Where have you been, Jeff? What up?

I’m here, but I’m taking a short breather.

It’s one of the things I’m still allowed to do in Obama’s America — so I’m getting jiggy wid it!, as the kids say.

Or said.

When you spend your days listening to Loverboy, the 80s never die.

  1. Jeff G. says:

    Phat!

  2. Danger says:

    Yeah but are you “Working for the weekend”.

    After all Thor has his needs

    “Ralf Dahlendorf died on Wed. at the age of 80.

    Mr. Dahlrendorf championed liberal pluralism. He also forwarded that it was power moreso than property that defined class, which is counter to Marxism and somewhat Foucaultian.

    This, I believe, would be a topic I would care to hear Jeff weigh in on.

    Duh-Dar, not so much”

  3. sdferr says:

    Phew, I thought for a minute there [**shudder**] maybe you’d been bit by the golf-bug.

  4. Danger says:

    That was from Darleens Fishy post.

    I made some helpful suggestions and he went away
    Have I taken too much liberty chasing away a regular contributor?

  5. ducktrapper says:

    Loverboy! I was culling vinyl the other day upon orders from ‘she who will not be denied’ and sneakily decided to keep the three Loveboy albums. The Men at Work had to go, however. What the heck. Didn’t they know we’re only working for the weekend?

  6. Joe says:

    I figured you were counting and roling the coins from the jars of quarters, dimes and nickels we are all sending you, because those automated counters at the supermarket are a rip off.

  7. Bob Reed says:

    What up, home skillet? You mean ya ain’t up wif whaz goin’ down these days? C’mon playa, all da boo-eez know you got game…

    Das right, everbodies know you is a bad mofo, who be chillin’, hearin’ some gangsta or deep house, maybe gettin’ busy later wit some girl that is fly; y’know what I’m sayin homes?

    We know you comin’ roun’ later, with some fresh shit, that’ll be so dope it will blow our minds more than a handfull of X, or them red pills ‘Dillo always be goin’ on about…

    Be Cool!

  8. The kid, is hot tonight
    Whoah, so hot tonight
    But where will he be tomorrow?

  9. PWT says:

    Isn’t it called funemplyment (or starvecation if you prefer) in Obama’s America?

  10. Bob Reed says:

    And, you know, we know you a righteous ballah, so you be poppin’ some jumpahz; non-problematic G…

    Numbah one in da hood!

  11. Joe says:

    There was a lot better music in the 80s than Loverboy.

  12. Danger says:

    Alright who killed Bob and where did you hide the body ;)

  13. Bob Reed says:

    Jus’ keepin’ it real, Soul-jah boo-eey!

    Peace-out!

  14. Abe Froman says:

    Bob speaks Uighur.

  15. Danger says:

    Is Bob really Bo Jackson?

  16. Bob Reed says:

    I used to live in DC…

    CHOCLATE CITY!

    I gots me some street-cred…

  17. cranky-d says:

    “I hope you’re with me, I hope you’re with me, when it’s oooooooooooverrrrrrrrr.”

    G-d help me, I have at least two of their albums. On vinyl.

    Even worse? I still like some of it. Makes me all nostalgic when I hear it, for things that never were and a past that didn’t happen.

  18. Bob Reed says:

    Naw playa, mo’ like Bo Diddley!

  19. Danger says:

    Naw playa, mo’ like Bo Diddley!

    Well Bo does know Bo

  20. Bob Reed says:

    Bo knows that he gotta run fo’ a spell…

    But I’ll leave you wif da 80’s tune that made me wanna be join NAVAIR

    http://tinyurl.com/56r8pw

    See y’all on the flip side…

  21. Danger says:

    Bob,

    That’s a foul, jumping out of a post using a link I can’t reach at work as a bookmark.

    Yeah, I have some NAVAIR in me too. Good times/tough times plenty of sea stories.

