how would i rank gabriel's records, up to 2002 (which is the last one i know well)?

his discography is intrepid. staggering, even.

1. selling england by the pound (1973)

2. nursery cryme (1971)

3. long walk home (2002)

4. lamb lies down on broadway (1974)

5. passion (1989)

6. III (1980)

7. trespass (1970)

8. IV (1982)

============================= records above this line are almost flawless

9. up (2002)

10. ovo (2000)

11. foxtrot (1972)

12. so (1986)

13. us (1992)

14. birdy (1985)

============================= records above this line are merely extremely good

15. I (1977)

16. II (1978)

17. from genesis to revelation (1969)

============================= the last three are just pretty good, but most artists operating for 60 years would kill to have car and scratch be their worst records.

i want chandra arya to run as an independent and to win.

it makes absolutely no economic sense whatsoever to cut income taxes when you've got a brutal trade war in front of you, and you're raising inflationary import taxes (a regressive consumption tax hike) and are dealing with slashes in revenue due to an imminent recession. you're going to end up with a structural deficit and be unable to pay for the social services required by the trade war.

it's the most asinine, sophomoric, amateur tax policy imaginable.

it's something i'd expect from the conservatives.

i'm not voting against my self-interest, and income tax cuts are the last thing we need right now.

as far as i'm concerned, his credibility as an economist is out the fucking window. he's just another dumb right-wing populist with naive ideas about markets that is trying to pull one over on us.

have we got a head of lettuce out for carney?

an increase in consumption taxes and decrease in income taxes is an extremely regressive and negative change to the tax code that negatively affects me and i strongly object to and i would certainly not vote for.

in the upcoming canadian election, you're allowed to vote for prime minister stephen harper.

if you don't like that, you can vote for opposition leader stephen harper, instead.

and if you don't like that, you can always vote for stephen harper, as a protest vote.

please vote green or not at all.

when i first moved to windsor, it felt like i moved to some twilight zone barrhaven.

like, there's no mall downtown. it's the weirdest thing; you have to leave downtown to go shopping. it's a giant, sprawling suburb without a city centre to anchor it.

the reason is that the city is detroit.

“Why would we want to subsidize economic development in the United States when their president is assaulting our communities? We receive almost no benefit in return,” Dilkens said last month.

because if i can't get to detroit on a city bus, i don't want to live in your boring as fuck city at all, and i'm going to move to somewhere where i can get to toronto.

windsor is a suburb of a detroit. it's sole selling point as a place to live is access to the big city. without detroit, windsor is just a boring small city in the middle of nowhere. there are no cultural events here, no concerts, etc. it's a totally dead, completely boring place to live, and dilbert here just wants to make it even more boring.

windsor is more boring than ottawa, even.

that said, the bridge will open soon, and i can just ride my bike over, anyways.
