If you loved the iconic photo….. you will love this video: (H/T HotAir)
I remember a time, when you could not turn on the radio, and not hear this song being played.
Robert Wilson, who as the bassist for the funk and R&B group the Gap Band had a string of hits including “You Dropped a Bomb On Me,” has died. He was 53.He died at his home Sunday in Palmdale, Calif., outside of Los Angeles. He is believed to have died of a heart attack, said Karen Lee, publicist for his brother and Gap Band singer Charlie Wilson.
Wilson provided the bass backbone for the trio, which also included another brother, Ronnie. The group, originally from Tulsa, Okla., first hit the charts in 1979 with the songs “Shake” and “Open Your Mind (Wide).”
They had their biggest success in the 1980s, though, with hits like “Outstanding,” “You Dropped a Bomb On Me,” “Oops Upside Your Head” and “Yearning for Your Love,” among others.
“My brother Robert was a bad boy on the bass,” Charlie Wilson said in a statement released Monday. “We shared a bond as brothers, musicians and friends. I loved him, and losing him is difficult for both Ronnie and I. The music world has lost a very talented man.”
Robert Wilson had been touring for the past few weeks, including a stop in his hometown of Tulsa. — Source NPR
One word…. Awesome. 😀 (H/T HotAir)
The World lost this man:
There have been millions of words remembering Elvis Presley. There are many opinions about the man. However, there is one indisputable fact. Elvis was self made man. Elvis Presley came from utter poverty and made something of himself. Unlike the so-called “Stars” of today, who essentially have their careers handed to them; Elvis worked his butt off to get where he was.
Sadly, Elvis was a tragic victim of his own excesses and is a tragic, sobering, reminder of what excessive drug use will do to a human body. It was, and still is a tragic loss to the music world and the entertainment industry.
There are many people remembering “The King” today. My thoughts are with them all.
Man, do we ever need this one tonight. Whew. 😯
(H/T to The Jawa Report)
I, as a libertarian-type of “Right of Center,” believe that any politician, who even has the remote thought of starting a war; ought to be strapped to a chair and FORCED to watch this video. (I’m talking to YOU Bill Kristol and John and Norman Podhartz!…..and any other damn Wilsonian Conservative out there!)
Time for some Classic Detroit Rock and Roll:
Possibly one of best space jams ever written. The ending to this, is just awesome. 😀
This is unreal:
The Video, which comes via John McCormack over at the Weekly Standard:
For the record, he did say:
I don’t know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican. ‘Kay? Do I need to say more?
Ed Morrissey over at HotAir adds the following:
I have some advice for Senator Reid. If he wants to find out how someone of Hispanic heritage can be a Republican, he can call Brian Sandoval in Nevada. Reid should be able to recognize Sandoval, because he’s currently beating Reid’s son Rory like a drum in the polls for the gubernatorial race (via Karl in the Green Room). Small wonder Rory has stopped using his dad’s name in his campaign advertising.
At first, when I saw this clip, I resisted posting it. Because I was kind of worried that this might be another Sharrod moment. However, after thinking about it. This is exactly how Democrats think. I have heard the same statements made by blacks, about blacks who decide that the Democratic Party is just not for them and runs against their Conservative Christian values. They are called uncle tom’s, house negro’s and so forth. That is, what is called, “the plantation mentality,” and when you stray off of that plantation, you get scolded by the plantation boss. That is because the Democratic Party and Liberals in general, do not what you to think for yourself. The Democratic Party and the Liberals want to do your thinking for you. They want to be the ones to decide what is good for you and what is not. You do not have an personality; you are just a number and a contributor to our master plan!
That is the tragic thing about the Democratic Party. It claims to the party of the people; when in reality it is nothing but the party of the Government, for the Government, and BY the Government — and the people, of who’s tax dollars pay for this Government, has no say so in what they choose to do. “You will do what you are told and you will like it!” is the thought process behind these socialists. The sick and sad part is this; many hard working, middle class Americans, (Like my Parents) fall into the trap of believing what these bastards tell them. These poor people actually believe that the Democratic Party is on their side. When in all honesty, these people do not give two flips about the American people. They just care about their socialist agenda and the people are just an means to an end. Many socialists have admitted that in the past.
