Joe Scarborough's Latest Single Is The Protest Song No One Was Waiting For

Imagine yourself as a mad scientist charged with creating a computer program to write the anthem for the next Monsters of Vaguely Folkish Alterna-Rock Festival. The song will be performed by a replicant attempting to pose as a newly woke hipster dedicated to the #resistance.

Now imagine that your work is pointless because Joe Scarborough beat you to it, albeit ostensibly via his own hand and not an algorithm run amok. Whether he can pass the Turing test remains to be seen.


What a pompous tool.

The great virtue of a free market system is that it does not care what color people are; it does not care what their religion is; it only cares whether they can produce something you want to buy. It is the most effective system we have discovered to enable people who hate one another to deal with one another and help one another.
-- Milton Friedman

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
-- Sir Winston Churchill
I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it.

Islamophobia Hitchens.jpg

Say what you will about Christopher Hitchens (and there is much to be said), he understood the existential danger that militant Islam represents to Western society, and he was savagely critical of its apologists in the West.

You know what they say...."Curiosity killed the Moron."

But you can't resist.

Links can be bad on this blog,
And sometimes they'll put you in a fog
Or be so clever and sexy
That they cause apoplexy,
And send you out for some more grog

Chris Matthews Warns 'Giddy' Dems: Trump Will Be Extremely Tough to Beat in 2020
Matthews said on his Hardball show this week that though Democrats are giddy about potentially sweeping away Republican incumbents in the fall, a good year in 2018 does not mean Democrats can defeat the charismatic Trump if he remains on message about the booming economy and as disciplined as he was on Thursday.

President Trump rode a wave of discontent, but for 2020 I hope he rides a wave of solid economic growth, renewed faith in American Exceptionalism, and most of all America's trust in a man whose ideas are grand, but who also grew in his job. If DJT can learn from his missteps, he will indeed be very, very difficult to beat.

33 OK, I need to axe you all a question, before I have to go to bed.

Does anyone here participate in one of those medical cost sharing programs, like Liberty Healthshares or Medishare?

My health insurance for just me went up to almost $900 a month. I think I'm going to opt out and go with one of these, just in case of calamity. I'd really like to know if people have had success getting major medicals paid for with them, though. I can handle my annual medical costs; just want something less expensive to fall back on if something awful happens.

83 vening, Horde.

Anyone up for a musical topic? How about: evocative guitar solos. We're not talking about "best" or even "favorite" (subjective by the very nature of the theme, and too many to choose from). Just solos that make an emotional impact.

The rules (meant to be broken):

-No instrumental-only or primarily instrumental tracks
-No obscure bootlegs, live recordings, etc. Should be a recording a reasonable number of Morons will have heard
-Solos only, no duets (OK, I admit I added that one just to eliminate Hotel California)

I'll prime the pump with some obvious ones:

Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb: https://youtu.be/Sf3pc-7gfOg

Pearl Jam, Yellow Ledbetter: https://youtu.be/hs8y3kneqrs

Derek & the Dominoes, Layla: https://youtu.be/XVGTGW0cCw8

Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms: https://youtu.be/Wu4oy1IRTh8

Led Zeppelin, Ten Years Gone: https://youtu.be/DBzuYNK95sM

What songs would you pick? Provide links if you can...

Posted by: Average Guy at January 21, 2018 10:10 PM (LMcFk)

84 Led Zeppelin is a guilty pleasure for me; Ramble On is a great song. Most of their music cannot really be covered by other artists, and in my opinion that is because it was so perfectly suited to their particular talents.

Posted by: Huck Follywood, Beer Drinker and Expert Foot Masseuse at January 21, 2018 10:10 PM (ylUqT)

85 My theory about Joe Scarborough is that he wants to cement Mika's affections. So how does he do this? Women are attracted to musicians, so if he adopts the persona of a rock star, he thinks she'll stay in love with him that much longer.

SNL did a funny skit a week ago, mocking JoeMika (Beavis and Butthead). SNL is mostly dreck, but this one was funny. I saw a clip of it online somewhere a few days ago.

Hell, they really act like they do in that parody.

95 that picture is so wrong on so many levels. The hair. It's so...wrong. And dress shoes with no socks? WTF? This is someone who wants both punkrock and elite cred at the same time. Oooh, he's got a dress shirt but it's unbuttoned! You know he's dying to flip his collar up.

During my life as a journalist/editor/whatever in Europe, I met him and his brother, who has always had a different attitude and belief.

