Outrage Manufacturing, Inc.

hang on, folks, I don’t think Green tweeted the part about being injured. That seems tagged on. He wrote that he can’t believe she used this vote to make her comeback, and this odious Bob Brigham guy added the nasty comment.
At least I think that’s what happened. I checked out Green’s page and the injury comment isn’t there.

that’s just plain reprehensible. Who is this guy, anyway?

b’lieve you me, where ferrets are concerned, the fart is deadlier than the fang.

No, that’s a tag that says “Made in China”. Like all uber patriots, Baggers do their shopping at Wal-mart.

It seems to me that this is The Deal that Says “Splunge!” Remember that Monty Python skit where the Texas movie producer gets a bunch of screenwriters in a room and badgers them all until they are reduced to hiding under the table? The Texas producer actually reminds me a lot of the Tea Baggers. But I digress.

Terry Jones is so terrified of getting axed on the spot he shouts out “Splunge”, and then explains that it means that the idea proposed by the producer might be a terrific idea, but possibly not, and he’s not being a yes-man. Quite a word, splunge! Anyway, saves his neck.

So this deal seems to do that. It saves everybody’s neck, it can and must be leveraged to show just what a toxic element the Tea Bagger caucus is, AND it has something for everybody to like about it, which means it also has something for everybody to HATE about it. Except the Bagger Caucus, of course, because they are insane.

What’s more, it’s so confusing you can pretty much spin it any old damn way you want.

Splunge!

Well, lurker or no, they got a ferret fart coming their way!

Somebody thumbed this down? WTF? Rosie the Ferret farts in your general direction, whoever you are.

My Dinner with the National Debt

I charge by the pen stroke. That’s why I put all those little squiggles in there!

This is a great piece, Funky! I think it’s just getting overlooked right now because of all the sputtering we’re doing on the main threads.

Weekend Music Thread – The Sky’s the Limit

contains the fantastic line,
“When they spit do you wipe the floor, and pray that they don’t spit no more? Or wise up?”
Very timely.

Sorry, thumbed down by mistake.
I think I prefer the studio version, though. I like Wakeman’s intro, but without it, that blistering sound just comes out of NOWHERE. It’s like your hearing the soundtrack to the Big Bang.

Because of their name, anything by this band counts, I guess. So I pick this one.
Crack The Sky, “Nuclear Apathy”

The finale of this song is a masterpiece. One of the all time great guitar solos!

From Japan’s “Carole King”
It’s about a soul of one who has passed on being a “hikouki gumo”, the wisp left by an airplane.

Great Japanese Song! It’s about a little boy who builds his own planetarium.

The Fraud That Is Bill Maher

I very much dislike Maher, but I think this is still a case of a cigar being a cigar, and no ulterior motives need to be looked for or assumed about him. People are unique and complex. We are capable of changing our minds and positions, and holding some positions that tilt either to the left or right of our general stance. The whole business of “conservative”, “progressive”, and garnering either of those with the certification of “true” is meaningless, imo. Or almost meaningless, anyway. Bill Maher is who he is, end of story. And like you, I find very little to like or admire about him.
