Spotted this “Who is John Galt?” stencil in my neighborhood. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen any street art around here referencing Ayn Rand or Atlas Shrugged.

Maybe you have Libertarian Hipsters in your neighborhood.
Frodo lives!
The GOP is nothing if not predictable.
where’s Waldo?
@ Bumr50:
I heard that stuff 50 years ago…modern party?
show me the beef
@ heysoos:
Where the hell is Reince most of the time?
I see that Wasserman-Schultz thing everywhere.

things are mighty crazy…
This is a representative intellectual regarding the

@ RIX:
is the internet cool or what?…the nuts are loose
Yeah, it’s so easy to be nasty on the net.
Gun control gang members first, before even thinking about law abiding citizens.
I yield to the wall of pop politics, if you need to stay and get creamed fine…I choose otherwise and music gives me a huge outlet, especially the blues, and I’m on the dodge…dig this
No, that would involve real work.
I do what I want and ignore the rules, just like the feds, a perfect roll model for me and my kids…you disobey the law, so do I brother…fuck you with your security and rock star status
@ heysoos:
@ darkwords:
Take it from a Canadian, it just doesn’t work. The huge outrage now is that a 9 year old kid was shot in the head up here and died. Hand gun was the weapon. And those have been “illegal” for more decades than I have been alive. Just…won’t…happen….
@ Bumr50:
like the rest, Zep was a blues band at heart…they turned the blues in another sonic direction…but it’s just the blues…did you notice? of course you do…..nice post, thanks

Who’S afraid of Michelle Bachmann
No mention of her husband or religion. But an interesting look at the left organizing. It is like a David and Goliath battle. We need a gutsy kid with a good slingshot to rally the other kids.

Haven’t they been working on that? I mean PP takes a real proactive position on that….

Hey thanks!
The hockey game’s back on, but here’s one more:
@ 21 heysoos: gun hysteria without a recognition of death. They need to be painted as irrational hysterics.

Have they blamed the NRA yet?
if anyone wants to know why nothing ever changes, Hannity has a special on right now about the way DC has become a boomtown.
7 of the 10 counties with the highest per capita income in the country are in the DC metro area now.
Ted Nugent is ready for Concord There is a truth there. I haven’t thought about it a lot before, but these days individuals need to get organized and network out.
@ lobo91:
We don’t have an NRA up here. So they blame the usual, Americans….

That’s what I meant
No different from politicians in NYC and Chicago blaming people in Virginia for their criminals.
Zep’@ Bumr50:
that was way cool bro, never heard it….
so much music, so little time
This is a novel defense:
@ lobo91:
It may be novel, but it sure ain’t new.
It’s “ignorance of the law.”
And I remember something about it NEVER being an excuse.
@ lobo91:
Now, that’s appalling….
@ Bumr50:
Of course, it’s the UK. I’m actually surprised that they used the word “Muslim” in the story. They usually use “Asian” as code.
Good job by Hannity, he took the “two party evil money cult in D.C.” and used “Boom Town” and the fact that the greed of the R’s and D’s and their enabler corps has made the D.C. area the richest place this side of the Saudi oil tick kingdom.
now if the msm can just do a 1/4th of the job they should,,,
He should give this blog credit points too
his producers read here I am sure…@ lobo91:
Job creation!!

On topic, it’s heartening that no one has laid a Che stencil over top of that yet…
I love how this guy on Ancient Aliens starts his theory under the assumption that contact has, IN FACT, happened.
We’re only worried about WHEN, now!
Jay Z is fucking coward camel look alike. I know who he really is. Back in 92/93 he was robbed by Latin Kings and Italian Mobsters after Shows.
In 2001, Nas destroyed him> The first 30 seconds of this video I really appreciate!

Fuck Jay Z.
Shout out to Lope Fiasco who hates that Cornball Brother Obama.
Fuck the Hipster Demo-KKK-Rat Party.
@ Bumr50:
I believe the AA theory. As Catholic it does not contradict my faith. In a odd way, it complements it.
@ Rodan:
I don’t have a problem with the contact theory, just observing the orange man’s over-the-top theorizing. He gets really excited!
My wife has a family feud within her clan in regards to the Kecksburg incident as to what actually was seen!
You just can’t make this stuff up.

It was a Nazi UFO from SS Obergruppenführer Hans Kammler’s secret Nazi Antarctic UFO and U-Boat base. Alert Charles Johnson!
@ The Osprey:
Iron Sky is great movie!
Rodan wrote:
Kammler is part of the back story to that!
He was a civil engineering genius but a real evil bastard. He designed the crematoria and gas chambers for the death camps, and also the Mittlewerke, the underground factory where the V-2 rockets were built. After the SS took over the rocket projects from the Wehrmacht and the jet fighter projects from the Luftwaffe in 1944 on Hitler and Himmler’s orders Kammler was put in charge of all the infrastructure relating to the Wünderwaffe. His final end remains one of the most intriguing mysteries of WWII and the source of much speculation and conspiracy theories.
Werner Von Braun his team of rocketry engineers were afraid Kammler’s men were going to assassinate them before they could surrender to American forces.

That is the key. We have to start calling our weapons “personal defense weapons”. Who could be in favor of banning “personal defense weapons”? Of course, the gun grabbers will be, but the point is to get yhe low info voters thinking o fthem as personal defense weapons. You can’t sell a ban on them that way.

So, the GOP reelected Reince Priebus to the chairmanship as though he’s done such a great job in his first term! Did they notice that we got our heads handed to us in November BECAUSE THE PARTY COULDN’T EVEN GET ITS BASE TO TURN OUT?
Yeah, great job Reince, how about a re-up!
My party is looking increasingly suicidal.
@ MacDuff:
It’s pathetic that nobody even ran against him.
@ MacDuff:
@ mfhorn:
I’ve been saying this other places, and lots of people are telling me (from “OUR” side) that I want to be “just like the Democrats.”
As if ANY deviation from the current, stubborn idiocy is akin to defeat.
We’ve got problems.
Apple needs to lead the way by manufacturing its products in the US.. Apple’s coming under increasing scrutiny and they’re looking more in disarray than they have been in years; the hole left by Jobs’ death is becoming very evident. Manufacturing their products in the US won’t necessarily enhance their innovation, but it’d sure polish their public image.
@ mfhorn:
@ Bumr50:
In nautical terms, we’re adrift and if we don’t get the engines up and running we’re going to continue to be an easy target. Sure Priebus talks a good game and he gets off a few good volleys at times, but I don’t think he knows anything about getting the engines up and running.
@ MacDuff:
Apple’s proprietary BS when it comes to music (and other soft and firmware) soured me on Apple long ago.
I’m not a “fanboy” either way, but if iTunes is the answer we need to ask a new question.
@ MacDuff:
I rarely ever see him, which means he’s not doing his job, IMHO.
I couldn’t stand Steele, but at least he got his face out there.

@ Mike C.:
Read this. It seems interesting.

It probably covers a lot of the same stuff on a different decade (yeah I know -- not an accurate de-abbreviation).
However the guy writes for a living and not political stuff either (although lately he seems to be doing it more).
Anyway take care. I think I know how you feel, but this is the internet so I am not even sure you is you (if you get my drift).
Aloha
Mamet is a liberal who saw the light…during either the first a second bush admin. Wrote a book about why he turned conservative, it caused a real stink among the chattering class.
