The Tuesday that defied all myths..

Has anyone ever heard of Black Uhuru? They're a reggae group, and they sing a nice ditty called "Mondays". It goes kind of like this.. "One day I don't enjoy... is a Mondayyy". Well, if I were Black Uhuru I would've written the song about Tuesdays. Tuesday is a day I most definitely do not enjoy. French and Math on Tuesdays.. no Gym or Film.. nothing to do in the evening, that sort of thing. Buuut. Lately my Tuesdays have been getting better and better. Next Tuesday, I'm skipping a day of school to run one race at the track meet, and hang around for the rest of the time. Today I got kicked out of math for being "sassy" and spent the entire time drawing patterns with sharpie on a piece of paper. Now, in my view that's a good thing. Mainly because of the absence of maths. Now, another great thing about today is the rain. It is currently raining outside my window, which makes everything look grey and green and drippy. A wonderful thing for someone who lives in a cold-and-dry-as-hell climate. The most exciting thing about Tuesday was probably getting my email read on "The Hour". Now, I admit to have an ounce too many blogs right now on The Hour, but I couldn't miss a brief mention of the show. Or perhaps a paragraph. A little paragraph..

(the little paragraph)
So, I recently had a blog beautifully entitled "Why I wouldn't be caught dead getting shoved into that Panel Van or having my email read on The Hour". It was mainly about.. why I wouldn't be caught dead getting shoved into that Panel Van or having my email read on The Hour. So, I got a very encouraging reply from Barbara, which made me think about having a go at sending an email. So after hearing about Neil Young's "Let's Impeach the President" song, I thought I came up with an adequate reply. And Strombo read it!! I was very happy about this, and ran upstairs to my father, blathering about it (although he probably couldn't understand). Anyways;; I was extremely ecstatic about this (you should've seen me). But I do feel the need to explain the email in greater depth.
(wasn't it cute?)

Now, I would really love to "impeach that cat", almost as much as Neil Young does. But pessimistic (and possibly realistically) I don't think anything would happen to send Dubyah out of office. George Bush is definitely not Nixon-ly scandalous. There are so many people who believe every single word that comes out of his mouth, therefore they have reasoning not to believe the evidence against him. These are the people who voted for him. George Bush's deception is much more subtle in my belief, even after the evidence has been presented. There is nothing obvious enough to scream out "Impeach him". Although I am not saying I agree with what he has done, and I am definitely not taking it lightly. There are too many powerful conservatives in America that this would have to pass through, which to me makes impeachment seem out of the question. Never less, I owe it to Neil Young for singing about what he believes in, and perhaps opening some eyes to the injustice of George W. Bush.

Well, now it's sunny and raining, which is just adding to the greatness of this Tuesday.

merci beaucoup bon soir.

Neil Young's "Living with War" is now on sale at most music stores.

Good on You! You did it. I heard him read it. Did you tape it?
I agree with you, so did he.
I was so suprised when he read my letter, I only taped that part at the 11pm broadcastor was it 2am? I played it for my 17 year old niece and all she could say was how 'hot' George Stroumboulopoulos is. Well yeah, he is hot.

Barbara said...

I put your blog on my links. Other Hour fans may drop in to say hi.

Barbara Bruederlin said...

That was a grand letter you wrote too, Hilary. I know it's been said before, but I wish someone would just give Dubya a bj so they could impeach him.

I was loving the rain on Tuesday too.

Barbara said...

Oh Barbara B. I don't think there is a woman out there who would wanna do that to 'dubya' not even to save the world. *shudders*
Clinton is another story.
I should shut up now.
Congrats Hilary, You got a link in The Hour now!

hilary m. said...

thanks barbara(s)!
and yes, I did tape it!
or well.. my dad insisted on taping it. hehe.

and you're right barbara b., I would love if something deliciously scandalous happened to Dubyah..

thank you very much for the insight sylvan, I do think that there are many obvious things that the bush administration should be held accountable for, and I find it horribly undemocratic that people haven't seriously considered Bush's actions worthy of impeachment, especially compared to Clinton. I really hope eyes will begin to open regarding this.

as for the Hour it is a self described "irreverent, 'round-the-world, mile-a-minute look at news and current affairs that's actually fun to watch" it's hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos, a well-known Canadian pop culture "icon". You can catch it in Canada on CBC Newsworld at 6:00PM (Mountain Time). the website is..http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/

why thankyou laura.

seems like all I'm getting a lot nice compliments.

I can't wait until someone disagrees!

Barbara Bruederlin said...

Well, I don't have a disagreement with you Hilary, just a point of clarification for Barbara W on her statement: "I don't think there is a woman out there who would wanna do that to 'dubya' not even to save the world."

Who said it had to be a woman?

Surely there are some brave men out there who are willing to take one for the good of the world.

hilary m. said...

if there are any willing men out there I will personally buy them a drink.

and give them a ceramic orange and white cat. slightly aged. small hole patched with (orange) bandaids on the right leg. and perhaps a laminated poster that says "MUSIC, Across the Continent" from my last social assignment.

Barbara said...

Rolling on the floor!! You have a point Barbara B and Hilary M.

Alana Elliott said...

Hey there Hilary! I first noticed the link to your site on The Hour's website, and upon reading a discussion between "The Barbaras" it was apparent I needed to come here to check out a good read. I'm loving the blog, and kudos for having George read your email! You and Barbara are making me jealous! :P

Anyways, if you don't mind, I'm going to post your site link on my blog. Later!

Hmmm, must re-watch CBC News: The Hour. :D
I've been PVR'ing it all the time. I hope I still have the Easter Monday edition of The Hour.
Just leaving a comment. :)

hilary m. said...

thanks alana!
lenny, I still think I can remember waaay back when your email got read.

Unknown said...

I had a previous e-mail read? o_O Not, that I remember of. :)

hilary m. said...

haha, when I said waaay back I was exaggerating a little. it was more like a couple weeks ago. ^^.

hilary m. said...

silly hilary.

hilary m. said...

Well, you are right in that what Bush has done is worthy of impeachment.

I didn't mean to say that he hasn't done anything atrocious or terribly irresponsible. I just meant to say, that many Americans don't know to believe the incredible evidence against him. It's subtle because the Bush administration will always have some kind of bullshit rational for what they have done, and some people will be ignorant enough to believe it. Why else would've he won 2 elections in a row? Impeachment is definitely not undeserved, but I believe that there isn't a big possibility.

Thanks for the feedback though, you make a valuable point. And I'm sorry if you see me as uneducated, after all, I'm only a teenager.

hilary m. said...

thankyou for the recommendations.

you're right about the corporate-owned media. It worries me to watch fox news, or CNN and see how they cover politics.
