Hard Rock Trial

Got a little blurb and video up over at Fixer & Gordon. Enjoy.

Heh ...

Careful, Gordon! Heh ...

Goin' Ridin'

Going to ride the Hard Rock trial today. Two trials in two weeks doesn't happen very often, thank goodness.

I didn't write anything about last week's AHRMA trial mostly because it kicked my ass and I DNF'ed and I've been trying to figure out how to make it sound like I'm less of a wimp. I only fell all the way off once and in the process I managed to save the handlebar end-protector by putting my hand between it and the ground. The swelling's gone down but I'm playing still slightly hurt today. Stay tuned.

Knowing your audience ...

I betcha the gay bars are gonna be doing a bang up business too:

TAMPA -- Strip clubs may not be the most politically correct venue for those attending the Republican National Convention, but that doesn't mean Tampa's well-known adult hot spots won't be ready for the influx of visitors.

One place is bringing in a stripper who looks like former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. There are major renovations taking place. And some nude clubs have already been giving potential customers a taste of the talent online.

...

All those pent up Rethuglicans in one place with minimal spousal supervision. The dough will be rolling in like the high tide.

Great thanks to Tengrain for the link.

Fuck this guy ...

That fucking twat Louie Gohmert is another one who needs to be in a rubber room:

In the wake of tragic gun violence, most politicians realize the decent, responsible thing to do is send sympathies to those affected while leaving politics out of it. Others aren't as sensible.

...

I see. So, in the mind of this strange Republican congressman, a madman killed 12 people because of ... the separation of church and State? The First Amendment is to blame for a shooting spree in a movie theater?

...

And, of course, that idiot Rick Warren, thinking his 15 minutes was slipping away, had to put in his 2 cents:

...

So, according to Rick Warren, pastor extraordinaire, teaching scientifically-sound evolution is the reason the shooter went into that theater.

Tell me again why he deserves our respect?

Fuck him too.

Retroactive ...

Mike Flannigan with a perfect take on Mitt:

...

Willard Romney is retroactively whatever he wants his demographic of the day to believe he is: A retroactive civil rights marcher, a retroactive gun enthusiast and hunter, a retroactively retired executive. Everything about Willard Romney is retroactive.

...

Just like the asshole at the bar or party who's got something to say about everything, yet obviously knows little about anything.

Gah ...

Just ... gah:

In honor of the late Andrew Breitbart, EAGnews.org has created the “Annual Andrew Breitbart Memorial Essay Contest,” for K-12 students throughout the United States.

I'm pretty sure this qualifies as child abuse.

God save us ...

The only bright side ...

Is that now the prosecutor has more evidence.

The last time that Sean Hannity came a'blundering into a high-profile media-legal situation in Florida, he helped make a living hell out of life for Michael Schiavo, and for some very good people working in a hospice, and he enabled people who phoned in bomb scares to elementary schools, and he promoted the gabble-gabbling nonsense of dangerous charlatans. (You can read at length about how Hannity's mucked with people's lives for his own profit in a book from a few years back.) If I were the state authorities down there, I'd never let him back into the state accompanied by a camera crew ever again.

...

Fucking Hannity is an idiot and a shill. The wort part is, he grew up in the town next to mine and I never ran into him on the street. I wish I could say "I threw him a beating when he was young"*. He gives Long Island a bad name.

*Thinking about it, maybe not. I wouldn't want you folks to think I made him the way he is. Heh ...

Queen Ann of the 1% speaks

Politico

Ann Romney dismissed concerns about her husband’s tax returns Thursday, contending that the two of them have “given all you people need to know.”

We The People of the United States are now "you people". No arrogance or elitism there, huh?. I guess we're lucky she didn't call us "the help" and tell us we were "uppity" to want to vet Willard because it's "his turn" to be POTUS and we should be good little serfs and just take the droight du seigneur* with a smile as it was intended by God and STFU. Heh.

*French for "telephone pole up the ass"?

Told ya ...

It is the World's Finest News Source. Heh ...

Nutz ...

Have you heard about these crazies yet?

...

I have heard through the vast left wing conspiracy (aka the liberal media) that you had dropped out of Iowa's 34th senate district when it was apparent no one wanted you for that elected office and have, instead, crowned yourself a Senator of the brand new Republic of the united States of America. No doubt, this is why no one would've voted for you for the Iowa state senate because they were hoping you'd pursue a higher, national office or one for which you're much more suited: An imaginary one with no actual responsibilities.

...

More crybaby cons who want their own country because the black man ruined everything. Dicks.
