Devo: Don’t Roof Rack Me, Bro! (Seamus Unleashed)

Deal-breaker
Music • Views: 30,531

Rolling Stone has the data: Song Premiere: Devo, ‘Don’t Roof Rack Me, Bro (Seamus Unleashed)’.

Devo’s Jerry Casale wants it to be known that their newest song, “Don’t Roof Rack Me, Bro,” isn’t meant as a partisan statement – even though it viciously mocks Mitt Romney for strapping his Irish Setter, Seamus, to the roof of his car for a 1983 family vacation.

“This isn’t a red-state thing or Devo stumping for Obama,” he says. “But I think any animal lover that hears the story will learn so much about the character flaw of Romney. It’s just a deal-breaker about the man. My God, the world is a scary place with seven billion people. What you want in a leader is a guy with some humanity at his core. I just don’t feel that Mitt does.”

UPDATE at 8/15/12 2:28:46 pm

Ry Cooder actually had a song about Seamus first, featured here last week:

Investigators said that it was too early to say whether the organization was targeted for its political views, but made clear that would be part of the investigation.

"We don't know enough yet about him or his circumstances to be able to determine his connection to this group or to the business or to what, you know, mentally what he's doing or thinking. So we're going to try to sort it all out, and pull the evidence together, do as many interviews as we can, and get it all together," said FBI Assistant Director James McJunkin.

Holy crap, there's a White House brewery!?

Officials discussed the brewery after President Obama told some Iowa residents that he had some of its product stocked aboard the bus he's using for a three-day tour of the Hawkeye State.

"There is a home brew, if you will, at the White House," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.

It's called White House Honey Ale, with both light and dark varieties.

Probably yet one more government job that Mitt Romney would slash.

The difference is the Obama cuts go back into the healthcare system under the ACA, while the Ryan plan just cuts the money.

Not really...

.....the Ryan budget plan included cost savings that were part of the future health care law. Just recently, the Romney campaign backed away from that play, saying Romney’s plan would restore the spending that the health law is set to curtail, such as extra funding for private insurers under the Medicare Advantage plan.

Still, Cutter was right about the Ryan plan. We rate her statement True.

Ryan's plan used the same savings from Obama's HCR. Mitt's plan (today) is to restore the funding.

Anti-Gay Group Responds To FRC Shooting With Request To Sign Anti-Gay Pledge

Backers of the Manhattan Declaration have issued a press release about the FRC shooting. The message closes by asking for more signatures on their anti-gay pledge, whose signees vow to disobey any laws that protect LGBT Americans.

Today, the news broke of a shooting at the Family Research Council, a think tank in Washington, D.C. that promotes faith, family, and freedom. The FRC has been a friend of the Manhattan Declaration from our very first day. Though the details remain unclear, it seems a security guard prevented the shooter from venturing beyond the lobby. At some point in the intervention, he was shot. Initial reports are that the guard will be okay. Such heroic action warrants a thanks beyond mere words. But, for now, words will suffice. Thank you for your bravery, Leo. And for the part you play in the pursuit of a more free, more faithful nation. Sign the Declaration.

23 LGBT Groups Issue Statement on Family Research Council Shooting

Following this morning's shooting of a security guard at the Christian lobbying group Family Research Council, 23 LGBT groups have issued a joint statement:

We were saddened to hear news of the shooting this morning at the offices of the Family Research Council. Our hearts go out to the shooting victim, his family, and his co-workers.

The motivation and circumstances behind today’s tragedy are still unknown, but regardless of what emerges as the reason for this shooting, we utterly reject and condemn such violence. We wish for a swift and complete recovery for the victim of this terrible incident.

re: #31 Kragar

The difference is the Obama cuts go back into the healthcare system under the ACA, while the Ryan plan just cuts the money.

And due to the fact that they go back into the healthcare system they result in actual savings to Medicare through reduced expenditures. Because people getting the preventative care they need won't hit the Medicare system with a shit ton of differed treatment and advanced, more expensive to treat conditions.

Whereas Paul Ryan's plan just fucks everyone.

Ryan's plan used the same savings from Obama's HCR. Mitt's plan (today) is to restore the funding.

So $716 billion more in spending that he'll have to take from somewhere else.

The man keeps talking about how he's going to cut spending, yet whenever something is proposed that proves unpopular, he quickly jumped up and declares that he won't cut that spending after all.

