What a great review for this very uninformed but potentially interested fan. Now I'll probably buy their new album.

Thanks.

Uhhh Nick, what's the point of have a parking garage open only to be instantly at capacity?

Is the garage half full, or built to capacity for tomorrow?

I'm not sure if your point is valid, but a link to the relevant sources would frame your complaint better.

That Wikipedia entry, by the way, details Collen Graffy, as a heartless Bush apologist who uttered this infamous construction in response to suicide deaths of Guantanamo prisoners:

"Taking their own lives was not necessary, but it certainly is a good P.R. move," Graffy said.

And further elaborated on these remarks with: "It does sound like this is part of a strategy--in that they don't value their own lives, and they certainly don't value ours; and they use suicide bombings as a tactic." (From the BBC Newshour).
