Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (5/24/16) [Misanthropic Humanitarian]Welcome to the Maetenlochless, Tasteless, Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll Edition of the ONT. When it is Twofer-Tuesday, be careful for what you wish for. And you know who you are. Don't you? Even a bag doesn't work covering Yoko. Nice try Howard. Twofer photos and videos, how tasteless was that? ROCK N ROLL Happy Birthday Bob Dylan! Still working hard and entertaining fans. Rockers who uttered sensible things. Or as Maetenloch would say, quotes of the day. Quote 1 Where you have the most armed citizens in America, you have the lowest violent crime rate. Where you have the worst gun control, you have the highest crime rate. -Ted Nugent Quote 2 Hopping the fence or wading the Rio Grande River isn't part of America's immigration process. -Ted Nugent Quote 3 Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff. -Frank Zappa Quote 4 It isn't necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice. There are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia -Frank Zappa Quote 5 I'm really terrible with small children; they're small, noisy, irritating, damp and soggy. -Ian Anderson (of Jethro Tull) Quote 6 What I've learned about marriage: You need to have each other's back; you have to be a kind of team going through life. -Tom Petty Quote 7 Inspiration is hard to come by. You have to take it where you find it. -Bob Dylan The most iconic rock concert of all time, Woodstock. Here's a partial listing of who performed and their reported pay day. Joan Baez was paid $10,000. I would have paid her $11,000 not to attend. Canned Heat – $6,500 So how musical are you? Do you play an instrument? Force fed piano lessons as a child? Or do you just play a mean old stereo that has you on first name basis with the neighbor and responding cop? Your musical tastes examined. When we identify ourselves with the music we love, we are really telling people about who we are on a deeper level. The Who's "My Generation" had a line that went "I hope I die before I get old". My goodness how the time has passed. How much make up, botox and hair color can you spot? DRUGS Legal pot boring? Not to mention the business is dominated by white men, full of injustice and inequality. Grannies smoking pot for the first time. As marijuana becomes more acceptable just another person to avoid on the roads. Watch driving skills deteriorate with pot consumption. Videos are from Washington state where marijuana consumption is legal. The AoSHQ and the ONT are not responsible for the content of these videos. Nor do these videos represent the views or beliefs of the AoSHQ, it's management, staff, bartenders, parents, pets or advertisers. SEX India, the new sex change destination. Something tells me this poor soul needed serious couch time rather than a date with a fillet knife. Unrealistic sex with Bill Burr. Battle of the sexes, or why husbands require supervision. Lonely and out of shape? Try a sex-based exercise program Do these therapists find themselves in legal hot water for discriminating against the Amy Schumers, Lindsey Wests and Trigglypuffs of the world?? Discovery could be a bitch. Tonight's ONT brought to you by misogynistic men, dangerous dames, lethal ladies and warrior women. SJWs need not apply. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

As I said in the morning thread, he just completed a tour of Japan, he will start a U.S. tour next week, and he has a brand new album out. Sounds like he's not contemplating retirement at the moment. Far from it. He's just getting warmed up. I've said repeatedly that his albums over the last ten years or so rank among the best of his career. Here's a nice live version of "Spirit On The Water" from his 2006 album "Modern Times". It's an audience recording so the sound quality is not the best, but it's not bad. That's Bob on piano. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnOYqqeP7wQ Posted by: rickl at May 24, 2016 10:20 PM (sdi6R) 116

Someone should post the Yoko/Chuck Berry video link..
I've been in bands or mostly single acoustic pub gigs since the mid sixties.. most of the single stuff or with a partner was 70's. At least venues paid the musicians back then.. Nowadays, they require the musicians to bring a crowd of followers and don't pay shit.. they get the "exposure". Fuck that. I never played for free unless it was a charity gig. $50- $100 a night back in the 70's put food on the table in addition to my day job.. I was tired a lot.. lol!

Nope.

I eventually put him in his place.... Love is a complicated thing....and evidently my life was simple by way of comparison to Lennon's. Posted by: sven10077 at May 24, 2016 10:31 PM (g8Hfr) 157

@votermom, seems like none of the Beatles had tons of hits as solo artists.
Paul McCartney probably had the longest/best run, but even he had apparently run out of steam by 1984. He also had a lot of help from Michael Jackson in the 1980s. And let's face it, Lennon's "Starting Over" and other hits of the 1980s were probably boosted by, sadly enough, his untimely death. People wanted to show their support.