This is what I was told, but I think his aggressive non-conformism (which is why I think we got along) changed toward the end in terms of religion, or at least of a Divine Creator. It shows up in small ways in some of his last published writings.

173 Hitchens completely changed my shole perspective on Thomas Jefferson, whome I was disgusted by for years. I grew up near Monticello too, which made my distaste a little inconvenient since he is a local hero (as you might imagine).

I always wondered, as a result of his profligate spending, if he ever had to sell any of his children to settle wine and book debts. Also, he was such a disgustingly hard-edged political boss (with his hatchetman Madison) that even in his political greatness I just wondered what the other side of the story was, betting it was pretty ugly. Like with how he treated Adams, for example, and his pampleteering in secrecy against Adams for years.

Anyway, Hitchens wrote a beautiful, short, very balanced, biography of Jefferson, and I came away with a very different view of TJ.

Re karaoke, does anyone else here know the song by Climax from the early 1970s, "Precious And Few"?

I love it, but I always thought the lead singer (Sonny Geraci) sounded as if he had the stuffed nose of all time singing it.

Anyway, I'd like to do it in karaoke, holding my nose shut the whole time I'm singing. ;-)

214 ''Anyone up for a musical topic? How about: evocative guitar solos..."

Well, of course, the (too long) solo that ends Layla.

Although I kind of 'get' why Clapton did it that way... whenever I've had to go away/get away from a woman I was infatuated with, it just felt impossible, and I always wanted to try and figure out *one more way* for me to be with that person, talk to them, anything with them.

So it's ridiculously drawn out... but for a purpose, to symbolize the emotional neediness Eric was probably feeling at the time. That's my theory, anyway.

Nope, sorry. Thomas Jefferson was a dick, personally and politically. A complete amoral jackhole. His only saving grace was his excellent writing ability and his complete understanding of the enlightenment ideals behind the American Revolution (which he wanted to exploit for his own political gain). I have read a lot on TJ ( although admittedly not Hitchens book) and studied his personal writings, papers and those closest to him.
But far be it from me to dismiss Hitchens out of hand ~ I'll read it and get back to you ~ but I very much doubt it will change my opinion.

Hitchens was someone I didn't trust on a number of subjects, but did like him when it came to Islam. On that, he was extremely reliable.

And he *really* hated fascism. Michael Totten, Christopher Hitchens, and one other guy (whose name escapes me) all went to Beirut. They were traveling through a Hezbollah neighborhood, and Hitchens almost got the three of them killed because he went berserk at the sight of a poster with a swastika and tore it down. The Hezbollah locals didn't like that one bit, and chased the three men back to their hotel.

270 Reposted from an earlier thread, because this is cool as hell:

Looks like there was a rocket launch Saturday night that I completely missed. A private company, Rocket Lab, successfully sent their Electron rocket into orbit from New Zealand carrying three tiny satellites. It was only Electron's second test flight, the first one having failed last May. Not too shabby!

I was dimly aware of their existence, but I had not been paying attention to Rocket Lab or Electron at all. This launch blindsided me. I spent all morning playing catch-up trying to educate myself.

Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Lab

Rocket Lab's own website:
https://www.rocketlabusa.com/

Electron is one of the smallest rockets ever to achieve orbit. It's comparable to the Vanguard rocket from the 1950s, but is more efficient so it has a larger payload capacity.

Here is a good video about small rockets:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1bZO16em2c

Electron also employs some advanced technology. The rocket is mostly made of carbon fiber, its Rutherford engine uses electric motors instead of traditional turbopumps, and many parts are 3D printed.

Here is a video made around the time of the first test flight last May, which gives some details about the rocket:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXGfK6keS2Q

Note the size comparison to SpaceX's Falcon 9. Like Falcon 9, Electron also has nine engines on the first stage and one on the second stage. But it looks like a dollhouse version of Falcon 9!

Finally, here is the complete webcast from Saturday night:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg5234BOED8

It was a particularly beautiful launch. The launch site was picturesque, and there were some gorgeous shots from both ground-based video and the rocketcam.


I am really sorry I missed it. This would have been a fun one to watch live.

It was at a time where Entwistle and Moon were considering leaving The Who and forming a new group with Page. That was the name they had discussed using because of the joke that you refer to. They ended up staying put and Page used the name.

