I like my eyewear like I like my politics— Bitterly polarized.

Easier to see that way.

Hurr durr, Bansky can draw but he has no real talent herp derp.

Ahoy, radio children of 1969!

It's 2019. (Well, it was when my brother sent this link.)


QUESTION:

What do you get in 2019 when you combine—

Spooky by Classics IV

with

Grazing in the Grass by Friends of Distinction?

ANSWER:

You get The Walk by Mayer Hawthorne!




PS— Years later some of the Classic guys re-collected each other to do another version of Spooky, and it included this guitar riff, five notes over four beats so that's twenty of something. It's like rubbing your belly in a circle while patting your crown with a tap.

Someone thought this was a good idea.

A Massachusetts woman who accused former Sen. Chris Dodd of sexually assaulting her after a booze-fueled dinner in 1985 is speaking out, saying she can’t understand why the Biden campaign tapped him to lead their vice presidential search.

Appointing Dodd to find a female running mate has to be one of the stupidest things the Biden campaign has done.

Biden, despite his public "wokeness," is a product of the old school Senate boy's club, where women were playthings for powerful men, alcohol flowed like a river, and bribes were a Senator's due.

Lyndon Johnson used to keep an upstairs room for senators to use for sexual trysts with women staff members.

As late as 2008, the Senate pool was reserved for men - as some Senators liked to swim naked (like Biden does).

Brock Adams, senator from Washington, was accused of sexual misconduct by no fewer than eight women. The party stood by him, but he chose to resign in the wake of declining voter support.

Ted Kennedy regularly propositioned teenaged girls, left Mary Jo Kopechne to drown, and created the now-famous "waitress sandwich" with his good buddy, then-Senator Chris Dodd.

Dodd, not stranger to sexual hijinks himself, was good friends with Harvey Weinstein and was appointed chairman of the MPAA after he left the Senate surrounded by multiple ethics clouds.

All of these folks were in Biden's orbit when was a senator (1973-2009).

Sounds nice.

According to a secret transcript that was just declassified on Monday, one of the spies the FBI deployed against George Papadopoulos said that Israelis and U.S. Jews are "all f---ing spies," referred to them as "f---ing c---suckers," and said they should all be executed.

Unfortunately, we're probably going to need another decade before all the old school prejudices are out of the government - a generation of people who came of age when Jews, blacks, Asians, etc. were "them" and "others."

I guess we can take some comfort in the fact that those old school prejudices are today being cloaked, for the most part, by people who've realized that society has changed.

Of course, after that we'll have to deal with a few new school prejudices, just as ugly and destructive. Society has changed, but human nature never does.

3.2 million new unemployment filings last week. That takes us to 33.5 million over the last 7 weeks, or 26% of the US workforce. Food banks being swamped, yada yada, you guys know the drill.

Looks like Biden is on the #BelieveAlmostAllWomen bandwagon.

"It will be put to a quick end in January 2021, because as president, I'll be right where I always have been throughout my career—on the side of survivors, who deserve to have their voices heard, their claims taken seriously and investigated, and their rights upheld," Biden said yesterday.

"George W. Bush made a moving, eloquent plea for empathy and national unity, which enraged Donald Trump enough that he felt the need to go on the attack."

Note: this was despite the fact that Bush never mentioned Trump in the video.
