This isn't political, or anything. Just a couple of funny clips my brother and I enjoy. :)

Rant on the Republican Party

2008-10-08T00:18:00.000-07:00

Just a rant. Not because I'm a huge fan of the Democrats at the moment. And just because I'm sick of the Authoritarian Republicans and the campaign of Gone InSane.

So, indulge me. ;) [R-Rated Language Warning]

Oh, and for knowledgeable listeners, yes, I borrowed (no, not plagiarized, borrowed) from the likes of Harry Truman, Tom Lehrer, Bill Maher and others, so, you know, hat tips all around. :)

A Discourse of Dissonance

Are words like "Freedom" just meaningless buzz words these days? Is our public dialogue increasingly marked by cognitive dissonance? Are we even listening to one another? Seriously, what the hell has happened to discourse in America?

Today in the Liveliest Crib, John and Karen do some banterin' and swearin' about such topics in the peculiar contexts of Mother Teresa's apparently life-long "crisis of faith"; the movie 300; the old Merle Haggard song, Okie from Muskogee; and other miscellaneous things that enter their warped little heads.

If we are committed to anything, it is the idea of "liberty." If that commitment doesn't really refer to anything except a good inner felling, we ought to shut up about it.

Proto Show

Realizing full well that I am only entertaining myself, I offer a proto-show of The Liveliest Crib.

Take a listen as I bitch on the Early Show with Ray Taliaferro about some bureaucratic nonsense involved in the voter registration process.
