Reyes Blog is Gone

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

It's duck-and-cover bunker time:  Congressman Reyes' outdated blog at http://www.reyesblog.com/ is suddenly gone.  Seems like the http://www.stantonstreetgroup.com/ of El Paso used to do the web work.  There isn't much else to say, unless you want to grab the domain name:  you can have it on February 10, 2011.  And, check out the lame way the latest version of WP takes your hyperlinks.  I'll leave this here, in order to remind myself why I have normal code saved in a text file.  In a way, the lame way of hyperlinking reminds me of a certain way of doing business, Old El Paso-style.  Like Reyes.

Where’s Silver Reyes?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Reyes hasn't updated his taxpayer-funded blog since 2008. Why, we remember the time when he was a fixture on intelligent matters like Intelligence (since, like, whenever), and "reducing college costs" (2007). You could hardly choke down a dry flauta without seeing Silver around, picking up loose change off the restaurant floor and selling snippets of his hair to admiring locals. Now, it's like he got off Pelosi's chain and is running loose around the political neighborhood. Everyone knows him, but no one wants to bring him in. He's like the ugly one-eyed, three-legged chihuahua, not the beautiful Siberian Husky. So he's just a stray, and everyone seems be repulsed by him. Politically.

It’s The End Of Their Party As We Know It (And We Feel Fine)

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

[Ed:  I've watched Obama's Administration screw up for a year.  This parody wraps it up for me.  Sorta.  There's a second parody coming.  There's enough for it, easy.  Thanks to twisty Michael Stipe for the influence and for making it so easy.]

 

It's The End Of Their Party As We Know It (And We Feel Fine)

(with apologies to R.E.M.’s Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Michael Stipe)

 

That’s great, it starts with Obamacare, money there, and Barney Frank – Steve Colbert is not afraid.

 

Cornhusker Kickback, ACORN heart attack,

Glenn Beck’s on your back, Fleetwood Mac on 8-Track.

 

Daily Kos is polling wrong, Robert Gibbs’ face is long,  

Bowing down to heads of state, ShoreBank’s final fate.

 

Coffee Party astroturf, George Soros butthurt,

Global warming millionaires and Al Gore hot air.

 

Babs Boxer, Harry Reid gothic face of Dem greed. Firedoglake work overtime, propping up a dying line.

 

Oval Office garden with imported plants, fake doctor’s smocks and KSM.  Look at that Maddow – oh, another ratings blow.

What, then?

 

Uh, oh, Churchill no, Jeremiah Wright’s a go, DVDs to the Queen, look at me primp and preen.  Israel bad bad Saudi daddy glad glad, bored with this stinking job, trot my kids out, stay away.

 

You foaming-mouth, Left Wing, hot, snot, smear merchant empty-head looking for a fight.

 

It’s the end of that Party and we know it

It’s the end of that Party and we know it.

It’s the end of that Party and we feel fine.

 

Cancer patients on parade, doctors’ jackets in the shade,

Aborted baby saves cash, or trot kids out to make a splash,

Nancy P tuna farm, Jane Harman AIPAC harm,

Feinstein real estate grab cash, REM lead singer, socialist bell-ringer,

Useful tool, Golden Rule, rhyme-clinger, bitter singer,

Jerky little baldy singy man full of hate, discriminate, it’s fun.

Pelosi’s Caucus, womyn’s only cathouse henhouse, call a special meeting,

Lipstick air kiss greeting, Mark Spivey Astroturf, Ellie Light in the night. 

 

It’s the end of that Party and we know it

It’s the end of that Party and we know it. (It’s time I had some freedom)

It’s the end of that Party and we know it (It’s not time for any CoffeeTurf) and

we feel fine. (We feel fine)

 

Dan Rather mumbles on Vietnam George Bush, watermelon President, very articulate.  Hope and Change, anger frames, Democratic Underground exploding from internal flames.

 

Sycophantic Libtards herkin’, jerkin’ in the night, right?  Right.

 

It’s the end of that Party and we know it

It’s the end of that Party and we know it. (It’s time I had some freedom)

It’s the end of that Party and we know it (It’s not time for any CoffeeTurf) and

we feel fine. (We feel fine)

 

It’s the end of that Party and we know it

It’s the end of that Party and we know it. (It’s time I had some freedom)

It’s the end of that Party and we know it (It’s not time for any CoffeeTurf) and

we feel fine. (We feel fine)
