rule school? It's the fact that no matter what we celebrate - the sacrifice of our brothers and sisters, telling England to go fuck themselves, the parents are out of town, etc. - we do it with beer and BBQ. That's what America is all aboot. It's not gay stuff like "democracy." It's all aboot the Bubba Burgers, the Pabst Blue Ribbon, and Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'." That's what America means to me. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
