Huh?

Well, for putting up a Creed album, you are a terrible person. That is some warmed over schlock-rock of the worst order.

Ok, I get it then. I have no idea who Creed is. I may have known who they were years ago, but I’ve forgotten.
Betty Cracker
Oh, Tim. I had no idea of the depths of your depravity.

Is it just me or does it sound like the lead “singer” is trying to sing while brushing his teeth and he has a mouthful of toothpaste?

That ain’t right, ass.

Creed is just plain awful. Any worse and they’d be called Nickelback.

Open thread needs a kitteh trying to unravel the mysteries of space-time.
Plus, bonus rant about the Downton Abbey.

Unlike all you cool kids I has no idea what Creed is.

Here’s a picture of a bunny with a pancake on its head.
Here’s a picture of a Pope with a lamb on his head — err, shoulders.
Here’s a video of a panda trying to put snow on its head.

Ah, Creed. The soundtrack of your life.

@srv: If that were my life soundtrack, I would have slit my wrists a long time ago now.

Did I just see that Mitch McConnell is willing to extend unemployment in exchange for killing ACA?
Unbelievable.
And now Blitzer is asking the Labor Secy Perez if he is willing to cut spending to offset.
Holy f#ck.

That reminds me. A local insurance company that caters to high risk drivers did a 30 second commercial to Creed’s “Arms wide open.” They altered the lyrics a bit calling it “Doors wide open”. I cannot find it though so perhaps there was an infringement filing against them for using it. Vern Fonk was the company. “They told me to honk, honk, with doors wide open.”
Here’s one of their other ads in case anyone is wondering:

@Another Bostplainer:
I want to feign shock but I just can’t. I assume that negative Obamacare stories are horseshit. I start with that assumption. Usually I see a little shock-laced get-your-goat headline, and I just wait. A couple of days pass, the headline has vanished, the story has no legs. Then another little drooling right-wing sycophant asshole posts or just makes up out of whole cloth another horror story, with a shocking headline, and it bubbles up from the sewer of right-wing misinformation, leaves a stink, and vanishes without a trace again.
So, lie after lie after fucking bullshit lie, and pretty soon I stop listening entirely.

@slippytoad: There have been a few people that have fallen through the cracks, some of them are commenters here. But they have been far, far less than the number of people who have been helped, and what we need to do is fix the law to help them.

@slippytoad: Mitch the Bitch is a tough one to take down. Has never lost an election (yet).

@Suffern ACE: I would like to climb that path. Am not afraid in least of heights. I think the coming back down might be the hardest part.

@Paul in KY:
The toeholds in that wall are the worst part. You can at least see them and plot the ascent. Coming down? I can see someon freezing up.

Could I interest y’all in a video or two of animals that actually enjoy cold weather? What about some nude sunbathing?

Re the blogger griping about nude sunbathers. They’re the locals, she’s the out-of-towner. Her complaint sounds kind of petulant to me.

Okay. I thought that album was Greed.

A couple of weeks late, but Merry Creedmas. This year I got a copy of the Kid Rock/Scott Stapp sex tape as I angered mighty Santa Creed.

@Roger Moore: That’s what you’d be doing if you slipped & fell. It would be the ‘Base Stopping’ that would get ya :-)

@Paul in KY:
I was thinking of a parachute as an alternative to climbing down. It would certainly be a lot faster, and might even be safer.

You might get him eventually after all. Texas billionaires are already upset with Charlie Strong.

In Dallas, they said this:
My statement to Charlie: What did you expect? “Welcome, sonny”? “Make yourself at home”? “Marry my daughter”? You’ve got to remember that these are just simple Texas billionaires. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.

@Comrade Jake: Finally someone points out the obvious. I think all of Paul’s children are under twenty-six and should be able to stay on his policy.

Rand Paul has a son?! We can’t possibly survive a third generation of Old Uncle Freedoms in national office. Here’s hoping he spouts dreads and becomes a professional hemp skateboarder with a night job as a drummer in a reggae band..

Wait, Robin Roberts has a white girlfriend?
This is fantastic: any wingnut with two heads will have both explode!

@Botsplainer: What a bunch of fucking assholes. Of course, as Coach Strong well knows, Florida has a similar level of stoopit per capita.

I notice your change of nym. Have you retired from thought leadership?

Ugh. I heard from the recruiter yesterday. She needed me to fill out a verification of employment form and send it back to her. Well it took me like 30 min to print and scan and send it via email. So she send me another email saying it wasn’t clear enough via email and that I may need to fax it. So of course I don’t have a fax at home and I sure as heck wasn’t driving out in the old ass weather just to fax one sheet of paper. So I emailed the form to my sister and had her fill out the form and fax it to the recruiter. I emailed the recruiter and told her it was faxed and could she let me know if she received it. I haven’t heard from her sincs.
Ugh, I wasn’t expecting a call with an offer, I know she has to get stuff together but dang she made it seem urgent to fill out the paperwork she emailed and I did ask her to please let me k ow she received the fax. I have a pet peeve about people not at least acknowledging the receipt of something especially faxes and emails since they can be lost in a shuffle.
Anyway, just venting. Good afternoon everybody.

@lamh36: Fax? I’m surprised she didn’t ask for Pony Express delivery! Hope you hear back soon!

@Amir Khalid: I notice your change of nym. Have you retired from thought leadership?
Tsk. Once one has been become annointed with the mantle of Thought Leadership, one is always a Thought Leader, for there have always and everywhere been fuckheads in need of leadership. (And now that I mention it, they needs thoughts too, so who will give them the thoughts they need without a Thought Leader! Think of the poor fuckheads!)

I think B-J is (still) too much a mass of snarling jackals (with missing mustard) to have a thought leader. It’s a bit like the Redskins actually having a special teams coach.

@Botsplainer: The Texas Longhorns shocked me. When the head coach position came open, the one thing I was sure of was that one of “those people” wouldn’t get the job. In SoCal, there was a lot of concern that Jim Mora would get plucked from UCLA, and I thought he met the right um, demographic expectation. So the hiring of Charlie Strong surprised and delighted me greatly.
This is my long-winded way of saying that Red McComb’s code isn’t too hard to decipher. “Good position coach or possibly coordinator” my ass. Bigot.

@Betty Cracker: I do faxes at my work all the time. There is no seciruty protocol for e-mail that allows us to accept documents that way and in some cases I need the paperwork immediately and that ends up being the fastest way. I also have e-fax at work. I HATE it.
