Well said comrade!

Although I already have the utmost respect for Ted Leo, today my adoration for him grew immensely. I think this news blurb on his website has made my entire week. I felt until recently that few people seemed to share my preconception that the movie Across the Universe is in every way atrocious. How can people not see that? And if you don't... in accordance with Ted Leo... YOU ARE DEAD TO ME.

This, my friends isn't even what has me all revved up. No no no, what has really got me going is what he has to say about Bono. Anyone who knows me personally and knows me well is undoubtedly aware of my boundless detestation for Bono, and I whole heartedly agree that there is a special place for him in the hell that I, too, wish existed. I won't linger too long on my feelings towards this man, but just to give you an idea a friend has a stick figure diagram that I drew of my plan to crush Bono's spirit on their refrigerator.

Anyway, what I intend to accomplish on this post is to give kudos to Ted Leo. Thank you for saying exactly what I was thinking and exactly what needed to be said. I think he's a real stand up guy and I'm afraid if you don't agree, you also are dead to me. So here's to you, Sir! Keep on fighting the good fight!
