Independence Day

In Congress, July 4, 1776,

THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF THE THIRTEEN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

64.7% of Non-Registered Eligible Voters Support a 3rd Party


[via]
According to a recent survey conducted by StruttsPolls™ a large majority of 22 year-old white male non-registered eligible voters would support a 3rd party because they couldn’t remember the first two.

64.7% of the non-registered voters polled in Rudy’s backyard last weekend said that they’d register to vote if the Party Party was established. The remaining 35.3% wavered between the Toga Party and the Hot Chicks Naked In Jacuzzis With Beer Party.

Saturday Matinee – Atlas Shrugs, Wendy’s Training Rap & an Awesome Jam

Now THIS should be awesome. Part I of  Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” is scheduled for release on 15 April 2011, and the date is no coincidence. I guarantee the movie will be trashed by leftists even before it’s released, just as Terry Gilliam’s great movie  “Brazil” was panned.

Meanwhile, for those of you who don’t know how to put ice in a cup and fill it with soda, and can’t follow directions as simple as “put ice in the cup and fill it with soda,” here’s Wendy’s Rap Tutorial.

How a song was born. A lotta glorious awesome was congregated in that room and recorded on celluloid.

And with that, we’re out. See you back here tomorrow for more fun.

Saturday Matinee – Obama, Dinah, Oliva & Traffic

Before we proceed with today’s entertainment, here’s a message from The President. [h/t Willzone]

Let’s crank up some vintage Dinah Washington, shall we? [h/t coldwarrior]

Someone else suggested a nice fistfulla salsa, so here it is.

Traffic from 1972. Great jazz-rock stuff, and it wasn’t pretentious at all, just nice rhythm and grooves. (Okay, it was kinda pretentious, but it was cool at the time.)

Have a great weekend folks, and be back here tomorrow for more fun.

Something Awesome Happened Today.

Remember the California kid who was suspended from school for having an AMERICAN FLAG on the back of his bike? The school was afraid that the kid’s display of OUR NATION’S FLAG might cause racial tensions. The story has an awesome outcome.

Original stupid story here.

Here’s the awesome outcome.

—————————————-

Meanwhile, something bad happened. A kid got slapped for getting out of line in Kansas City, MO. But that’s not the bad part. THIS IS. And it’s 40 page diatribe of serious insanity from the boy’s mother.

(Tip o’ the Tarboosh to Savage.)

Saturday Matinee – Miles, George, Michael, Frank & Janis

[Updated post: I deleted my unnecessary political rant. I decided that it doesn’t belong on this blog, and, aside from letting me vent, all it does is tick people off. Lo siento mucho. –Bunk]

Here’s  a dose of awesome:

Miles Davis was always awesome, especially in his later funk years. Didja catch the background jam? It obviously came from here:

George Clinton’s Parliament cranked it, although Clinton’s Funkadelic  “Maggot Brain” was my favorite. Here’s an alternate version:

Poor video, but nice audio by Michael Hampton. Let’s segue…

Zappa’s “Black Napkins” is a classic, and it’s probably derived, or at least related in an odd sort of way, from this:

Yep. That’s the Janis. Have a great weekend, folks, and be back here for more fun tomorrow.

Just Another Day

[Image found here.]

So there I was, filling up the tank with paraffin, and I spotted a javalina hog. Great. Now I gotta go home dig a pit, build a fire and find some box springs. On the plus side, we won’t have to go to the butcher shop until November 2nd.

One is awesome, one is not. Coincidence?

Hazard on the Pitch

Sure it’s a funny picture, but the story is anything but.

Spectacular project of Sebastian Errazuriz in 2006 (“Memorial of a Concentration Camp”, Santiago, Chile):

“A 10-meter magnolia tree is planted in the center of Chile’s National Stadium where dictator Pinochet in 1973 imprisoned thousands of political prisoners who were tortured and killed.

After planting the tree, the stadium doors are open to the public as a park, offering a space to stop, look again, and remember.

An impossible, cathartic soccer match played before 20,000 people, closes the project after a week of activity.”
