Tower of Lies

Open Thread Image.jpg

Seems like everything that comes out of the Donald's mouth is a lie these days. Add to that his cabinet lying time after time... whether it is Bessent saying he doesn't understand why fuel prices are rising, to Hogsbreath saying Ukraine has Russia on the run, to Lutnick saying he doesn't remember his trip to Epstein Island. It isn't just the administration. Seems most of the beltway class is addicted to lying. The media compliance facilitating the falsehoods point to the Zionist control of the MSM. None the less it seems most folks understand they are being lied to, but it is so common it has become accepted. Eventually the tower of lies will collapse under it own weight like a house of cards.

Album of the Week 8-29-26

Afternoon folks!

We've got a heaping helping of blues for you this week, starting off with a great album from Piano Red as Dr. Feelgood with the Interns. After that it's some harmonica fun from Charlie Musselwhite and then some soul-blues from Johnny Rawls and Otis Clay performing a tribute album of O.V. Wright tunes. Then it's on to an early Bo Diddley album followed by a folk-blues revival era album from blues piano player and guitarist Henry Townsend with Backwards Sam Firk. We finish up with a live ep from Richard Thompson.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Saturday Open Thread - 8/29/26: Odds and Ends

Good morning, good people! I hope you are al in fine fettle this morning!

Well, folks, in case you think of Texas as all cowboys and rodeos all the time, please check out our Ren Fest.

I only went to the Festival once, when it was a new thing. A friend was a ballet dancer who got a paid gig to dance at the grounds, so I went to see her, had some woman read Tarot cards and predict my future.

The Festival is coming soon, is fairly close by, so who knows? I might want to see some jousting.

Skip the first 2 minutes of this video to see something besides the vlogger's costume choice.

Open Thread - 08-26-26 - Random Observations

Today my friends, in random sequence, I present to you, more of my semi-cognitional meanderings.

  • You can't use conventional methods of understanding to understand non-conventional thinking. Sane people don't understand insane people. Logical people don't understand illogical people. Conventional, sane and logical thinking doesn't cut it with when analyzing a non-conventional, insane, and illogical politician or government. That's where a lot of political analysts, experts and talking heads get it wrong when they suggest that they've got this shit all figured out. It's like getting in the mud and wrestling with a pig.