Moon had already dabbled in leaving the group and had played on one song (Beck's Bolero) with Page, John Paul Jones, and Jeff Beck. John Paul Jones only played on the record because John Entwisle didn't show up for the session.

Ima gonna do a little research on her career arc, as it were. She was big in the 2000 - 2006/8ish time frame. Don't think she's starred in any big "movies" in a while, but I think she's hitting the strip circuit (now that is where the big money is to be made for an A-lister. That, and "escort work". )

She may get a boost in those circuits. Might even be a motivation behind it all....

344 "I could be almost my entire life but that the prodigal son proverb still bothers the crap out of me."

You may not have really understood it yet; it operates on multiple levels. The primary theological point that it was intended to make was an object lesson about the Chosen Race and that Gentiles. Everyone who isn't born a Jew, according to O.T. Law, is a gentile, and the gentiles are the "Prodigal Son" who turned his back on his father (God) and lived a life (lives) of licentiousness and sin.

The Jewish race is the Elder son, the one who stayed faithful and who are outraged when they are told the child(ren) who left their father's house are going to be welcomed back. The Father tells the eldest son, "be filled with joy! Those who were lost have been found!"

And here is where the eldest sons deeper sin comes in - the prodigal has repented, and has sworn to live a life in accordance with his fathers wishes from then on, but the Elder son is bitter, resentful, and has allowed the father's mercy to drive a wedge between the two of them.

The older son is envious, and he is proud, and the story ends with him refusing to come to the father's banquet because of his pride and anger. And the story ends without his repentance.

As bad as the prodigal sons sins were, the elder sons sin was far worse, because it was sin of the spirit, and not simply sin of the flesh.

360 285 - that bothered me, too, but consider this. the father said 'everything I have is yours" to the Good Son. Dad just pointed out that he was happy that his prodigal son had come home after Dad had given him up for dead. I guess the Good Son was annoyed that his dad never threw him a party, but Good Son didn't run away.

It was a measure of the father's joy, not that he loved the son more.

God is happy when Prodigal's return.

The Prodigal learns the hard way humility, and knows he needs to be grateful for his position as son of his father.

The older one thinks his actions have earned him his father's love. Doesn't understand how God loves because of his own Being able to love, not because any one deserves it.

When you leave out guitar solo duets you are leaving out great songs with great guitar solos from bands like The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Outlaws.

What do you have against Southern rock?

So, okay, a guitar solo means you need a guitarist. I'm going with 'Help Me' by Ten Years After off their double live album, the somehow misnamed 'Ten Years After Recorded Live'. Alvin Lee on guitar. One of the greats.

396 "I disagree with that interpretation when reviewed in context with other parables told by Jesus."

Every parable that was told works on a half dozen different levels.

Here's another level for the prodigal son, which also is addressed more directly by the story of the day's wages - those of us who have grown up in a church, who feel like we may always have tried to be faithful - then WE are the eldest sons. We are the ones being warned not to allow our pride in ourselves cause us to look at those who have just joined with contempt, and especially not to ever allow ourselves to think that we are better than anyone else, no matter what we think we have done.

Because Pride in Self is always the original sin, the sin from which all other sins flow.

436 "NEVER let these language-bastardizers convert the Bible to Communism."

It's not "communism", it's not about economics at all. It's the same thing he said to the disciples directly a few other times, and that was "God made a bargain with you. Was that deal unfair? Do you regret it? No? Well then don't waste your time worrying about the terms of what he's offered to anyone else. You Worry about You. What happens to other people's souls is none of your business, and worrying about that type of thing will lead you into sin and dissension. You Worry About You, and leave the rest to Him."

441 83 Anyone up for a musical topic? How about: evocative guitar solos. We're not talking about "best" or even "favorite" (subjective by the very nature of the theme, and too many to choose from). Just solos that make an emotional impact.

The rules (meant to be broken):

-No instrumental-only or primarily instrumental tracks
-No obscure bootlegs, live recordings, etc. Should be a recording a reasonable number of Morons will have heard
-Solos only, no duets (OK, I admit I added that one just to eliminate Hotel California)

I'll prime the pump with some obvious ones:

Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb: https://youtu.be/Sf3pc-7gfOg

Pearl Jam, Yellow Ledbetter: https://youtu.be/hs8y3kneqrs

Derek & the Dominoes, Layla: https://youtu.be/XVGTGW0cCw8

Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms: https://youtu.be/Wu4oy1IRTh8

Led Zeppelin, Ten Years Gone: https://youtu.be/DBzuYNK95sM

Posted by: Average Guy at January 21, 2018 10:10 PM (LMcFk)


Very hard to separate "solos that make an emotional impact" from "subjective," isn't it?

