Same As It Ever Was

Stupid Evil Bastard has this passage from the Nuremberg trial of Hermann Goering.

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

I’m not comparing Bush to Hitler. I’m just trying to use my small corner of the web to remind people to take a second look at their reasoning and make sure it’s theirs, not somebody else’s.

[ Thanks for the link, Scott. ]

Welcome to the Groovy Grove

Ever since I started the blog, I keep ignoring the rest of the website. In an effort to pull the blog back into line with the rest of the site and to remind me it’s all one happy family (and to give me more headaches), I have changed Solonor’s Ink Well to look like Solonor’s Groovy Grove of Mystical Wonders, of which it is a part. Tell me what you think!

MSNBC Best of Blogs

Weblog central at MSNBC gets updated weekly with “Best of the Blogs”. This week, I am quoted as saying the best blog I read is Michele’s. All I have to say about that is: Seki and Mordant and Muse and Cranky, please, don’t hurt me!

Bigger Than Elvis

A mysterious press release showed up in my inbox today:

POSTED FOR IMMEDIATE WORLDWIDE RELEASE

Revolver Fans Announce Revolver Fan Web Site

BANGOR, Maine, Oct. 9, 2002

I, Robot. U, Suck.

This is for all you fellow liberals out there. Why wait to be insulted on someone’s blog when you can do it yourself with the warbot at inksyndicate.com? Just put in your name and gender, and out pops a delightful little rant on your character that would make Ann Coulter pee her pants with glee.

And, if you don’t feel like getting trashed for being liberal (or if you’re one of my misguided conservative readers), you can get your very own record review instead.

I put my pseudonym in, and out popped a review of my 1994 album, “Meet Solonor Rasreth” (3-1/2 stars):

An amibitious concept album about the environment and the simple joy of life, the main dish of this quietly assured meal is the middle-of-the-road “War Horse.” A penchant for power-riffing sonic assault makes Meet Solonor Rasreth truly savvy. Solonor Rasreth gained a reputation early on for being compelling. Meet Solonor Rasreth lives up to its title.

Until now, Solonor Rasreth was principally known as a gutsy live act. Underneath his antics lies a melodic artistic maturity that reveals how he has grown since he was a young punk. Don’t call it a comeback — Solonor Rasreth has been here for years — but never with such crunchy bravado.

His fury has made him the hero of a whole new generation.

Trade Show No Mo’

Ah, I am back early. It wasn’t nearly so bad as I had feared. The advantage to living here was in getting home at a decent hour every night (if ya call leaving the house at 6:30am and getting home at 10:00pm decent). The possible disadvantage was missing the after hours socializing. (I don’t think our people are allowed in Pat O’Brien’s anymore…)
