Complete works of Mark Romanek

Fiona Apple - Criminal

I’ve said it once before, but it bears repeating, now.

Mark Romanek is one of the greatest music video makers of our time. He announced the release of a DVD that collects his work over the last 15 years. A must for any music video lover.

World leader pretend

I believe our society would be much more civil if our national leaders were still expected to be on the front lines during wartime. Imagine George W. Bush in full battle armor, sword in hand, riding a mighty steed straight into the hords of unarmed civilian Iraqis.

Why do we accept the fact that the warmakers are the most shielded characters in this sad story? Shouldn’t their lives be on the line just the same as the average grunt?

It’s not that I believe we should return to a world made up of military states, but when we as a society hand complete executive military power to an elected civilian, we are asking for trouble. Especially since we have a president who has repeatedly shown that he is not afraid to use that power, regardless of the consequences.

Maybe we need a king. Hell, we’re already acting like an empire.

We need true blood, though. A direct descendent of Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Jefferson. Someone kingly. The sword must be reforged.