I dunno, I think Lennon was really growing up a bit. Unfortunately not long after that, he got killed.
I like to think that if he had survived, by now he'd be long divorced from Yoko and also much more of a libertarian. My hunch is he'd be big on gay rights but also 2A rights, that kind of thing. Posted by: qdpsteve at May 24, 2016 10:59 PM (ntObR) 272

They all (excepting Ringo, I think) relied on the others to be critical and to weed out their weaker stuff. They had common ground musically, but their tastes and styles were pretty diverse. It wasn't just the collaboration on tunes that made it work, it was also the filtering process. Once they broke up, there was nobody who had the guts to tell them a song sucked.

You do understand that at the time, $6,000 was about the average working man's wage for a year? So they got a decent payday for a 3 day job out in the middle of nowhere and that in retrospect put a lot of the acts on the charts.
When I got out of the Navy in 1970 I went to work in a factory at 2.40 and hour. That's about 80 bucks a week before taxes. So my yearly wage was about $4,000. And I considered myself doing well for having no skills. (no Virginia, the military rarely provides skills that can be directly monetized in civilian life. You learn a lot of other skills that help but knowing how to operate a missile radar isn't a civilian job classification.) Just thought I'd add some perspective for you younguns out there.

But, because she and George divorced early on during his success, he pretty much cut her out of everything ever after as a result: the process, the credit, etc etc. It's sad. Posted by: qdpsteve at May 24, 2016 11:09 PM (ntObR) 301
Lennon underwent a reformation and threw off the leftism for capitalism.
Neither Lennon nor Macca wrote as well after the team broke up. Sir George Martin was responsible for the sound of the Beatles during their best period. Without him, they would have just been another pop rock band. His work on Sgt. Pepper's is the stuff of legend amongst producers.

Who wrote the Taxman? Lennon or McCartney? Even if McCartney wrote it, if Lennon was that much of a commie, I doubt he would have agreed to recording it.

His wife at the time and a team of troubleshooting editors went in and saved Star Wars.... the guys were veterans of B film western creation which was a two week process total. Her role was to tell them what parts Lucas had to have in without having a breakdown or breaking the story's continuity "irreparably"..... Quite a trick of filmcraft frankly. Lucas very much downplays the Studio's forcing this on him of course. Posted by: sven10077 at May 24, 2016 11:10 PM (g8Hfr) 305

One of the problems with the Beatles in the late 1960s: Harrison was sick of Lennon/McCartney *never* allowing him more than *one* song per album.

Posted by: Meremortal, Someone's French sucks at May 24, 2016 11:09 PM IMHO they all did continue to write as well as the band days. The thing is, actual songwiting amongst them ceased around the mid 60's. Apart from the occasional tune, that is. After the touring stopped, most songs were written entirely independently, with the others contributing to arrangement and whatnot. What makes their Beatles stuff look better is, post Beatles, they had to fill an entire LP on their own, every year or so. With the band, only a handful, at most would make the cut. If you go through their solo catalogue, year by year and make up a 42 minute LP of their best stuff, you get a "new" Beatles LP. It's true. Try it. No padding.

otho, that is true re a "new" Beatles LP.
I saw it so long ago... but sometime around 2005 I saw on the web a graphic: an album titled "The Beatles 1971-75." It was a *third* greatest-hits album, green, and the cover was in the style of the Red Album and the Blue Album. Don't know if it was just a mock-up or an actual bootleg, but I'd assume if it ever was a real album, it was entirely the best-ofs of all four members' solo recordings up to that time.

I knew that John Lennon met Reagan at a football game in the seventies and that the two of them got along famously.
I've also read that Lennon was an avid watcher of Billy Graham crusades and once told Yoko that he had become a born-again Christian. Yoko put the kibosh on Lennon's TV viewing and distracted him. According to this article from The Daily Mail, Lennon became a conservative in the late seventies. I take it with a grain of salt, but it rings a bit true. http://dailym.ai/27RSbPJ Posted by: Michael the Hobbit at May 24, 2016 11:27 PM (nvMvs) 361

