Why would Cheney resign? My Theory

So its starting to look like the leaky Plamegate fiasco might end in some indictments. They are even starting to mention that Cheney could possibly be indicted or he might resign. The Republicans would probably love it if they could clear Cheney out now, face it the guy does not have a chance of being president in 2008 (too many people hate him, don't trust him, and/or think he is about to drop dead). So why not get someone new into that Vice-President position to make them look presidential---maybe someone that couldn't normally get elected, (i.e., Condoleeza Rice). They would have to replace Cheney before the 2006 elections so that the Democrats couldn't interfere with the approval process.

Yes, I'm probably headed toward the deep end of conspiracy thinking....but frankly nothing much surprises me about Bush and his right wing cronies.

25 Most Influential Music Artists of the Last 25 Years

CMJ posted a pretty good list of bands for an old guy like me. I was a college radio DJ from 1986 to 1991 for KUMM. I kid you not about the radio station name, our unofficial slogan was "the only station that puts KUMM in your ear. Many of these bands on CMJ's list formed the core of my shows.

Reviewing CMJ's list I'm wondering why The Cure is missing. They were definitely one of the most influential college/alternative band of that time period. Other possible bands that should have been included are: Camper Van Beethoven, Jesus and Mary Chain, Love and Rockets, Stone Roses, B-52's, Bahaus, INXS, James, Psychadelic Furs, Liz Phair, Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoh, Lemonheads, or Yo La Tengo. Some of these are personal favorites, while others are just holes I see in the list. Who do you think is missing?