  22. Loverboy! I was culling vinyl the other day upon orders from ’she who will not be denied’ and sneakily decided to keep the three Loveboy albums. The Men at Work had to go, however. What the heck. Didn’t they know we’re only working for the weekend?

    you should send them to me and I can convert them to mp3!

  23. SDN says:

    Danger, I’ve made Jeff a standing offer to replace whatever hammerboi contributes financially…. I doubt it would be a hardship.

  24. Muledriver says:

    Are you motorin’?

    And, if so, what’s your price for flight?

    Yeah, I know that’s Night Ranger. Same shit, essentially.

  25. Carin says:

    Everybody’s working for the weekend.

    You want a piece of my heart?
    You’d better start from the start.

    Just saying.

  26. cranky-d says:

    Youtube is putting ads in now. What a shocker!

  27. cranky-d says:

    The lyrics look pretty lame just lying there naked, don’t they?

  28. Danger says:

    SDN,

    By contributor I wasn’t referring to financial support.

    I was trying to be sarcastic. I guess I should have added an /S

  29. Pablo says:

    But I’ll leave you wif da 80’s tune that made me wanna be join NAVAIR

    I remember singing that song over the PA in the WSA at Ramstein when some grunts did just that…off a forklift. It was a duet with a brother, so the shit was tight.

  30. Bob Reed says:

    Sorry Danger, I forgot you couldn’t get youtube vids at the front.

    It’s the gap band playin’, “You dropped a bomb on me”.

    I never really dropped any bombs; just flew cover for the guys that did.

    But that was long ago, a chapter already closed…

    I don’t talk about it too much because it’s kinda like goin’ around wearing your letterman jacket from highschool-when you’re in your 50’s!

    Look up the video later, it’s pretty funny; you might have heard ESPN using it as bumper music during commercial breaks on Monday night football…

    Best Wishes

  31. Danger says:

    Et tu Pablo,

    Man the least you could do is tell me what the song was;)

  32. Bob Reed says:

    Pablo, I bet you dude’s were DOPE!

  33. SBP says:

    Switchin’ to glide, baby.

  34. Danger says:

    Thanks Bob,

    I was guessing High way to the Danger Zone, Then Pablo said he sang it in a Duo so I as thinking You’ve lost that loving feeling.

    Whew, I am glad you cleared that up;)

  35. SBP says:

    Switchin’ to Glide from a semi-obscure Canadian band.

  36. geoffb says:

    The 80’s when MTV was about music
    that had legs not politics.

  37. Joe says:

    Maybe one day Jeff you can be a big league blogger. A true renaissance man of such intellectual talent and brilliance that your blog posts literally change the conscience of a nation and, when angered, you can consume your enemies with rivers of napalm flowing from your arse.

    Maybe one day you can be like him.

    Then again, maybe one day you will just drive into an cncoming truck just to end it all.

    Danger, I’ve made Jeff a standing offer to replace whatever hammerboi contributes financially…. I doubt it would be a hardship.

    It’s obvious you’re a few diaper pins short of a three-pin diaper, ya leaking little unwashed pussy, but you’re also terribly fuckin’ boring. A boring fuckin’ screwball, and with P’brain we already have one too many of those.

    I thought you were going to dig yourself a mud bunker so you could cower in your feces like a mud loving pig in response to Obama and the Dems and the black helicopters and all. Need to borrow a shovel?

  39. Pablo says:

    Pablo, I bet you dude’s were DOPE!

    The grunts didn’t think so. :)

  40. Bob Reed says:

    Good ones geoffb…

    FWIW, Joan Jett lives near me, and according to my wife was a regular denizen of some of our local bars…

    Said she didn’t look llike the video JJ any longer though; but, time happens, and the arrow only points in one direction(unfortuately)…

  41. Bob Reed says:

    Maybe that’s why they dropped that bomb, Pablo!