I used to be a libertarian, but I've come to realize the concept of "victimless crime" is a damned lie. Decriminalize weed and you don't get a society of enlightened cheerful hippies. You get a bunch of dysfunctional stoners because making it easier for fuckups to fuck themselves up means more fuckups. Decrmininalize prostitution and you don't get a society of healthy guilt-free hedonism, you get people incapable of actual relationships, you get massive STD rates, and you get women viewing themselves as commodities to be sold. Legalize gay marriage and you don't get stable same-sex relationships, you get the eternal ratcheting-up of faggot "transgressiveness" and another blow to religion; you get the brutal fist of the State forcing people to applaud degeneracy.
Ever since 1980 I've heard liberals hyperventilating about the menace of the "far right" in this country. I've heard dire warnings about theocracy about to descend on us. At this point I can't wait. I want to see liberals silenced by force for a change. I want to see the things they hold dear smashed and mocked and degraded before their eyes. I want to see them keeping silent out of fear. I want to see them brutalized by thugs who know they won't be punished. I want to see their classes disrupted by screaming goon squads. I want to see their politicians obscenely mocked and slandered. I want them to realize the laws won't save them. I want every fucking liberal in America to have their faces ground in the dirt the way they've been grinding the flag of this country in the dirt.

Posted by: sven10077 at May 24, 2016 11:22 PM (g8Hfr) I'm not a real fan of the Carpenter's music but Karen's voice is one of my guilty joys. She could sing the Dallas phone book and I would buy the album. She was one heck of a drummer too. There are quite a few videos on YouTube of Karen showcasing her singing and drumming. Their original Christmas album (the short one, not the padded one) has been in my top 5 album list for decades. Richard was dealing with his own personal demons at the time and farmed out the arrangements to others. It's a great album and, other than one original song, doesn't have that dated Carpenter's sound. Posted by: Michael the Hobbit at May 24, 2016 11:47 PM (nvMvs) 420

sven, Carpenter would not have done well against those early 1980s acts. OTOH, she probably wouldn't have had to; she might have simply gone in a different direction. I'd also imagine by now, she'd be a *yuge* draw on the casino performing circuit, similar to Juice Newton and Sheena Easton today.
Remember Linda Ronstadt's "What's New" album? Linda basically gave up on pop stardom by 1984 and started embracing various older genres of music. Don't know if Karen would ever have gone espanol however. :-) Posted by: qdpsteve at May 24, 2016 11:54 PM (ntObR) 442

Had a visitor this evening. From St. Simons Island, Georgia, of all places. Went to the hotel in town for a couple of beers, this guy comes in, toting a tablet computer in a bag, and sits at the bar, and asks for a good local beer. Waitress served him a Kokanee (haaack, ptui, but I digress), and conversation commenced. Turned out he was stuck in town for the night because the travel trailer he was hauling lost a wheel bearing. He's parked across the road from the tire shop, and the owner of the tire shop had searched the bearing number, and ordered one from Calgary, to arrive tomorrow. I told him that if the bearing fails to arrive, or if the wrong one arrives, to call me, because I have a fair number of miscellaneous NOS bearings on hand, plus many used ones that could get him at least as far as Edmonton, where the odds of getting the correct new bearing would be better.
Anyway, we got to chatting, and I mentioned that I hoarded such parts because I collect Studebakers, and other odd vehicles, and keeping mechanical parts on hand goes with the territory. So he came out and viewed the collection, and took some pics that he's going to put up on his FB page. He's on this trip because he is acting as roadie and back-trailer for a group of 11 senior citizens who are bicycling all the way from Cut Bank, Montana to Anchorage, Alaska. His posse is 60 miles up the road in the hotel in Bashaw, Alberta tonight. The gentleman is a retired police officer. So we had a very nice, but all too brief, visit.

The link about giving specific instructions to husbands was great and pretty funny. But I lost it on hanging the mirror. It took a few minutes before I could catch my breath from laughing so hard. I'm 6'5" and the lovely Mrs. JTB is five feet even. She didn't laugh. But she did remind me about the time I left her a note ON TOP of the fridge. Hey! I could see it plainly.

