This is all kinds of fucked up!

I have been out of town on tour with the Buddy System and haven’t been able to find time to blog but I just got an email about the arrests of journalists at the Republican Convention and I had to post it here:

This is America. We don’t jail journalists here.

Jailing journalists is unacceptable in a democracy. But that’s exactly what is happening at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn.

Award winning journalist and host of “Democracy Now” Amy Goodman was arrested by St. Paul police while covering a protest outside the Republican National Convention. Though clearly identified as press, Goodman was charged with “obstruction of a legal process and interference with a ‘peace officer.’” Two of her producers were arrested for “suspicion of felony riot.”

This video is upsetting, but you deserve to know what’s really going on.

Goodman and her producers were released last night. (An AP photographer was also arrested and released). But the charges are still pending.

This story has been virtually ignored by the mainstream press. The cable channels are providing extensive coverage of events related to the Republican National Convention, but there has been a virtual news blackout on the arrest of Amy Goodman and the Democracy Now team.

Americans deserve to know that journalists are being jailed for trying to do their jobs. E-mail CNN President Jonathan Klein and NBC News President Steve Capus today (NBC News controls MSNBC) to demand coverage of this brutally important story.”

So yeah, not that I’m surprised considering it was at a fascist convention but what the FUCK?!

RED CHINA ALERT!! The Giant Birds are Coming!!!

As some of you know I spend a few hours a day designing tombstones and catalogs full of tombstones… Today while working on our new catalog I was editing a photo and noticed the scariest monument I have ever seen in the background.

Cropped for your pleasure:

It looks like some kind of evil Nazi propaganda statue for a fascist army of giant birds!

Keep in mind that our monuments are made in China and as such, this statue is in a warehouse somewhere in the Chinese mainland… someone call Lou Dobbs, I think the Reds might finally be ready for world domination!

And we thought the bird flu was the scariest avian threat coming from Asia.

We are fucked.

Death Cab for Cutie’s Chris Caught in Canadian Calamity!

For years I’ve been hearing people warn that Death Cab for Cutie’s music poses a serious risk to anyone that hears it. It seems like Homeland Security finally agrees. Earlier this week, a hard drive containing the master tracks for Death Cab guitarist Chris Walla’s solo album was confiscated at the Canadian border, and for once it wasn’t those damn Mounties.

Walla acknowledges that the songs on his forthcoming album are politically-charged, but there’s no word on whether this is why Homeland Security is holding the hard drive indefinitely. There’s also no word on how long before Walla will get it back or at least receive notification that it was detonated by a bomb squad. Basically there’s no word on a lot of things.

Walla has unmastered tracks still on tape, and will use these to complete his album for a January release.

Ben Gibbard is still at large.