  42. JHo says:

    Good to hear from you, boss. A bunch of very smart proggs stopped by and delivered some rather eloquent and stirring defenses for their positions that have kept us all busy. We could use the help around here lately. We used to call em trolls but let me tell you, this latest crop, these guys are some real intellectual heavyweights. Think Professor Caric times like a hundred five or even a hundred ten percent.

    And to think I used to think they had nothing. Gosh. I’ve been thumbing thru my Burke all morning, reconsidering my position on everything from personal liberty to touring Key West this September on the back of a panhead hardtail in red pumps and mylar chaps.

  43. Danger says:

    JHo,

    Did you forget the /s as well.

  44. geoffb says:

    My wife is a big Joan Jett fan but I surprised her by pulling out my Runaways albums.

  45. Abe Froman says:

    It’s obvious you’re a few diaper pins short of a three-pin diaper, ya leaking little unwashed pussy, but you’re also terribly fuckin’ boring.

    Aside from the bad writing that’s how everyone here would describe you.

  46. gus says:

    As a College student in the 80’s, and as a cool dude in a Rockin’ band, it quickly became apparent to me that Lover-Dude sucked. When I say they sucked, I mean THEY SUCKED. But there is good news friends. They sucked so very badly what with the bad teeth, the head bands and becaues they are from Canada and because their music was SUCK-O-RIFFIC, that they actually became quite good. Kind of like after playing basketball after not playing for a year. It hurts. It hurts so good. Nah, they suck.

  47. N. O'Brain says:

    Comment by thor on 6/23 @ 12:34 pm #

    whore talking about poop again.

    Good times, good times.

  48. JD says:

    JHo – Going anywhere on a Panhead hardtail is worth doing. At least once. Now, the fact that your legs may go numb from the vibrations after about 3 miles should not play into your calculus.

  49. oh, JD, you might find this amusing.

  50. Pablo says:

    Holy shit. We live in interesting times, my friends.

  51. JD says:

    maggie – Did you see who I get to eat dinner with tomorrow?

  52. Joe says:

    Loverboy Day!

    I hope this is not what Jeff is up to…

  53. Timstigator says:

    It’s kinda hot to wear my red leather rock-suit. It’s also a little warm to be wearing it.

    Heh.

  54. Salt Lick says:

    When you spend your days listening to Loverboy,

    “Arena” music? So are you punching a bag, or just jumping around to some fruity Richard Simmons video?

  55. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    You wanna piece of my heart? You better start from the…

    Nah. You can go ahead and have that little piece that’s small and shriveled, and has mostly written off the average American voting stooge as addle brained fuckwits that can’t be saved.

  56. mojo says:

    Are we speaking Ebonics this week? Did I miss a memo?

  57. sdferr says:

    David Thompson has a great post up, made up of 4 segments of a documentary about Revolutionary Feminists of ’70’s Britain. The docu. titled Angry Wimmin is mostly participants from that time centered in Leeds interviewed today with a look back to the exciting days of separatism and male-eliminationism, ridding their world of repressive men and male children, taking back the night from rapists, burning out sexshops, splintering into factional identity politics groups, collapsing in on their inborn contradictions …………….. ah, such good times. It’s a hell of a good post.

    Revised Top 10 List: The Next Republican President

    1. Mitt Romney
    2. Tim Pawlenty
    3. John Thune
    4. Mark Sanford (up a notch after his “disappearing” act)
    5. Mike Huckabee
    6. Bobby Jindal
    7. Sarah Palin
    8. Newt Gingrich
    9. Haley Barbour (enters the list after “meetings” with consultants in D.C. this week)
    10. Mitch Daniels (enters despite saying “no way”—too many drafters saying “yes”)

    Longshot: Hunstman returns from China

    If Jeff keeps pulling these “Sanfords”, who knows, he might make a short list! The Outlaw President

    Fred likes to hang home with Jeri. I can see the appeal of that.

