| | | | | From the editor:  We have been telling you here at SoundCheck about the upcoming review of the "Something 4 Everyone" CD at the Gazette. Well we were bumped again. We were told by the editor that it will get in the paper but last week we were bumped by the Marshall Tucker Band coming to town. The nerve! We don't find that a good enough excuse but I guess we have little choice but to accept the excuses. They promise it will show up eventually. That's good enough for us. In the meantime, any of you out there that would like to submit your reviews of the CD are encouraged to do so. (mom?) The reviews will be published in the next edition and we will actually come through on our promise! Seriously speaking: Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those victims and their families that were impacted by hurricane Charley. Thanks for your few minutes of support each week!

(Sort of), (yeah, maybe not so much), (kinda of in our dreams)... With the threat of terrorism so high is it really worth it to host a political convention? Last week we told you how we are paying for the party set at the conventions ( I believe Mike confirmed it was 130 million), and with the numbers in from Boston's convention, is all the hassle worth it? There is too much political grandstanding already through everyday media if you want to watch it. So will this be the last year anyone volunteers to host? Check out this Olympic event. Pretty funny stuff... 
Original music scene & not so original... Boycott the boss??? More musicians weigh in on the presidential campaign... I'm not sure you should quit before you are actually known in the music industry... The Gazette will publish the review of the "Something 4 Everyone" CD, eventually, sometime, in the future (we'll believe it when we see it!!). We will publish only the positive comments (assuming there is some positive comments) in there entirety in the edition following the publication.
Common sense? Will these politicians ever learn? First it was Bill Clinton closing down Logan Airport to get a quick haircut on the tarmac. Now, John Kerry fly's his hairdresser across the country for a touchup. At least he didn't delay any flights. I guess that's progress... Did you know? Submitted by Aunt Dot. She has some excellent retirement advice!! Although I think most of our family and friends are on this plan already!!!

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00
worth of Beer one year ago,
drank all the beer,
then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND,
you would have had
$214.00.

Based on the above,
current investment advice is to
drink heavily and
recycle.
It's called the 401-Keg Plan
Fact, fiction, or funny    News from the campaign trail: SoundCheck has learned that during the Kerry campaign swing through Kansas last week, the train they were traveling on was pulled over by Sgt Colepepper at the junction of Main St., in the small town of Podunk, Kansas. John Kerry was asked by Sgt. Colepepper to take a sobriety test. It was unclear as to why he was asked to do the sobriety test, but unnamed witnesses said that they had, "observed Kerry in the Conductor's seat in the train". It is still not clear whether Kerry has a Conductor's license or whether he was drinking at the time. The Bush campaign has released a statement suggesting, "it may be in the country's best interest to launch a congressional investigation" into the matter. Kerry was later seen testing new ways to get around on the campaign trail. The first option was windsurfing, but this could limit the campaign to coastal communities and Great Lake states for the rest of the campaign. Option 2, was flying. The Kerry campaign spokesman was "worried about the outfit his candidate would have to wear". But he did suggest, " it could be helpful in California". When the President was asked about the flying, he said, "can people fly now?", and went on to say even if they could, " not in that outfit". SoundCheck will be following this story closely. Sgt. Colepepper would not confirm or deny he was a Republican. Submitted by my wonderful Aunt Dot!! Thanks!John Kerry was going to visit the Catholic National Cathedral outside Washington as part of his campaign. Kerry's campaign manager made a visit to the Cardinal and said to him, "We've been getting a lot of bad publicity among Catholics because of Kerry's position on abortion and the like. We'd gladly make a contribution to the church of $100,000 if during your sermon you'd say John Kerry is a saint." The Cardinal thinks it over for a moment and agrees to do it.
Kerry shows up, and as the Mass progresses the Cardinal begins his homily. "John Kerry is petty, a self absorbed hypocrite and a nit-wit. He is a liar, a cheat, and a thief. He is the worst example of a Catholic I've ever personally known. But compared to Ted Kennedy, John Kerry is a saint You have to check out this link to JibJab.com! A great suggestion from my Uncle Richie! Christmas in August!!! They have some hysterical cartoons!
