    Good thing you didn’t post “Losing My Religion” — who wants to give Michael Stipe something else to publicly complain about.

    I mean, really, I’m sure he’s pretty pissed off that non-Leftists even get to hear his music.

    I’m with Laura Ingraham “Shut up and Sing”

    Greetings:

    Me, I’m trying to hold out in hopes of Michelle Obama’s version of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” on the 21st of January next.

    notes from elsewhere

    An America with even more universal education will not be any more competitive, it will be less so. There is only so much money available for 24.4 billion dollar education budgets, or the 500 billion dollar equivalent of it when applying the same per-child spending ratio nationwide. And when that pyramid of debt sinks into the sand, we will have a great many people with a passel of degrees and less useful skills than most Stone Age aborigines.

    But an America with universal competence would mean a return to the country that was where the economy was driven by individual skill and learning ability, rather than by collective programming. And that is the only kind of nation for which the Constitution would be more than just pretty words, but serve as the guarantees of an actual limited government. That great nation existed once and it still exists even among the ruins of the government cradle-to-grave state. All it needs is the freedom to do.

    If this shiteous piece of crap is stuck in my head for longer than an hour, I’m putting a hex on Darleen. ;-)

  6. Abe Froman says September 7, 2012 at 7:46 pm

    Shiteous and crap would probably be redundant if the former was an actual word.

  7. newrouter says September 7, 2012 at 7:48 pm

    Shiteous and crap

    forward!

  8. John Bradley says September 7, 2012 at 8:05 pm

    Ah, 1980: when be-dreadlocked rasta men and white guys who look like Bob Ross could put aside their petty differences and make lightweight pop music together.

    Like they were side by side on a piano keyboard or something.

    Shiteous and Crap

    One of my favorite folk-singing duos.

  11. Darleen says September 7, 2012 at 9:50 pm

    ah abe, into each life a little shiteous and crap must fall

  13. Darleen says September 7, 2012 at 10:08 pm

    Is that Robbie Dupree or Jeff?

    Thirty-seven seconds. That’s how long that song lasted before I yanked the speakers off my box and threw them in the trash.

    Oh, and that Facebook thinger? “Secure video, must log in to view”. No Facebook, no view. So, no view.

    OH! OT, and possibly also fascinating…the Columbia University ‘Ghost Student’

    So here’s my gut. I believe Obama got a leg up by being admitted to both Occidental and Columbia as a foreign exchange student. He was raised as a young boy in Indonesia. That’s a fact. His mother made him an Indonesian citizen. But… did his mother ever bother to change him back to a U.S. citizen? I’m betting not. He was abandoned by his mother and sent back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents. No one was paying much attention to young Obama, so his citizenship was never changed back. But suddenly as he nears college-age and starts thinking of how to get into college with lousy grades and no money… Obama learns that foreign students have a much easier path being admitted to U.S. universities. And even more amazingly, they get loads of aid and scholarships to attend college for free – something unavailable to U.S. citizens. It’s a completely different path – a path so easy that even a kid with no father… no mother to be found… no money… and lousy grades can get admitted to the best colleges… as a poor foreigner with an exotic background.

    So a plan is hatched. Obama uses his Indonesian passport and citizenship to get into college. Suddenly even Ivy League Columbia University is a possibility for a foreign student from Indonesia. And it’s all paid for by the taxpayers.

    That would explain how a poor student who rarely attended class and got mediocre grades, and with no money, was able to get accepted and pay for Occidental, Columbia and Harvard Law. The door magically opened for a foreign student. Every college needs one or two bright exotic foreigners to create “diversity.”

    oh, sorry, didn’t know the embed only worked for FB users.

    I’ll need to extract the vid and repost it myself. I just saw the ‘embed’ tag on FB and used it without really studying the code.

    my bad

    Hmmmph. Y’all just don’t know good musics.

  19. serr8d says September 8, 2012 at 7:55 am

    Wow. This, headlining Memeorandum, presented without commentary, because none’s necessary…

    “They Won’t Magically Turn You Into A Lustful Cockmonster”: Chris Kluwe Explains Gay Marriage To The Politician Who Is Offended By An NFL Player Supporting It

    OK, commentary anyways. It’s not about whether or not gays are freaks and foul, but about preserving the terms and condition of ‘marriage’, a thing many people for centuries have found acceptable just the way it is.

  20. Jeff G. says September 8, 2012 at 8:23 am

    “They Won’t Magically Turn You Into A Lustful Cockmonster”

    He’s got a point. Generally cockmonstering stops after you’re married.

    “Parsley” explains why you should give it all up for the rightYeti.
