This one goes out to Rick “Montemayor” Perry:
ETA:
Dan “Bee” Spears, who played bass on the road with Willie Nelson for more than 40 years and appeared on many of his classic albums, died unexpectedly late Thursday.
My condolences to his family.

I was waiting for him to say something like, “Uhh…uhh…you know, the beaner judge”

For some reason, that brought this to mind.

I mentioned this in the last thread, but since this is an open thread, I’ll say it again. Guess who Penn State have hired to provide legal advice to the university president. It’s quite amazing.

This is pretty hilarious. AP via GOS:
Loyalty. This from the guy who said he might run as an independent if he doesn’t like the GOP nominee.
I don’t think that word means what you think it means, Donald.

Omnes Omnibus
@JGabriel: He means loyalty to him and only that.

I wish someone in either party would tell Perry to his face that he’s a fucking idiot and that he should just stop campaigning. Forever.
JGabriel
@Omnes Omnibus: Yep.

Dunno if this was covered in a previous topic, but just in case:
“Lowe’s pulls ads from ‘All-American Muslim’ after ‘ordinary’ portrayal protested”
Under protest from the “Florida Family Association”, Lowe’s, and reputedly other companies, have pulled ads from the show because apparently, considering a Muslim Family as “All American” is to support jihad by minimizing its threat.
Stunningly, it seems like this is the kind of stuff this show is trying to dispute. But no, we can’t have that, because we all know every Muslim is a terrorist or a secret terrorist waiting to kill us all in our beds. Nope, can’t be real Americans at all ever, they’re bloodthirsty monsters, to the last.
Good fuck all….

robertdsc-PowerBook:
Now why would a Democrat do that when Perry is so good at illustrating for the American public that the GOP is just as dumb and bigoted as we’ve been saying all along?

“… liberties and traditional values” like freedom of speech, separation of church and state, and equal opportunity?

I normally really love MVRDV’s work, butthis is ridiculous.
I have a coworker I wanna punch in the teeth.
And I have a sore throat and feel crappy.

@JGabriel:
Silly, those aren’t traditional values, those are COMMIE VALUES!!
Suffern ACE
@JGabriel: Nope. Those values where we get angry and then panicky so we can pass laws and then Chinese can’t get married and need to cut their hair a certain way. Those kinds of things never get old.

I’m glad the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board pulled these ads, but it would have been better if they’d never run the damn things in the first place.

@The Snarxist Formerly Known As Kryptik: Remember that Republicans think Iran not using a nuclear weapon is worse than Iran actually using a nuclear weapon because people won’t believe they are 100% evil if they have a nuke and don’t use it right away.

Someone needs to go Howard Roark on those (while not occupied of course).

Also, I lost an uncle this morning, and the world lost a pretty damn good bassist.

@Brian S:
So sorry for your loss.
Little Boots
sorry brian.
Omnes Omnibus
@Brian S: Condolences.
Little Boots
Omnes, I still feel bad.
I was kind of obnoxious, sorry.
Omnes Omnibus
@Little Boots: For what? But, if you’re good, I will show you my new love.
suzanne
@Brian S: Hugs.

One of my favorite books has a new edition. I may need to find another $70 in the hobby fund and update my library.
Watchmaking, by George Daniels, MBE
This volume is the gold standard on the art and craft of hand fabricating portable mechanical timepieces. It has history, design, micro-machining, and technical illustration of fetishistic exactitude. For a certain kind of nerd it’s irresistible.
suzanne
@Omnes Omnibus: Those salt pigs are my kind of klassy. Though I do prefer Good Fortune Cats.
Little Boots
@Omnes Omnibus:
oh,you know.
but hey, if you want to show me something, that’s okay too.
Omnes Omnibus
@Little Boots: Her. You’ll like the music anyway.
@suzanne: I do what I can to help.

@JGabriel:
So what the fuck am I supposed to do with all this fucking popcorn? Eh? What?
Omnes Omnibus
@SiubhanDuinne: GOP National Convention. You’ll need to lay in more.
Suffern ACE
@SiubhanDuinne: That fucking popcorn can be strung with fish line and hung on your Christmas tree. Holly Hobby will have nothing on you.

@Brian S:
I am sorry, Brian. He must have been a cool uncle.
