Saturday Guitar 12-20-2014

I watched a rerun of The Mentalist the other night and they had a blind woman play Bach’s Prelude in C Major from the Well-Tempered Clavier. I knew there had to be a guitar version of it somewhere and here it is.

Doesn’t look too hard to play. Maybe I should get the sheet music and learn it on piano. I’ll be willing to bet that Claudia has played this piece many times on the piano as a chord arpeggio exercise.

And, since Christmas is coming up, here is another Bach piece of music that is oft times associated with Christmas played by the same artist.

I play this but the transcription I play is much easier.

Saturday Uninformed Voter Joke

This one is from Toejam.

Many years ago a friend and I were eating our lunch in our company cafeteria, when we overheard an uninformed voter talking about the serious sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the beach.

She drove down in a convertible, but said she ‘didn’t think she’d get sunburned because the car was moving’.

AOTW 12-19-2014

I cannot believe the assholiness this week. First off we have Moochelle crying racism again. This is a woman who has profited from her skin color. She went to an Ivy League college and prolly was admitted over a more qualified white person. There is no other country on earth where she could have done as well as she has in this country. Then, back in 2008 this ungrateful bitch had the sheer gall to say that the first time she was proud of her country was when her unqualified husband was nominated for president even though Thunder Rodent Thighs received more votes that he did in the primaries. So this week she said that at a Target store some short white woman asked her to get sumpin’ down from a shelf for her and this was an example of racism. How can this woman walk with the chip the size of a 2×4 on her shoulder?

Then we have this person.

A University of Michigan department chairwoman has published an article titled, “It’s Okay To Hate Republicans,” which will probably make all of her conservative students feel really comfortable and totally certain that they’re being graded fairly.

“I hate Republicans,” communications department chairwoman and professor Susan J. Douglas boldly declares in the opening of the piece. “I can’t stand the thought of having to spend the next two years watching Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Ted Cruz, Darrell Issa or any of the legions of other blowhards denying climate change, thwarting immigration reform or championing fetal ‘personhood.’”

She writes that although the fact that her “tendency is to blame the Republicans . . . may seem biased,” historical and psychological research back her up, and so it’s basically actually a fact that Republicans are bad!

It’s basically a fact that this bitch is a booger eatin’ moh-ron. So, all of you people in Michigan, are you proud that your university has someone like this teaching for it?

Douglas said that in the 1970s she did work for a Republican, Rhode Island’s senate minority leader Fred Lippitt, but she hates them all now because Lippitt was a “brand of Republican” who no longer exists in that he was “fiscally conservative but progressive about women’s rights, racial justice and environmental preservation.”

Republicans now, she writes, are focused on the “determined vilification” of others, and have “crafted a political identity that rests on a complete repudiation of the idea that the opposing party and its followers have any legitimacy at all.”

(Apparently, the irony of this accusation given the content of her own article was lost on her.)

No one hates like liberals do and this person is a hater deluxe.

But our winner this week is this bitch.

There’s still a couple of weeks left in 2014, but this may go down as the most insane racism rant of the year. Basically, a black woman is freaking out over the “racism” of a white man sitting next to her on a train. She is infuriated by this white man’s sense of entitlement to take a seat in her proximity on a public mode of transportation.

Brittney Cooper teaches Women’s and Gender Studies and Africana Studies at Rutgers so we already know she’s full of crap. She unleashed her racial tirade on Salon today. I’m going to let her start the story to erase any doubt of exaggeration on my part:

On Friday, I was on the train to New York to do a teach-in on Ferguson at NYU. Beats headphones on, lost in thought, peering out the window, I suddenly saw a white hand shoving my work carry-on toward me. Startled, I looked up to see the hand belonged to a white guy, who was haphazardly handling my open bag, with my laptop perched just inside to make space for himself on the seat next to me.

That he wanted the seat on the now full train was not the problem. That he assumed the prerogative to place his hands on my bag, grab it, shove it at me, all while my computer was unsecured and peaking out, infuriated me. I said to him, “Never put your hands on my property.”

His reply: “Well, you should listen when I talk to you.” That line there, the command that when he, whoever he was, spoke, I should automatically listen encapsulates the breadth of the battle against racism we have to fight in this country.

Did you get all that? This woman had her headphones on, wasn’t paying attention, and was occupying more than one seat with her stuff on a busy commuter train. When the white man couldn’t get her attention, he moved her stuff so he could sit down. It’s not a big deal other than this woman was being kind of rude, but check this out:

Buoyed by his own entitlement, his own sense of white male somebodiness, this passenger never even considered that he might simply try harder to get my attention before putting his hands on my stuff. His own need to control space, his own sense of entitlement to move anything in his way even if it held something of value to another person, his belief that he had the right to do whatever he needed to do to make the environment conform to his will are all hallmarks of white privilege.

You can read the rest on the linked site. You can also see the picture of this fat black bitch. She’s the real racist, just like Moochelle. Both of them cried racism when there wasn’t any. All this does is cheapen real racism. And what kind of student would even take courses in Women’s and Gender Studies and Africana Studies? Talk about wasting money. The students who take these course are also the people who can’t get good paying jobs and wonder why. But Brittney Cooper, you big fat racist pig, you just won the coveted AOTW Award.

What Planet Do They Live On?

I know we have already visited other planets. Do you wanna know how I know? It’s because people like Paul Krugman and E.J. Dionne live on different planets than I do. The proof is in reading some of the bull excrement that they write. I read the following in an E.J. Dionne op-ed column that was in this morning’s Atlanta Urinal and Constipation.

Typically, Democrats are more anxious than Republicans to avoid government shutdowns, which has the effect of strengthening those who use shutdown threats as a form of hostage-taking.

WTF? No! They! Are! Not! Who always gets blamed for gummint shutdowns? It is always Republicans. When Reagan was president and he fought with the Dimocrats over spending he was blamed for the gummint shutdown. When BJ was president and the gummint was shutdown, Newt Gingrich and the Republicans were blamed for it. And the last gummint shutdown was blamed on the Republicans. I have never ever seen Dimocrats blamed for a gummint shutdown. Let’s face it, since the LSM is basically the propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party they will always blame Republicans every time the gummint gets shut down. The fact that E.J Dionne can write this drivel means that he’s either lying or delusional. Or, he lives on another planet.

Joke Of The Day

Just for my nephew who is career Army and for my blog contributor Ron who was career Navy. And, of course for me since I was in the Navy. I told my nephew at his grandmother’s funeral that I liked his Warrant Officer uniform ’cause it made him look like he was in the Navy.

Guy walks into a bar and trailing behind is an old, mangy dog who promptly curls up in a corner and goes to sleep as the guy is bellying up to the bar.

Bartender comes over and says: “No dogs allowed in here, you’ll have to put him outside.”

Guy says: “You can see he’s an old dog, it’s cold out there and I take him everywhere. If he can do a trick you like will you let him stay?”

Bartender says: “Him do a trick? That I would like to see.”

Guy goes up to the dog and yells: “Navy beat Army”. Dog’s ears immediately come up, he pops up, jumps on the bar, does thirteen back flips, barks out the rhythm of Anchors Aweigh, jumps off the bar and promptly goes back to sleep in the corner.

Bartender says: “That really is something – what does he do when Army beats Navy?”

Guy replies: “I don’t know – he’s just thirteen years old.”

Thanks to James who sent it to me.