We need to remember this in the coming 2010 elections here in Michigan and in the coming 2012 elections as well and vote accordingly.
Michelle Malkin, whom I do not always agree with politically, but of whom I do respect, has a great write up on this as well. Check it out!
This popped into my Inbox from a friend…
I politely informed him that I did not think that it was funny.
Check out the racism imagery and how it is said that Joe Biden will become President.
But the Far-right says, “Oh, we’re not racist!”
Right……………….. 🙄
Watch:
Again, let me be clear. I DID NOT CREATE THIS, IT CAME FROM MY E-MAIL INBOX AND I WANTED TO EXPOSE IT!
I believe that Conservatives should STAND UP and condemn this sort of idiotic nonsense.
A beautiful song from a kinder, gentler era…:
I have written on here before that I was no Sarah Palin fan. I never was, I thought she was a two-bit hypocrite; and I still do.
It seems that a real American has finally stood up to this feckless bitch and told her what Americans really think about her.
The Video:
Palin: like how? What’s up?
Kathleen: You swore on your precious Bible that you would uphold the interests of this state, and then when cash was waved in front of your face, you quit.
Palin: OH, you WANTED me to be your governor! I’m honored! Thank you!
Kathleen: I wanted you to honor your responsibilities. That is what I wanted. I wanted you to be part of the political process instead of becoming a celebrity so that you could (inaudible). And if that’s the best you could do, then good for you. If that’s the best you could do.
Palin: Here’s the deal. Here’s the deal. (inaudible) That’s what I’m out there fightin’ for Americans to be able to have a Constitution protected so that we can have free speech…And ALSO there…
Kathleen: In what way are you fighting for that?
Palin: Oh my goodness!
Kathleen: In what way?
Palin: To elect candidates who understand the Constitution, to protect our military interests so that we can keep on fightin’ for our constitution that will protect some of the freedoms that evidently are important to you too.
Kathleen: By using your celebrity status, certainly not by political status.
Palin Daughter: How is she a celebrity? That’s my question.
Palin: I’m honored! No, she thinks I’m a celebrity!
Palin Daughter: That’s funny that you think she is.
Kathleen: Well, you’re certainly not representing the state of Alaska any longer…even though…
Palin Daughter: She’s representing United States?
Kathleen: Yes, I know. You belong to America now, and that suits me just fine. Yeah.
Palin: What do you do here?
Kathleen: I’m a teacher
Palin: Oh. (Eye roll and protracted grimace)
Palin Daughter: Oh.
Kathleen: I also have a few other jobs. I’m married to a commercial fisherman. And so I fish.
Palin: Oh that’s cool. So am I! I married to-we probably have a lot in common!
Kathleen: Yeah. You know, I think that we do.
Palin: Hi! (waves to camera) Are we on video?
Kathleen: Too bad. I’m more of a still camera girl myself. (inaudible) I am, I am…I will tell you I’m very pleased to meet you.
Palin: I’m honored to meet you, I really am. And, no we both agree on the freedom of speech and the-
Kathleen: Yes we do.
Palin: you know – the protection of that. So, um, no I and, you know… best of everything to you too and Yeah.
Kathleen: Thank you for coming over.
Palin: Well, okay. It’s nice to meet you anyway.
The Story Via the Huffington Post:
Kathleen was motivated by the fact Palin was using the very place where her family makes a living to fortify the Palin personality cult — pretending to do the very thing they worked so hard to sustain. Initially, Kathleen just wanted to waste a little of the camera crew’s time, since Palin wasted so much of her time purporting to represent Alaska’s interests.
She didn’t imagine Palin would be so easy to draw out.
Saturday morning, Billy Sullivan helped Kathleen tape the banner up on his place of business at the top of the boat ramp. Then here she came. Sarah.
