It really got annoying and I finally just went back to listening to the old stuff figuring that was going to be it for my lifetime.<br /><br />I enjoyed both flavors of the band, the David Lee Roth variety and Sammy Hagar as lead. Having the constant of Michael Anthony's driving bass and back-up voice gave a certain amount of continuity that allowed both the DLR and SH sounds to come through and establish themselves.<br /><br />You can imagine the excitement of finally seeing them back together for the <span style="font-style: italic;">"A Different Kind of Truth"</span> release in 2012. But what on earth were they thinking with putting out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WfQ-hV3WtA&noredirect=1"><span style="font-style: italic;">"Tattoo"</span></a> as the opener? I have to admit, the tune does grow on you after listening to it a few times but is this really the right debut song for such a big event? We can only hope this is designed to just be a tickler and the rest of the album is worthy of the Van Halen name. At least the titles seem to suggest that this might be the case. Is there method to the madness?GATChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11541648323071184846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38803752.post-25482662595991789282011-11-11T14:24:00.002+02:002011-11-11T14:43:38.818+02:00So How's That GLB Thing Working Out For You?Wow, what<a href="http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/bigten/story/2011-11-09/Joe-Paterno-fired-Penn-State/51147098/1"> a week for Penn State</a>. Looks like the freak show that academe has nurtured over the years through so-called diversity programs, speech codes, and an over abundance of gay-lesbian-bisexual (GLB) classes, clubs, degree programs, and other forms of disfunctionality has finally come back to roost so to speak. If you nurture this sort of disorientation, you eventually build a culture of acceptance, and accept it surely has. Decades of cover up by a too-big-to-fail athletic department has not only brought down <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/10/us-usa-crime-coach-police-idUSTRE7A978520111110">the revered JoPa </a>but has reached all the way to the President's House. Extraordinary!<br /><br />So PS has a real fix on its hands now. The <a href="http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2009/11/30/psu_investigates_climategate.aspx">Michael Mann controversy</a> will surely pale in comparison. If the NCAA has any balls, they'll shut down their entire athletic program for years. If the PS alumni have any scruples they'll vote with their check books. Once the criminal trials are complete, look for a whole host of civil cases. This will be interesting to watch.GATChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11541648323071184846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38803752.post-13261072320198335692011-10-15T16:21:00.003+02:002011-10-15T16:30:07.509+02:00What Could Possibly Go Wrong?For anyone not yet familiar with <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://wildbillforamerica.com/">"Wild Bill for America"</a>, I urge you to check him out, He is an excellent spokesman for the Tea Party, and the morons at the various "Occupy Wall Street" venues could only hope they had a person as articulate.<br /><br />His short videos are excellent and the <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://youtu.be/FeKwz9W8oWs">"Execution Solution"</a> is particularly first rate.<br /><br />He should definitely be on the short list for any future White House communications director.GATChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11541648323071184846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38803752.post-84921998172901883302011-08-31T21:34:00.001+03:002011-08-31T21:36:03.961+03:00Channeling Billy Carter<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir1FWcEd7Ur-WB6Q5vcdJSS8pdszNYOueWmj1EjhDvSEtL_gg27TP08LFOXN_KvQsEBXQ5fUSTnUf-8iO8cnpESFhU45J6OyMSIklOr39YLswataqZdDM3djzdinH2o7Lq8Wkp/s1600/Onyango-Obama-mugshot.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir1FWcEd7Ur-WB6Q5vcdJSS8pdszNYOueWmj1EjhDvSEtL_gg27TP08LFOXN_KvQsEBXQ5fUSTnUf-8iO8cnpESFhU45J6OyMSIklOr39YLswataqZdDM3djzdinH2o7Lq8Wkp/s320/Onyango-Obama-mugshot.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647090653366369778" border="0" /></a>

