Some mofo named “MonkeyPox” over at Comrade PhysioProf wrote a screed against a nasty little conspiracy called “The Family” or “The Fellowship”. AKA “C street”.

I bring this up because the latest Republican goat-fucker to get caught fucking goats (or in this case, an Argentinian), well, it turns out he belongs to a cult-within-a-cult.  He’s a member of “The Fellowship”, which also goes by the name, “The Family” (hmmm, where have we heard that name before?) Who are these people?

Well, for one thing, they sponsor the annual Circle Jerk National Prayer Breakfast which every president must attend and address lest he be thought to be a closet Jew homosexual atheist. Apparently, the Family also owns a house in DC commonly called “C Street” which hosts faithful politicians when they wish to pray, sleep, confess, and what-not.

Scary fucking shit. I was listening to Fresh Air with Terry Gross on this very topic yesterday. You can listen here or download the episode.It is an interview with one Jeff Sharlet who has apparently written a book about these subversive, secretive and anti-american conspirators.

The group’s approach to religion, Sharlet says, is based on “a sort of trickle-down fundamentalism,” which holds that the wealthy and powerful, if they “can get their hearts right with God … will dispense blessings to those underneath them.”

Members of the group ardently support free markets, in which, they believe, God’s will operates directly through Adam Smith’s “invisible hand.”

The elitism, paternalism and the belief that success on their agenda (even of the bloodiest dictators like Suharto) is evidence of God’s blessing, as related by Sharlet, is absofuckinglutely horrifying.

You know, when you realize that many members of Congress subscribe to this shit. The depiction in the interview of some Congressional member interviewing for membership like some acne-ridden frosh rushing Delta was particularly awesome.


Hmmm…what’s all this now??

Hmmmm… Wonder why not???

aughhhhh!!

Oh, wait… That is a complete crock of shit, isn’t it?

Lies, total lies.

Oh yes, more cows!

And she’s gone. What music she’s left behind though!

You were one HELL of a woman, Koko.

The good times rolled with you on stage!

I haven’t been able to find my copy of Earthshaker and I’m missing it…

I found this on my car door after concluding my shopping. (My anti-Prop 8 sticker is still on the car.)

Just sad that the passage of that proposition alienated good people who are just trying to get by. Sad that it is worth writing a note because some random has a bumpersticker of support…

Rockin!!!

Assiest Cover: Joplin’s Me and Bobbie McGee
UPDATE: This is a soundtrack use of the version she assed-up.

And Johnny Cash managed not to FIU too badly (too uptempo though). Waylon…too twangy.


The usual memery nonsense. Post your best/worst covers and tag some more muppethuggers. Oh and do a linkback to whomever tagged you if it wasn’t me.

I’ll tag drdrA, Abel Pharmboy, juniorprof, The Common Man, Comrade PhysioProf and Isis the Scientist when I get to it.

It had been far too long….

NPR has the call

At 69, Souter is nowhere near the oldest member of the court. In fact, he is in the younger half of the court’s age range, with five justices older and just three younger. So far as anyone knows, he is in good health.

Souter plans to retire at the end of the current Court term giving Obama his first opportunity to nominate a Justice. This blog endorses Bill Clinton!!! AHAHAHAHAAHHAH!!!

(no, really, I’m totes serious.)

Whaddaya think? Not too bad…

[ I've been checking this band out for a reason. There's apparently some nasty business having to do with the Pub owner stiffing them with some added anti Semitic bullshit. For older hands who have heard of this from afar, apparently Rob Porter sold the Pub some time ago so it isn't him that's the jerk. In case you were worried... ]

Could you please go away? Thank You. Let the adults who live in the works of objective reality handle it. Belief in magic fairies who will run the functions of government without anyone having to pay for it is stupid. Really. Just go away.

(oh and about that ‘taxation without representation’ thing…Dood. You LOST! That is not the same thing as not having any part in the process. Grow up already)
