OMG Frist!!! (I am such a child!)

Is he Homer’s older brother?

Always. Trust. The. Shorter.™

It’s not the liberals who are threatening to out Graham. It’s the Teabaggers who dislike him because he had the temerity to agree with the Democrats on one or two “safe” issues.

Funny how these folks are just catching on to the fact that Graham may be teh ghey now that he disagrees with them…

“Manly teabagger.” I like that. I really like that.

because he had the temerity to agree with the Democrats on one or two “safe” issues.

What do you suppose Mr. Simpson’s safe word is?

Or, when the ball gag is in place, what is the hand signal?

Bueller?

Very Short Scene from Grahamnail & I:

Manly Teabagger: Ponce!

I clicked through. You can actually smell the flop sweat. It must be exhausting, failing that hard.

What do you suppose Mr. Simpson’s safe word is?

Tyranny.

From Mr. Non-Homer’s blog:

“Truth & Consequences – There is no Right and Left, only Right and Wrong

As a nation we have been asleep for years. Lulled by affluence and self-indulgent apathy, our collective awareness has grown dim. This has created an opening for our enemies, one that may ultimately prove fatal. This is the truth and what we do, or don’t do, will determine the consequences, for better or worse. It is time to decide.”

This here is one open-minded, considerate fellow.

I’m guessing his furry is a racoon.

What do you suppose Mr. Simpson’s safe word is?

“It is the most promising of their many, despicable, underhanded, self-serving plans to pack voter roles with reliable democrat voters, constitution, rule of law, and the will of the people be damned.”

I don’t think he understands the concept.

Or, when the ball gag is in place, what is the hand signal?

Dude. While I am happy to imagine this guy shutting the fuck up, I’d rather not imagine that.

As far as I’m concerned, Lindsey is reaping the whirlwind here. Other closeted-but-commonly-rumored-about GOP congresspeople (there are supposedly at least two in my state, and if you live there too, you probably know who I’m talking about) who might be tempted to moderate their rhetoric and chosen issues are probably the intended audience for this.

Also, it’s kind of amusing that Simpson’s headshot on the Examiner page is less flattering than the one here, for once.

Dear GOP:

By all means, continue purging all of your non-batshit members until you wingnut yourselves right out of the mainstream. I look forward to the day that your party is regarded as an isolated coven of kooks, like Scientology.

Best,
Stephen

Hoo boy! I took the cap’ns gig to look for fruit and found fruitcake. That is some funny shit. Really, I LedOL.

Lulled by affluence and self-indulgent apathy

Wow, so he’s saying that all those years of economic growth under Democratic presidents was BAD for the nation?

I mean, in reality, isn’t the truth of this matter the _exact opposite_ of what they’re fantasizing about? As usual?

Dude. While I am happy to imagine this guy shutting the fuck up, I’d rather not imagine that.

Me neither, to be honest. But I do wish that Mr. Non-Homer will feel the need to appear and defend himself.

All I want him to do is to deny it.

Lulled by affluence and self-indulgent apathy

Wow, so he’s saying that all those years of economic growth under Democratic presidents was BAD for the nation?

well, yeah – we got soft (VIR). When we are sleeping on moldy rags on the floor of a hovel, and picking through garbage for meals THEN we will develop the spine and fortitude of a strong, independent, correctly-voting people!

Wonder how many crap bills Crist will have to banhammer before Republicans suddenly start seeing through his orange facade?

I mean, in reality, isn’t the truth of this matter the _exact opposite_ of what they’re fantasizing about? As usual?

Absolutely. But he is pure, undiluted and immutable. He’s in a corner and there’s no way out. I want to poke him with sharp sticks. (Absolutely NOT a VPR).

Way back when, about 1950-something or so, being the ghey was a serious security risk to the integrity of the US government and way of life and future of this great nation and military might and moral fiber and on and on, for about fifteen or twenty years. It was right up there with being a commie pinko fellow traveller subversive, and fluoridated water supplies. Then some meathead sunnabitch revives this lunacy, again. Is this schmuck channeling Joe McCarthy or perhaps….Roy Cohn?