<br /></h3><h3>Recess? What Recess?</h3> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">A few House Republicans are holding the fort against Barack Obama's recess appointments this month while the rest of their colleagues are on August recess. According to the Constitution, the president may make unilateral temporary appointments to various agencies when Congress is not in session. However, neither the House nor the Senate may adjourn without the consent of the other chamber. The nine GOP representatives are holding pro-forma sessions every three days, thereby blocking the Senate from adjourning and preventing any Obama appointments. They are freshmen Jeff Landry (LA), Andy Harris (MD), Jeff Duncan (SC), Mick Mulvaney (SC), Jeff Denham (CA), Trey Gowdy (SC), Steve Stivers (OH), Allen West (FL), as well as three-term Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">The most recent benefit of this maneuver has been the House's blocking of Richard Cordray's appointment as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. These Republicans are living up to a promise made by 77 freshmen in June to do whatever was necessary to prevent Obama's ability to make another recess appointment. This procedure isn't new; Obama's two most recent predecessors were also stumped by it. Yet it still didn't stop Bill Clinton from making 139 recess appointments, or George W. Bush from making 171. Obama has made 21 in two-and-a-half years, due in part to the actions of Republicans like the group currently meeting in the House.</span></p><h3>Unions Stumble in Wisconsin Recall Elections</h3> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">Earlier this year, Wisconsin's Republican legislature and GOP Gov. Scott Walker made a series of reforms that took a bite out of public unions' lavish benefits. Predictably, the unions threw a tantrum. First, they spent millions to defeat a conservative justice on the state supreme court to help them win legal challenges. That didn't work, but they also forced several GOP lawmakers into recall elections. Those were held Tuesday, and, for the most part, that didn't work either. Republicans won four out of six elections -- a major blow to the unions and their allies, who once again spent millions to try to buy victory. One of the losing Republicans represented a heavily Democrat district, and the other was plagued by scandal and lost only narrowly. The four victors, however, also represented districts Barack Obama won in 2008.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">Round three will be recall elections next Tuesday for two Democrats who fled the state earlier this year in a vain attempt to obstruct Republicans in passing budget legislation. Delusional Democrats are trying to cast Tuesday's outcome as a win, but it's possible that the unions could go 0-for-3 if Democrats lose next week. Who would have thought it possible in Wisconsin, the home of "progressivism"?</span></p><p><span style="font-size:100%;">

When girlie men get to Washington and see themselves surrounded on all sides by boogeymen of the left and under constant sniper fire from the pipsqueaks, they usually mistake the noise of pipsqueakery for the voice of the people who sent them to Congress. Buckling under pressure seemed the better part of what passes for valor in these parts."</span><br /><br />But wait, there's more:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"President Obama arrived in Washington with schemes and dreams of blowing a bubble big enough to protect everyone from reality, whether they wanted to live in a bubble or not, but he didn’t understand that he was arriving just as the party was coming to its drunken conclusion. While Congress squirmed to an agreement on debt “relief,” trying to scratch as many itches as it could, Mr. Obama hid out at the White House, dreaming his dreamy dreams of ever-grander grandiloquence and desperate to stay out of the line of fire."</span><br /><br />And the pure poetry:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"But this time, the Republicans and other conservatives did not flinch, their spines stiffened by courage taken from the teapot. Washington hasn’t seen a panic like this since Beauregard sent the Federal army scrambling back to Washington from Manassas battlefield in the summer of ‘61. This was the change we’ve been hoping for."</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Hope and change in a magic tea party pot</span>; Wes Pruden, the