455 Had a visitor this evening. From St. Simons Island, Georgia, of all places. Went to the hotel in town for a couple of beers, this guy comes in, toting a tablet computer in a bag, and sits at the bar, and asks for a good local beer. Waitress served him a Kokanee (haaack, ptui, but I digress), and conversation commenced. Turned out he was stuck in town for the night because the travel trailer he was hauling lost a wheel bearing. He's parked across the road from the tire shop, and the owner of the tire shop had searched the bearing number, and ordered one from Calgary, to arrive tomorrow. I told him that if the bearing fails to arrive, or if the wrong one arrives, to call me, because I have a fair number of miscellaneous NOS bearings on hand, plus many used ones that could get him at least as far as Edmonton, where the odds of getting the correct new bearing would be better.
Anyway, we got to chatting, and I mentioned that I hoarded such parts because I collect Studebakers, and other odd vehicles, and keeping mechanical parts on hand goes with the territory. So he came out and viewed the collection, and took some pics that he's going to put up on his FB page. He's on this trip because he is acting as roadie and back-trailer for a group of 11 senior citizens who are bicycling all the way from Cut Bank, Montana to Anchorage, Alaska. His posse is 60 miles up the road in the hotel in Bashaw, Alberta tonight. The gentleman is a retired police officer. So we had a very nice, but all too brief, visit.

I've long had a problem with Joan Baez. She has a beautiful voice for acapella signing like 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot' at Woodstock. But she is such a flake she distracts from the enjoyment.

Posted by: sven10077 at May 24, 2016 11:49 PM (g8Hfr) She did some solo albums after they broke up and they were mostly sung in a higher register than her trademark alto. The albums didn't do so well and, though I've heard them, nothing stuck me as special. So I guess I was exaggerating when I said I would pay to hear her sing the Dallas phone book. I saw a biography of her many years ago and she apparently led a troubled life. Very sad. Posted by: Michael the Hobbit at May 25, 2016 12:12 AM (nvMvs) 471
A little bit of analysis on the ICE officer's suicide note: nobody writes a false suicide note like that. The police regard such suicide notes as death bed confessions - and properly so. He believed what he was writing was true. There have been other leaks in government security concerning their plans, and they all point in the same direction. Besides it is what the left does - it is what they have always done.

441 sven, Carpenter would not have done well against those early 1980s acts. OTOH, she probably wouldn't have had to; she might have simply gone in a different direction. I'd also imagine by now, she'd be a *yuge* draw on the casino performing circuit, similar to Juice Newton and Sheena Easton today.
Remember Linda Ronstadt's "What's New" album? Linda basically gave up on pop stardom by 1984 and started embracing various older genres of music. Don't know if Karen would ever have gone espanol however. :-) Posted by: qdpsteve at May 24, 2016 11:54 PM (ntObR) By 84 she would have gone country. She would have done a couple of duets with Kenny Rogers, and then one with Willie Nelson.

Today here was as nice as yesterday was miserable, weather-wise. Started 3 vehicles, well, 4, counting the tractor, and mowed the grass where they were sitting, Hauled miscellaneous motor home bits down to the bottom of the lot where the hulk is sitting, so my top yard is back to its normal degree of clutter. Mowed a bunch more grass; riding mower doing just fine. No blades fell off yet.
While I had the tractor running, I used the loader to pick up a Nissan SD22 Diesel engine that I had sitting in the barn for many years. It came from a terribly rusty '83 King Cab pickup I bought and parted out before I even moved to this place. Truck ran on 3 cylinders. Anyway, for shits and grins, I thought today would be a good day to pull the head off the darn thing, and see why it had a dead cylinder. So, having used the loader to place the engine on my outdoor workbench, I proceeded to tear it down. Strange! It has an air throttle, with vacuum lines running from the throttle body to the injection pump. I guess the injection pump is controlled by the pressure drop across the throttle plate? So, I got the head off, and there appears to be nothing wrong in the cylinders. Pistons are intact, cylinder walls not scored or cracked, valves all intact. Only thing I noticed was #3 intake valve was wet with...fuel. After, lo! these many years, even. So my best guess is it was hitting on 3 cylinders because #3 injector was stuck wide open, and over-fueling that cylinder? I will go ahead, and service all the valves anyway, seeing as the head is off. Next order of business is to try and find a top end gasket set. If I can make this puppy run, I have a use in mind for it. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at May 25, 2016 12:51 AM (dkNy/) Posted by: Misanthropic Humanitarian at May 25, 2016 12:53 AM (voOPb) 516

It has an electronic module which drives a motor which acts like a fuel solenoid. So help me, it looks like a windshield wiper motor with a linkage rod running from it to a lever on the side of the injection pump. From the little reading I have done, it seems there are three positions: "off", "start", and "run". The module probably contains a timer or other circuitry that makes the decision to move it from "start" to "run". "Off" happens by way of the key switch. Other than that peculiarity, it seems like a normal little 4-banger Diesel, nicely finished, and neatly laid out. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at May 25, 2016 01:03 AM (dkNy/) 520

When Democracy Fails Socialism, The Shooting Starts
Democracy isn't going so well for Venezuelan President Maduro. With the country collapsing, democracy, which once was touted as a seal of legitimacy for socialism, is being eschewed by Maduro after the Venezuelan National Assembly was taken over by a super-majority of anti-Maduro candidates?

