Eddie Van Halen!

 The first time I heard that shredding guitar was back in 1978 when disco was ending and rock was still dead but for a few hangers on. I was a radio jock at the time playing college radio music that consisted of deep cuts and one hit wonders. A new single came in from some group named Van Halen and I put it on. Runnin With The Devil.. The guitar was phenomenal. The singer was phenomenal. The backing vocals were spot on. I was a fan.

Eddie Van Halen died yesterday after defying his lifestyle's inevitable end for years. The loss is devastating to us old rockers. While Van Halen survived 3 different lead singers (amazing) Eddie remained the reason they never faded away. That guitar whether it was Runnin With The Devil or Panama or Hot For Teacher or And the Cradle Will Rock or even the shredding he did for Beat It was never disappointing. The videos with Eddie's goofy grin, such a contrast to the preening schmoe David Lee Roth.

I am gonna miss that talent but we always have the songs. The songs! We have the songs!

Balcony Don!

 There he was. Gasping for air, Removing his mask. Such a manly man. Sick with a deadly virus but still doing his Mussolini impression. It was disgusting.

The man is a psycho. A Super Spreader willing to take everybody down with him in an effort to stay out of jail. The Filthbag in Chief , full of Covid and god knows what else, took off his mask and lumbered off into the White House to infect even more of his slaves  staffers. The fact is this nutjob is such a megalomaniac is a National Security threat as well as a threat to anybody in his circle. His adoring cultists, who he obviously doesnt care about (disgusting people) stand on corners bellowing they will die for this 300 lb lump of ooze. Those people are mentally gone, much like the remaining Germans who sort of enjoyed the smell of burning flesh.

Trump is done. He can suck up the oxygen and then make videos about how he's better now than 20 years ago all he wants. Whats coming soon enough (27 days) is the destruction of a mad regime of vandals and looters. The gravy train is coming to an end for these thieves and grifters. Their cult leader is months away from being in prison where he has belonged for 40 years.

That is, if he lives through this pandemic.

Knock Knock! Whos There? Covid! Come On In!

 When RBG died, Mitch McConnell popped a turtle boner so large his shell exploded. While Democrat and decent people mourned a legend, Republicans and vampire like conservatives began to plot how they could reverse RBG's life's work quicker than $99 overnight shipping from a Corporate delivery service. RBG's famous last words , per her granddaughter, were something along the lines of "my most fervent wish is that the lump of toxic goo in the White House and his traitorous collaborators wait till after they get crushed to let Joe Biden replace me".....or something like that. But because this President is a peasant and a narcissist Visigoth all in one, he quickly called the last words a fake news story and blamed Shifty Schiff or Cryin Chuck. Who ya gonna believe? RBG's granddaughter or the Pathological Liar in Chief?

So the Worst Showman In Chief couldn't just announce his choice to shit all over RBG's memory in the White House room he did with the last unqualified rube , it had to be an in your face outdoor ceremony with Republican collaborators in attendance squeezed together like a tube of toothpaste. It doesnt matter the nominee is a backwards thinking phony intent of pissing all over RBG's accomplishments by making America White Male Supremacist Again. What does matter is the horror movie next few days that the Screamer in Chief had.

His tax returns dropped showing he is as big of a deadbeat tax cheat as we all knew. He yelled for 90 minutes at whatever would listen during a debate making no sense, lying and spitting germs and deadly viruses at his opponent while his unmasked crime family looked on. Melania Trump tapes came to the forefront with her being as big an asshole as the rest of the mob family she married in to.

Then came Covid . After 6 months of denying science, denying reality, putting people at risk to boost his ego, and pushing quack cures like a common preacher, the Unmasked Moron in Chief got what he'd been asking for. Covid 19. Only problem was he wasnt the only one. The In Your Face Owning The Libs SCOTUS event was THE Super Spreader event of the year.  Lee, Kellyanne, Johnson, Jenkins, Thillis, Stepien, Melanie, Hicks, Christie and who knows who else got the bug. By dancing on the not even buried RBG's memory these arrogant pricks got what they thought their white privilege selves were immune to.  

Now I want the Clodhopper in Chief to fully recover. Fully. I want him to be able to go to the debates and holler at clouds again. I want him to get crushed on November 3rd. I want him to be indicted and I want him to go to prison. Like it should be intended by life.

This Clive Barker type craziness where RBG's spirit kills them all is tempting. But its not real,

Too fuckin bad these pompous money grubbers spent the last 6 months daring a virus to come and get me.

