You Got Your Bones To Make A Beat

Hey ho, it's the Friday Random Ten!

Sorry I haven't been posting much. Meatspace requirements intrude, yet again, and the wetware is straining.

But I can do a Ten! In deference to Zelmo, I'm going to skip the self-audit. It's going to come out at 6.8 or so anyway, right?


Two things to say about the Alito confirmation.

1. For a smarmy, grinning authoritarian squeezebag of a corporate shill who's got the demeanor of an wax dummy, and can't hide the fact that he's tickled pink that the vote is greased, he's sure been able to provide a butt-load of non-answers, hasn't he? Can we use a few of those Guantanamo 'stress positions'? Maybe a dog or two? I, for one, will accede to our autocratic corporate masters when they are ushered into control of our lives (especially you women) but did they have to do it through the device of an animatronic shill who can't wait to start dismantling the Bill of Rights, but won't admit it? If you're going to destroy the American Experiment, at least be upfront about it.

2. Lady, politics is rough. Wear a cup, or learn to fake tears better.

8. All That That Implies from the album “Resigned” by Michael Penn As Michael Penn said, it wasn't exactly a New Year's Rockin' eve, but it was tremendous fun and a proper way to discard that last hairball of a year.