The best solos are live, but no one wants to hear my "top 20 Jerry solos during a peak moment of concert ecstacy," so I'll play along.

And "emotional impact" in a solo kind of means that you're not just introducing the tune, you're doing something different in the middle. Otherwise you'd have had that emotional impact at the beginning. So much for Kashmir, for example. OK.

Jorma solo, Hesitation Blues. If you want the emotional solo stuff, though it's all solo, check around 2:35:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_V4_ffcWE0

Dire Straits, Down To the Waterline, starting about 2:35
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugZRzISBrKk

And one Jerry, the Hard To Handle from 8/6/1971, check around 2:55

468 " It is the most effective system we have discovered to enable people who hate one another to deal with one another and help one another.-- Milton Friedman

yeah, as someone up there said, markets have no virtue. They don't care about race, they also don't care about the use of slaves, the pollution created, the patents stolen, the riches turned into weapons, the bribery ... and more.

The simple fact is no "free market" exists, and when we trade with enemies we may in time no only help them enslave their own people, but they may end up enslaving us.

But sure, Friedman had interesting theories that can be applied under the umbrella of a functional republic that makes laws to battle those problems.

504 Very hard to separate "solos that make an emotional impact" from "subjective," isn't it? (Splunge)

That's the point I was trying to make: it's inherently subjective so there can't be a "best".

What I was going for is, the emotional impact of the solo should be more than "F'n awesome solo, dude!" The solo should (just for the sake of this discussion) reflect and/or compliment the lyrics; hence the no instrumental "rule". I think the examples I gave (and many of the examples others gave) accomplish this. Especially, IMO, Brothers in Arms and Comfortably Numb.

Anyway, I just thought it would be a fun topic, and the "rules" were not even really "guidelines", just a way to keep the Eagles and those other dirty Southern Rockers out of the discussion

Yes, I am afraid. Especially because our population has bowed to the altar of policial correctness to the exclusion of all logic, reason, history, science, and wisdom. And they are willing to sacrifice our country on that same altar.

554 CM9000, both DiGenova and McCarthy stumble when they evaluate many people they knew and worked with. McCarthy's far worse. But both of them are true experts in the substance of these matters, AND are both appalled by what they've seen.


DiGenova is quite appropriately harsh on the major personalities involved. His summary is excellent. I haven't taken McCarthy's comments on major judicial personalities of his acquaintance seriously since the Scooter Libby farce. But he knows what he knows about substance.


My evaluations of credibility are specific to the topic. When someone turns up a true expert who lacks areas where he can be disregarded, please inform me.

"Elohim" ("Lord") is used in one thread of the Pentateuch in place of the ineffable name of G-d. Other than Jesus being called "Lord" (e.g., by Thomas at the second post-resurrection appearance to the apostles), it has no canonical connection to Him.

I laughed my ass off as I was typing it. lol

Any time I reword a song I try to keep the original last word of every line, or at least a new word that rhymes with the original, because the original is burned into people's brains and leaving markers is a good thing. Me and an old bass player used to reword songs all the time. We had a whole bunch of reworded "kill binladen" themed Christmas songs we wanted to record. It was funny shit.

Well, he's right about that. Muslims who have left the faith will tell people about it, but they get shut down. No one wants to hear the truth. Especially the government. Appeasement is their approach.

Erdogan....a guy who was jailed for being an extreme Islamist can then go on to become President...it should set alarm bells off for people. Unfortunately, people know more about the Kardashians.

People get hung up on the terrorist numbers and will argue until they are blue in the face. I take a different approach and speak about the cultural differences. Bcz that is what scares me, more than the terrorist attacks. When I say that, it does tend to shift the conversation, because they have no talking points for that.

When you start to ask people what they know about FGM, and Sharia law, and child brides, and the rape game, (which even the German police have named and acknowledged), there is a stunned disbelief. Speak about Sweden as now the rape capitol of the West. Or how the Boston Bombers were refugees.

There is so much silence out there on the Cultural issues. People have no idea, no clue. I know, I was one of them years ago.

629 i bought my son a guitar when he was ten, a little red and white electric guitar. took him to weekly lessons.

one day i heard the intro to Crazy Train coming out of his room. he's got the gift, and that same joy you're describing, HK.

