I ordered it in December, through amaazon. It arrived yesterday.
She Wants Revenge
they are so good I haven't even been able to get through the album. Oh yes, TEAR YOU APART is what this woman wants from a lover. I suspect a lot of other women gets scorchy over that song too.
"these things", "spend the night" lots of good music here. Get it and get happy!

I didn’t watch the president’s rah-rah continue the war speech tonight. I cannot bear his arrogance which is nothing but undeserved superiority. Him and his pompous cronies making history, making money on the blood of the poor and lower middle class sons and daughters.
I tell myself it is ignorance ( not ) that lead a misplaced society to re-elect a savage president. I am ashamed to be an American.
There was never any attempt of a discussion to solve this in the first place. Shock and Awe. Bring out the fireworks.
There has been no attempt to institute a draft. Those of you on your money-tuffets might have be instructed to offer up your sons and daughters. That might have caused some war resistance. Bush didn’t want that. He hides in the shadows while his minion uses the disenfranchised over and over in multiple tours of duty.
And most Americans don’t care.
Then you have people like the bizillionaire Bill Gates setting up plans to use his money-pockets to help the AIDS victims in Africa. On the surface this seems most honorable. The truth is this: Instead of helping the disenfranchised in this country, Bush gave megadollars to the filthy rich. With money comes guilt(and responsibility) so to ease the guilt some of the rich make splashy announcements that they will help the poor. Oddly it is usually always the poor in some exotic nation. (Not that they don’t need help. It’s just that it is more chi-chi.)
Look beyond the great cities of America and you will see a devastated people with less than those of the coddled illegal aliens. Oh, but wait, it is so honorable to help illegals than it is to help your own.
All of this reminds me of a woman that bought some of my paintings. She bought a new car, decided she didn’t like it, so took it back the next week and bought another. She bought other expensive items and wearied of them within a short time. She gave her daughters socks to Goodwill (after all they would only wear them once.) She bought $500 panties. To ease her guilt once a year she would ask her friends for clothing donations and she would hire a van to take the bundles to Appalachia. That dissolved her guilt at being so wasteful, of having too much. She gave the crumbs to the poor.
We are not an honorable society otherwise we would never ever choose war unless there was no other option. To use war as a first line of defense is utterly unimaginable.
Arrogance is always destructive.