He’s in a corner and there’s no way out. I want to poke him with sharp sticks. (Absolutely NOT a VPR).

Goddammit, Looch, stop it! I have a very vivid imagination.

Is this schmuck channeling Joe McCarthy or perhaps….Roy Cohn?

Heh. J. Edgar Hoover. That’s where my money is.

Teh Gheys are leaking our atomic secrets to Gheyistan!

I mean, in reality, isn’t the truth of this matter the _exact opposite_ of what they’re fantasizing about? As usual?

Seriously, after reading this dude I wouldn’t be surprised* to discover Graham’s straight as a board. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

* OK, I would, but less so than before. It may turn out to be the only thing they’ve ever been right about.

WHOA.

We’s got a fagnit in Sou’ Ca’lina?

Wow. I didn’t think we allowed them in the state to begin with.

Seriously, after reading this dude I wouldn’t be surprised* to discover Graham’s straight as a board.

I have zero gaydar and I really don’t care about other people’s sex lives, so I usually don’t speculate. I’m thinking there may be a parallel to the whole “gay or just English” question here.

these guys are all living in wingnut-virtual-reality, which states that all ‘homos’ are closeted because they are too icky and horrible to face the light of day, and therefore, they can be easily manipulated and blackmailed to do whatever dastardly action (e.g., cooperate with Democrats) by the eminences grises that seek to destroy our FREEDUMBS!!

Teh Gheys are leaking our atomic secrets to Gheyistan!

Freddy Mercury would totally be the president of Gheyistan if he were still alive.

Freddy Mercury would totally be the president of Gheyistan if he were still alive.

ZOMBIE FREDDY MERCURY RULES!

In times of stress and fear, the authoritarian faction frequently begins to search for sgaypegoats.

Graham’s sexuality has been an open secret forever in SC. So has Andre Bauer’s. The rule up to now has been that if you’re an elite white male and conservative, you can be gay — just don’t ever call yourself that, or call any attention at all to your queerness. Everyone will play along and politely look the other way when you’re spotted in that bar with this or that handsome youth.

In Charleston the euphemism “confirmed bachelor” is still used in dead earnest.

I’ve wondered when this quaint local custom would finally come to clash with the national right-wing loony mainstream.

It would be really, really funny if the TeaTards succeed in getting Crist elected as an Independent in Florida and driving Lindsey Graham out of the Republican Party for not being a right wing enough South Carolina Republican.

The 14th Amendment is theft!

ZOMBIE FREDDY MERCURY RULES!

He will, as they say, “rock you.”

sgaypegoats

nice.

one small grace – there are a lot more of the ‘enemies of true murkin freedumb’ than in previous times of scapegoating, such as liberals, feminists, enviromentalists, brown people, etc., etc., and a lot of us are hard to identify right off the (moon) bat. I’m hoping this holds down (to zero) the body count that the righties would like to rack up.

OT; http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100422/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_iraq_seal_trial

Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, with just their word against his, there appears to be reasonable doubt. On the other hand, the reaction of the public, once again, doesn’t appear to have been “you can’t believe a terrorist over our boys” – it was “sure well if our boys beat him up, that’s great! what’s wrong with that?”

I don’t know. I’m getting goddamn tired of the complete lack of accountability for our troops (the fuck with Blackwater, I’m talking about American military personnel). The Abu Ghraib soldiers were let off with a slap on the wrist, the Haditha soldiers didn’t even get that, and of course, the big shots (including Rumsfeld) have never gotten in any trouble for it. It’s long past time for someone to finally get the axe.

He will, as they say, “rock you.”

I’m tingling all over. This must be how Lindsey Graham feels every day of his life.

He’s in a corner and there’s no way out. I want to poke him with sharp sticks. (Absolutely NOT a VPR).

What if he comes at you with a banana????

Wow, so he’s saying that all those years of economic growth under Democratic presidents was BAD for the nation?

That growth, as you know, benefited the wrong sort of people.

That growth, as you know, benefited the wrong sort of people.

The most beautiful view over a gay-sex reference I’ve ever seen.

veil, not view. fuck stupid typing fingers

What if he comes at you with a banana????

Um, I’ll peel out?

