leonardo has something to say?



it's still pretty rare when a mainstream holywood actor (today's most visible members of the ruling class once populated by the likes of the great pamphleteers and orators like jefferson, paine, fraklin, et cetera) steps up and does something like this. say what you will of mr dicaprio's "acting" (*ahem* titanic *ahem*), but his politics are spot on. ok... ok... the amerocentric visual at the end is a bit much, but, considering our dispropotionate use of resources, perhaps it was intentional.

anyhow... watch it. share it. and take it to heart.

it's only two minutes or so long. and very well done (finally the movement is catching some media savvy!)

word.

yeah, i'm a douche... what of it?



none of you posted, either, bitches.

i've been listening to a shit-ton of the heartless bastards' all this time lately. it's really quite good. reminds me a bit of p j harvey, with a dash of aimee mann and neko case, add some extra pop to it and a little more rock and you've got.

i think i might be listening to it because i'm a little sad and a little angry these days, and the music complements those mood pretty well. but with a happier note, somehow.

you should go download it. pronto pronto.