She couldn’t just walk by. Only a few fishermen and tourists would have seen the banner, but Sarah had to stop and protest. I spoke with Kathleen. She said she wanted Palin to know how she felt, but never dreamed she’d get the chance to say to her face, “You’re not a leader, you’re a climber!” Early in the conversation, Sarah actually winked at Kathleen in what seemed to be a case of eyelid Tourette’s Syndrome.
At one point, a Palin daughter chanted, “You’re just jealous”. Kathleen told Sarah she was disappointed that she dropped her responsibility to the state to became a celebrity. Palin said incredulously, “I’m honored. No, she thinks I’m a celebrity!” Really? So the camera crew wasn’t an indicator? How many times do you have to be on magazine covers to gain celebrity status? Something about camping with Kate Plus Eight in rain slickers seems, well, a little celebrity.
Billy Sullivan caught much of the interchange on his cell phone camera. The back of her security guard’s head and Todd Palin attempted to block Billy’s view, continually rotating like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. What were they afraid of? I guess that’s what happens when you’re filming a “celebrity”. He was even told by one of the Palin daughters, “You’re an A-hole”. Charming family values.
I asked both Billy and Kathleen which Palin daughter said what. Neither knew. They don’t have televisions and aren’t interested in Palin’s personal life and dramas.
In what has become typical tragic irony, Sarah initially claimed to support Kathleen’s First Amendment Rights. But as soon as Billy Sullivan walked toward the dock, one of Palin’s entourage tore down the sign to great applause from her group.
Todd Palin approached Billy (who owns a business called Dockside Fish and buys halibut on that dock) and asked him to get out of the Discovery crew’s shot. “You just can’t get enough of her, can you?” he asked. An Alaska State Trooper told Billy he should call the Homer Police Department and report the trespassing and destruction of property.
What the Palin folks don’t seem to understand is simple; if Fred Phelps gets to hold his hateful signs up at military funerals, Billy should be able to put Kathleen’s “WORST GOVERNOR EVER” banner on his building and not have a Palin goon tear it down.
The First Amendment only matters when you say or write something someone else doesn’t like.
For someone who doesn’t hold elected office and denies being a celebrity, Sarah Palin may want to get a “Constitutional Handler”.
You know see why I did not vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin; I could not in good conscience, vote for someone like that, ever.
Update: Little Miss Christian Charlatan Responds: (H/T to AllahPundit is obvious swooning over this feckless Bitch’s stupidity…)
The LSM has now decided to use this brief encounter for another one of their spin operations. They claim I – wait for it – “appear to roll my eyes” when the lady tells me she’s a teacher. Yes, it’s come to this: the media is now trying to turn my eyebrow movements into story lines. (Maybe that’s why Botox is all the rage – if you can’t move your eyebrows, your “eye rolling” can’t be misinterpreted!) If they had checked their facts first, they would have known that I come from a family of teachers; my grandparents were teachers, my father was a teacher, my brother is a teacher, my sister works in Special Needs classrooms, my aunt is a school nurse, my mom worked as a school secretary for much of her professional life, we all volunteer in classrooms, etc., etc., etc. Given that family history, how likely is it that I would “roll my eyes” at someone telling me that they too work in that honorable profession? Stay classy, LSM.
…and as usual, the stupid bitch does not get why the liberals are on her ass. The reason is; because of this right here:

Freedom of Speech, not in Sarah Palin's World, only when it is friendly speech. Hey Sarah, what about that Constitution you claim to want to defend? Stupid Bitch......
Nuff Said…
Update #2: I know someone is going to mention this; so I will get it out of the way. I realize you might be reading this and noticing the Palin ads. I can do something to remove them. But, I would cut into my revenue. So, I won’t block Newsmax. You can click and vote no, and I will get paid still. 😀 😛
Update #3: Some on the far right were trying to say that this woman was not even teacher. Well, one of their own corrects them. Don’t expect any correction out this idiot though. This is the same guy who likes to link to White Nationalist websites.
Two Blocks, four blocks, it does not damn matter…
Here is my opinion: (STRONG CONTENT WARNING!)
