Oh NOOOOOO!! Check this out:
Head leaves the band Korn because Jesus asks him to!

Holy crap, what will we do now? Now we're down to just "Munky!!" I think the world may end. But seriously, how embarassing for Korn, eh? Not only did they have to endure their bass player's solo offering "Fieldy's Dreams," (and the band's entire recorded career,) but now one of their own is leaving the fold to hang with the Promise Keepers crowd.

What a weasel this guy is. What's wrong with the old "artistic differences" explanation? Don't you owe the guys in the band that much, instead of using your resignation as a springboard for a future opening slot for John Tesh? Shame on you, shithead. Be sure to take your 7 string with you, dork.

speaking of gay hookers posing as journalists, what's crawled up matt drudge's poop shoot?

matt "i said it was rumor" drudge seemed intent on bringing down chris rock last week, questioning his ability to host the oscars. matt, who the hell cares?

aparently drudge was miffed about rock's comments about only gay men watching the oscars. which isn't that far from the truth. i mean, no straight people i know give a crap about watching the oscars. they can all wait for the newspaper the next day to find out what happened. and then the day after that, they forget about it.

but, no doubt about it, there are plenty of gays i've run into who can't wait for oscar night. it's like their super bowl, which is perfectly fine. if they get their rocks off over the oscars, god bless them. life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, man. go for it!

but for some reason, it rubbed drudge the wrong way. perhaps mr. rock struck a nerve, eh matt? i mean, who else would wear that silly get-up you like to parade around in - except a gay dude? won't you please just come out of the closet for christ's sake!

Oh hey, I nearly forgot, we've taken a last minute show this Friday at Silvies, located at 1902 W. Irving Park Road. If you've got a free evening, why not stop by and see us? It should rule, and we have a couple of new songs to play for you! The voice goes silent.

How much more can we take here at Knifeofsimpson? Our patron saint Hunter S.? I'm simply not buying that he gunned himself down. I'm taking a stand. There's way more to this story than meets the eye. The going has most certainly gotten weird. I've been a professional weirdo for a while now. Now I'm going to the pro-bowl. God bless you Hunter S.

Man, this "Jeff Gannon" thing is really amusing--a gay hooker posing as a journalist gets to ask politically loaded questions to the President and his press secretary. I knew reporters had to suck lots of dicks to get the White House beat, but I never knew that was to be taken literally.

Of course, the gay prostitute angle will undoubtedly get the most attention from the press...that is, if the national media dares touch this embarrassing third rail at all. In these times of Armstrong Williams and the new PC--Patriotic Correctness--all journalists have all been Gannonized: they're all prostituting themselves in some way, whether they take the money up front, or bow to editorial pressures from above to kill stories potentially damaging to Bush.

If I were an honest journalist, I'd get pretty pissed that some guy with NO press experience and NO previous credentials was given access to the President and top-secret CIA information: the same information that disclosed the identity of Valerie Plame, an undercover CIA agent. I'd also be pissed that bloggers like John Aravosis at AmericaBlog--who helped break this story--are scooping me left and right. Come on, guys, get pissed, and get with the program! (By the way, you can read all about Gannon/Guckert here at Aravosis's AmericaBlog. WARNING--some of the photos are pretty gay.)

According to the man himself, "Jeff Gannon" is not his real name...James Guckert is, and that is the name on his White House press pass. So why did Scott, George, and the rest of the White House staff call him by his sex industry alias, "Jeff Gannon?" Come on, they must have had some, *ahem* "relationship" with him prior to his career as journeyman journalist. How could a guy with such a questionable background get so close to the President so easily--especially after he was denied the same degree of access on Capitol Hill? Surely the Secret Service would have noticed some "irregularities" with Guckert's background and rejected his request for press credentials; why, then, was he granted privileges few other journalists enjoy? Did the SS fall asleep at the switch? (NOT likely.) Was he blackmailing somebody, then? Bush must have been serious about pursuing that ManDate of his if he gave Gannon a papal dispensation from the SS screening!

Come on, Jeff, let us in on it!

We are pleased to announce a new hire here at Knife of Simpson. He lost his old job and now we're putting him on here. Please welcome, Jeff Gannon!

Submitted for your amusement: Here are some words and phrases I hope to never hear in rock and roll music ever again.

"Rock and Roll saved my soul...."
"This house is not a home..."
"I love you" followed by "I hate you"
"No!" followed by "Yeah!"
"Confusion"
"Wounds"
"Demons"
"Crying in the rain"
"Punishment"
"Mother Fucker"
"Wang"

I take that last one back. There should be way more songs featuring the word "Wang". Hey KoS guys, how about writing a song called "Wang Dynasty?"

Please post your list of forbidden words in the comments box, and I will post them. The voice goes silent.
