Work Drugs is a sedative-wave / smooth-fi band from Philadelphia, PA. Work Drugs hopes you dance to this song/ take drugs to this song / have sex to this song / sail to this song / freak out to this song.
This is via an excellent local music blog, Tympanogram.

Just read that Nancy Pelosi has been hospitalized in Rome, Italy. No more information than that …

@Southern Beale: I’m wondering how long before the “jokes” start at Free Republic and other Stormfront Lite sites like National Review and Atlas Shrugged.

Here’s a very interesting debate that I’ve been going back and forth on for years.
When liberals state ridiculous things as fact, are they lying or just incredibly stupid? There is substantial evidence on both sides of this argument.

@JGabriel:
Yes but a liberal said something mean about a Republican once so BOTH SIDES DO IT…. lather, rinse, repeat …

Ironically, I just got a fundraising letter from Nancy Pelosi with the subject line “I’ve had enough.” Hope she wasn’t being prescient.

Well, it had to happen: death metal (or is it black metal?) cover of “Friday.”

@jwest: If I said you added anything to the conversation, would I be lying or incredibily stupid?

jwest:
Define ridiculous. Am I ridiculous when I point out that the CEO of Verizon is the vessicle for Satan’s form on earth? Yes, purposefully so.
Are liberals in general saying ridiculous things when we say that Bush lied us into war with Iraq? No, we were telling the truth.

@jwest:
Seriously? Lee Stranahan? The guy who claims to be a liberal but does nothing but write about how horrible all liberals are? That guy?
Sorry, he has never had anything interesting to say. And before you start parroting him and saying that the liberal blogospere’s commenters never read anything he says, I went on over to see if he had anything more interesting to say than ALL LIBERALS SUCK EXCEPT ME AND I’LL SHOW MY LIBERAL BONA FIDES BY DEFENDING JAMES O’KEEFE! And waddayaknow…still the same old Lee Stranahan.
Anyway, I have a huge bouquet of pu$sy willows in my office, it’s well over 55F, the sun is out, and it’s spring. I still don’t know what I think of the whole Libya thing, but it’s too pretty outside to worry about it right now.
JGabriel
@Southern Beale: In any event, I hope Pelosi feels better soon. I don’t like the thought of her not being in the House to oppose the GOP.

Yes, and he’s linking to a website that talks about Glenn Beck as though he is sane.
Tbaggers, insane or just fucking nuts?

Did any of you know there were “nuclear explosions” at the power plants in Japan?
http://crooksandliars.com/nicole-belle/dont-let-nuclear-explosions-dissuade-
I’m amazed news like this hasn’t been reported elsewhere. Luckily, we have liberals to get the facts out to us without being alarmists.

@Svensker:
Heh. Great minds and all that.

Thanks, I enjoy that style of music. Local band, and they’re appearing just a couple blocks away from me in early April.

Those conservatives at the Washington Post are at it again:

What is this movement of people on the left suddenly calling “bullshit” on their own side? Is it a quest for credibility or perhaps something deeper? Could it be that some liberals have come to the realization that problems can’t be solved until issues are discussed with real facts instead of lies? One can only hope.

@Omnes Omnibus:
Is this a new troll? If so, his troll fu is not strong.

Thanks for the plug, guys! We appreciate it.

Omnes Omnibus,
Are you saying that (for liberals) if an author alludes to the truth somewhere in the body of an article, it’s perfectly fine to have total lie in the headline?

No, JWest has been trolling BJ for a while. He/she is a self-described conservative who uses phrases like the racism of the left and thinks Sarah Palin is smart and witty.

Ok, since this is a music thread – ostensibly – I saw Matt Pond PA with Rocky Votolato last week. Very cool band, and Votolato is good too.

You left out “both.” It’s a viable option.

@geg6: Newish, but not very good.
@jwest: No, but explaining context to you is would take up far too much of my morning, so I will simply bid you good day.

@JGabriel:
Ah, well. That explains his appeal to the authority of Lee Stranahan and the WaPo. One stupid asshat pointing to other stupid asshats. And he wonders why we point and laugh.

Just lookin’ for a little love from the mobile version of the site. Rumor has it one needs to supply a comment in exchange for a cookie….

Am I right in assuming that the title of the band, “Work Drugs”, is a Kenny Powers reference? Classic.

Fukushima reactors stabilized.
People showered me with abuse when I told ’em not to worry about the reactor problems in Fukushima. They’re uncannily mute now.

Here’s a pretty good remake of an incredibly bad remake of an old, really stupid song that was discussed here last week. (Although I’m pretty sure that the rumor that they simply removed the AutoTune is likely not true).