Limbaugh: Like Hitler, Obama And Democrats Are More Concerned With Propaganda Than Truth

LIMBAUGH: Propaganda versus truth -- which wins? Well, what did -- what was Hitler more concerned with? Propaganda. Did Hitler succeed for a time? Yeah, he did. What was Clinton more concerned with -- truth or propaganda? What's Obama more concerned with -- truth or propaganda? Who would you say is winning? Is propaganda winning or truth winning? We, the virtuous ones in our society -- we think truth wins. We have this investment in the truth. We think it's holy. We think that it is profound, and we think it's persuasive.

I play you three minutes of Wolf Blitzer cleaning Debbie's clock and I get an email, "No, no, Rush, she -- Ryan shreds Medicare was said I don't know how many times."

That's what people are going to hear, because the fear will always trump the good. Because people react to fear.

Hearing multiple Republicans describe Paul Ryan as an "intellectual" this week got me wondering why there seems to be a strong need in their party to imagine various Republican celebrities as "intellectual". It used to Gingrich, or William F Buckley.

I feel that GOP voters have a desire for someone they can trust to do their thinking for them, so they don't have to. A variation on their consistent pseudo-Fascist desire for a strong leader - someone who can take charge of things so the GOP base can be relieved of angst, guilt, and personal responsibility - and who comes in three flavors:

1. The militaristic strong man who uses violent rhetoric against his enemies.

2. God's chosen one who's every action is correct because he is endorsed by the Almighty.

3. Or the Big Brain intellectual who's got it all figured out so it's okay if you don't understand things.

All three fill a need for relief from the terrifying burden of making choices oneself. Just follow the leader and you needn't be troubled by thought again.

Mitt Romney's favorite novel

When asked his favorite novel in an interview shown yesterday on the Fox News Channel, Mitt Romney pointed to “Battlefield Earth,” a novel by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. That book was turned into a film by John Travolta, a Scientologist.

A spokesman said later it was one of Mr. Romney’s favorite novels.
“I’m not in favor of his religion by any means,” Mr. Romney, a Mormon, said. “But he wrote a book called ‘Battlefield Earth’ that was a very fun science-fiction book.” Asked about his favorite book, Mr. Romney cited the Bible.

I'm amused how so many right-wing sites are sticking their necks out and calling the FRC shooter a "left-wing gunman"

It's just as likely he's a disgruntled ex-employee, or a conservative who had a falling out with FRC, etc.

The gunman is reported to have said ""Don't shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for". But that could also be the words of a disgruntled employee arguing over being fired (for example), and not any indication of his political leanings.

Hey Lizards! How was your day? Mine was pretty good - Joe Biden saved me from a speeding ticket! No, really!

See, we're out driving home from a day hiking in the woods and I get out of a little town and hit the gas a bit hard. I look and see a dark blue State Trooper squad coming my way - I'm at 65 in a 55. Ooops!

He whips around, I pull over and get out my license and insurance slip. He comes walking up and looks closely at our bumper sticker - "Bin Laden is Dead. GM is Alive. Obama symbol" - and comes up to the window all nice and friendly. A state trooper in a good mood? WTF? And then he gives me a warning and sends me on my way. So since Joe made the joke that my bumper sticker is based on, I figure I owe Joe Biden a beer if I ever meet him.

Organization of Islamic Cooperation suspends Syria

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) suspended Syria's membership early on Thursday at a summit of Muslim leaders in Mecca citing President Bashar Assad's violent suppression of the revolt, it said in a closing statement.

"The conference decides to suspend the Syrian Arab Republic membership in the OIC and all its subsidiary organs, specialized and affiliated institutions," the closing statement said.

The move had been approved on Monday at a preliminary meeting of OIC foreign ministers and was agreed on the summit's second night of meeting despite opposition by Iran.

The document directs “state agencies to deny driver’s licenses and other public benefits to young illegal immigrants who obtain work authorizations” and “directs state agencies to start emergency rulemaking processes as necessary to implement her order.”

Partial victory in Ohio.

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has directed all 88 of the state's counties to follow the same early voting schedule. As reported previously, the election boards of Republican-dominated counties had extended their early voting hours in October to evenings and weekends while Democratic counties had had their efforts to extend early voting blocked.

It's not extended hours everywhere (who actually wants voters to vote?!), but at least it's fair.

This song's a little out of character for Devo - less surreal, more political. I was hoping for more weirdness.

