I’ve been striving mightily not to watch as the GOP continues eating itself alive — it will get around to its big orange asshole tomorrow — but Lord, is it ever a tough ol’ slog.
All my usual news feeds are awash in pomposity, prevarication and psychosis. Not even the Tour could cheer me up today, and I took little pleasure in being proved correct when I predicted early on that Tejay van Gardenhose would enjoy his usual jour sans. Even an old, blind dog can unearth a moldy Milk-Bone now and then.
Tonight’s speakers list is a veritable Murderers’ Row of mendacity: Koch-sucker Scott Walker, Marco 3P0, Texas Ted Cruz the Gucci Shitkicker, veep-in-waiting Mike “Deadeyes” Tuppence, and Newt and Callista Gingrich, who probably have never starred in an adult movie titled “Mr. Toad Boinks a Robot,” no matter what you’ve heard about the uptick in porn consumption during the GOP confab in Cleveland, City of Light, City of Magic.
A red moon rising indeed. I think I’ll go crawl under my bed now.
Mad Blog Media 
I’ve ignored the GOP convention entirely. Afraid I might shoot the radio, and it is too nice a radio to shoot.
KUNM has completely FUBARed its schedule to accommodate this little shop of horrors. I miss my morning dose of “Performance Today.”
Yeah. KUNM is on my shit list.
Early to bed, early to rise (LUG) makes a man………………..tough to finish this one……writer’s block I guess! 🙂
Crazy. Makes a man crazy. I’m not sure when I woke up this morning but it was too bloody early, that’s for sure. That big ol’ moon peeking in my window looked just like Newt Gingrich.
I listened, on NPR, to bits and pieced of the first night, but like I said in an earlier comment on your previous post, once the dump trump folks lost their last chance, I turned it off. If the oligarch’s intent is to drive voters away from the polls, they are doing a damn good job. Look to Greece to see what happens next.
Just looked at the headlines. Lyin’ Ted done spit in the Dumpster’s soup.
Spit? He should have shit in the soup.
Something about his NYC accent … every time Drumpft says his veep’s name, it sounds like My Pants.
Not watching any of it, but reading the 538 summary. Sounds like Will Roger’s joke about not belonging to an organized political party is a universal condition these days.
Rick Astley lyrics in speeches, twice.
Blue screen of death during a headliner’s speech.
We know a group of 70 year old white guys aren’t going to have any rhythm, but totally FUBARing every rehearsed call-and-response.
Wouldn’t let these guys run the rec center in East Bumfuck, Nebraska. Can’t believe we’re talking about giving them the nuke codes
Rick Astley? “Never gonna tell a lie, Never gonna make you cry” ?
I’ve said it many times & I’ll say it again, your politics scare the shit out of me. On the positive side, Joe Biden has just visited & said that regardless of our no Nukes stance, ya’ll will send a ship down here. Time to polish up my “Bonjour Matelot”

Graham, (lead vocals), took over his mother’s bookshop up the road & played at the local coffee shop. Top bloke, died of a heart attack this year.
Sorry, in case the above is a bit cryptic

Regardless, take this ya’ll
I think the first haka I ever saw was in “Once Were Warriors.” Quite a film.
The sequel, “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?” was equally powerful. They’re both an extremely accurate portrayal of a section of New Zealand society
I’m gonna have to have a look at that one. “Once Were Warriors” was a stunner.
And if the politics here wasn’t scary enough, sorry Hurben, Hastings Entertainment will be liquidated and closed, all stores. Another brick and mortar outfit closed by online sales. I will miss them.

So it seems that il Douche has them all enthralled. I had a haircut today at a salon that I have used for more years than you would want to know. A patron came in for her appointment to have her gray dyed orange and began “Talking Trump”. It was all I could do to not shout STFU. A Tony Hillerman novel saved me from making a scene, and her hairdresser soon had her under a dryer so she couldn’t hear what everyone thought of her outburst.
I hear you Dale, and the political zealot won’t reflect on their choice or listen to the other side. The real pity is that a polite political discussion and exchange of ideas and information didn’t happen at the salon.