And Virginia Postrel puts out this column. Let me put out a little, tiny hint -- if Trump utterly ruins those politically-connected firms that have utterly poisoned the marketplace by government fiat and burns them to the ground, salting the earth where they stood, GOOD!!! If the government completely bankrupts everyone who profited from outlawing incandescent bulbs, the makers of those short-wave scanners in TSA lines, and medical insurance companies that are more price-fixing than insurance.....live by the sword and die by it, bitchez!!!! The list goes on-and-on. Anyone whose business model depends on government regulation and pays lobbyists to keep it that way can DIAF. Developers of Common-Core educational materials, environmental remediation "experts" that dump toxins into creeks, "providers of mammograms" that actually provide no mammograms but sell fetal tissue to researchers..... If those are the only profitable sectors of our economy, God help us all -- but the social cost for each so far outweighs any financial gain, we should shut them down, anyway. That Postrel thinks her article can be persuasive is yet another indication of how blind the MSM can be. Posted by: cthulhu at May 25, 2016 01:10 AM (EzgxV) 526

Proof on the number? Sure 10% of the Jews killed in the concentration camps would have been 600,000 people fighting a defensive battle. Typical military doctrine says that a ratio of 3 : 1 in favor of an attacking force compared to a defensive force is necessary to overcome defense. That means the 600,000 would have tied up 1.8 million German soldiers. Since the largest size of active Wehrmacht troops at any one time was 2.2 million it is evident that the Nazis war effort would have been drastically crippled by such opposition. Those Jews who did fight back were very successful in doing so. For example one of the death camps was destroyed and the Nazi garrison at the camp was wiped out. Bill Ayers - Obama's good buddy - has estimated that 25,000,000 Americans need to be killed to institute a people's paradise in the U.S. 10% fighting back would be 2.5 million snipers - since anyone with a scope sighted deer rifle qualifies as a sniper. Even the US Army can't fight 2.5 million snipers. Posted by: An Observation at May 25, 2016 01:10 AM (OSaNz) 527

AOP. Sounds like it'd marinize into a dandy lil' sailboat engine.
See if it cross-indexes to such on the market, much like the Toyota diesel is found in many boats as a Hino unit. If you can marinize it, with zincs, a wet exhaust manifold, marine rated alternator and equipped for a remote filter and remote oil drain, it'll be worth some serious bucks in the refit market. Oh, and a nice coat of whatever Nissan's marine diesel paint was when it was new. Do all that, affix it to a pallet, take copies photos, and run it on Craigslist and Boat Trader. You'll get quick cash on that one. Or, just keep it. You're not gonna replace it for cheap, either. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at May 25, 2016 01:17 AM (McRlu) 535

346 The only band that IMHO appear to have been really recognized at the time besides the Beatles, were the Stones, because Mick Co. were willing to play the dangerous bad guys to the Beatles' more cutesy, cuddly image. Posted by: qdpsteve at May 24, 2016 11:23 PM (ntObR) The ironic part was that the Beatles came from a working class background, while the Stones came from a middle class background. This is very, very true, and it goes way beyond that. The Beatles grew up pretty tough. Paul's mother died when he was pretty young, and John was raised by his aunt. He never knew his father, and his mother was run over by a police car when he was 15 or 16. Ringo was sickly as a kid. The Beatles were basically a high school garage band, when they got a job in Hamburg. Germany. About 15 years after WWII. Playing about six hours a night in a dump down by the waterfront. The customers were mainly merchant marines who were coming or going to strip clubs. This is where they first got involved with drugs - not weed, or LSD, but speed, just to be able to function. I sort of doubt there was a lot of refined musical appreciation in the crowds. And consider this - there was absolutely no model, or path, for them to follow. English groups didn't make it big in America. Hell, there were no "groups"! There were stars - Elvis, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Everly Bros - but who the hell ever heard of a group? An English music group????? Ringo wasn't with them then - their drummer was Pete Best, and on bass was Stu Sutcliffe - Paul played guitar - three guitars. Stu was John's pal, he wasn't much of a player, but they made due. One night, in an alley, he gets jumped and kicked repeatedly in the head. He dies shortly after. His girlfriend was a German named Astrid, who takes these incredible photo's of the band. Then, they were all into leather, with those French haircuts. They were punk 20 years before punk, posing on these bombed out Hamburg street cars. Who in the world would ever imagine this was a road to success?????? Also, remember two things. The Beatles were a product of the '50's. And if you don't think they were genius', just diagram their harmonies sometime. If you're interested, the biography of the Beatles is an incredible story. Like nothing else in show biz history. I would predict that if, in 500 years, they only discuss 2 acts in popular entertainment in the 20th century, it will be The Beatles and Charlie Chaplin.

