I’m glad that some people really seem to like VC. But what really makes it worth doing are the people that hate it.

I found this review on iTunes:

“wow imagine a group of like-minded cons calling everyone or everything they disagree with stupid.nothing more nothing less. these are those narrow minded few americans who apparently loved the george bush presidency. incapable of depth of thought they project their own worst traits on to those who aren’t in their backwards simple group. and to think i wasted any time and brain cells on this one.” –redwood guy

(“redwood guy” seems to be missing a caps key.)

Vicious Circle: The hippies hate it.

That absolutely made my day. I couldn’t ask for a better endorsement.

“I’m not dead yet!”

Every time I hear that a Democrat cause is dead I think of Monty Python’s famous plague scene.

They don’t ever die, they just go hide until they can be passed at midnight on a voice vote.

Zombies!

On tonight’s B B & Guns.

I want to know what method is best for dispatching zombies, dismemberment or head shots?

And is the zombie virus airborne or does it still take blood to blood contact?

What about those old school one at a time Voodoo zombies?

I guess I’ll have to listen and find out.

.308 may be God’s caliber…

…but clearly Jesus is a .50 caliber guy.

When you have to reach out and smite someone…

(Oh, and BTW all you religion of peace apologists? The Christians won’t try to kill me for posting that picture.)

Holy Crap, that’s a good ad!

Every once in a while the stupid party isn’t so stupid.

14 Weeks from Republican Governors Association on Vimeo.

Makes me think of the “proud to be an American” Reagan years after Carter’s malaise.

I’m pretty sure that’s the intention.

Vicious Circle Live

Some poor sick individuals have expressed interest in listening to Vicious Circle live as it is being recorded. I don’t get it but if you are interested in listening I’m trying an experiment.

Details are here.

Whew.

You are 5% hippie.

Ok, you conservative soul. Do you even believe in global warming? Loosen that necktie a little, and try some organic food. It actually does taste better. And go to a farmer’s market–they’re fun.

Are you a hippie?

Now I need to find where that 5% snuck in and kill it.

Tabasco Chocolate

I found this a World Market the other day. Dark chocolate ( I like that!) with Tabasco (Hey, I like that too!).

You don’t taste the Tabasco right away, the chocolate taste overwhelms it. But as the chocolate fades, the zing comes through for a spicy aftertaste.

Very good.

Doing things right in Texas

Here’s another article about how Texas gets it right.

Texas’s economic growth and its success in attracting migrants defy easy explanations.

It’s not that much of a mystery. Texas still has a functional economy because we only let the state legislature meet for a few months every other year.

Duh.