Next time you push forward an 18th century minded woman to own the libs, make sure she isn't a Typhoid Amy.

Sayers And Gibby!

 Hey I come from a the worlds biggest small town. Omaha. Back when I was a young un the pride of my hometown was virtually nobody. We were a quiet unassuming folk and went about our lives voting Republican and knowing everyone knew their place. This a segregated city to this day, however back in the 60s it was far worse. But man, did we have heroes who made it once they left the chains of Omaha.

Gale Sayers died two weeks ago after suffering from dementia for years. Sayers was from North Omaha and was a football star at Omaha Central. He spurned Nebraska because like now, they sucked, and went south to Kansas where he became an All American. I wish I could say I was old enough to remember Sayers running 99 yards for a TD against the Nebraska team he said no to in 1963. That record, of course, still stands to this day in Lincoln. 

Sayers went to my favorite NFL team, Da Bears, after his stellar career at KU and tghrilled everyone in my household. My Mom wasnt even a pro football fan yet tuned in every week the the Bears were on just to watch Gale Sayers run. He was unlike anything we'd ever seen. 18 inches of daylight. Watch that and remember it was 1965. Unreal even now. Sayers blew out his knee in 1969 and before the advent of  reconstructive surgeries, it ruined him. He remains the youngest man ever admitted to to the NFL Hall of Fame when in 1977 he was 34. 

God he was thrilling.

Bob Gibson was my jam. Baseball was my jam. And laying in bed at night and moving the dials of a transistor radio just so on good clear nights I could get the St Louis radio broadcast of any game Bob Gibson pitched. As you can tell from the picture, every pitch Gibby threw made it look all of his extremities were going to fly off. The mound and the plate were his ,goddamit ,and you better respect that or face the consequences.

Bob Gibson was mean as hell. He absolutely refused to lose, Im sure when he saw current players talking to the  opponent before games he was infuriated, Thats the enemy!

1968 made the baseball gurus CHANGE THE RULES because of Bob Gibson, He was 22-9 and had a 1.12 ERA. He had 13 shutouts. He was so utterly dominant they lowered the mound to give the hitters a chance. Incredible as 1.12 was, the stat that amazed me even more was 9 teams actually beat him. How?

Now hes gone too.

My childhood is becoming sadder.

Da Bait Da Bait!

Look it was all  about him. Nobody cared what Joe Biden said. Oh some of us were hoping the younger version of Joe would tell the 2 Year Old in Chief to go fuck himself but thats not the Democratic way. The Democrats are playing defense now, just letting the Tax Cheat in Chief hang himself and for Joe to say what most of us wanted him to say and that involved the F bomb wasnt happening. Joe has become an elder statesman and quite boring and just what we need.

I admit the sight and sound of that rabid orange primate makes me crazy and I couldnt last more than 5 minutes at a time before I wanted to fly to Cleveland and kick that baboons ass on live TV. The parts I did see involved a neutered moderator trying to hold onto a bucking horse that had no intention of calming down and a Democratic candidate just plain embarrassed to be there.

I heard the Criminal in Chief hollering about Hunter Biden taking billions from Ukraine and China so much and a Joe Biden quietly calling the false report as "descredited" instead of calling the screaming Spider Monkey a fucking liar. I heard the Felon in Chief gently told by scared moderator Chris "Hardly his Dad" Wallace that he wasnt going to like the question like he was dealing with a temper tantrum throwing 2 year old instead of saying answer the fucking question Mr President Toddler.

I tuned out until the last 20 minutes when I went back and resumed being ashamed to be an American. The Hunter Biden bullshit continued even thru a moving tribute attempt by Joe to honor his dead son, a loser and a sucker to Trump fans. How would this go?  Surely the Chimp in Chief would allow.......oh hell no he started reaching in his Depends and throwing his poo against the wall again, what should we expect? Somewhere in rural America there's a barn full of uneducated oafs cheering on this insult to decency. 

And then something I never expected happened. Trump was actually human? Nope. The Ape in Chief threw himself against the glass and scared  the shit out of everyone watching. Given the opportunity to condemn white supremacists and specifically the Loser Proud Boys, a group of lamebrains who practice their racial superiority by beating each other up and carrying big guns and playing tough guy. Trump got flustered, told them to "stand back and stand by" and began screeching about Antifa and the radical left again. Even my jaw dropped. What? "I condemn white supremacist violence and all violence no matter what side it comes from"...........How fucking hard was that to say? For a fascist bigot like the Orangutan in Chief, apparently impossible.