The pop radio, Top 40 hits, weren't necessarily the best of the Beatles. Some of the unknown tracks on the various albums are phenomenal works of art, that didn't get airplay, because they didn't fit the Top 40 programmer's paradigm of what fit the format. Oh, and try to get some "good" drummer to play some of Ringo's patterns. No, he wasn't a "drum solo" superstar as became the norm in rock later in the '60s. But he could lay down some pretty damn complex patterns, and do them very well. Subtle, not demandingly, but well. Lennon and McCartney would not have allowed him to have shone any brighter, either. There's a reason he has the respect in the classic rock and now, in the rock/jazz/blues community that he now enjoys. He was GOOD. Not a "great". But very damn good, doing what he was supposed to have been doing, with the band in it's time. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at May 25, 2016 01:41 AM (McRlu) 555

Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX I absolutely couldn't agree more. I wasn't a drummer, and I love Keith Moon, but Ringo was perfect for his band. He was sort of like the ballplayer, you know, where they say, he doesn't have the greatest range, but he catches everything he gets to. You know, it would be fun to put together an LP of "forgotten" Beatle stuff. People don't realize how much country and western they covered, or RB, for example.

Vertov, I have this album on vinyl, and it's very good: https://www.discogs.com/Beatles-Very-Together/release/3903361 The Beatles were backing pop star Tony Sheridan, and were very tight as a band. Oh man, that looks interesting. I'll have to see if I can find a cd of that. You know, I understand perfectly what you mean by "tight". Yes, I was in a band in college, but I freely admit we sucked. But I know what tight is. I've got a video I downloaded on my computer, of the show the Beatles did, I believe, on the Wednesday between their first two Sullivan appearances. It's in Washington, DC. And I'm telling you - it's like no other show of theirs on video or film. They are 'tight'! It's hard to explain. Posted by: vertov at May 25, 2016 02:08 AM (RTOcO) 577

Chi's palate is teh suxxor; chili cheese Fritos are their best flavor.
As further proof, Chi prefers Bud Light over Xxxxxxx beer. C'mon, I wouldn't even call Bud Light a beer. I'd order an O'douls first, and I've never ordered one, but it does at least have some flavor. ------------- I was in Albuquerque last week; looks like I missed all the Trump excitement. We were on a 3200 mile road trip to Monument Valley, Utah and back. Dad's ashes can now be found in five different states. Maybe more, depending on the winds. Trip insights -- They now charge $5 a head to get to the Four Corners stela. They don't serve booze at the Indian casino in ABQ. Don't break down in your RV in Ft. Worth in 5pm rush hour traffic in the middle of 5 lanes of traffic. Just don't. And if you do, don't get your RV towed to the nearest Walmart; Tarrant County TX frowns upon this practice. And whatever you do, don't cross Louisiana on I-10 at 1 am on a weekday; there's one cop per foot for the entire 277 miles, all with radar guns and itchy ticket fingers. This is barely an exaggeration. It was a good, if fast, trip. Posted by: GnuBreed at May 25, 2016 02:33 AM (gyKtp) 589

But of course, the guitarist decided playing George in a Beatles cover band was more important than his own music, so it fell apart after their first self produced album.

and Tractor/Trailers stay overnight at least in most of them in DFW.. Yep, Jarvis, Walmart does allow RVs and trucks to use their parking lots overnight nationwide. But the security guard at the Walmart in Arlington TX came to us as the tow truck was unhooking, and warned us that there was no overnights allowed due to Tarrant Co. rules. But the store manager heard our tale of woe and allowed us to stay anyhow. Thanks, Steven! We tracked down a mobile mechanic in the am and got back on the road by 1 pm. Fuck you, crankshaft sensor.