He's had quite a few bands so far, a new one lately. he's in his early 20s. whenever i hear the Floyd's line "you bought a guitar to punish your mom" I smile.

Dining in the Horde Valhalla is NOT IN DOUBT for this Warrior of a Woman.


She has armed her son well, and her son wields Teh AXE, and splendidly it is said.

Now then, we must together hasten to ensure his skill with Teh Axe, be equaled soon, with arms of fire and tools of steel of all kinds. To build, to create, to fix and repair.

And The Elders must teach him of our Foundings, our Reasons and the Course for our Present, our Being, and our Future.

To Moron University, with the lad, post haste!

Mom's a total inspiration. Zips thru the daily crosswords and sudoku and cryptoquote. Weekly gym workout. Pains and problems and wobbly on her pins, but probably pound for pound, year for year, in better shape than I am.

Also, when you get to a certain age, you've outlived the statute of limitations on most of your big goofs in life.

and i bet you do have the answers written on your sleeves.

It's remembering which answers go to which questions that's really tricky.

After the front porch RAILINGS, I still have to replace the front porch STAIRS, and their RAILINGS, as well as design and fabricate solar charged LED lighted caps atop the four posts which anchor the stair railings.

To be followed by the demolition of the back "porch" (a tiny, insufficient structure providing only access to the back door of the house), with a proper, 13ft. x 16 ft. back DECK, replete with pergola roof and a fully equipped, outdoor kitchen.

He'd get quite the apprenticeship from those projects. Stuff him onto an airplane and fly him on down.

Alas, I won't be able to pay him wages for "labor". He'd have to serve as a "volunteer".

Hell, FEEDING him would likely bankrupt me altogether.

Everything you donate to Northernlurker goes to a P.O. Box in his name.

Let us let him rest comfortably in Faye's memory.

He is a Moron in Good Faith and he will take God's Message to the Philippines with him.

Amen, on burnout! You do something you love but one day you wake up and it's worse than drudgery! You don't know how to stop!

Spent 15 years of my life in a field I truly loved. But it was almost a 24/7 operation. Not one true vacation. When it came to an end, I hated everything associated with it for about 5 years. I would wake up panicking that I missed x deadline- but x no longer existed. I wouldn't talk about my work with others as I saw their opinions as ill-informed and totally incapable of understanding (that was then, not now).

Over the years, I was finally was able to look back with some sense of accomplishment- and did come around to enjoying my field again, just not as a business endeavor.

Another opportunity came up about 3 years ago in my same line of expertise. Went in pro-bono. Was very happy I was able to make a difference for some folks that really needed my expertise.

Just wanted to say a sincere thank you to the Ace of Spades website for not in anyway promoting the Flag-crapping NFL.
Those are their (i.e. the NFL's) employees. - That is, every single player who takes to the field.
The NFL can fire any of those flag-shitting employees who take a squat during the anthem as Old Glory is supposedly being honored.
(Consider: If, originally, every player on the field stood during our national anthem but one of the water-boys took a squat while Old Glory was being honored during the anthem: do you think for a split second that the NFL would hesitate to fire that mangy ass???)

More importantly, the NFL does not have to play the national anthem or fly our beautiful flag. That would be just fine with me, and I would not hold it against them.
But the NFL has for a great many decades _CHOSEN_ to ostentatiously display a GIANT American flag while playing the national anthem. - They are fucking hypocrites for doing that (mainly for the sake of money!) and now turning around and allowing their prima-donna multimillionaire groupie-fucking employees to shit upon the flag and claim social-justice self-righteousness.
- Bastards.
Fuck. Them. All.

Hail Slapweasel

Thanks for the welcome. Five years travels by in a blink.

Big changes have to come. But I don't see how our country can possibly survive them. But I want it to - somehow.

• "Black male in cowboy hat throwing fireworks into the crowd."
• Police officers made a call for a strike force team.
• "For the most part the crowd is boisterous but orderly complying by police commands"
• "Much larger crowd than we expected"
• "We're going to get people off the statue next"
• "He's standing on top of the bus stand"
• "Crowd is moving. Only three to four thousand people remaining."
• "We lost the intersection"
• There is a bus with NFL personnel that is stuck in traffic. "We have a crowd breaking out their windows"
• "We have a film crew down here and people are performing for them."
• "There's like four or five people arguing. Looks like it's breaking up."
