Yes, those immigrants crawled on their hands and knees through jungles, deserts and raging rivers to get here, with their cell phones and chargers along the way.

Lemme guess; you think people on public assistance who have air conditioning or transportation, or maybe even refrigerators, are a problem.

"Bo Dietl"

I haven't heard that name since listening to Imus, and that's been a long time.

Imus was asking him one time about the mob's control of certain markets in NYC. "What would happen if a truck of tomatoes tried to come over the George Washington Bridge without proper clearance?"

"They wouldn't make it."

These little reprobates who are afraid to shave because they are scared their facial hair may not return ...

I know I am.

He was my representative for a while. If memory serves, the crazier-than-hell Cynthia McKinney may have taken his place.

Washington, VA, is a great little town with what used to be among the US's best restaurants.

Boaz came out?

Spiral Jetty

92. I lived for a few decades in a small city known for its music that featured the Ford House, Tennessee Ernie Ford's birthplace.

My first memories of him were on I Love Lucy.

81. Strange concert venues:

Toward the ends of their respective careers, I saw (separate shows decades apart, different cities) Count Basie and B.B. King in high school gymnasiums.

Both great experiences.

Try two (DB"T2"):

John Cale, "Baby, What You Want Me to Do?" (feat. Chris Spedding, guitar):

Elvis (speaking of great voices, although maybe not here), on his comeback tour: "Baby, What You Want Me to Do?" (alternate cut):

Jackson Browne, a different kind of voice, his girlfriend for a while:

Nico, "These Days":

I'm offended by the word wierd.
He should change his name.

For trolling, I'd give it a 2.5 / 10.

Mid-60s white-boy folk blues, great voice. Spider John Koerner.

"Rent Party Rag," great story song, lotsa fun.

I should say Labor Day weekend. Also three-day.

Ravi Coltrane ...

55. I should have put a trigger label on it: not posted for the voices.

61. We're heading to Detroit Labor Day for world's largest free jazz festival. They livestreamed lots of it last year and had listeners from something like 140 nations. Our son was seeing John Scofield in person while I watched on my phone. The modern world has its occasional advantages.

Closes out with Ron Carter this year. He's still alive so far.

56. Some friends from North Carolina have traveled out to that festival. Very good reports.

Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, and Dolly Parton on Letterman. Unbelievable voices. The angel is Linda Ronstadt.

54. I'm thinking it's a generic Yiddish melody. I suspect characters in the background of "Fiddler on the Roof" are chanting it.

Or as "The Onion" once referred to it, "Get That Jew off the Roof!"

"In numbers, the US pales."

Clarification: the numbers of Americans gathering on this current bandwagon/distraction.

Started seriously on 9/11. The usual fear-peddling suspects driving useful idiots into a frenzy for fun and profit.

Like our fake Muslim president, "Muslims" had been hiding in secret cells for 1400 years just waiting for their chance: a billion people to evolve en masse into violent theocrats.

In numbers, the US pales.

Want to associate every US elected representative with the current regime in Israel? That country's ratio of national population to deaths incurred worldwide must be staggering in comparison as well.

Some AI results on "amount of its history Iran/Persia has spent in war":

Historians estimate that Iran (Persia) has spent roughly 30% to 45% of its 2,500-year recorded history actively engaged in major wars. Because its borders sit atop the Iranian Plateau"a vital continental bridge between Europe, Central Asia, and India, it has historically been a prime target for invasions and a powerful base for imperial expansion.

Modern Iran (1925-Present) ~15 years / 15% of era / Ba'athist Iraq, Internal Insurgencies

Before that, you're getting into dynasties and empires.

I invite US comparisons.

No love for Yoko?

All he wants is his own permanent place at 1600A Pennsylvania Avenue.

I need to check Zillow and see if there's such an address in Moscow.

Oligarcho-patriarchal-racist-homoerotic, child-raping Zionist theocracy.

God shed his grace on thee.

I feel fine.

Is this headline from 2020? Has everyone gone blank?

To hell with the Epstein Files.

RELEASE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.
