More Ironic Than Alanis Morissette On Your Wedding Day
Or, "This Means We’re Winning…Right?" Part 2.
Like me, you were probably wondering what the "We will not be silent" message on Raed Jarrar's t-shirt (see previous post) referred to.
From Artists Against The War (unnecessary warning: rampaging liberalism after the jump):
"We Will Not Be Silent" is a statement attributed to a student-resistance movement in Nazi Germany called The White Rose. It is a statement of purpose, intended to inspire acts of resistance and dissent against a corrupt government that abuses its power, and abandons the rule of law.
That's what we in the biz call irony.
Some commenters/emailers mentioned challenging TSA on allowable dress code. Well…no idea of the cost, or any other details, but you can order your own "We Will Not Be Silent" (in both Arabic and English) t-shirt by sending an email to:
wewillnotbesilent at gmail dot com.
And when TSA pulls you into that little white room, tell then anybody but me sent you.

Hey sit down and listen and they’ll tell you when you’re wrong.
Eradicate but vindicate as “progress” creeps along.

Syntax pickin’ up the lyrical slack. C’mon Amber, where’s my lyric teasers?

Well for some reason my original title didn’t show up in its entirety, so I don’t know what that was all about. Fixed now, and because I’m oh-so-clever, you get the lyrics in the title today.
As far a future lyrics teasers go… (ala Bill Lumbergh) Yeahhhhhh…we’ve made a few changes around here, and ummmmm…
So here’s the deal. After writing a post, I then have to figure out a lyric to go along with the post, and because I am lame and can’t keep the lyrics to a zillion songs in my head, it takes me anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 minutes or longer to find the right lyric. That’s problematic because I have the attention span of something with a very short attention span.
Also, because of the way I’ve chosen to structure the front page (title only with teaser), the lyrics don’t really do much to reveal the true nature of the post. So, for instance, when I’m getting all liberal tree-hugger, BugHunter has no indication of what he’s getting himself into until he actually clicks the link. And being a liberal tree-hugger, it makes me want to cry when I think of Bughunter being surprised like that.
Actually, I’m still trying to figure out what to do with the front page. I don’t like posting the entire story on the front, and I don’t like posting just a fragment. God I’m so high maintenance.
Syntax, you are hereby the designated lyrics poster.

Perhaps you think you're being treated unfairly? It would be unfortunate if I had to leave a garrison…of Google Ads.
This is all your fault, by the way. I gave you Blog Theater Playhouse, but nooooo that wasn't good enough. Baby why you gotta make me hit you all the time?
