in Europe. It’s the end of the world. It’s called Summer, something the Brits apparently have only just discovered. Meanwhile in Venezuela they have a real crisis with 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude quakes destroying buildings, infrastructure and killing hundreds of people. That’s what I call a crisis. This hasn’t stopped the BBC and others from screaming about fucking climate change from dawn ’til dusk. They all need counseling clearly. The Venezuelan earthquakes hit in the evening of a holiday celebrating an 1821 battle that eventually led to Venezuela’s independence from Spain.
About the only person who’s glad they aren’t there is Nicolas Maduro who is locked up in a cell in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He doesn’t have to deal with any of it. Maduro is in near-total isolation, spending approximately 23 hours a day in solitary confinement with limited, monitored contact with the outside world and no interaction with the general prison population. He may not even know about the earthquake.
The memes create themselves on the BBC
But in England it’s hell on earth. They’ve gone completely mad over there, even banning air conditioners and tumble dryers in the name of saving the planet. How the fuck did people become so stupid? It defies logic.
Heat pumps are the new low flow toilets – ie bullshit that doesn’t work properly
This Net Zero stuff doesn’t even make sense. It’s like a religious mantra. If you repeat it often enough it becomes real. It’s also impossible to achieve without obliterating all forms of life on the planet. Do any of these numb skulls even know what they’re talking about anymore? They just repeat the AGW climate dogma like the sheep that they are. They teach this garbage in schools. It’s part of the curriculum after all, so it must be true.
There is a visual upside to the heatwave
The band may have a rehearsal today. I don’t know what we are rehearsing for anymore. Let’s just call it a performance and be done with it. You’ll maybe get to see some of it on Youtube later, I don’t know. It’s a lot of work putting it together. If it sounds and looks good you’ll see it. It’s the closest thing to a live show you’ll get from me at present. I can’t see myself trekking Down Under to play in front of 20 people like I used to do. I think Europe is a better option, if it’s not too hot, that is. We’ll go in the Winter months.
But hey, it’s Friday. It’s not all doom and gloom even though it will be raining tomorrow. It’s good for the plants. God knows we only have a few short months to grow things here before Old Man Winter returns.
Imagine the smell
I’ve got so much to do this weekend it’s not funny. I have to fix the truck because I bought the wrong part and now I have to fix it again. I have to sand the kitchen floor because I tore up the linoleum and now it’s all dirty underneath. Mow the grass, etc etc. It’s a constant stream of work. I shouldn’t complain really.
At least I don’t have to hear the fucking bird all day that sits on the top of the tree right next to my window here. This thing is really loud. You can’t hear yourself talk outside, and I’m not joking. It has a monotonous tweet as well. Sounds like the beginning of the “Mexican Hat Dance” ALL FUCKING DAY LONG! AI of course, is no fucking help at all.
Obama is writing articles for Rolling Stone magazine now. The music that made “us”? Include me out thanks..
I wouldn’t listen to that hideous looking creature’s shitty rap music if you fucking paid me. Mahalia Jackson is way over rated imo, Vestal Goodman is a much better gospel singer by any measure. There’s no comparison actually. Ignorant people think Mahalia Jackson is the pinnacle of gospel music. Their understanding of the genre is ankle deep. I have no idea who the character is in the yellow shirt is. Another dumb rapper probably. Rap “music” isn’t music it’s just noise, but the record industry has programmed people to think that it’s something they should listen to.
Obama gave Merle, Fab Macca, Oprah and some people I don’t know an award in 2010
Bob Dylan is depicted in the illustration with a very large and prominent nose which seems a tad stereotypical to me, and Merle Haggard is the token white dude way out the back, diminished in size and influence. Haggard was a screaming lefty Hillary supporter in case you didn’t know, like Willie Nelson and a bunch of other country “outlaws”.
Haggard endorsed Hillary Clinton for president in 2007, and wrote and performed a song titled “Hillary” that included lyrics like “Let’s put a woman in charge” and praised her experience and integrity. Thanks Merle. Obama did more damage to the United States than you could think possible. The fool divided this country like no one before him. We’re still enjoying the benefits of his eight year reign of terror. The only good thing he did was get Trump elected. Hillary would have been a continuation and people just couldn’t take it any more.
Happy Friday
These are what I call great singers – Vestal Goodman and George Jones. If this doesn’t give you goosebumps you ain’t human. Ignore Bill Gathier at the end. My pal Hoyt, the owner of WNAH in Nashville calls him “Ooey Gooey” for a reason.