  68. Cowboy says:

    I know some regular readers don’t share my trepidation, but the prospect of Mitt being at the top of the ticket in ’12 just numbs me.

    After just 21 weeks of Obama, I am ready for something radically different–and not just different from Obama, but different from the usual candidate that Republicans throw up there.

  73. serr8d says:

    I don’t want to see either Mitt or Huckholio. Sorry, they had their chances; neither one of ’em could beat an old half-liberal so old he farted dust. Didn’t Nishi mention a couple times that he was old?

    Someone, anyone else? If Sarah Palin’s negatives are too much to overcome (because we allowed the Left to frame her as they pleased, without fighting back) then a fresh face. John Kyl is there, and he’s a smart man.

    We need an ACORN, and an overarching, pointless (CHANGE!) narrative. A Soros-daddy wouldn’t hurt, either. And there’s that troubling Alinsky framework that worked so well for Obama, but not for us. We need to make use of all of those effective tools, without compromising our core principles.

    We are so freakin’ doomed…

  74. newrouter says:

    Palin/Liz Cheney ’12

  75. Cowboy says:

    I’m with you serr8d.

    If Palin is too damaged, can we at least find a conservative?

  76. Cowboy says:

    Nazdar:

    I hear you.

    Why can’t we brothers, protect one another,
    Noone’s serious and it makes me furious,
    Don’t be misled, just think of Fred.

  77. Joe says:

    I know some regular readers don’t share my trepidation, but the prospect of Mitt being at the top of the ticket in ‘12 just numb me.

    I hear you. Romney is hardly an outlaw candidate. Had he been the nominee last time I think he would have lost by 20 (although had he been the Veep, McCain-Romney might have won). Oh well.

  78. Cowboy says:

    Joe:

    Though I don’t understand it, my family is from WY and MT and the anti-Mormon thing is really strong out west. Of course, there are more prairie dogs than people in the part of WY I was born in, so maybe that wouldn’t have much of an electoral effect…

    I registered with conservatives4palin. If she’s our candidate, I’ll back her all the way.

    My only concern is that dickheads like Gibson and Couric have swayed the unaligned too much.

  85. Joe says:

    Anti mormon bias costs Romney votes, but that alone did not cost him the nomination. What hurt Romney is the flip flops, he just came off inauthentic. And his campaign was not well run. As we have seen with Obama, Romney is not the only flip flopper out there.

    But what killed Romney was he had a fairly extensive YouTube history of saying one thing and then promoting another. Hewitt and Townhall no longer link youtube links in comments because of that.

    Obama benefited from not having that same video history to be exploited by an opposition party (at the time). But if the economy is still in the shitter, Obama is going to have some tough sledding in 2012.

    My prime problem with Mitt is he is too eager to please. As much as I like many of the people on that list above in their current jobs, none of them really inspires me as POTUS (although after a taste of the Age of Obama, I would take any of them in a heartbeat). Maybe Mr. Applicachian Trail can pull it off in 2012. Who knows.

  86. serr8d says:

    I don’t subscribe to anti-Mormon beliefs. I have expressed admiration for the tenacity of that religion. If you’ve read of their beginnings; of the Plates of Gold delivered by an angel to an unlikely prophet later kicked out of the Church, you realize that those are shifting sands on which to build a religion. But the resulting structure has the strongest family bonds left in America today. Even the Catholics can’t touch ’em for family building; and the Jooooos aren’t seriously trying anymore, are they?

    Aside from the Amish (who may inherit America after all is said and done) there’s no stronger groupthink religion out there.

    Well, given it’s a minor religion. Let’s not forget those who succumb to the Crescent, and desire (and have pledged) to Have It All.

    does this work?
    “Andrew Sullivan immediately leaped into the fray. Unlike the rest of these non-experts, many of whom began to back off of the story when word emerged that Mrs. Palin’s daughter was pregnant and had been close to the time of Trig’s birth, Sullivan, who apparently received a secret medical degree while attending Harvard, began obsessively following this story, turning the Atlantic from a fairly uninteresting opinion website into a leading journal of gynecology and obstetrics. Rarely in human history has a gay man been that obsessed with a married woman’s vagina.”