CPS? I got hit twice by that this year, the second time barely two months after it had been replaced. Both times I was stuck in the rain for hours but the second time was especially enjoyable because I was blocking a freeway exit during rush hour. (Ford is trying to disavow responsibility because I didn't get towed to a Ford dealer the second time around, as if It was normal to expect Ford service to fail badly.) I'm now very reluctant to drive the car on on a rainy day because apparently some parts of the 2002 Explorer's engine are made from spun sugar that will cost you about $700 if the come anywhere near water.

Epobirs, I had to do both the Crank(x2) and Cams on my moms Chevy van. The cranks wern't too bad, and when I had it apart I said we should do the Cam, and the Power Steering Pump.. Dad said no.. just get it goin!
Well, less than a yr later the PSP failed, leaked fluid all over the cam sensor and so I had to take it all apart again and replace both the PSP and the Cam sensor, along with soldering in a new pigtail! Geeze.. Posted by: JarvisW at May 25, 2016 04:00 AM (R1ejq) 601

My little town was wiped out by a tornado in 1860. Out of six hundred houses in town, five were left intact. Twenty-nine people died and seventy-six were injured. The town, which had been the county seat, never quite recovered. The county seat was moved five miles north to a smaller town which eventually overtook ours. We're just a bedroom community now.

Yeah. The Taylor is functionally an 800 series dreadnaught. Dialed back inlays and no pick guard that, for my taste, adds to looks. Plays and sounds great.

I think one of the Ramones wives recently said one of them was too..
All of the original Ramones except Joey were righties, with the late Johnny Ramone the most conservative. They flat-out endorsed Reagan during the 1980 election, and caught a ton of shit for it from the liberal press. Johnny's "Kill a Commie for Mommy" t-shirt really pissed them off. Johnny almost quit the band over Joey's lame, cheap-shot anti-Reagan song "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg." He insisted on at least changing the title (to "My Brain is Hanging Upside Down") on later pressings. Posted by: WhatWhatWhat? at May 25, 2016 05:28 AM (HMt16) 629

Never heard about any of the Sex Pistols being conservative (definitely not Johnny Rotten), but The Jam were Tories who were pro-Thatcher. And predictably, were hated by the larger punk community for it.
Unlike the Pistols, who had a bare handful of good songs and one album, The Jam had scads of terrific singles and albums. Posted by: WhatWhatWhat? at May 25, 2016 05:37 AM (HMt16) 637

The current corrupt AG has said the feds will hold their own separate trial of the Charleston shooter and will seek the death penalty. The law she is crediting the trial on specifically says that it is not to be invoked unless the State is taking no action. But since when is anyone in this regime cared a whit about what the law says? The actual US code:
(b) Certification Requirement. (1)In general. No prosecution of any offense described in this subsection may be undertaken by the United States, except under the certification in writing of the Attorney General, or a designee, that: A) the State does not have jurisdiction; (B) the State has requested that the Federal Government assume jurisdiction; (C) the verdict or sentence obtained pursuant to State charges left demonstratively unvindicated the Federal interest in eradicating bias-motivated violence; or (D) a prosecution by the United States is in the public interest and necessary to secure substantial justice. The feds meet none of the above criteria. SC long ago stated they are seeking the death penalty. This is expensive taxpayer funded grandstanding to help the Democrat Party. http://fxn.ws/1RphoVK Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at May 25, 2016 05:58 AM (vvmPQ) 653

The sidebar says it all: failing to let Democrat vote fraud continue unabated is "unconstitutional". Executive rule, the administration passing its own law (including taxes), now, that's fine. But slightly inhibiting vote fraud is a big no-no.
That fine ruling comes to us from George Voinovich's former sidekick, now a federal judge with a damn lifetime appointment. Hence, Trump. Posted by: MTF at May 25, 2016 06:08 AM (/m8T6) 668

This out of control federal judiciary is what my version of an Art V convention would address. I would remove ALL appointments of federal judges from the DC corrupto-crats. And I would make them subject to a recall election by those in their responsible districts.

