When The Revolution Comes

When the revolution comes
When the revolution comes
When the revolution comes
some of us will probably catch it on TV,
with chicken hanging from our mouths.
You'll know its revolution
cause there won't be no commercials

When the revolution comes

Now you know...

Vance Zawadaszki is Antonin Scalia's porn stage name.

"How are we to avoid those in office becoming deeply corrupt when everything is devoid of meaning? That is impossible, not even the highest judge would be able to achieve that for himself. That is why policemen try to steal the clothes off the back of those they arrest, that is why supervisors break into the homes of people they do not know, that is why innocent people are humiliated in front of crowds rather than being given a proper trial."

"Guard: Don't fight it son. Confess quickly! If you hold out too long you could jeopardize your credit rating."

Accidently Like A Martyr

One thing sets the synapse firing on odd numbers of cylinders. Woodrow Wilson's guns are still echoing through the canyons of Bristol Palin's Bad Luck Streak in Dancing With The Stars. I saw a production of Accidental Death of an Anarchist in Chicago sometime in the early 90s.

Paging Bob Roberts! Sing the Hockey Mom Song! There's always room on our team for a goon!

Jobless Recovery

Fred Thompson has a new job selling aluminum siding reverse mortgages. I'd like to suggest a new job for Sarah Palin.

Stories have been told and retold through out history. Some stories are so old, we don't know who wrote them. Retelling someone else's stories is a time honored tradition across all sorts of media. Cream retold Robert Johnson's Crossroads. Maybe it's Robert Johnson's story, maybe it's something he heard from someone else, I don't know. Lynyrd Skynyrd retold Cream's retelling of Robert Johnson's Crossroads, and so on.




The movie makers do it all the time with writers like Shakespeare and Dickens. How many different versions of A Christmas Carol have you seen? Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol, Bill Murray's Scrooged, George C Scott, Henry Winkler!

I've been known to retell a story or two myself.























So, if you want to change a bunch of words in Huck Finn, (go to the 9 minute mark for the HF segment) go right ahead. Just don't call it Huck Finn by Mark Twain.

And now, join me in a Moment of Silence for Pigmeat Markham. Hat tip to BDR for the link way back when.

10. Orrin Hatch's secret gay lover is executed in Bryce Canyon after he threatens to go public, but the death is made to look like an accident.


BDR posted some videos of Chris Elliott's "Guy Under The Seats" routine from Letterman. I always liked Chris Elliott's Conspiracy Guy routine, partly because I'm somewhat of a conspiracy guy myself. For example, this Bird and fish kill was probably the military, field testing one of their new microwave or sonic weapons.