Kerry himself recently noted that the recession has reduced greenhouse gas pollution by 6 percent. He wants to see another 14 percent reduction by 2020. Not one given to heavy intellectual lifting, we’ll assume Kerry overlooked the implications of that statement. But others have been explicit, suggesting a controlled recession is what’s needed to achieve that result.

Always one who enjoys seeing a guy fuck his own face, I clicked through and found this…It always cracks me up to see an intellectual midget take a cheap shot like this. I’m detecting an invitation for some bromance here, like when children show each other attention by punching each other.

Um, I’ll peel out?

Nice.

I’d split.

What if he comes at you with a banana????

Um, I’ll peel out?

Or a raspberry????

It gets better. Simpson weighs in in comments to complain about ad hominems from the left. After an article he wrote speculating about someone being gay because they don’t think the way he does.

My response:
Jim Simpson says: “I am so sick of baseless, ad hominem attacks. Do you know that an ad hominem attack is a form of logical fallacy? It advances no argument, proves no point, and resolves nothing. It is a form of mindless intimidation engaged in by people who don’t have the brains to argue or don’t have the intellectual integrity to admit when they are wrong.”

As for Graham, it must come as a shock to the poor dear that his debasement of himself during the 98 impeachment circus curries him no favors with the same lunatic base today.

He will, as they say, “rock you.”

I’m tingling all over. This must be how Lindsey Graham feels every day of his life.

Indeed. However, according to James Simpson, Graham’s tingle is most likely not inspired by fat bottomed girls.

like when children show each other attention by punching each other.

I dated a girl like that. Boy, the changes people go thru in forty years…she went from beating me up to begging to be…well, a gentleman never kisses and tells.

But since we’re talking about fucking…

Graham’s sexuality has been an open secret forever in SC. So has Andre Bauer’s. The rule up to now has been that if you’re an elite white male and conservative, you can be gay — just don’t ever call yourself that, or call any attention at all to your queerness.

And, of course, one must be sure to support such manly legislation as DOMA and DADT. An occasional veiled reference to some sort of final solution is very helpful as well.

well, a gentleman never kisses and tells.

But since we’re talking about fucking…

and who said you’re a gentleman?

Indeed. However, according to James Simpson, Graham’s tingle is most likely not inspired by fat bottomed girls.

Attraction to fat bottomed girls, I’m told, is the last stage before coming to terms with being gay. So perhaps…

We all know why the Democrats’ want amnesty.

Because it will increase the number of apostrophes entering my sentences illegally!

Wait, Lindsey Graham is really gay? I just assumed this was a bunch of Republicans standing around the schoolyard chanting, “What kind of faggy name is Lindsey“?

Oh HELL yes!

Here’s another awesome comment. How loaded with veiled butsecks references is this???

Grandpa Smith says:
You must be right over the target Jim, that would explain why the flak is so heavy!

They’re coming in from the left! They’re coming in from the right! Streams of missiles aimed right for Simpson’s face! Oh, the huMANity!

Not me, but both the comment and “farticle” made me giggle.

Veiled penetration reference.

I was over there looking at comments. It’s all pretty tame (Jennifer’s being the most pointed — but hardly harsh).

Heavy flak?

What a bunch of crybabies.

Is there any other kind of teabagger?

OK, I not only picked a mango, I spit the seed back at Simpson.

Fat-bottomed girls, they make the rockin’ world go round.

True, but what makes all these men chase a big leg woman down?

OK, I not only picked a mango, I spit the seed back at Simpson.

I’m sure he thinks that’s the pits.

Steatopgyian females are the cause the phenomenon wherein fans of the rock music genre maintain their devotion to same.

heavy flak == “I disagree with you”

years, ago, I worked with a fundy who was exactly like this. He would refuse to speak to me for days because I dared question something he pronounced.

As Gheen explained:

I personally do not care about Graham’s private life, but in this situation his desire to keep this a secret may explain why he is doing a lot of political dirty work for others who have the power to reveal his secrets. Senator Graham needs to come out of the closet inside that log cabin so the public can rest assured he is not being manipulated with his secret.