See, they already did their Romney song in 1979. They just didn't know it then.

Never leaves a gap unfilled
Always pays on time, always fits the bill
He comes well prepared

Cube top, squared off
Eight corners, 90-degree angles
Flat top, stares straight ahead
Stock parts, blockhead

Never trips over, stands up on his own
He is a blockhead, thinking man full grown
He comes well prepared

Cube top, squared off
Eight corners, 90-degree angles
Flat top, stares straight ahead
Snake eyes, blockhead

Is the Secretary of State Republican?.....if so, he might want to start looking for a new job. Making it harder to suppress the vote is not very popular in that party, I hear.

Plastic man (plastic man).

He's got plastic flowers growing up the walls,
He eats plastic food with a plastic knife and fork,
He likes plastic cups and saucers 'cause they never break,
And he likes to lick his gravy off a plastic plate.

Robert owes half to Grenville
Who in turn gave half to Larry
Who adored my instrumentals
And so he gave half to a foreign publisher
She took half the money that was earned in some far distant land
Gave back half to Larry and I end up with half of goodness knows what
Oh can somebody explain why things go on this way
I thought they were my friends I can't believe it's me, I can't believe that I'm so green
Eyes down round and round let's all sit and watch the moneygoround
Everyone take a little bit here and a little bit there
Do they all deserve money from a song that they've never heard
They don't know the tune and they don't know the words
But they don't give a damn
There's no end to it I'm in a pit and I'm stuck in it
The money goes round and around and around
And it comes out here when they've all taken their share
I went to see a solicitor and my story was heard and the writs were served
On the verge of a nervous breakdown I decided to fight right to the end
But if I ever get my money I'll be too old and grey to spend it
Oh, but life goes on and on and no one ever wins
And time goes quickly by just like the moneygoround
I only hope that I'll survive

...At the Washington Post, Greg Sargent calls this an “emerging GOP tactic for dealing with Obama’s personal popularity.” He paraphrases, “We didn’t want Obama to fail; we shared his high hopes for his presidency; but …”

If Republicans go this route, I hope reporters take a page from Michael Grunwald, who details GOP obstruction of the stimulus in his just-released book The New New Deal, and reveals the extent to which the GOP never intended to work with Obama, regardless of what he did.

Following up on my post the other day about the swirling science of genomes and inferences of Neanderthals breeding with modern humans...

A very to the point entry on a Nature blog:

Neanderthal sex debate highlights benefits of pre-publication — UPDATED

[...]

Fair enough, one might say, this is how science works. One paper raises questions that are addressed by others. But Reich believes that the discussion would have been different if it had happened in the open. The PNAS paper questioning the Neanderthal admixture addresses issues swirling around two years ago, but not Reich and Slatkin’s latest work. “It’s been an issue for several years. They were right to work on this,” says Reich. But now, “it’s kind of an obsolete paper,” he says.

[...]

John Hawks follows this up also, with a poignant example based on Otzi the ice man and his genome:

Neandertal ancestry "Iced"

[...]

We think that showing and sharing these comparisons will save people a lot of useless effort. Personally, I can't believe that these people spending effort on population models for Neandertals aren't talking to those of us who have already carried out these comparisons and have already presented them in public. I guess we'll find out if secrecy or openness leads to better science.

[...]

This is a level of complexity that the popular media avoids. The mass media prefers a story whose structure can be summarized be a headline as "X is Z", when in reality the scientists are discussing "X is in relationship to Z and the details are emerging", which doesn't make for the splashy headlines needed to compete with the latest politician's sex scandal or NCAA football.

Here, for example, is a classic - an erroneous headline written based on a poorly written AFP article:

No link between humans, Neanderthals

The headline is wrong because it is pretty clear than Neanderthals and modern humans are indeed closely linked. The question is just whether the two populations had interbred after they had separated out from a common ancestor to form two unique populations.

Assange is still facing sexual assault charges in Sweden and the slimy little creep has a fan club.

He hasn't actually been charged with anything, though it could be said he's facing the possibility of sexual assault charges. He's still wanted on the original material witness warrant.

Say what you will about him but I'm not aware of anybody in history being extradited or having their freedom restricted for two years over a material witness warrant in another country.

Granted he made his own bed when he refused to return to Sweden as per his arrangement with Swedish prosecutors. It's still difficult to believe this much effort would be made to return any other material witness, if for no other reason than it doesn't seem to ever have been.
