Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Let’s finish the job.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickle?”

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

I was promised a recession.

After roe, women are no longer free.

You cannot shame the shameless.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Bowie’s a ponce.

Still on a Rolling Stones kick, myself. The bachelor party left, and they all seemed to be in one piece, so I guess I did my part. Here’s a song I love that was almost killed by movie hacks:

I won’t be pissy about the overuse of that in movies, because right now I’m too irritated by the fact that everyone is using Wolfmother’s Woman for their show. USA is killing it with Covert Affairs. Kind of honks me off because they have some great AOR, but no one listens to it. They just know the Woman bullshit. Where Eagles’s Have Been is as good as anything from the 70’s:

Blah blah blah. My head will hurt tomorrow.

    Dude, the Stones are the poster boys for “Dead at 30, buried at 70.”

    Here’s a tighty-tight-McTight take on my favorite song of theirs, “The Last Time.”

    And, yes, youngsters, this video does date from the early 1930s.

    P.S.: RIP, Brian Jones.

    Quibbling, I know, but why does that YouTube link have a Brian Jones-era Stones picture accompanying a Mick Taylor-era track?

    Won’t ours all?

    ETA: Er, striving for solidarity and sympathy, but suspecting that I’m not quite hitting the right note. Oh, wait, another Stones link: their “sensitive” side: “Sittin’ on a Fence.”

    @ Steeplejack:

    Um, because teh YouTube is not archivally correct?

    Everything I know is wrong.

    Still up, wallowing in the YouTube-ness, but going down soon.

    The Animals, “Shake.” They could have taken the Stones in a back-alley fight, except that Jagger’s reach was probably a foot longer than Eric Burdon’s. Bastards.

    WTF is the Torch?!

    Hee. A Crackberry. And you asked me this morning FTR. But I kinda had a shit ton of stuff to take of before work so never got the chance to answer.

    Bowie’s no ponce, JC. But I speak as one who was raised to believe in the Unholy Trinity: Bowie, Lou Reed, Iggy. Stones’ ’68-’72 (Banquet to Exile) may be the greatest streak ever enjoyed by a band, but Bowie’s ’71-’79 is a close second (In addition to brilliant albums from Ziggy Stardust to Lodger the preternaturally prolific Bowie made Iggy’s “The Idiot” and “Lust for Life” happen).

    IMO: “As good as anything from the 70s” is awesome punchline material, possibly worthy of inclusion as a new category or site motto…

    everyone is using Wolfmother’s Woman for their show

    and TV commercial.

    i guess their “Love Train” wore out its usefulness.

    John, I have never been a huge Stones fan. But I just finished reading Keith Richards “Life”. Now I can’t get enough of the Rolling Stones. Keith rocks.

    I’ve been reading Keith Richards autobiography. I keep having to pull out old records(yes records) to play or go to U-tube to listen to songs.

    No, this is silly. There was a shit ton of great music in the 70s. The 60s may have peaked higher (Dylan/Stones/Velvet Underground/Classic Soul, say I–really don’t care about the Beatles), but as a whole that decade is way overrated. And nobody overrates the 80s, 90s or aughts because everybody knows they sucked. 70s-music-as-punching-bag is a dumb cliche as far past its sell-by date as Mick himself.

    If you like Wolfmother, you should check out Radio Moscow. Sadly, it’s probably too late for anyone to see this post, but they rock like a more polished Blue Cheer.
