[kj] OT: Stop this man - Bush !

[Brendan]

Yeah I'm making up for when I go on holiday shortly, getting in my quota
beforehand...

I tend to read almost every post and follow almost every link, bit of a
list geek really. Which reminds me, whoever posted that Primal link the
other day, that was fucking brilliant.

I've learned quite a lot from the list, mostly about music but I enjoy
these philosophical and political debates as well.