He doesn’t care, which totally explains all of the hand wringing and implication that being gay is huge scary revelation that just might cause some sort of international catastrophe of really really scary proportions. I vote we torture Graham until he talks.

If that is Graham’s motive, it would certainly explain a lot. It would also provide justification for demanding his removal. Gheen is right that Graham’s private life is no one’s business, but if Graham has bought silence about it by agreeing to back these odious, nation-wrecking initiatives, he has betrayed his country, his Party, and utterly destroyed his own credibility.

The only possible way Graham might make a smart decision is if he is blackmailed. Since he isn’t acting like a psychotic teabagger, this blackmail scenario is the only possible explanation.

Super genius of heavy flak.

Meanwhile, in another universe

Veteran Rep. Babette Josephs (D., Phila.) last Thursday accused her primary opponent, Gregg Kravitz, of pretending to be bisexual in order to pander to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender voters, a powerful bloc in the district.

“I outed him as a straight person,” Josephs said during a fund-raiser at the Black Sheep Pub & Restaurant, as some in the audience gasped or laughed, “and now he goes around telling people, quote, ‘I swing both ways.’ That’s quite a respectful way to talk about sexuality. This guy’s a gem.”

his debasement of himself during the 98 impeachment circus

oOOOOOh-weee, forgot about that. (Don’t I WISH.)

And “Lindsey = faggy name”? Dude, we’re all about the weird-ass names down here – names like “Newt” and “Asa” and “Rash” and suchlikethatthere.

Gheen is right that Graham’s private life is no one’s business, but if Graham has bought silence about it by agreeing to back these odious, nation-wrecking initiatives, he has betrayed his country, his Party, and utterly destroyed his own credibility.

So it’s none of anyone’s business, except that it’s everyone’s business.

My god, the Dems have been blackmailing Graham all along by not outing him! That’s why he voted AGAINST HCR!

Wait, something doesn’t seem right there. What could it be? Since I’m even dumber than John Kerry maybe I will ask that mental giant not-Homer.

Greg Sargent says Michael Steele outed his party as racists.

“For the last 40-plus years we had a ‘Southern Strategy’ that alienated many minority voters by focusing on the white male vote in the South. Well, guess what happened in 1992, folks, ‘Bubba’ went back home to the Democratic Party and voted for Bill Clinton.”

Gawd bless Steele, the gift that keeps on giving. And giving. And giving.

Zombie Freddie Mercury? Awesome.

After all, Queen wrote a song called “All Dead, All Dead”.

As posts such as Simpson’s get wingier, the probability of their containing bad grammar, comma and apostrophe misuse and packing/ramming allusions approaches unity.

Sure enough:

Hey, I like snark, even when it’s a little hatey. His problem is not that he’s snarky, it’s that he’s an idiot who writes like crap.

self-serving plans to pack voter roles with reliable democrat voters … the will of the people be damned

The will of the people is thwarted when the majority of them vote for Democrats.

Right?

This: “with reliable democrat voters, constitution, rule of law, and the will of the people be damned” just sets my teeth on edge. How did it not occur to him that this sentence made no fucking sense?

“and the will of the people be damned”

Surely there is some method of determining the “will of the people.” I wonder how holding elections might work?

shorter version: “OMG! The Democrats want non-whites and naturalized citizens to vote!”

He did lift his leg to urinate all over the internet. Would that be described as “heavy”?

Let’s say Mr. Precious Bodily Fluids here is right, just for the sake of argument.

If Graham is suddenly a secret fan of tag-team bum-darts, based solely on his voting for the odd non-psychotic bill, then what does that say about John “Wet-Start” McCain, or Scott “Treasure-Trail” Brown?

The Colonial-drag Cosplayer whackaloons’ latest bit of attention-whoring is that from now on they’re going to be PROUD to call themselves “Teabaggers,” to boot – while the RNC pays party money for lesbian S&M parties.

So, by the time the video of the Thurmond-Cheney-Falwell Lemonparty* finally comes out, will anyone even notice?

He ain’t heavy, he’s my water retention.

Re: that off-topic article about the Ahmed Hashim Abed beating trial.

