Happy snacking! Would Eddie Munster like some blue cheese or Stilton with his Sr. Citizen crisps? Mmmm . . . Tangy goodness from the sea!

TUESDAY IS/ SOYLENT/ GREEN DAY



GREEN DAY: "Idiot America" (with lyrics)

5. The oceans are dying.

A brilliant movie in its own way, even better than the novel.

8. Green Day appreciated it: "Tuesday/ is Soylent/ Green Day" (see above)

Unfortunately, last-minute recognition of a giant Stone Temple on final approach to landing on your head isn't enough. But, at least it provided another great band name: The Stone Temple Pilots

Zardoz Speaks!:

Stone Temple Pilots: (Vasoline)

&feature=branded

Decaying empires make for wonderful material. You really must have a strong stomach, though.

[Hissyspit]

14. I love "Zardoz."

[leveymg]

16. Some of it verges on the absurd, but there are some sublime scenes in it.

It's overall message has aged well. Here are a few more thoughts on that: http://sync.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=639821

2. Are people really paying attention?...

...considering the media keeps saying stupid stuff like, "boy next door charm and looks"...blah blah blah.

Nice to know that it could be a decent-looking guy would blast Social Security and Medicare out of existence.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

15. "Are people really paying attention?..."

Picture a gaggle of little old ladies hitting Ryan AND Romney with their canes.

.....after pepper spaying them.....

[HopeHoops]

3. If the hand of irony has its way, rMoney and rLyan will be left destitute and without social service

One can only hope.

[warrprayer]

4. Hard to believe

that the GOP, with America struggling to get by, and millions out of jobs, would dare to put a ticket like this in our face

[Hissyspit]

6. Offensive and absurd, maybe, but not hard to believe

in these times.

[IDemo]

7. Harder yet to believe - that many struggling Americans will actually vote for this pair n/t

[AdHocSolver]

13. Ryan is a distraction from the real Republican battle plan.

Right-wing Ryan was chosen to reassure the Republican base of Romney's loyalty to the "lunatic fringe" and motivate them to get out the vote.

The real Republican strategy is to disenfranchise enough Democratic voters (phony felon lists, restricted voting days in heavily Democratic districts, "voter ID" challenges, etc.) to get the vote counts close enough together so that hacked voting machines can flip enough votes in Republicans' favor.

9. Republican idea

Soylent Green one of Charlton Heston's flims, the republicans probably think it was a documentary.

[Curmudgeoness]

12. I might hate Charlton Heston, but Soylent Green

was one of those things that woke me up. Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle", Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath", and Soylent Green. I can still see this as something heading toward us.

[tclambert]

10. Great, now Romney's gonna be thinking, "Tasty snack crackers? Hmm, get the Heritage Foundation

think tank working on recipes! So let it be written, so let it be done."

[limpyhobbler]

11. these are always so insightful. nt