  93. dicentra says:

    I don’t want to see either Mitt or Huckholio. Sorry, they had their chances; neither one of ‘em could beat an old half-liberal so old he farted dust.

    Huckabee is a snake. But McCain won because the genuine conservative vote was split between Mitt, Fred, and Rudy. And sometimes Huck.

    Mitt can fix the economy. Not because he can control the government but because he knows what businesses need to thrive (and most importantly, what gubmint needs to stay out of). We’ll be in such a pit by 2012 that we’ll be begging him to save us like he did the Olympics.

    the Plates of Gold delivered by an angel to an unlikely prophet later kicked out of the Church

    Joseph Smith was never a member of any church except the one he founded.

    Aside from the Amish (who may inherit America after all is said and done) there’s no stronger groupthink religion out there.

    Groupthink? Do you mean that we’re steadfast or that we’re mindless zombies? (Please take note of the pronouns I used in that sentence.)

    Well, given it’s a minor religion.

    Fifth largest in the U.S. and fastest growing in the world (Islam claims it, but they’re growing through births; we grow mostly through converts, at about a quarter-million convert baptisms a year.)

    Hardly flawless, like most people, but generally pretty straight shooters.

    When I was 12, I shot at 10 clay pigeons: nicked two, shattered one. So yeah, I guess we do shoot pretty straight.

  94. pdbuttons says:

    when i was 12…
    it was a very good year…

  95. Joe says:

    dicentra, sorry that was a little bit condecending. You keep shooting!

    And I am with you, I do not like Huck. I think Mitt has the ability to be a very good president, far better than Obama. I am just not sure Ann is that into him running again. I like Sanford too (I wondered if Jeff was making some subtle link with his post to today’s event with him). I like Jindal.

  96. SDN says:

    Huckabee is Bill Clinton with a Bible. No way in Hell I’d vote for him.

    The biggest reason Fred didn’t make it is that this country hasn’t seen a candidate in 50 years who doesn’t wet-dream about the office 24/7. Fred knew that there is life outside of government. Sarah Palin projects a similar attitude, which is why I like her.

    I’m looking for a candidate who will start telling Gibson and Couric, “That is a lie, and you are a liar.”

  97. serr8d says:

    Groupthink means strong family ties that bind, Dicentra. I’m impressed. No zombies, really. Zombies are the tin cup-shakers at the airports, and the ones that Science Fiction writer dude deceived as a prank for Harlan Ellison.

    She is the Claude Lemeuix of politics, McCain was just too big a pussy to put the puck in play.
    Palin will camp in front of the net and take all the shots those knuckleheads got, dump and chase motherfuckers.

    I mean, WTF? Is any of that apropos of anything at all?

    Hey, when the terrorists explode a nuke over the country and wipe out all electronic devices, they’ll be OK. We’ll be unable to communicate with one another because Twitter will be out.

    dicentra, sorry that was a little bit condecending. You keep shooting!

    Naw, I didn’t take it as condescending. I just wanted to remind people that there was a Mormon watching, thus to avoid embarrassment.

    I also wanted to boast about the one and only time I’ve ever shot a gun. :-D

    I mean, WTF? Is any of that apropos of anything at all?

    You gots to read it like stream-of-consciousness text. It also helps to be a tad tipsy.

    Do it Bob. You’ve earned it. I’ll be there (refilling your shots)

    All my stories are not nearly as good told as I thought they were when I lived them. And in most of them I am wearing a letter jacket. Kind of a “Vince Van Patton a-la Karate Kid meets Old School” vibe. Funny in an old worn-out pathetic way. Memories. Looks like I picked the wrong blog to quit drinking in.

