Imagine my surprise that Lee Stranahan responded to my post with more clownish idiocy.

This is exactly what I said in the post. There’s no point engaging with these people; they’ll just double down and be even more stupid and insulting.

I expect the rest of the right wing blogosphere to follow suit. It’s pathetic what’s become of those people. They used to pride themselves on getting facts and logic correct — now they’re so consumed with hatred and paranoia they’ve turned into a huge joke. The world’s biggest echo chamber, with no deviation from the received wisdom allowed.

Left wing blogs have their own problems, but there’s much more real debate and honest argument going on there these days. I can’t even read most of the righty blogs any more; they’re just depressing.

Agreed, the right wing has collectively gone over the edge, with some exceptions here and there. The reasons may be diverse, from ideological opposition to partisanship to pure racism, but the end result is an “opposition” that’s gone out of its gourd. Next year is not going to be pretty, by any stretch of the imagination.

used to road trip Little Feat gigs, and a friend from Austin would invariably pop up somewhere…she is an expert tekillya drinker and always had a couple of $50-75 bottles to share…complete with little colored shot glasses and serving try…some of that stuff you could drink like water…good times

Took a stroll over to Jim “Dim” Hoft’s site, Gateway Douchebag, to see what the nut had misspelled. Ran into this link that his panties up his ass. Some toy store is selling revolution action figures. A box of five gets you Lenin, Che’, Mao, Ghandi and Malcolm X. Now, Dim calls them all “mass murderers. I don’t recall Ghandi ever going on a killing rampage. Malcolm X might have iced someone in his hustler years, though I don’t recall him ever mentioning that in the autobiography authored by Alex Haley. The comments are HILARIOUSLY stupid, shocker, I know. Take the very first one referring to Malcolm X:

I guess that I just haven’t listened enough to Hornsby’s more recent stuff, but I love a lot of his classic stuff with the Range, such as just about the whole The Way It Is album (which I had won on cassette eons ago at a JA thing in middle school) and “The Show Goes On” (used on the Backdraft soundtrack; it’s become one of my favorite Hornsby songs).

That was actually my gig for a few years in the early 70s, writing for an entertainment rag in Philly. I interviewed a lot of also-rans, but also got to interview bona-fide legends like Rory Gallagher.

I always get a reaction when I tell the youngsters that I got to play Rory’s Stratocaster.

Gandhi didn’t hate anybody. He had some ideas about pacifism that would have been suicidal for a nation to follow, but he was no species of haters. Of course Jim Hoft can’t understand that, though I also think the action figure seller is grouping those figures in a way he should. Gandhi and Malcolm X can be in a “Great Leaders For Justice” category, while Lenin, Mao, and Guvara belong in the “Left-Wing Monsters” section.

actually I think they peaked well after George’s passing…they were just unreal through the 90’s and 2000’s…the let go of Shaun Murphy and then my buddy Richie Hayward died and it’s back to the drawing board…but they were utterly spectacular, every night…just the finest sonic experience ever…the best live band I ever saw, by far

re: #61 Dark_Falcon

If I’m going to laugh at Dim for his “spelling inaccuracies,” then I have to call it on myself to be fair. It’s “Gandhi,” not “Ghandi” as I’ve been spelling it.