This whole thing needs not be repeated. We know whats going to happen. We will get Trumps standard rally speech and Biden will stand there saying keep going. Nobody needs that on a world stage again.

What the hell, Canada or Britain or Germany, Invade us and liberate us from this insanity. The people of this country sure as fuck wont.

Juggler In Chief!

Nobody can keep juggling forever. At some point one will drop then the rest. Donald Trump, thanks to the New York Times diligent reporters, has been exposed as the fraud he has always been. Some of us knew the Deadbeat in Chief was a blowhard so far in debt even payday lenders would go whoaaaa.

Hillary tried to tell us this in 2016, that the Moocher in Chief hadnt paid any taxes to the federal government in years (to which Trump said "makes me smahhhht"). Nobody listened to the warnings from the 3 million vote winner because quite frankly, tax laws are boring as shit. 

But now, with real numbers put forth by the New York Times, it appears the Leech in Chief forked over $750 twice in last 15 years to settle his tax debt. For fucks sake, I sent more than that this year and that was after I'd already forked over thousands and the only Tower I own is one that blows air on me when its hot.

Look we all know tax code is written by the plutocrats and their Congressional whores. Its written to make them richer through a series of loopholes and dodges that reduces any tax burden to a mere pittance of what you pay. So the next time Uncle Maga tries and tell you that the rich pay all the taxes tell him to stuff the stuffing up his ass.

The Sponge in Chief took in so much money during those years, per him, yet somehow lost it all and then more is everything some of us already knew about. He is one shitty businessman, For chrissakes he bankrupted casinos. The guy is not only a scumbucket, hes a lousy scumbucket. Oh god, taxes are so fucking boring  but some of this shit is priceless.

$70K a year for somebody to wrangle that mess on his head? Paying Ivanka $700k to "consult" then write it off? That alone is sending him to prison and hopefully her too. Losing millions and millions and taking on debt from who knows and getting 70 million in refunds from his own country and then calling said country "stupid".

Holy Club Fed, Batman. Only the most dim of us still stand behind this Parasite in Chief and theres plenty. Behind the scenes fascists have had their puppet strings stretched to the limit and will soon abandon him once this crazy handmaiden is installed to the Court and their authoritarian philosophy is ingrained into law. Then theres the white supremacists at his rallies. They still support him because he still appeals to their fears and bigotry .

This is the great question for the future. What did you do when a bankrupt Grifter stole all your dignity, money, and appealed the worst of your psyche. Huh? What did you do?

40% of the country will not have an answer. But that will be nothing new since they have been flim flammed from the go. Nobody wants to admit they are dumb. Even if they are.

Il Douche!

 Well he said it. Peaceful transition once he gets his ass beat is not happening. Unless you get rid of the ballots.

Il Douche continues to hold rallies for dummies. He's getting his cultists to cheer the shooting of journalists, the lying about his accomplishments, his goals and himself. He continues to sign pieces of paper and calling it a health care plan or a $200 bribe to seniors while knowing its no different than writing a stupid idea on a cocktail napkin after about 6 vodkas. He continues to send his spineless sycophants out to lie for him on TV. And now hes told us he aint leaving and hes going to do so by unleashing his personal goon lawyer on states with mail in voting.

Look, I would like nothing more than to see his crooked ass dragged out of the White House in chains but thats not happening either. He has too many traitorous Republican enablers standing there unwilling to stand up and say oh come on. 

We have Mitch McConnell and Beggin Lindsey Graham saying the "winner" of the election will be sworn in, no problem, but not stating what "winner" means. I mean I may be getting paranoid but these Republican liars have led us astray so many times why believe them now? My expectations are so low I wouldnt be surprised if Republicans rolled fat militia members down the streets shooting anybody with an Antifa "look" or anyone who looks like they might vote Biden.

Our own loudmouth phony Republican Senator , former Runza salesman Ben Sasse (Pseudo Intellectual-Ne) dismissed Trumps threats as "he says crazy stuffs". Yeah Ben, he says "crazy stuff" and he has nuclear codes in his power. No wonder you support him 96% while calling him rude.

Many others did what they have been doing since 1992. Holler "Clinton" or "Hillary" and get the base all gizzed up for war. When faced with a fascist maniac out of control you simply scream wellllll what about this? E mails, deplorables, Hillary, Benghazi!!

This will end. It has to end.

But just in case, I am hoarding Bumblebee tuna and soup.