I see he’s referred to as a terrorist and that there are charges of terrorism against him. The only thing I see described that he did was ‘mastermind’ an attack on US ‘security contractors’ (read mercenaries). None of this should be read as a defense of anything Abed is accused of, but isn’t it pretty much identical to what Rambo or WOOOOLVERINES do in their movies? Don’t conservatives especially consider brutal killings in defense of god and country to be noble and worthy of praise?

He did lift his leg to urinate all over the internet. Would that be described as “heavy”?

In order to make that determination, I would have to think about his anatomy, which is quite unappealing to me. So I will leave this for someone else to decide.

???

seems to have multiple meanings

<blockquotePolicies and platforms

The Lemon Party has pledged to:

* Support global warming so lemons can be grown in Canada
* Abolish Toronto
* Repeal the law of gravity

Ok, well, ZuZu’s “Big-Legged Woman” isn’t up, but here’s another of his tunes with the same swing-blues vibe.

A couple of lines of the lyrics, from memory:
“Don’t need no fancy coffin when I die all I crave,
Big-legged women pallbearers carry me to my grave.”

“Big-legged woman, make poor me a slave.”

It seems Zu was into the chunky ladies.

Gravity is theft!

Interesting libraries you frequent.

I hate myself.

It’s too bad that Rush’s follow-up song, “Huckleberry Finn” never cracked the top ten.

bastard.

Hey, don’t hate the playa, hate the … aaaah, who the hell am I kidding.

Sorry, guys. That WAS truly loathsome of me – I know it’s so, because the response made me LOL like a motherfucker. Plus I’m still grinning like a cat in a bucket of catnip. I just can’t help it.

Clearer?

I spend over 70% of my brain time composing disgusting burlesques of popular songs, and for some reason Rush songs always end up being about golden showers. Spirit of Radio especially. There’s something about Geddy Lee’s voice which just makes the mind go automatically to the subject of piss.

Our close ally Colombia, recipient of massive amounts of U.S. aid and diplomatic support in the hemisphere, turns out not only to have been using its state intelligence agency (the DAS) and U.S.-provided electronic surveillance equipment to illegally spy on its own citizens, journalists, human rights workers, prosecutors, even Supreme Court judges (including handing that info off to death squad paramilitaries to assassinate opposition targets like professors and union organizers)…

…Turns out the same agency — and, gosh, please don’t you dare suggest that those 5 DAS directors in a row had anything to do with “savior” right wing President Uribe! — was spying on European government bodies and human rights organizations and probably on U.S. agencies and civil society groups as well.

The Colombian state intelligence agency, working closely alongside right wing death squads and right out of the office of the President Uribe, may have been organizing smear campaigns against U.S. groups or even individuals or politicians.

Colombian intelligence agency DAS carried out illegal monitoring as part of a smear campaign against European organizations, including the EU parliament, according to leaked reports from the prosecutor general, reported broadcaster RCN on Wednesday.

Newly revealed parts of the judicial dossier on DAS’s operations reveals that European organizations were targeted in order to undermine the influence of the European justice system.

This targeting including “following, apparently illegal,” reports RCN.

According to the revealed files, the European Parliamentary committee on human rights, the UN Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights and national governments, were agencies deemed a threat to the Colombian government.

The strategy of “Operation Europe” was to discredit such entities by creating press releases, website reports and by waging legal battles against them. DAS members attended NGO seminars, workshops and forums to compile confidential reports which included photographs and films of attendees.

The possibility of smear campaigns against U.S. entities is also being investigated.

Remember — a lot of these NGO and human rights types visit Colombia. And the state intelligence agency is surveilling them illegally, attempting to smear their reputation, and working right alongside right wing narco-paramilitary death squads in a nation where 1/3 of the national legislature is under arrest or investigation for collaborating with the right wing narco-paramilitaries.

No reason to be nervous if you’re an NGO representative, right?

But hey, I mean, there’s no reason to stop treating them like our best buddies, right? And even though no one is alleging the tiniest bit of proof for such a thing, surely Hugo Chavez is doing much, much worse things. Like, um, saying weird shit.

Stop, stop, I’m already dead!

