Pre-Friday Random Ten

By: TBogg Thursday May 8, 2008 8:15 pm

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart.
I've got this thing that I consider my only art - of fucking people over

Uh-1. uh-2, uh 1-2-3-4:

Pure - The Golden Palominos
Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - The Smiths
3rd Planet (BBC Radio Version) - Modest Mouse
Retreat - Minutemen
Legoland - Ned's Atomic Dustbin
Candy - Morphine
Suspicious Minds - Pete Yorn (live)
Wolfman's Brother - Phish
The Sound of Milwaukee - Fatboy Slim
Why Don't You Try Me - Ry Cooder
Bonus #11 because it's free: Echoplex - NIN (go here to download the new CD)

Great song. Lousy video.
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth if you go
straight long enough you'll end up where you were

Thursday Night Basset Blogging

By: TBogg Thursday May 8, 2008 6:31 pm

The older dogs are not cooperating so it's all Fenway this week.

Fenway has a new hobby: carrying foodbowls around the house
Don't laugh, it lkeeps him out of gangs

Do not let this look of innocence fool you

Last night all three dogs went into a post-dinner happiness frenzy and began racing up and down the stairs barking and wrestling with each other and slamming into walls.

Satchmo can only keep it up for a short time before he comes into the room, knocks my legs out of the way and hides under my desk where Fenway and Beckham can't get at him. Then he starts barking like crazy (and Satchmo has a very deep and resonant bark that sounds like what James Earl Jones would sound like if he, you know, barked instead of saying "This is CNN"). I assume that what Satchmo is saying is the basset equivalent of "Sanc-tu-ary!".

It's really quite dramatic in a Victor Hugoesque kind of way...

Fenway is coming along nicely despite his belief that puppy pads are for shredding and paper towel rolls are bitchin' fun to run with until all of the towels unspool. Then he pees presumably under the assumption that there are perfectly good towels now just laying there that can be used to clean it up.

In his mind, I'm sure he thinks he's being helpful as he stands there wagging his tail believing that this is some kind of male bonding exercise.

It's not...

Please go here and welcome Cliff Schecter to the Lake. If you aren't familiar with Cliff's work...you're going to enjoy this. What really ices this cake is the fact that Cleta Mitchell represents David Vitter.Ouch.

Pat Toomey’s Purity Balls

My heart belongs to Grover Pennsylvania's Pat Toomey, still bitter over his primary loss to Arlen Specter, explains why it is necessary to track down liberal Republicans, kill them and eat their livers (which is what we used to do in the old days before this newfangled "drink your milkshake" stuff took hold):

Dean Broder: The endless Democratic presidential campaign has lurched from irrelevance to trivia, triggering a near-universal call to bring it to a halt. The two states that voted on Tuesday -- Indiana and North Carolina -- are so unimportant to Democratic chances of electing the next president that it is unlikely Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama would make more than a token appearance in either after one of them

Success has many fathers but failure starts a new blog

From Marc Ambinder:A diverse bunch of Republican online gurus have formed a new blog and activist platform they hope will be find the answer to what comes next for a party that lags behind the Democrats in virtually every online metric.It's called "The Next Right.
