GOP Insanity Containment: Beets, Gazpacho, and Lube

Once Reps take the house and the voter laws start to get worse AOC and crew should seriously flee. Once the GOP has a lock on both houses of congress and the presidency it is just going to be more and more MTGs until they really do start locking political enemies up on fake charges.

Local media in central FL is dutifully parroting this line. We now have an actual ANTIFA to blame for cop killings because of course

From the Garrison tweet:

The media won’t do their job. Instead of investigating the security agencies they received talking points from them.

Isn’t that basically Chomsky’s main thesis in Manufacturing Consent?

But he is calling for Gwen Berry to be kicked off the Olympic team,

The main plank of the GOP is unabashed hypocrisy about everything.

they are not against cancel culture as a concept. it’s just inconvenient when they themselves or their friends get canceled for stuff.

Yeah I’m wondering how well Trump rallies are going to do in the dead of summer. Nobody on the coasts wants to listen to him (even when not 110 degrees). He’s going to have to hold a lot of rallies in Wyoming and Michigan’s upper peninsula.

This is great, and it led me down the rabbit hole on REO Speedwagon’s original lead singer, and why he left/was kicked out:

Luttrell has said he co-wrote the REO Speedwagon song “Golden Country” with Richrath before leaving the band in 1972. Richrath is listed as the sole writer of the song and vehemently denied that Luttrell was a co-writer. The subject matter of “Golden Country” is actually one of the main issues that led to Luttrell being let go from the band. Luttrell thought that Gary Richrath was writing songs that were too politically motivated, and wanted to focus on less controversial material. Tensions came to a head one night. REO Speedwagon had a gig that was a significant drive from their home in Champaign, Illinois. During the performance, Luttrell became agitated and refused to continue singing. The band was forced to cut the show short. This angered the club owner, and he refused to pay the band for performing. On the drive back, Richrath and Luttrell argued over this for costing the band their performance money, as the money they had left would be spent on gas getting home and they would be completely broke. Luttrell became combative and Richrath ordered the car to be pulled over so he could fight Luttrell. When the car stopped, Luttrell fled into a cornfield. At Richrath’s suggestion, the band drove away and left Luttrell to find his own way home.

Thank God they got Kevin Cronin or the world might have been deprived of I Can’t Fight this Feeling Anymore.

Last night I watched a 30 minute informercial for “Rock Power Ballads” hosted by Kevin Cronin. For some reason I couldn’t turn away. 8 CDs for only 5 easy payments of $29.99! That’s just pennies a song!

The one before it was Mellow 70s Hits or something that was actually pretty cool. Tons of songs I remember from my childhood that you never hear anymore. A lot of them aren’t very good songs per se. But the nostalgia effect was off the charts.