There’s something about Geddy Lee’s voice which just makes the mind go automatically to the subject of piss.

probably why Weird Al has never done a Rush song.

It does, however, say something about YOUR obsessions, djur.

Alas, the “Becky Thatcher” is gone..

Speaking of pee….

I heard Becky Thatcher went to 11. All the time, if you know what *I* mean.

Yup. Now “Tom Sawyer” is in my head. Way to go.

I’m not sure which I hate more, caves or Rush.

Both are synonymous with pussies.

Freddy Mercury would totally be the president of Gheyistan if he were still alive.

Nononononono, T&U. Not Preznit. Queen.

That was what I thought, given FM’s flamboyant self. Then, some time later, it occurred to me that he was in a band called, now, what was it?

Duh. My only excuse is that I’m awake at this hour (3.58 am) after only 3 hours sleep. Sorrysorrysorry.

What’s to hate about caves? Sure, they’re Canadian, whine in falsetto, and have ridiculous lyrics, but they’re just innocent holes in the ground.

You know, if a kitty is kicking you out of bed, you might not be the hard-ass you think you are.

Okay, Lady Gaga’s music is, admittedly, fucking horrible. But I would LOVE to go to one of her concerts just to see the spectacle. Aesthetically, she (or the people on her design team) is a fucking genius.

I thought I was the only person on the planet who hated AC/DC. OMFG I HATE THEM.

but if I hear Stairway to Heaven

I had friends who did a noise/punk version called “Stairwell To Hell”. Other than the first and last stanzas, it was three minutes of blasphemy. Set to a drum machine.

Still don’t really like the music but I appreciate the showmanship.

I am so sorry I missed out on this thread.

Kudoze to smedley for this nugget:

“and the will of the people be damned”

Surely there is some method of determining the “will of the people.” I wonder how holding elections might work?

no comment necessary.

stupid fingers

You can sing the lyrics to the theme from Gilligan’s Island to the music from Stairway to Heaven and it fits pretty well. I heard it once on the Dr Demento show way back in the day.

Come On Eileen

(not so veiled bukkake reference)

Her music has really lasted nicely. Many times during the Bush years, I’d throw Horses or Land in the CD player and wonder how things ever backslid so far.

Horses is definitely in my top ten albums of all time. Easter almost cracks the list, too, if not for the cover alone.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm….yes….nothing says “Listen to me, bitch” like a nice set of nipples…

FYWP!!! I had a long, post actually defending disco, but it done got eated!

I was a young ‘un when the scribbling “Disco Sucks!” on one’s notebook was considered the height of wit, but in my maturity (so called), I have come to the conclusion that the anti-disco backlash was led by awful, boring people who thought it was too black, or too French and/or gay.

I have come to the realization that, if disco is cool enough for the Vibrators, it’s cool enough for me.

Come On Eileen

I don’t know if, for me, that’s quite in the neighborhood.

But it’s shopping for a condo there.

You can’t like loud guitars and dislike the song “Back in Black”. I must question your ability to rock.

I assure you, I was a Rock and Roll Animal

being trapped in a coffin alive with Rush pumped in while I slowly suffocate to death.
You need to talk to an agent about your movie script before the Saw people steal the concept.

I have come to the conclusion that the anti-disco backlash was led by awful, boring people

I hated disco and it had nothing to do with the artists and everything to do with the people who inflicted it on the rest of us.

Can’t help but notice that no one dares to repeat my invocation of “The Pina Colada Song” which is without doubt the worst song of all time.

I assure you, I was a Rock and Roll Animal

I don’t see that much of a divide between Wagner/Hunter and Young/Young, rock-wise…

You can sing the lyrics to the theme from Gilligan’s Island to the music from Stairway to Heaven and it fits pretty well. I heard it once on the Dr Demento show way back in the day.

I always preferred You wish it, I dish it.

Cut and paste fail… ignore the man behind the cretin.

Subby, eat Humble Pie. Or perhaps you’d like a Foghat to go with your foghead?

I miss the good Doctor. I know he’s on the net, but it’s not the same thing as listening to him late on a Sunday night.