    Gee al,
    I didn’t realize that. Sorry for the whole letterman-jacket analogy; no offense meant…

    I was just goofin’ on folks who always seem to be reliving their glorious times past, instead of relishing where they are…

    My belief is that all our better days are ahead of us! But, as I said before; one night…

    And, its 0041 here back east, and this vagabond has to hit the rack; early “curtain call” tomorrow…

    Be Cool!

    If Sarah Palin’s negatives are too much to overcome (because we allowed the Left to frame her as they pleased, without fighting back) then a fresh face

    Nope.

    Looks like it’s just me. OK, Darleen, I’m sorry I called you a big fat bitch, and all those other assorted names.

    Gimme some teh stupid!

    I don’t think you are in any danger of running out, thor, it will be okay.

    How’s that Urdu poetry coming?

    A talking dung beetle.

    Amazing.

    whore can say “poop” in Urdu?

    Amazing.

    Shut up, thor.

  164. Andrew the Noisy says:

    No one follows you, thor. You’ve kicked up too much of a dustcloud of half-thought snark and tendentious irony for anyone to do anything but growl at you or shrug their shoulders in boredom.

    So your Little Red Fevre Dream means about as much to me as your repeated use of deft witticisms like “Duh-Dar” and “Redumblican”. It’s just what you do, slick. I won’t attempt to decipher it any more than I would the barks of the dog next door.

  165. thor says:

    Ah, Pablo, my Colombian expert, how bad is it way up there in the Andes? I don’t know if I can take it where there’s less oxygen than dinero, Will I be totally out of breath and have to lay down for a siesta after every fiery speech to the pobrecitos?

  166. B Moe says:

    Did you know that whole families used to have to work 18 hour days everywhere not so long ago? Was the only way to survive. You know why they don’t so much any more?

    Look, Moe, I’m trying to help you lay claim to your very own Margaritaville. Do you want to work for the man all your life or do you want to tap the jungle bitches?

  168. Pablo says:

    I want you to stop babbling.

  169. thor says:

    And to think I was considering naming you as head of the securities regulating body when I form a workers paradise stock exchange.

    You fucked up, Pablo.

    This is weird. Governor Sanford now says he was in Agentina the last couple of days? Is there a secret meeting of the Luminati or something going on?

    Nothing wrong with a Governor taking time off. Hell, there are lots of good reasons to go to Argentina. Steaks, tango, trout fishing and beautiful women come to mind (not necessarily in that order). And the hyena Media and Pundits on the left love to focus on a up and coming Republican, cull him from the herd and eviserate him. But this is a non story that is becoming increasinly weird.

  179. Joe says:

    Was Jeff in Argentina too?

So if I start having the taxpayers foot the bill for Chinese Air Jordons and give them away in downtown Dallas, How is that going to affect WalMart’s shoe business?

    The other day there were a few stories about the pending release of more pieces of history from the Nixon Library .. an obvious chance to kick Nixon the the Republican Party one more time, but somewhere along the way the story seems to have disappeared …

    Five days before U.S. and South Vietnamese troops made their surprise move into Cambodia on April 29, 1970, then-President Richard M. Nixon got the approval of the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee for that action, according for documents released yesterday by the Nixon library.

    Nancy Pelosi must be having a feeling of deja vu

  191. B Moe says:

    Stennis replied, “I will be with you. . . . I commend you for what you are doing.”

    Heh.

    I also liked this bit,

    The materials show Nixon as sharp-witted, crude, manipulative and sometimes surprisingly liberal in comparison with mainstream Republicans today. In one letter, he solidly endorses the Equal Rights Amendment, saying that for 20 years “I have not altered my belief that equal rights for women warrant a constitutional guarantee.” The amendment failed.

    The Democrats were solidly in control of Congress then, so Nixon was surprisingly liberal in comparison to the Democrats and Republicans of his day, also, but that point doesn’t further any agendas.
