So in the spirit of ecuminical television, I had a brainstorm in what was an otherwise redundant meeting today. John Edward of Crossing Over and Aamer Haleem of Bands Reunited join forces for Bands Crossing Over.

INXS reunites with Michael Hutchence through the power of medium Edward and the persistant charm of Haleem. Edward channels Jam Master J while Haleem dodges bullets to sign up Run and DMC for a spooky night of racially insensitive frights. I'm in the wrong industry.

So, started visiting this new bar by my house recently with friends. They do Karaoke on Mondays. The bartender makes seriously strong drinks and cheaper than other bars.

Smashingly, I might add. Who would have thought that I would meet someone in the PNW who not only knows who Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, and F.A. Hayek are but have read them and like and agree with them. And can you say Scalia? Yes that Scalia, as in Antonin. Hooray for my dirty liberal friends that hook me up with virtuous conservative hotties.
