Laughable

Oh, it's a Friday Random Ten cuz I like doin 'em I do.

This one goes out to the Gang Who Couldn't Shoot Straight, 2006: After Mr. Lieberman's team totally botched handling their website (transferring it to a low-volume el cheapo host just before the primary and then being surprised when it exceeded traffic limits; not to mention blaming it on the Lamont campaign), I predicted they were so inept that they probably wouldn't get the thing together before the election.

Guess what? They still haven't. Apparently being stupid and vicious, as well as badmouthing the net users, does not endear yourself to the people who actually put the web sites together, because they can't find someone to do the new site, even when they're offering those Big Republican Dollars (if you aren't following, Joe is relying on Republican support for his quixotic campaign. He votes Republican, he gets his financing from Republican donors, he kisses Republicans..remind me just how he's a democrat again?) I'll say it again: If Holy Joe is such a great guy, we'll just let the Republicans have him. He's ostensibly worked for us for 18 years; it's your turn now guys. Take him. Please.

But the yuks go further: Joe is running, not as an Independent (not enough ego stroking there, I'd guess) but as the Connecticut for Lieberman Candidate. A one person party, named after the only person in the party... Even Lyndon LaRouche and Ross Perot weren't THAT full-goose bozo loony egotistic. BUT- and here's the funny part- You'd think that the campaign would go out and lock up those domain names, right?

Hey. WRONG.

Not to mention that now that the primary is done and more voters are getting a look at the REAL Joe (nasty, egotistical, whiny, and opportunistic) as well as Ned Lamont, Lieberman's support is dwindling and his negatives are increasing. He's lost about ten percentage points of support since the primary.

2. Apologies To Pearly from the album “Six Pack (Disc 1) [1st Album & Rio Grande Mud]” by ZZ Top ZZ rocks. Without a doubt, despite the mid-80's MTV overplay.
3. Nocturnal - Tell Me What You're Feeling from the album “Give 'Em The Boot II” by Various Artists Rockin punky ska. HellCat label.
4. Cry if You Want To from the album “Change” by Ray Wilson
5. Fields Of Fire from the album “Come Up Screaming (Disc 2)” by Big Country
6. Obsessed With Aretha from the album “Acid Bubblegum” by Graham Parker “She still got the lungs and the dress and the stole/ you might even say the girl's still got soul/ but not that much”
7. Be Mine from the album “New Adventures In Hi-Fi” by R.E.M. Under rated mid-career REM album. Great up loud, but then what isn't?

9. Love That Kills from the album “Secret Life Of The 81 - 85” by The Waterboys The Big Music
10. Lola from the album “To The Bone (Disc 2)” by The Kinks One for Nick. A good anti-conservative cross-dressing gay song from a band named after kinky sex. Told you I had Kinks on the box Nick.
