Music Monday: For Trayvon

After this I hope to shut up forever about Trayvon Martin and/or George Zimmerman. In the meantime, here’s some of the better things that I have recently read. I particularly like this one, since it supports my position that a hip carry law would be preferable to concealed carry (Trayvon and any normal person would have run from a man with a gun on his hip!). Oh, and if you don’t think race was a factor, get your head out of the ground.

In Closing: yet more about spying on Americans and others; on the economy; and top secret vacuum cleaner.

Music Monday: Rockwell the Prophet.

Here, have a nice heaping helping of NSA and Snowden items, with a side order of international reprocussions.

Music Monday: Happy Birthday, Neighbor!

It’s Canada Day!

Insert joke about saying “aboot” here, eh?

In Closing: Pot; the economy is bad enough that we have to buff it out with Kardashians; Google Reader is dead.

Cognitive Dissonance

Hey Christians, can you do me a favor and stop pretending this song has anything to do with Jesus?

Ok, yeah, Light of the World. I get it. The lost without him thing. I get that too.

But there’s no way around the fact that none of you can think of a reason it would be appropriate to say “How can it be wrong when it feels so right” to Jesus.

In Closing: more nonsense they want to stick in the immigration “reform” bill; information coming out confirming what some people already suspected, Bank of America was actively trying to screw underwater homeowners; sociological research; and cheetahs.

Music Monday: Too Soon?

Yeah, too soon, People Magazine:

Edit: Apologies. When I wrote the post, the cover was Boston Marathon Amputees, only one of whom was so much as fitted for a prosthetic yet.

So one too soon deserves another:

In Closing: Insert that famous Ben Franklin quote here, and have a side order of PRISM.

Music Monday: I Love Trash

Thank Jukkou for this one:

In Closing: Must see pictures from Turkey; Always Low Wages; Four Horsemen; Duhpartment of Research shows young people are generally progressive; right, because I totally am going to go to a drugstore for sushi and a makeover</sarcasm>; food stamps are a good thing (heh); tax breaks; I kinda like this lady’s style; and how lazy do you have to be for this to seem like a good idea?

Music Monday: Someday Catchy Tune Warfare will be Banned

Ladies and Gentlemen and Muppets of all ages, Will.i.am.

Holy Toledo… I mean Cleveland

I’ve mentioned MC Lars before, but it’s been a while. He still rocks.

Trying really hard not to wade in the pond scum of the Rescued Cleveland Girls story, but WTF, abduction day cake? Thankfully, their lawyer (singular?) has announced that they will give NO public statements about what happened until the criminal case is done. Please, please remember that this is all over the news because it’s unusual! Young people don’t go missing every day. Stranger abductions happen maybe 15 times a year in the US; far more common is abduction by a family member, running away, or just plain getting lost.

Music Monday: I like the song but could do without the vocals

Seriously, what exactly does that add?

In closing: grey area; the rich get richer; yeah right; la la la la la la la la; and Masako-sama.

Springtime

Taken in my back yard with a “potato”*. At least one lantana is starting to bloom, which means the hummingbird and butterfly buffet will soon be in full swing.

In Closing: Why doesn’t Johnny just go to broadway and get it over with?; Save Our Post Office; Wingnut screaming about how if we had Russian wiretap laws we could have prevented Boston in 3…2…1…; there just has to be a middle ground between “college for all” (value of a degree for none) and “you are clearly doomed to menial labor because of your race/ethnicity/gender”; the monolithic “left“; dumbass; Compare and Contrast.

* Derogatory term for certain cell phone cameras.
