Shoes Off The Ground

Sunday, August 7th, 2011

President Obama likes having pictures taken of himself with his feet off the floor.  So with apologies to General Larry Platt, and with reference to Obama's recent White House hip hop party, here's a song to get you in the mood for a Sunday of putting your feet up.

 

 

(with apologies to General Larry Platt)

 

Shoes Off The Ground

Shoes off the ground Shoes off the ground 
Lookin’ like a fool with yo shoes off the ground
With yo teleprompter preachin'
Biden overreachin', shoes off the ground
Call yourself a cool cat, lookin' like a fool
Sittin' at your desk with your shoes off the ground
Put them down, hey, get your shoes on the ground
Sittin’, talkin’ with your shoes off the ground
Set them down, hey, get your shoes on the ground
Lookin’ like a fool with your shoes off the ground
Marbles in your mouth 57 states
Call yourself a cool cat, yeah, lookin’ like a fool
Sittin’, talkin’ with your shoes off the ground
Boom, boom, shoes off the ground
Lookin’ like a fool with your shoes off the ground
With your marbles in your mouth
Economy turned sideways, shoes off the ground
Call yourself a cool cat.

America’s Trash Party

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

A Coalition of Litterers occupied the National Mall last weekend.  More than 400 mutually-interested groups, from racists like La Raza, to violent unionists like SEIU, to re-tread Black Power wannabees like the NBPP, all converged together to rally for their cause.  

 

Chief among their exploits was the amount of litter they left behind.  Though they didn't match the Beck/Tea Party crowd of a month ago, they far exceeded expectations in the amount of litter they left behind.

 

As one would expect.

 

From this, a new major American political movement was born:  The American Trash Party.  A movement that trashes your wallet, your history, your Constitution, and your values.

 

Naturally, posters had to be made.  Here are two:

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It's duck-and-cover bunker time:  Congressman Reyes' outdated blog at http://www.reyesblog.com/ is suddenly gone.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)

 

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)

Reyes Was For the Torture Amendment Before He Was Against It

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

El Paso’s most prominent public figure, Congressman Silvestre Reyes, backed away from an amendment to the intelligence authorization bill that imposed criminal penalties on those who use torture to gain intelligence information. Reyes said, “I thought it was completely unnecessary. It wasn’t written or crafted very well.”


This was about 48 hours after the illustrious, Kennedy-esque political figure, Lion of the Desert, and Master Commander of the Intelligence Process backed the amendment as Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Back then — ancient history, by DC and Democrat standards — Reyes said that the amendment “is intended to be a strong and significant step toward better oversight, which still respects the constitutional authorities of the president.”


Remind me again why there’s a giant lighted Texas star on the Franklin Mountains above El Paso, instead of a huge portrait of “Silver.”

We Make Fun of White House Professional Robert Gibbs Making Fun of Sarah Palin Making Fun of Sarah Palin’s Palm-Notes

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

After White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs parodied Sarah Palin’s use of hand-notes, we parody both the hopeless Gibbs and a laughable legal assertion that has appeared on the White House’s Flickr page. Clicky on picture for super-sized Gibbsness goodness:
