Mike's Blog Round Up

Hello everybody, I'm Mark Hoback from The Aristocrats, and I'll be  your server here this week at Mike's Blog Roundup. May we start you off with some snark? Oh yes, it's quite important to have a healthy dose of snark with each and every visit. Snark is said to control depression, plusit's marvelous for the complexion, much like Omega 3 but without the hassle of squeezing fish.

P erhaps you would prefer to start out with a little Bush. Most of us do. World O'Crap is not the first blog to be all over Jena like a fine crème sauce, but I'm pretty sure that they introduced her to the menage a quatre, with stimulating entries by Sheri Z giving practical advice, Scott doing Henry, and last but not least,  Mary C with the Ballbuster.

Ahem.   Falafel Sex learns the hard way that God will not protect you from bad chicken salad.

Seriously... It's still going on? Those Midwesterners sure know how to party.    M E Sprengelmeyer follows Fred Thompson to the Iowa State Fair, and  shows just how much corn the Republican candidates scored.

...speaking of Fred...

So, if Fred Thompson can wait until Labor Day, can Al Gore wait until Halloween, when all of the pumpkins turn into debris?

And finally (loan me your 'don't sugarcoat it" award, BG), Doghouse Riley gives us 'The Rant of the Day'.

That's it for today, folks. If you have any tips, send them to mhoback  AT verizon Dot net. See ya tomorrow.

about Gore and the magic pumpkin...

did Gore ever get rid of ties to Occidental Petroleum?

Do a bit of reading on St Gore, folks.

I know, everyone loves their myths,cherry trees and resurrections and all, but a little lernin' won't kill ya.

Bye bye, Lee Hazlewood.

I loved Lee. Normally I have strong antipathy towards men in bangs, but Lee cracked that silly prejudice with his righteous booming voice and a 'stache: that could easily broadloom a downtown studio loft.

Click my name to view or download the fabulous Hazlewood / Nancy Sinatra cover of June Carter & Johnny Cash's "Jackson". I make no apologies for the commentary / rating at Spike ("I rate this lower than Satan's nutsack but I like it!") because in my personal belief system I'm agnostic on the whole Satanic nutsack issue.

Lee'n'Nancy's cover can't touch the Cash/Carter classic. (To be fair, not many could cause those two are musical Bodhi.) I love the chemistry and sass in the cover and it's easily one of Nancy's better performances, right up there with Boots and You Only Live Twice (the theme from the Bond film).

An unreleased Hazlewood demo (A Taste of You) is also available for free to Premium users a Salon. BTW, for anyone addictged to a regular ix of non-violating copyrighted audio at Salon's Audiofiles, that's awaiting Lee in musical heaven.

In closing, Damn.

Gore's father (Al, Sr.) had a lot of dealings with Occidental (sort of like Cheney has a lot of dealings with Haliburton), from the 60's to the 80's. When this came out in the 2000 election, Al (Jr.) started to divest OP from the estate left by his father to avoid further controversey. I think he finally got rid of all the shares by 2006.

So, if Fred Thompson can wait until Labor Day, can Al Gore wait until Halloween

You have to remember that Clinton didn't throw his hat into the race until mid-Oct., 1991. Both Thompson and Gore still have plenty of time to jump into the race.

Actually, he looks a lot like her Uncle Marvin.
