Fall and the exploding heads


It’s fall – the leaves are turning and the heads of RW nut jobs are exploding

I’m impressed here all of sudden with what’s happening and on some level it just confirms what I’ve always thought - that people will start to think logically about something only when they have exhausted every other avenue – sometimes twice.

Meantime – while normally amused in a snarky way by the bellowing of the right wing – now – as the water is rising at their feet and they start to squeal like rats in a death cage, it’s just depressing as hell. The ones that aren’t drifting into the upper reaches of cloud koo-koo land (that’s were Obama is a Muslim Maoist terrorist who will make us all have teh gay sex) are lapsing into a self pitying mulishness.

However, it was ever thus I suppose – the end of Nixon was not very satisfying from an emotional standard either – in the end he just became a broken wreck wandering about the white house talking to paintings. It would take a heart of stone to not feel at least a little bad for the man, even if he was a complete son of a bitch – he was a human being.

It’s the same here – the wheels come off and the right starts tearing at itself, wondering how it could come to this – and looking down the gun barrel of near total repudiation they are losing it on a level that makes you start to cringe. Some of these folks are just sad lost worshipers of big daddy power – some however are just fucking nut bags whose anger is just all consuming. And what is making their heads explode is that they really can’t say the most basic reason they hate Obama – his skin color. Oh they want to but we’ve made enough progress in the country that at least they can’t come out and say it.

They do try to get around this in weird ways – one rw has gone on the record as saying that if Obama was white they would hitting him much harder (and pray just how is accusing him of being pals with terrorists going easy?) which is pretty laughable.

Personally, I do expect the race to tighten up a bit – unless McCain just absolutely loses his mind on TV – (which is a possibility) – it is the natural order of things. Still Christopher Buckley – Son of that Buckley is going to vote for Obama.

Meantime – it looks more and more like a Philly Rays series which will excite the fans of the phillies and the Rays but few others. Eh – Wait until the Buffalo – Carolina Super bowl .

Anyway we’re back rehearsing and getting ready for the outrage that we hope will be our annual Halloween show – it’ll be one of the few times we’re not the only folks in the weird costumes.

It is going to be a bit of homecoming for me – playing down in the financial district near where I used to work and where the Orange Bear was – it has gone away it has as all things do. So I’m looking forward to it.

It was funny we were all so happy to be back and playing that we just played way too loud.

Got another special cover coming for the show and we hope you get there – it’s kind of a big gig for us so if you can – do.

More begging to follow.

Peace love you have to come!
