I agree with you. Many of us agree with you. But, for now, or at least until November, please STFU!!!!
I'm not sure if its the Electronica - Rn'B - Janet falsetto - new sound of pop - reminds me of Miguel Migs - crossover appeal. Or the fact that its the best choreographed video that I've seen in '08. Or the fact that its the coolest use of choreographed cinematography to dance choreography that I've seen since Ciara in '06. But all I know is that this video rocks. Check out the transition from 1:59 to 3:03 - Janet smiling into the camera - into full out killer dance routine - into 12 person body pump (while camera is spinning across the room) - into another killer choreographed set. All in one shot!

- Dad and his best friend Pancho brought home a killer 2lb sockeye. Check out that color!
- They also brought some fresh scallops, which I seared and then whipped up with a herb/butter/wine sauce.
- Pan seared/oven finished sockeye, bay scallops with butter/wine/herb sauce and some cheap wine.
- Don't ask why I put beans on this plate - I was craving baked beans! I had the BBQ going so I did the soy glazed marinade on the salmon, a Finadene style marinade on the skirt steak, grilled asparagus and one of my new favorite simple dishes - wilted spinach. No carbs baby!
If you ask my friends and family - they'll tell you - I fight bullshit emails. Don't send me none of those religious, barack's a muslim, send this disturbing photo of a DUI car accident to 10 friends or fry in hell kinda emails. I don't subscribe to that, so don't send 'em! Lucky for me Gmail does a good job of filtering out the Nigerian email scammers, but if they did get into my inbox, I tell you - I'd have a field day. Anyhow, the latest email... Sent in good nature, from a good friend. A smart person, with a good heart and someone who generally shares the same world views as I.
But the off part - this person sent out a "Schpeal" about the increase in higher gas prices. The conflict - this person works for Chevron. The email had an attachment, which I assume is a flyer of sorts, some type of PR "sign of the times" kind of document, to make it seem like Chevron is actually, in reality - an environmentally conscious, not-for profit gas org. Right. I've snaged content from the Chevron PR document and below that I've copy'n'pasted my email response to my friend.
Response email: This is, of course, what Chevron thinks. Chevron, being a company that has a huge stake in profiting from the higher gas prices. Not to mention the very fact that being an oil/gas company in and of itself is contrary to anything that is environmentally sound. Sure, gas is a necessity and reality of every day life. But should we really trust Chevron to give us a schpeal on rising gas prices? Wouldn't that kind of be like trusting a gun company to explain why there is an increase inner-city killings. Perhaps its not necessarily the gun companies fault - rather, a byproduct of "increased world violence". Do you see the irony?
I wouldn't trust a gas company to tell me about the worlds increased gas prices - which they stem to profit from, as much as I would trust Dick Cheney to tell me about the need for War tax cuts - which he stems to profit from Halliburton, as much as I would trust Puff Daddy telling me to buy Danity Kane's album of the year - in stores now. Its simple conflict of interest.
Yadadamean?
Why am I buggin out about your email? Well - I wrote about this very topic a couple of months ago: http://bayani.vox.com/library/post/running-on-used-vegetable-oil.html
Really, there are bigger issues at hand, that I think your Chevron schpeal FAILS to mention, some of which include - their earned profit margin since the gas hike, the dependency to foreign oil and importantly, the war.
But hey, it was kinda cute that they tried to tell me to drive the speed limit to save gas energy... They make billions, I drive slow, sounds like they got it figured out.
