Mr. Paul Anka On That Infamous Tape: "I love it. It's great."

No disagreement on that one, Mr. Anka:

That was recorded 15 years ago by a real snake that we fired. We had a nice big moment on Howard Stern, where he played the tape and he absolutely agreed with it. He said "I've done that. I do that." And everybody does. I think any guy running a company gets the whole point of that tape. I'm a real stickler for detail, and I have a real strong responsibility to my audience. When I'm up on that stage, anything I do has to be as perfect as possible for the consumer and for whomever. I don't just go to work and take the check and run. What happened there was there were a lot of mistakes in the band, in the sense that we'd rehearsed it one way, and we'd have a cutoff, where everybody has to end together. The other thing was that we'd spent a lot of money getting guys dressed so there was uniformity. And the guys just dropped the ball.

Thanks to Karol.

"So you've got to look at the full mosaic. This is a small pebble on the whole infrastructure of business. "

That's classic.

If for no reason, the tirade was worth it simply for compelling, years later, Terri Gross to say "When I f'in' move I slice like a f'in' hammer."

At some point in the future, Mr. Paul Anka will be revered in the same way that billions of Asians now revere Confucius.

Anka Priest: Who knoweth the whereabouts of Joe?
Congregation: No one, for Joe resides not in the light of Mr. Paul Anka's glory.
Anka Priest: Who giveth value for money?
Congregation: Verily, Mr. Paul Anka giveth value for money.
Anka Priest: Do we heed the word of the deceiver, Vinny Falcone?
Congregation: Nay, for Mr. Paul Anka is not like unto Vinny Falcone.
Anka Priest: Let us pray, my bretheren.
Congregation: Yea, when Anka moveth, he sliceth like a fucking hammer. All glory to Mr. Paul Anka! Amen.

Does anybody have a link to an mp3 of Mr. Anka's performance?

Given Mr. Anka's attention to detail, how do you suppose he'd feel about your little "Elfstones of Shannara" fiasco, and the fact that IntegrityWatch: 2005 hasn't yet forced you to resign in shame?

I think he'd sick Vinnie Falcone on you. That's what I think. That's just the f'n way it is.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton discuss the obvious incompatibility of Islam with free societies, John Bolton is a disloyal sleaze, The SAVE Act is in the muck of Senate RINOs, the crappy quality of anti-American propaganda, and more!
Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.

Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode
Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948."
Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."