I saw the above video with the following comment under it:
“And we’re suppose to not think nothing of letting a Mosque to be built near ground zero. These people are really quite arrogant and cruel to us…and they have the gall to say we’re arrogant. The people who suffered because of 9/11 deserve to thought of better than this”
…Let me go on the record as saying….
That I totally and wholeheartedly agree. This is not about religious freedom, nor is it about hating Muslims or Islam. It is about protecting the memories of those who died on September 11, 2001; all 2,976 victims.
United We Stand, divided we fall.
In the name of the God — Do not let this happen.
Update: Memeornadum Thread
Now this is very freaking bizarre. This video below, is a send up, of this movie trailer here. The funny thing is; they both look so very real. 😯 Anyhow, one is actual movie about the creators of Facebook. The send up, is about YouTube. One is real, the other — about YouTube — is a parody.
Folks, I am 38 years old. I have seen the future; and it is very strange. 😀
(H/T To BlogAds on Facebook)
Nothing says soul and blues like the mournful voice of David Ruffin. A tragic story there, if anything, it is a story of what drugs will do to you.
I started to write, “Swapping Rock and Roll Spit,” but I figure ya’ll think I was being a little queer. 😉
Anyhow, responding to this here and here:
Only Bill Idol song that I happen think is worth a flip is….:
Honestly, I really did not much get into Bill Idol. He was, I always said, a, um, Girlie singer… You know chicks dug him, not guys. Gay guys maybe. But I digress. I didn’t think idol was a overly great singer either. Just that Hendrix-type of yelling in tune crap. The music was a bit of that three chord simpleton stuff of the late 70’s and early 80’s.
Now on the other hand, I did and still do like these guys:
And on a more serious note:
Lyrics:
This tired city was somebody’s dream
Billboard horizons as black as they seemFour level highways across the land
We’re building a home for the family of man
And it’s so hard whatever we are coming to
Yes it’s so hard with so little time
And so much to do
Time running out for the family of man
One man to lead us with so much to say
Moving the mountains that got in our way
Prayer books and meetings to find a plan
Deciding the fate of the family of man
Memories replacing the loves that we’ve lost
Burning our bridges as soon as they’re crossed
Factories built where the rivers ran
And time running out for the family of man
In case you don’t get it. That song is basically about suburban sprawl.
I’ve always enjoyed this song… The guitar and overall mix is just great.
I feel the need to write about this, but I am not. I am going to post a video reply.
Over at “The Other McCain”, I saw this headline:
EMERGENCY: SAVE STOGIE!
Aside from the “ZOMG! Eleventy!!!!” element to it. I didn’t think much of it. So, I went over and looked:
Home foreclosures are continuing at a brisk pace, according to an article by McClatchy News. Many of the first foreclosures that began three years ago, when the housing bubble began to burst, were for subprime mortgages. Now, however, a fresh batch of foreclosures is occurring because people have lost their jobs and can’t pay them. I am now in that category. I didn’t pay my July mortgage payment and probably will miss August as well. I haven’t been answering the phone, which rings constantly from bill collectors.
Our savings kept us afloat for a year. When it was gone, I borrowed the equity out of my life insurance. That’s gone too. We were hoping to ride out this recession, to survive until it was over.
This prompted a back and forth between me and Robert Stacy McCain:
Pat
July 31st, 2010 @ 6:30 amMeh, No pity…
Maybe Rupert Murdok or one of his Zionist friends can bail him out.

Robert Stacy McCain
July 31st, 2010 @ 6:50 amDammit, Pat, if you knew what a great guy Stogie is, you wouldn’t say useless crap like that. I was tempted to delete your comment, but I’ll leave it up, just to chastise your conscience when you see the testimonials to Stogie’s valiant character.
Pat
July 31st, 2010 @ 7:10 amI’m sure he is a great guy. But nobody bailed my ass out when I was over 18 grand in the hole back in 2004. I filed for chapter 7 and started over.
I’m just sayin’…
Of course, McCain’s sock puppets came out in full force against me; which is of no surprise.
Here’s my video reply on the subject and my apologies in advance for the poor audio quality and picture:
That’s my opinion, and I welcome yours.
