The Turbo is Back!!!!!!!

The best saddle ever made for cyclists was removed from the market years ago. This was a tragic day. Well, it appears the Selle Italia Turbo has been returned to market. Thank the Gods of cycling!

Fuck Woodstock. Seriously. Move the fuck on.

Watch this and tell me you are not smiling like a motherfucker.

Toots kicks some ass!

A brief note of correction on a recent comment on my old post on Boomers which makes a curious assertion:

If you look at the actual vital statistics numbers, the boomer gen isn’t really any bigger than Gen X, and neither is the “millenial” generation. They fudged the birth years when they were playing games with marketing. There was a boom in 1946, compared to the years *before* that. After that point They were all 3-4 million per year. There were as many people born in my birth year, 1971, as there were born in 1946, for example.

Hmm, let’s look at the data shall we?

If you find yourself talking about whether some shit is “correctly served” with or without some other shit and/or you widdle on about whether ethnic dishes and/or restaurants are suitably “authentic” it is 90/10 you are an insufferable asshole.

This is my new favorite flip-flop.

Why? You ask?

So, as expected Sotomayor cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee. Not all that surprising. Also, the Republican members acted like hypocritical partisan idiots, given that last time around they were universally claiming that Bush got to nominate Roberts and scAlito and insinuating that Dems should just rubber stamp them.

The panel’s 13-6 vote for Sotomayor masked deep political divisions within GOP ranks about confirming President Barack Obama’s first high court nominee. Just one Republican, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, joined Democrats to support her, although four others have said they’ll vote for Sotomayor when her nomination comes before the full Senate next week — and that number is expected to grow.

Whut? Could they be even more craven? Remember the “up or down vote” talking shouting point? This is like anti-logic to that. These Repubs on the Senate Judiciary Committee are voting against an up or down vote (i.e., not to let her out of Committee) but indicating they’ll vote for her when it comes to an up or down vote on the floor?

Good God what total fucking tools.

This blog is explosively hilarious!

Pot Roast:


I have this horrid picture of a nice, Midwestern family sitting down to an evening meal on “ethnic night”, with a nice big pot roast on the table and a jar of Pace picante sauce, and some crunchy taco shells.

Death:

Everything does not have a reason, and if God meant for there to be one, God can suck my dick. At the funeral was an old man who, in the last few years has lost two of his kids and his wife. At the funeral were two kids who have to find their way without their mom. At the funeral was a widower who looked as if he’d been hit by a truck. At the funeral were friends, the kind who stay on the phone together until two a.m. just talking about nothing, now waiting by the phone that doesn’t ring.

A little birdie claims that there is some chatter around the campfire about blogger meetup in San Diego. So let’s set that up again. here’s the dealio- if interested, email bikemonk at the googly one. talk to me about what you want-bloggers only? plus readers?

we’ll knock some details around and come up with a plan.

Srsly. You want to reach for higher heights? This is totally amazing….

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!
