I agree with the first thought. You lost me on the second. 

I like Eddie Vedder's voice on a few songs. The rest of the time he sounds like he should stick to sea chanteys.  

I LOVE Eddie's voice!

Love this ....

decent song, but not the best from the album. I'm a fan of Love Boat Captain, and if you wish to extend the political commentary, Bushleaguer would add fuel to the fire with the quote..."Drilling for fear, makes the job simple...Born on third, thinks he got a triple".

a great song from an underrated album. 

When the album came out, I read a review that suggested that Eddie's lyric in this song

"I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in between is mine
I am mine"

was evidence of how self-centered he was.  I wondered, what album are you listening to?

PEARL JAM ARE NOT GREAT...

BUT CAN BE!!!

In the future, we will simply not allow people to vote Republican.  Our dear Democratic party leaders will choose a candidate, and we will all be given the opportunity to vote for him, arms linked in solidarity as we march into the glorious future.

Yes, this song is good for the ears...

Just a great song.

Favorite Pearl Jam tune!

It sure does.  The GOP wants to spend and spend but not pay for anything.  They howl about cutting taxes to zero in the same speeches in which they pound their fists and demand for spending an additional trillion dollars on the military.  Ask for an explanation for this from a Republican and you'll get boilerplate on affirmative action and terrorism.  A coherent explanation from a Republic is about as rare as the unicorn.

People, you're missing the point. It doesn't matter who is in the oval office because Americans (and I AM one) are too short-sighted to plan for the future. We are strictly reactionary in this country. Always have been, always will be. The biggest crisis to hit our civilization is the energy crisis and it just snuck up on us without a word from anyone in power and now the proverbial shit is hitting the virtual fan.

Americans are going to have to get used to the idea that we are not nearly as rich and powerful as we think we are.

We are about to be humbled in a big way.

BTW, great song by Pearl Jam. 8

Let's see, there's The Nation, The National Review, or The New Republic.  But National Republic is a humorous tuatology though. Very funny.

North Am-Home of the Last of the Rugged Individualists, you are so full of it.  The worst Presidents of the last 30 years in order
are:

#1 Reagan
#2 Bush Jr.
#3 Nixon

Bush Jr. had a surplus when he got in, and left us with a $%^& mess, 4.1 trillion dollars his presidency cost us.  Reagan left us with
8 years of recession, remember supply side ecomonics, that worked really well.  Nixon had to resign from office because he broke the
law.  I just don't get it how working people vote for Republican's, I understand why rich people do, but working people?  Reagan revolution what a joke, just like his acting career.

Guys, this isn't the National Republic. Take it someplace else.

Sick-to-hell-of-politics.

You obviously haven't been reading the papers.  Bush's deficit for this year alone is already well north of a trillion.

Most of the $6 trillion in debt that Dubya ran up was in a good economy.  If you studied Economics 20 you would have learned, as Dubya now is, that that is just plain stupid.

So bring on yer comments —- at least the Obama presidency looks like it will be defensible.

And as for all of the obfuscation about blue dogs and neocons, who cares?  They're going to spend a long time in the wilderness now thanks to eight years of Dubya, and it just couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys.

Hardly lattes for them, then ... more like hemlock.

Addendum: If you've decided I'm a latte drinking pinko you'd be wrong, but that's the way it sometimes plays out with ideological hardheads.   Try The Economist, which since 1843 has been regarded as one of the best sources of free market oriented, objective journalism on earth.  The word "disaster' is quite prominent when it comes to describing your boy:

Obama:  $1.2 Trillion deficit (makes bush look small), thank you  to "the government can spend money like no body's business guys"

Future Deficits:  Obama himself are saying it will be over $1 Trillion per year for possibly years to come, thank you to the "big government guys"

Credit for Recession:  most pundits blame Bush but also say that come summer of 2009 it will belong to Obama

Credit for Cause of Recession:  Loosey-Goosey lending policy started under Carter and continued under Clinton, Dodd and Barney Frank.  Even Bill got on TV and said that the democrats deserved more blame than anyone since they had pushed the growth of Fannie and Freddie and had gotten a little to ambitious with the liberalized lending standards.

I could go on forever but suffice it to say once again,  the job is difficult, Bush wasn't the best nor the worst, he's just the target until the 20th of this month, then Obama and Biden will be the targets and I for one will enjoy making comments to guys like you who like to foam like a rabid doggy.

PS:  The term NeoCon is one I really like to see thrown around since most pundits hold the opinion that the NeoCons were/are actually rehabilitated Blue Dog Democrats who crossed the fence during the Reagan revolution and who are now expected for the most part to cross back over and become ..... once again ..... conservative Blue Dogs Democrats.

God I love the irony.

Now lets all sit back and sip our latte's.
