I just dropped a dime! Are you watching/listening to Bernie's filibuster? I think it's important!!!!
Holy crap!
22 year old listener here, took your advice to watch Frank Zappa on Crossfire, and DAMN. I mean, D.A.M.N.
This was aired two years before I was born, and it's striking to me how the right hasn't changed much in all this time. What happened to people like Zappa? Why don't we ever see them?
And why do all the heroes have to be dead....
Laffer Curve: the most appropriately named economic term ever.
I just had a dream that Driftglass announced he was quitting blogging because it was making him too angry and depressed. In the dream, I was so upset!
How gay is that?
Also too, Zappa was kind of a Libertarian / Objectivist asshole. The only thing he hated more than Republicans were trade unions and welfare. He thought most people (even his fans) were lazy, pampered idiots as well, and while I agree with this assessment, I can't subscribe to his harsh condemnation of these folks as leeches upon the hard-working and successful. But I say peace be upon him in this holy season of Zappadan! Besides, his music was the best ever in the much-misunderstood genre of prog/art-rock. And he could play guitar like a motherfucker
PS: A sincere AMEN to calling bullshit on the pearl-clutching of "golly gee whillikers, this will really make the GOP look bad" ... unless US drinking-water has been surreptitiously dosed with a sure-fire antidote to outrage fatigue.
I remain convinced that not even Bush's premeditated anal rape of the US Constitution & economy is as toxic as the heinous amount of (ongoing) damage resulting from just how far he lowered America's already moribund cultural & political standards.
THE STUPID, IT KILLS.
There is hope.
Outrage fatigue! That's the phrase I've been looking for.
One just gets so tired.