OMG what about Ambrosia? Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

Holy Crap BBBB! I haven’t heard that in about 25 years and wasn’t even sure if it was a figment of some good hash.

Can we put David Lee Roth on Hell’s flaming cross?

Oooh, yeah
(Ahh!) Runnin’ with the devil (Ahh-hah! Yeah!)
(Woo-hoo-oo!) Runnin’ with the devil
I’m gonna tell ya all about it

Stryx, have you ever heard the vocal-only tracks from that album? Nearly as mind-breakingly wonderful as teh Tape of Only Linda.

Actor, to listen to the Doctor me and my buddies would have to drive up to the top of a local mountain so we could pick up the radio signal from Duluth. We had some good bud and a few beers and laughed our heads off.

Subby, eat Humble Pie. Or perhaps you’d like a Foghat to go with your foghead?

I never really liked either of those two. Small Faces and Faces were certainly better than Humble Pie. Hey, Rod Stewart was good once! A surprising fact.

I live to serve!

Dr. Demento performed a valuable service and with love too.

Totally avoiding prog-rock discussion just to say that the thread needs more pedantry:*
plans to pack voter roles with reliable democrat voters.
I was going to say something about “building up their parts”, but VPR and all that.

* OK, I wrote that before even checking Simpson’s words for stupid easily-ridiculed typos, but threads always need more pedantry.
Also he misspelled ‘deth-picable’.

Has anyone mentioned the deth-picable perfidy of liberal and democrat efforts to keep homosexuality stigmatised so they can blackmail republicans?

If you get a chance, find album”The Disconnection” by Carina Round. It is awesome.

In fact, here: http://www.amazon.com/Disconnection-Carina-Round/dp/B0001GOHOS

He’s on seven radio stations. Lower Koyukuk, AK is a bit far for me.

Runnin with the Devil, naked.

I haven’t read all the comments so somebody may have already mentioned this, sorry

Sort of on topic:

Interesting that he challenges Jughead to a meat-eating contest.

But I always thought it was Reggie that was a bit too over-compensating…

Runnin with the Devil, naked.

That file’s excellent, but it’d work for so many bands.

Like so?

It depends on how one defines “openly.”

What’s playing on Hell’s iPod…

Billy Joel.

NO NO NO–You’re all wrong. Hell’s iPod is all country.

Well said, BBB.

I do like AC/DC, for drinking and partying, and I used to cover many of their songs in my old band. (Which is not to say I ever lived up to the awesomeness that is Angus Young, but that is another story…)

What I can’t stand about them is the mullet/wifebeater uniform that their diehard fans insist on wearing

Dunno how you give a pass to disco – which is deserved – but not to country.

No way Creed could write lyrics as good Bob Wills:

Sitting in the window, singing to my love
Slop bucket fell from the window up above
Mule and the grasshopper eatin ice cream
mule got sick, so they laid him on the green

or

Grab your partner, pat her on the head
If she don’t like biscuits, feed her cornbread
Girls around Big Creek, ’bout half grown
Jump on a man like a dog on a bone

How’d we survive the 70s? Hard Rock bands (AC/DC, Van Halen, Cheap Trick) ..mix with Heart and Blondie….

In the meantime, on Hell’s iPod, let us not forget “Billy, Don’t be a Hero” (I’m sorry)

I’d just like to point out that, yes both Disco and Country have some not-sucking songs, hooray for them, but the genres themselves both suck harder than the black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

NO PASSES! YOU HEAR ME?

I’m still trying to get over the guy who is going to show liberals by repeatedly flushing what we have to assume are very large piles of poops. That’s some mean psychological warfare. That’s vicious.

And then we can write a 7 part, 24 minute song about it, with part of it in 9/8 time….

As sure as eggs is eggs.

Bob Wills didn’t play no country music. Bob Wills invented and played Texas Swing.

Rush: almost as enjoyable as listening to a kitten being crushed by a Panzer.

Wait til he gets his water bill.

IT’S A TRAP!!!! HE’S A VAMPIRE!!

I hear ya, SMcG, and I agree.

I’m invoking Sturgeon’s (second) Law here.

Marketing-term alert! It was Western Swing.
