God, can you imagine how dang smart their kids are going to grow up to be?

And U.S. forces mistakenly killed 18 allies in Syria. Crappy crap. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-air-strike-idUSKBN17F1OT

Somehow this is where I picture other volumes going. Why do you guys think the title is "Together at Last"?

I know, I know- but the review I read on the new Guided By Voices double album says it's the most consistent since they reformed. I'm kind of hopeful. I know, I know.

Wow man. Sean Spicer really fucked up. That had to have been one of the most massive PR blunders in recent history.

Well this is hard for me. I really hate Al-Assad. That man is a piece of garbage, and I was kind of rooting for the revolutionaries to overcome their oppressors, but in reality nothing can be that simple, especially in the middle east. It doesn't take too long a memory to recall another middle-east dictator who used chemical weapons on his people and we thought the president could take unilateral action on his military.... etc. etc.

I'd read that they were going to make Susan Rice their new target. Sounds like it's gaining some traction with the constituents.

I AGREE!!

It's hard to be Freddie Freeloader when you're making just enough for the city. (I tried)

I don't point that arrow at you sir! And like I said I'd have to point half an arrow at me. I do like the pushback on my rockabilly stereotype. It's a cool style and likely, as with most stereotypes, my view is based on lack of experience and data. I won't take back what I said about Ness though. I have the data.

Re: Social D. I think their haters and lovers have taken it too far. Mommies Little Monster is a pretty classic punk record, s/t is cheesy but undeniably tuneful. The Soc D superfans are largely douche bags (as are an incomprehensible number of rockabilly fans for reasons I can never figure out), and Mike Ness is oh so easy to hate. The dude is a tool. As a teen I watched the Another State of Mind documentary on them, Youth Brigade and Minor Threat. There's a scene where Mike Ness is explaining himself to the camera as he smears his eyeliner in the bathroom mirror. Pretty hilarious.

I like many of these a lot (not Jerry so much but I get it). Sometimes when I think about the many years of great creations from Ira Kaplan it impresses me, maybe even more than Stephen Malkmus who occupies a similar sphere. No, maybe not like Tweedy where I'd rush to see him pull up a stool and an acoustic, but a staggeringly joyous catalog of music. As much as he has annoyed me at different points Paul McCartney (in spite of being obvious) has made way too many wonderful things not to mention.

Radiohead (I may have done this before) My Iron Lung Paranoid Android Idioteque Jigsaw Falling Into Place Pyramid Song Bob Dylan Visions of Johana Corrine, Corrina Mr. Tambourine Man Sara Girl From the North Country (Freewheelin Version) PJ Harvey Big Exit A Perfect Day Elise White Chalk C'mon Billy Who the Fuck?

The mere request for immunity increases suspicion in my eyes.

Feist!

Now he's putting it all on the line. I'm on the edge of my seat with no idea how this gambit will play. http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN16U14Q

And they delayed the vote on the health care bill! Apparently someone has lost touch with the art of the deal.

More news on Manafort: He laundered money for a pro-Russian Ukrainian group.

Fox called out the wire tap claim as false BEFORE Trump did. Crazy. I also saw a headline from an unreliable online source saying they're booting Judge Nepolitano (sp?). I'd love to corroborate that. Could Fox be going the way of George W where you think you like them for a minute because they appear slightly less awful?

I just read that the FBI had to respond, and correct Trump's misleading tweets about the case mid-hearing. Live tweets. This is what our country is coming to. Officials are fact checking the president's social media live in court.

That whole story is straight up scary stuff.

By a Hawaiian judge no less! Trump is fuming. I love this shit.

The dance around this health care bill is fascinating. Obviously dems, as well as some republican reps of the very moderate and extremely conservative types are against it. The really interesting thing is the 20 ft pole Trump is barely touching it with. Ryan is the only prominent figure championing it loudly. It has become politically treacherous for many congress people.

^ Ha!
