The Lost Classics of Yacht Rock
You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on
I'm not sure this is even Yacht Rock. This might just be very soft rock. I can't see myself sniffing cocaine from a Boat Hoe's cleavage to this song, which is the primary criterion of Yacht Rock.
But I think this song more crosses from the shallows of soft rock to the cresting majesty of Yacht Rock. This is definitely bouncy enough for Hoe Snow. Very smooth, a little folky, a little jazzy. It's got that Hoe Snow snap.

From Andycanuck: Hezballah members reporting for work today, a little bit skittish about entering the code on an electronic keypad lock
I don't know if this is real. It's certainly accurate -- no one in Hezballah is happy to be handling any kind of electronic device today.

Flashback: Remember when the entire Regime Media conducted a two-week psyop to convince the American people that Joe Biden was a "super-ager"?

FAA fines SpaceX $633K for acting without its permission "These fines therefore are simply because FAA management has hurt feelings because SpaceX wouldn't wait for it to twiddle its thumbs for a few more weeks. The fines also suggest that FAA management is either being pressured to hinder SpaceX's commercial operations by higher ups in the White House, or that management itself is trying to exert more power over the company, for apparently very petty reasons." [CBD]

1) Individuals, on camera and audio, stating what they saw is "unconfirmed" with "no specific reports"

2) anonymous bomb threats with no arrests or suspects is "Republicans threatening Haitians."

Well fuck them, I called the hospital and they said there's no confirmed reports of specific individual Republicans making any bomb threats.

New book edited by Michael Walsh and featuring essays by Glenn Reynolds, Kurt Schlichter, and others: Against the Corporate Media: Forty-Two Ways the Press Hates You
Michael Walsh asked me to contribute a chapter to this book. I bailed out when I couldn't find a new angle on topic. But Walsh found a bunch of writers who do have new things to say. I'll review the book soon. Definitely consider buying it.

The intro to Duran Duran's "Rio"

Supposedly a Twitter account called "The Black Insurrectionist" has a signed affidavit from an anonymous ABC "News" staffer, alleging that Muir and Kamala's sorority sister exchanged questions behind the scenes. I don't know if this is true. He says he's keeping the name of the staffer anonymous, so there will be no way to verify it even if he publishes it. Shrug. It's not much but a claim.

Megyn Kelly was a little hot and bothered by ABC "News'" immoderate "moderators"

When SNL, and Alec Baldwin, still had a sense of humor: "Who's On Top?"

Marjorie Taylor Greene: Laura Loomer is a lunatic and a racist

Forgotten 80s Mystery Click: Soulful Stalker Division
"I gave you silk suits, Gucci handbags and blue diamonds.
I gave you things you couldn't even pronounce!
But now I can't give you nothing but advice.
Cause you're still young, yeah, you're young.
And you're gonna find somebody like me one of these days
Until then, you know what you gotta do?
You gotta get on outta here
with that alley-cat-coat-wearing,
punch-bucket-shoe-wearing crumbcake I saw you with. Cause you dismissed!
That's right, Silly rabbit,
tricks are made for kids, don't you know that.
You without me is like corn flakes without the milk!
This is my world.
You're just a squirrel trying to get a nut!
Now get on outta here.
Scat! Don't touch that coat..."

A tale of two stories about Haiti. "When Trump was president, the media rushed to push the false story of Border Patrol agents 'whipping' Haitian migrants. When Democrats are in power, they rush to debunk the story about Haitian migrants eating pets in Ohio." [Buck]

From 1985: Is this the most obscure Forgotten 80s Mystery Click ever?
Another scratched or scribbled note
Hint: The band's name is a reference to their hometown of Niagara Falls, Canada.
Two handsome men in overcoats
Deception right in front of me
Or jealous fantasy
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Something that sets you apart
It tightens your grip on my heart
Don't ever let it go
I thought Donny Iris was super-obscure, but then like 20 commenters told me "Oh I've always been a big Donny Iris fan, he was huge in Pittsburgh (or wherever)." So maybe people will tell me "I still play this album" or something.

This AI short "movie" is creepy and a little scary

Mind blown: "Adult" and "adolescent" are the same word!
So "adolescent" is basically the progressive form of the verb adolscere, to grow, to mature, so an adolescent is maturing. Adult, from adoltus, is the part tense of the verb, which means, "matured."
I looked it up because I started to wonder why these near-opposite terms looked so much alike.

Bush's RCP average lead is down to a paltry 1.7. posted by Ace at 01:16 PM Comments It's not a secret that weekend polling has consistently created a Kerry bump that smooths out as the week begins anew. Why should it be different now? Also well-acknowledged is that tracking polls are less verifiable than "regular" polls, due to smaller sample sizes and wholesale lack of internals. Of more interest is a fact like Kerry pulling his ads from NM and effectively conceding that blue state. Keep abreast of the latest words at Nationalreview.com 's KerrySpot, Corner, and Battlegrounders, as well as the fascinating HorseRaceBlog (jaycost.blogspot.com). Posted by: Nick on November 1, 2004 01:38 PM Normal people were celebrating Halloween yesterday, especially Bush voting married family people and Non-New York liberals. Normal people also hang up on telemarketers and pollsters. The best news is that Kerry is only leading by 8 points in Florida's early voting. Old people have been standing in line since 5:30 am, bused in by democrats from their nursing homes, the Republicans haven't even voted yet, and Kerry only has 51%! (I want to know where the other 6% went in that poll - I mean, these people don't remember who they voted for?) Posted by: Axolotl on November 1, 2004 01:46 PM Deep breaths, dude. It's going to be a long couple of days. Bush will win this thing. No worries here. Posted by: Slubgob on November 1, 2004 01:50 PM Ace: Man... you know I love you like the mother I never had... ... but, seriously. You keep wigging out like this, every time Zogby or some other partisan Dem-pocketed polling shill shoots a meaningful glance our way... and: I'm gonna make you tart up like the lead singer for Ratt and yodel "Body Talk" while wriggling on my lap like an amphetamined cobra, okay... ? We're ahead in Ohio, and pulling further away from the margin of error daily. Florida is defensible, and Kerry (meanwhile) is only just now discovering -- too late -- that PA, NJ and Hawaii are all trouble spots, rather than safe bets. Unclench, for the luvva mike. You could probably crack walnuts with that sphincter, right about now. :) Posted by: Kent on November 1, 2004 02:31 PM Tranquillo, amigo. With few exceptions (2000 being one. :( )Republican candidates tend to under-poll, until the "one that counts." For example, 1996: http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?ReportID=119 and http://www.ncpp.org/1936-2000.htm Reagan/Carter was "too close to call." Har! I don't believe a majority of voters wish to tatoo "Surrender Monkey" on their foreheads, so I look for a Bush win. Cordially...
