Just in case you wanted some confirmation on what kind of leftist garbage NBC endorsed with the Live Earth concert, let’s flash back to singer Macy Gray and her back-up singers. Gray, as you might recall from my earlier post, had several things on her dress – a peace sign and the words “Darfur” and “Red Alert.” Not exactly controversial, just comical.
Her band was less subtle. You’ve got the guitarist with the name “George Bush” and a big X through it. How edgy. Then you have the intelligence-challenged guitarist with the name “Dick Chaney” and a big X through that. (For those who call the public school system home, the name is “Cheney.”) Here’s a hint for the left: Don’t go on global TV without a copy editor.
X was the theme. Almost all of the shirts had words or phrases with an X through them.
Others in her band sloganed this way:
- The drummer with the ever-creative “Global Warming” and the big X.
- The keyboardist with “Hunger” and a big X. I’m against hunger as well. I just finished some Cheese Curls.
- The zaftig back-up singer who had room for “War is not the answer.” She included the answer on her butt – a peace sign. Butt peace signs were everywhere among the women in the group. (Comment at your own risk…, but(t) it appeared she, like me, had said no to hunger in a personal way.) It didn’t appear the men in the band had given up peaces of their butts.
All of this fun video is available on MSN.

Speaking of whining
July 9, 2007 - 04:58 ET by UnsaneI thought you were an "independent moderate". What the hell are you doing whining about what the Socialist Party (or is that Democrat Party?) called?

My partisan-Democrat friend
July 9, 2007 - 05:23 ET by sarcasmoMy partisan-Democrat friends use the term with or without the "ic" interchangeably. Why do you think they're being incorrect half the time when Democrats have traditionally been Democrats. And as I've said, I'll consider adding an "ic" if I see an end to things like racial-gerrymandering, so don't be holding your breath...

July 9, 2007 - 06:41 ET by sarcasmoActually, some probably would, at least at Hooters! :) Anyway, I think it stems from a Reagan-era poll that used both terms and found the non-ic version was slightly less popular among non-political people. At least "my" Democrats are sensible about just being Democrats! :)

July 9, 2007 - 06:59 ET by Six String SpiffGood morning crshedd! I see you have eaten a large sum of stupid flakes again. Do you understand that BOTH political parties are DEMOCRATIC. One party is called Republican, and the other party is Democrat. Are you people STILL confused about this, or are you just scraping the bottom of the 'shit to complain about' barrel? What a pethetic loser... "Don't call us Democrats!" Ok how about SOCIALITST? Is that better? The two are synonymous these days. Thanks Democrat(ic)s.
Thanks for jump starting my brain this morning! I needed something of great amusement!
That's the perfect solution

July 8, 2007 - 21:30 ET by QueenMumMacy Gray became persona non grata here in the Canton, OH area when she screwed up the National Anthem in front of millions of Americans watching the Hall of Fame football game a few years back.
As regards the politically-adorned clothing, it's pretty juvenile if you ask me.

Who sang My Ding-a-Ling? (It wasn't Country Joe and Fish was it)
I looked it up in the Woodstock album you had with your link...I may have missed it...I cracked up laughing when I heard and watched that the first time from Woodstock...
(Every time I see ding here it is all I can do not to think of that or insert the title when and if I respond that is...lol)
I know I can google it...but just thought you would know off hand or others here.

I guess that bitch and ho stuff in music started a long time ago. Happy Trails...

Come on all you big strong men, Uncle Sam's needs your help again, Got himself in a terrible jam way down yonder in Veitnam. So put down your books and pick up you gun, we're going to have whole lot of fun.
Now it's 1,2,3 what are fighting for. Don't ask me I don't give a damn next stop is Vietnam. And it's 5,6,7 open up them pearly gates. Well there ain't no time to wonder why whoopee we're all fixin to die.
It has been 38 years ago so I have forgotten most of the words. I was going through my AIT at Fort Jackson, SC when Woodstock happened.

July 9, 2007 - 06:11 ET by UnsaneDan - What do you expect? It is MUCH easier to run around wearing t-shirts with cute slogans, and saying SAVE DARFUR over and over again, hoping and praying that it will be saved if you say it enough times...
...instead of facing certain realities. Yes, you can SAVE "X", or SUPPORT "CAUSE 'Y'", but you have to (gasp!) work to make it happen.
We can't expect Leftists to work, can we?
(As to Darfur: as 80% of the country's (Sudan) oil goes to China, I am truly surprised that no Leftists are parading in front of the Chinese embassy in DC or their mission in NY, demanding they do something to "Save Darfur". Or, the EU is much closer. Why won't THEY intervene? Oh, that's right. They can't act unilaterally because they lack the will and the means [h/t to Foreign Policy].)

Liberal work ethic
July 9, 2007 - 07:13 ET by Six String SpiffUnsane That reminds me of the commercial where 1 person after another sees the same piece of trash kicking around outside the bin where it should be, and complaining heavily about the rubbish being on the ground instead of the can. Eventually there are about 20 people cursing the fact that there is a piece of trash on the ground when one individual, completely oblivious to the crowd walks right by and picks up the trash and throws it away. Crowd disperses and life continues. Sounds like a PERFECT example of liberal rhetoric. Anyone know of the ad I am talking about? I don't have access to any streaming media. Otherwise I would have linked.
John Mayer did a great guitar
July 9, 2007 - 07:37 ET by halfacarafeJohn Mayer did a great guitar solo for the song "gravity". Kelly Clarkson, let's see, you canceled all your concerts due to lack of ticket sales, better keep yourself in the limelight, your first song was ok. UB40, I was sick of that song in 1982. Alicia Keys, what a performance, incredible voice. Foo fighters were also good. Kayne West, someone turn off that noise or put the poor animal out of it's misery. The greatest thing about the Gorestock was I didn't have to pay a thing to see all the enviroweenies perform and I will never, ever support or purchase any of your idiot products due to your stupidity. Cameron Diaz, could you be more vacuous? I long ago quit buying her products when she was promoting the movie "Charlie's Angels" with her and the other two ditzes making all the morning talk shows wearing the "No son of a bush" t-shirts back in 2000. Why would you want to promote a movie by pissing off half of America.
Here's an idea for change to make the world a better place. Take the money you made for the Live Earth and pay for a coup in Zimbabwa. Or Peru. The only way most third world nations will start caring about the environment is when they own a stock in it. The only way they can own a stock in it is to embrace capitolism. The only way capitolism can succeed in 3rd world nations is by the overthrough of the corrupt government now in place.

July 9, 2007 - 08:02 ET by winston smith"Cameron Diaz, could you be more vacuous?"
Wait, I think Cameron spoke quite eloquently for the tens of thousands attending Gorestock '07! As when she pondered thoughtfully and aloud (and I quote):
".......blobbidy-blue-blue-blue..."
This is just a small sampling of the kind of effusive intellect on display at Gorestock yesterday. And as you can see, she does her cause great justice.
