A one-hit wonder and the BEST of that particular genre, at that:
Oh, you don't know me, but you make me so happyI don't think I ever called a number written on a wall, any wall, but I sure as hell danced my ass off to this tune in the wayback. There's quite a back-story to the tune, in case you haven't heard it. I hadn't heard this tune in years upon years before tonite... and hearing it this evening made me smile. A lot.
I tried to call you before, but I lost my nerve
I tried my imagination, but I was disturbed
―:☺:―
In other news... I lied. I said I wasn't gonna watch Barry's speech this evening but I did... watch it. With my teevee muted, which is to say I watched but didn't listen. The exercise was pretty instructive, in that a lot of my suspicions were confirmed.

First and foremost among those suspicions was the speech was gonna be mostly a campaign speech; that suspicion was confirmed by the number of standing-O's the president received... from the Democrats. The correct side of the aisle... the Republicans... remained seated, for the most part. That told me nearly everything I needed to know.
Second: The Deity At Hand hates Democrats. Why else would she make the great majority of 'em so damned ugly? The camera panned into the audience periodically and we got to see Mrs. Pelosi (omigawd-ugly), Maxine Waters (jeezus!), Hillary (ecch!), Biden (heh), Sheila Jackson-Lee (yow), Charlie Rangel (nice suit, Charlie)... and on and on. THAT was almost enough to make me turn the whole thang off, but I hung in there. Why? Because...
Third: Boehner. He may cry at the drop of a hat but his poker face while The One was going on and on... and on... was just fan-fuckin'-tastic. I watched intently for eye-rolls but saw nary a one. BIG props to the Speaker for that feat; I couldn't have pulled it off.
Wandering around the intertube conservative sites I don't find anything on the campaign speech Obummer made tonight.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking most have tuned out. I see him flapping his gums and I change the channel. If its anything important I'll get it from some other source.
I'm pretty much in the same boat, Anon.
ReplyDeleteY'know how those monotone voices of adult characters sound in the old Peanuts specials on TV?
ReplyDeleteThey kinda sound like,"Muh muh, muh,uh muh nuh, uh uh uh."
Well, that's what I hear from BO POTUS. Then my eyes glaze over.
I couldn't be bothered. MY WIFE and I agreed that watching it would be enough to raise our collective blood pressure to a dangerous level. When you consider that I'm a Libertarian, and she is fairly damn close to a Socialist, that tells you something about the way Obama is able to cut across a wide variety of political stances in order to alienate and annoy.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm betting that while you never called a number from a wall (to your knowledge), you did try calling 8675309. heh.
ReplyDeleteYou're a better man than I, Buck. I've transitioned from going mute to changing channels AS SOON as his visage appears--for ANY reason. Simply CANNOT stomach/abide--whatever term you want--the sight of the guy anymore. OUT! DAMNED SPOT!
ReplyDeleteSkip: I hear ya.
ReplyDeleteJim: Obama is even pissin' off full-blown moonbats now. Ain't it amazin'?
So, I'm betting that while you never called a number from a wall (to your knowledge), you did try calling 8675309. heh.
There's not one single solitary soul from that day and age who DIDN'T dial that number at least once.
Virgil: I'm usually of the same manner as you describe.
