found this interview [warning: link is rated R for language, tho by today's sorry MPAA standards, it would be PG-13] by Brave Works & Bloody Knuckles via Jason of Avoca (via Andrew Sullivan), and i have come to the following conclusions:
1) i am seriously crushing on Jon Schaffer, ICED EARTH bandleader/songwriter, though i have no idea what he looks like or if he's married, etc. so if you're his wife and reading this, my apologies.
2) i will buy every ICED EARTH album, though i've never heard their music. i do like heavy metal, though, so rock on.
3) it's fun to watch an uninformed leftist Canadian get his gralls kicked by someone smarter than him (no offense to the smart Canadians out there). if only Condi could say what she wants to say, this is what it would have looked like when she shoved Bob Kerrey's moronic questions back in his face. and anyone who quotes Chomsky as truth deserves to have his head stuck in the toilet for swirly after swirly.
wow, there are too many great quotes to excerpt them all, read the whole article. i will give you my favorite parts, though...
BW&BK [Canadian interviewer]: Do you think 9/11 will be viewed as the first event in the US empire's decline and fall?
My new crush Jon Schaffer: No. This is not an empire, first of all. If the United States was an empire, your country would be our 51st state.
AND
BW&BK: So you don't see the Bush regime as being cultural imperialists? You don't see them as trying to force the American way of life on to a nation that maybe doesn't want it?
My new crush Jon Schaffer: "No. If you think that's true, then why are 70 or 80 percent of the people are thrilled to have us there. Have you not seen that? And it's not a regime, by the way. You keep up that kind of language I'm going to end the interview right now."
That '51st State' line is my favoite.

I feel so used when idiot Canadians get their voice out - using Noam Chomsky as a base for facts, I mean come on! And that Canadian bias line. Maybe you guys should invade.

maybe we would, the bear, but what would be in it for us, besides getting rid of some loony moonies?
*sigh* at least y'all aren't all idiots...
