Not Breaking – Trump is a lazy, fat, shithead

Trump is lazy. Of his 745 days in office, Trump has spent 222 days unwinding at Trump-branded properties and 168 days golfing.. But even when he is “at work” he is mostly watching TV and eating: In fact, “Executive Time” is far more than just a respite from the duties of the office. In perhaps […]

Filed in National by on February 4, 2019 0 Comments

Jeff Tweedy’s homage to the Stones, from Wilco’s “Being There” album, released in 1996. If you listen closely, you can hear the cowbell. I’m pretty sure this is the most upbeat song ever with “Monday” in the title.

I hate updates

I’m old. I like the last release. Generally, my favorite is the software release from three releases ago. It had plenty of features. The new releases of shit really tend to muc everything up. Anyway…To migrate the site to the new host we had to move up to a more recent release of WordPress. There […]

Bet you’d find a lot more people in church if all the music was as funky as this title track from Green’s first gospel album.

Song of the Day 2/2: Ray Charles, “You Don’t Know Me”

Filed in National by on February 2, 2019 0 Comments

Groundhog Day is the least impressive of holidays, but it has the best movie associated with it. The song most associated with the movie is naturally the Sonny and Cher ditty Bill Murray wakes up to over and over again. But the best use of a song on the soundtrack comes when Murray finally constructs […]

Another Tiresome Liberal Call for Someone to Resign

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, livened up a slow news day when he was found to have not merely posed for racist photos as a medical student, but to have actually put them in his med school yearbook. This has, naturally, set off a race among the the Awoken among us to call for […]

Open Thread – I Love Cory Booker

I know that the first five comments are going to be what’s wrong with Booker. That’s fine. Get it out. Then be ready to build up your candidate. Make your case and be ready to go to work. In other news: John Bolton’s first act as Natl Security Advisor was to fire the Director of […]

Song of the Day 1/31: Steely Dan, “Barrytown”

Filed in National by on January 31, 2019 2 Comments

Another song from the ’70s that remains sadly relevant today, though I suppose Donald Fagan would have to update “I just read the Daily News” to “I just listen to Fox News and swear by every word.” Though Dan obsessives like to dig for autobiographical references — Barrytown is a hamlet near Bard College, so […]

AOC & Markey to introduce “Green New Deal” Legislation

Here is the thing about the buzz this proposal will get. …With AOC it is like regular people finally have a representative in Congress. Have you ever felt represented by Chris Coons? I haven’t. Have you ever felt represented by Tom Carper or Lisa Blunt Rochester? Nope. They have their constituents, but unless you are a board member of a bank – you ain’t their constituent.