The tide had gone out; the tide came back. A center-right country restores the normal congressional map: a sea of interior red, bordered by blue coasts and dotted by blue islands of ethnic/urban density."</span><br /><br />[snip]<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"Our two most recent swing cycles were triggered by unusually jarring historical events. The 2006 Republican "thumpin'" (to quote George W. Bush) was largely a reflection of the disillusionment and near-despair of a wearying war that appeared to be lost. And 2008 occurred just weeks after the worst financial collapse in eight decades. Similarly, the massive Republican swing of 2010 was a reaction to another rather unprecedented development - a ruling party spectacularly misjudging its mandate and taking an unwilling country through a two-year experiment in hyper-liberalism." </span><br /><br />[snip]<br /><br /><p> <span style="font-style: italic;">"The Republicans won by default. And their prize is nothing more than a two-year lease on the House. The building was available because the previous occupant had been evicted for arrogant misbehavior and, by rule, alas, the House cannot be left vacant. <span style="font-weight: bold;">The president, however, remains clueless. </span>In his next-day news conference, he had the right demeanor - subdued, his closest approximation of humility - but was uncomprehending about what just happened. The "folks" are apparently just "frustrated" that "progress" is just too slow. Asked three times whether popular rejection of his policy agenda might have had something to do with the shellacking he took, he looked as if he'd been asked whether the sun had risen in the West. Why, no, he said."</span></p><p>Can't wait until 2012 !!<span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span> </p>GATChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11541648323071184846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38803752.post-80937750525358980672010-08-21T15:14:00.004+03:002010-08-21T15:20:25.865+03:00Excellent Analysis by the NYT (circa 1924); idiots.....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpCXInH0MjJiEXBLohgKuDPuODWRlCbxkbxs92l22DVftFhiDZXCvXalpLKKqIyLueBXC4Nf2blYTWPhgixbUJWgDzmeMUkN60qpLznWz7wjfI-Squ4O9ByoV89uYkFZuaaAXi/s1600/Worst-prediction-ever-New-York-Times.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 255px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpCXInH0MjJiEXBLohgKuDPuODWRlCbxkbxs92l22DVftFhiDZXCvXalpLKKqIyLueBXC4Nf2blYTWPhgixbUJWgDzmeMUkN60qpLznWz7wjfI-Squ4O9ByoV89uYkFZuaaAXi/s320/Worst-prediction-ever-New-York-Times.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507836893308298722" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Courtesy of the Peter Rost blog:GATChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11541648323071184846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38803752.post-83869601597563241222010-05-23T02:36:00.003+03:002010-12-29T15:02:50.662+02:00Goblins Beware !Miracles do happen !

Can the system ever really work again?<br /><br />Going right to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Krauthammer's</span> article:<br /><br /><em>"Leave it to Mickey <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kaus</span>, a principled liberal who supports health care reform, to debunk these structural excuses: "Lots of intellectual effort now seems to be going into explaining <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Obama's</span> (possible/likely/impending) health care failure as the inevitable product of larger historic and constitutional forces. ... But in this case there's a simpler explanation: Barack <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Obama's</span> job was to sell a health care reform plan to American voters. He failed." He failed because the utter implausibility of its central promise -- expanded coverage at lower cost -- led voters to conclude that it would lead ultimately to more government, more taxes and more debt. More broadly, the Democrats failed because, thinking the economic emergency would give them the political mandate and legislative window, they tried to impose a left-wing agenda on a center-right country. The people said no, expressing themselves first in spontaneous demonstrations, then in public opinion polls, then in elections -- Virginia, New Jersey and, most emphatically, Massachusetts. That's not a structural defect. That's a textbook demonstration of popular will expressing itself -- despite the special interests -- through the existing structures.

As MSNBC's Chris Matthews explained, it was just the voters saying "no" generally, but not to anything in particular. Except when Republicans win political power, they hold onto it long enough to govern. The Democrats keep being smacked down by the voters immediately after being elected and revealing their heinous agenda. As a result, for the past four decades, American politics has consisted of Republicans controlling Washington for eight to 14 years -- either from the White House or Capitol Hill -- thus allowing Americans to forget what it was they didn't like about Democrats, whom they then carelessly vote back in. The Democrats immediately remind Americans what they didn't like about Democrats, and their power is revoked at the voters' first possible opportunity. Obama has cut the remembering-what-we-don't-like-about-Democrats stage of this process down from two to four years to about 10 months.
