There never seems to be enough time...

...and you have to wonder if I'm running out of music themed post titles when I start using Jim Croce lyrics.

  Three quick takes on things not involving Michigan's continued horrible weather that pissed me off this week:

1)  Old Nolan is still getting tummy troubles from the fact that school teachers actually believe they should get paid for the work they do--and that they should be paid a little more because unlike most of his dim-witted followers, they actually went to college to better themselves (not, of course, believing that fellating the wealthy would take care of this for them).  When will someone of more stature than a piss ant like me ask old Nolan this simple question:  WHY DO YOU HATE WORKING PEOPLE YOU FASCIST FUCK?  They could even ask it in a nice fashion if they so choose.

2)  The Free Press continues its love affair with that oh so different, tea party jihadist, Gov. Snyder.  What a piss poor interview (if you want to call it that--in reality it's just Gov. Snyder said, "some bullshit in quotation marks")--the Free Press just seems to love any idiot who claims he's going to do something different, even if it isn't different, and regardless of whether it will work or not.  Word to the wise:  there were plenty of people who bought George W. Bush's bullshit about compassionate conservatism  and all they were sold was a radical right wing agenda that nearly bankrupted the country both financially and spiritually.  Michigan cannot afford even four years of some GWB clone.

3)  Can't find a link for this so I'll hold my nose and type the Free Press' "Quote of the Week":  "My band can't negotiate sick days.  If you don't play, you don't get paid."  (Ted Nugent, saying how he thinks union members are coddled).  Leaving aside the fact that outside of the Free Press and conservative media (Christ, they have so few celebrity endorsements they'd fucking take Charles Manson if he joined the cause) there isn't a media outlet in the fucking universe that doesn't realize how culturally irrelevant Ted Nugent is (and always has been--Christ, we have Bob Seger, Eminem, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Berry Gordy, and Jack White--to name a few--what the fuck did Nugent ever do of import?  Even in his heyday he was a minor celebrity at best, and a talentless leech at worst) a few notes:  pretty sure most of the members in his band belong to the Musician's Union already, not hard to worry about sick days when you work about a hundred days a year, for five or six hours a day, and don't have to show up for work until five or six in the afternoon, not to mention the fact that musicians list of demands for concert promoters is the definition of coddled and how many of us get to rehearse for a few hours before we do our job and get to call it a day's work?  What the motherfucking fuck--the war on stupidity can begin with Ted Nugent and the Detroit Free Press (though Nugent's been brain dead so long he may be a lost cause....).

Peace,
