The FOIBLES of Sarah Palin….heh…
This says it all –
I’m gonna say it – I TOLD YOU SO!
And this is gonna get worse.
Temper tantrums, blaming others for her screwups, willful ignorance, and personally I want to know where she got that Fargo accent.
The Religi-Right wants her to get back in the game for 2012…? Yeh, me too.
Could it happen?
I’m sitting here at 6:45 PST, looking at the results so far and waiting for the other shoe to drop, and beginning to think it might not. And I can’t begin to be thrilled, but I’m not feeling DOOMED anymore either.
I was VERY concerned about Republicans shenanigans and the last 2 elections, but it appears that the the Dem machine was as well and has managed to keep the crap to a dull roar.
And I was VERY concerned about the Bradley Effect, but it appears that hasn’t won out either.
From the beginning I was saying that if Obama was to win that he would have to win by a really big margin in order to counterbalance these two problems, but it appears SO FAR that the needed margin was achieved……it’s looking better than I dared to hope…..
UPDATE 8:50pm – Wow, looks like a landslide….I’m in awe of the whole thing, and I must also note that McCain was really gracious and cool about it, good for him.
What a great feeling, relief and happiness and pride in our country and it’s ideals…..and what an awesome thing for us to show the world, this is pretty great….plus I don’t have to wonder if I should say I’m Canadian in other countries any more…heh….
Well, this is the announcement that America really IS America, and that because it’s America, it keeps changing and evolving and redefining itself, which of course is that exact reason that it continues confirming itself. Obama’s about to speak…..
Backstage on the set of Idiocracy…..
Not long ago a friend of mine used a phrase I hadn’t heard before – “The Angry Left”, and at the time I thought that was a very odd thing to say, given that almost all the shrill spit-flying anger I’ve EVER heard in Politics was from people on the right, and I’ve really never heard serious anger from anyone I know on the left…..in fact, I’M the one who is usually the angry one on the left, and I don’t really get that angry at people about this stuff, (mainly because I figure if they don’t get what’s going on, they must be challenged somehow, and I don’t like to make fun), so where is this angry left? (I now know that it’s a phrase the right has floated out there to give their base another canard-bomb to throw when someone starts using facts truth and other pesky stuff that needs to be obscured in a tidal wave of biley glue that you can’t get off your body without a shower, a bottle of toilet cleaner, and a belt sander.)
So where is the “Angry Left”….? Well, I guess it’s NOT in Strongsville, Ohio.
This is a place that National Geographic needs to go out and do some of their genetic mapping at, because I think we’ve found the “Missing Link“, or the extras from the movie “Idiocracy” at least.
Now I’ll grant you that the videographers in these clips must have known what they were gonna get when they started filming here, but if there is a Mother-Lode of dumbass knee-jerk redneck Stoopid-Is-As-Stoopid-Does Gumpaliciousness, this is the spot. Full of people who are just plain angry at……ummm…….well, I’m not quite sure what, but they’re REALLY ANGRY at any rate, and filled with inarticulate half or non truths that they’ve gleaned word for word from Limbaugh/O’Reilly/et al, these folks give new meaning to the phrase “Dumber than a Bag of Hair”.
Unless you’ve been living in your closet for the last week you’re probably already seen some of this, but since that’s possible, here’s some looks at what I’m talking about….
Ok, call me an elitist………..great, thanx. Now, if you were on Obama’s Secret Service detail, you’d be looking around a little harder in that part of the country wouldn’t you? Makes me a little scared for the guy, because THIS kind of thing gets a little past politics and gets into some, shall we say, “darker” parts of the human psyche. I mean seriously, do YOU know anyone who’s this angry on the left, (besides me of course) who doesn’t also chain themselves to trees?
Anyways, I’d love to see ANY evidence of this kind of nuttiness on the left, and be assured that I will put any vids that show lefty weirdness up, because it’s either real and I can say “Well, I was wrong” or it’ll be obvious BS and I can make fun of you in public….so send it in!

New song demo to check out.
Hiyas, I know it probably seems like all I care about is politics, (could be true, but I’m trying to kick it, really I am) I DO still do music, but there’s a lot going on these days for me……anyways….
After much more farking around with equipment the last few, I have a decent demo of a new song to check out…..I know there’s a lot of warts and I’m probably gonna recut the guitars and maybe the bass, but the song is there and I like it quite well….I’m just putting it here as a peek into the gestation period….

To answer some things that will be going through your head as you listen…….drugs, it’s a machine, that IS a french horn, it’s german, and Irene.
And yes I like Pink Floyd….a LOT. And I know what you mean, it’s on purpose.
I have a bunch more in various stages coming up, (I know I always say that, but it’s actually true, hopefully this shows good intent and SOME progress…I know, basically I suck) and this one will mature…….
Thanx for your ears – WB