653 Mom charged with "child abuse" for letting her 11 year old son drive a golf cart on the road. In actuality she should have been charged with public drunk in addition to mouthing off at the cop who was trying to explain the NC law to her and her husband.
----------------------------------------------------------- I couldn't disagree more Vic, based on the stories I've read so far. This same police force is trying to fire four other officers for sexual harassment of citizens and town staff, so their record isn't good (by the way, now many cops does a village of less than 7,000 at peak need?!). Next, the story the woman tells is essentially unchallenged by the town. Her claims of being assaulted are on video. There is ZERO evidence she was drunk. The cops appear to be making it up as they go along on this one and the town attorney has clammed up tight, citing "possible litigation". As I said yesterday when we were talking about this story, I'm betting these lousy beach cops have set their town up to write a large check to the Malls.

I have been to that part of NC many times to the town of Southport and have never heard any local gossip about the town of Bald Head or the island. But I do find it odd that a community of only a few hundred people has 25 cops. They must have a "huge" population expansion during tourist season and somehow justify a permanent force of 25????
Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at May 25, 2016 06:35 AM (vvmPQ) 686
BTW, here in this county in SC it is legal to drive golf carts on the local roads. But not on highways.

We had a small town located to the South of me on a busy State highway. They has a bad reputation of setting speed traps and other abuses of the law including false charges. Most people they hit simply settled and moved on. That is until the punishment both in fines and insurance costs for DUI went through the roof.
They made the mistake of popping a State Senator's son for a phony DUI charge and jailing him. Shortly after he paid his exorbitant fine the town was raided by SLED and everyone of those corrupt cops was fired. A few years ago the town filed for bankruptcy.

from the town. Most likely the work of one of those militant atheists that can not stand the sight of anything religious. . . . .The people who run around and make these lawsuits are most definitely some of the most bitter, angry and lonely people I have ever come across. They are empty and uncaring about almost anything and usually have zero relationships with other people. That is why they get all up in arms about crosses and the like, it is because they want other people to feel as bad as they do. Oddly enough, they never bitch about anything islamic.

my definition of an "unreasonable" seizure is different than the court approved definition. You would think it's a fourth amendment violation, plain and simple. Posted by: MTF at May 25, 2016 06:46 AM (/m8T6) SCOTUS has only ruled on one case involving civil forfeiture. They said that it was constitutional, however, that case involved forfeiture AFTER conviction. Usually what happens is that after they illegally seize the assets if the individual gets a lawyer and sues, they give it back. Or at least part of it back but it costs the person who had it seized a bunch of money to fight them. They know that if they go to court they will lose and lose the ability to take assets in the future. It is one of the most abused laws in the country. Congress has also been very slow to push elimination of this crap as well. It doesn't cost them any skin off their back. Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at May 25, 2016 06:52 AM (vvmPQ) 704
A naive XGF took her Boyfriend to this house he told her was a friends and he was going to give him a TV for money owed.. He went around back, and came out with it and a few other things..
Well, of course he stole the items, but SHE was charged as an accomplice even tho I can testify she was gullible enough to believe that asshole.. Anyway, they took her car because it was involved in a crime, even tho she had no idea it was occurring or would have benefited in it..

Most likely the work of one of those militant atheists that can not stand the sight of anything religious.
My hometown had a run in with Freedom From Religion jackasses. There is a big white cross representing war dead in the city park they objected to. The city sold a 20 by 20 ft parcel, including the cross, to a local church whose parishioners donated the cross to begin with. Now, the cross isn't on city land anymore, but the FFR is "investigating" the sale of the property because they fear it didn't go through the proper bidding process. Ummm, if the local taxpayers aren't mad about it, they should piss off. Posted by: no good deed at May 25, 2016 07:04 AM (9nt94) 707

"I don't get how "civil forfeiture" is legal."
Judges get part of the vig. Modern judges started off as lawyers and politicians. Evil of Government licensing. Organized theft by Government agents. Current set-up has a massive conflict-of-interest built in. Don't worry. God is finishing up the reset button even as I type. We are near the end of this era. God hears prayers. That is why the attack on Christianity. Assholes don't want people to pray. A way to destroy islam is to trick the believers into praying that evil is destroyed in the world.

Well, I live in MA, so every one of my reps, up to and including the RINO governor, is an out-and-out asshole as far as I'm concerned.

Now, for a picture. I happen to be listening to the audio book version of Tinseltown, a book about the murder of silent director William Desmond Taylor, and am at the point where the film colony is mourning the death of starlet Olive Thomas, who (as I'm sure you've figured out by now) was a former Ziegfeld girl. Here she is in a full-page spread from the New York Tribune of August 1, 1915: http://goo.gl/o8tJrt You'll note it says she's appearing in the Follies at the New Amsterdam Theatre.
