I like Ike (now probably more than I did then)
(emailed to me by a reader)
I also posted this at Canis Hoopus where the NBA strike is forcing basketball fans to argue about politics.

Politics:
CNN viewers repulsed by GOoPer extortion over the debt ceiling
Herman Cain defends his Honduran-made campaign t-shirts
Some are already speculating that the debt ceiling fiasco could take the steam out of WI recalls, but the facts on the ground seem quite the opposite [more on the dirty absentee voting tricks] [more]
Tea party bringing their clown car tour to Wisconsin (yes, this could be a clean sweep of six seats)
Amazingly, Romney out-hawks Bachmann on the advisor front
Driftglass quotes Paul Muad’Dib on our terrorist Republicans
I passed on the latest Jonah Goldberg column (like I always do), but apparently this one was very special in a very made up way [Wolcott with more on Goldberg]
Fox: birth control like free pedicures
Huckabee acknowledges that the Republican base is off its rocker
A video that reminded me why I was for Edwards in ’08

You’ve probably already seen this, but Robert Grumbine is pointing out that people under the age of 35 have never experienced “normal” temperatures

800 more Starbucks? yeah, that should go over well in a down economy
Nola cop shooters trial coming to an end
Banning left turns: it’s not exactly gaining momentum, but it’s good that people are talking about it
Not big on thumping, but I’d be cool with cops beating the crap out of anyone they caught doing this
Find your seat yet?
Well, here I am again typing away at all hours under my newly imposed austerity program enjoying my senses and self restraint/s…I must admit I enjoy looking at my newly developing typing finger. This is the most exercise mixed with concentration I have had in years.
So anywho I was rolling around in the Netherlands of my iPod and like a bolt of lightning some voice tracks appeared. I will be damned if I did not sense Loki at the ball game pondering his steamroller perched atop the lights in right field.
I got the fuck out of there quick and landed in some crazy fucked up almost electronic field that has some sense of balance and some off beat bass that is refreshing as a daydream.
What year is it?
Look at the ticket how fucking long have they been assigning “section” in general admission?
So…
Ninety-five House democrats for and ninety-five House democrats against the final “deal“.
WTF kind of union is that?
One hundred and seventy four House republicans for and sixty-six House republicans against the final “deal“.
WTF kind of roll is that?
Oh yeah, just in case you were wondering I found some interesting tunes in the Argentina folder under South American punk rock.
But just then as I was getting into it I started “thinking” while listing to the sound my finger makes when it goes solo on my keyboard typing away in the background, it occurred to me add a six (the new half of the yet to be anointed Super Congress) to 66 and you got 666.
Then take the 174 and divide by 12 (the number of the yet to be anointed Super Congress) and you get 14.50 which is exactly divided by half (half and half just like the yet to be anointed Super Congress ) the federal minimum wage of $7.50.
Go figure?
Hope you are ready for austerity ‘cause if I am guessing right and not just really, really, high right now I am getting the warm fuzzy feeling of more division in the near future. Shared sacrifice and all you know.
Hold on to this post Wege and time stamp on it. I think I might have just had a cool conspiracy but then again….heck with any luck it will spread like herpes and you can take credit for it! Is that cool or what?
Fuck you could even write some far fucking out trilogy or something and get some free press roll via the “mystery’s” of science and conspiracy. I just love fucking math!
The peaceful not at fault small “a” anarchists children’s bicycle union will love it! That is once they figure out how to feed themselves while getting out of the way of the world.
Hey, do the math? Am I high or what?
Then go generic and go with Acyclover. Take three a day in times of stress before you devolve into an outbreak and start spreading contagions.
I better get back to my solo finger typing back beat overlay sampler sound and skip around a bit more on the iPod as I know I left something behind in Latvia that I have not been able to root out for some time in my filing system.
That photo should include Obama, too. It’s weird to think that the first black president, a Democrat, is to the right of Ike.
I was going to say, bigdaddy.
And thanks, Wege for posting the Edwards clip. I was for Edwards in 2008 too and the clip reminded me why. Funny, Obama sounded sort like that too during the election. Edwards said what the problem is out loud and Obama seemed to echo the same ideas. I wonder how people can wonder why we think we got rolled.
And remember children, by the standards of our modern radical billionaire enablers, King Ronnie the Stupid was a liberal and King Richard the Evil was a Socialist.
damn must still be high….i just found fifty cents
i wonder if i can print a dollar?
Latia was trance like good
