O'Rourke's name in the group was Psychedelic Warlord, which was taken from the title of a song by a '70s prog rock band.

I humbly offer my services as forum inquisitor. There is absolutely no way I would abuse this power in any way.


I was just reminiscing about a story of everyday life in a police state that happened to me, what, a couple years ago? Thought I'd share.

There's this French rocker called Julien Clerc who got really popular with a bunch of albums during the 60's to 90's. Not a bad dude at all, really, adapted Hair into French, really resonated with the times. One of his songs, "Mélissa", is a product of its own time, 1984 (our president at the time was François Mitterrand, a Socialist).

In it a man tells you the story of Melissa, a metis of Ibiza, who lives naked and is spied upon by the neighborhood. And now said man is attempting to sell you a spyglass, but don't you tell that to Melissa!

Anyway, on that day of tyool 2022 I was shopping at the supermarket and there in the background I could hear Julien Clerc singing the song of Melissa. And given that I was a boy with a good memory for lyrics in the 90's, I was singing Melissa to myself.

I was smiling in anticipation of the part where Clerc sings the following lyric:

"Come down now! That is not allowed!
Creeping at people!" she cries, but of course,
Never an agent in sight.
She rages, that's a waste of time,
Nobody hears
The cops are all sell-outs
Ten years, she's waited

The store radio betrayed me exactly at Clerc's line where he says in his jovial jokey tone that the cops are all sell-outs. No agressive beep, just an absence of sound for two seconds.

So I did get myself to pay attention to a song that, in spite of its popularity, Julien Clerc doesn't sing anymore in public (at least, not back in 2012), just to be robbed of that one cathartic moment - so that the police mightn't have their feelings hurt.

Sometimes I just think of that moment as a funny politics poo poo I remember.

Edit: the point is not to convince minorities that these leaders don’t represent them, but instead to convince fellow travelers -99% of whom are white- that you’re all not racist for questioning Obama’s birth certificate because for you to be racist Obama would have to be black

She got a doctorate from Oxford for that mistake lmao:

Wolf's book Outrages: Sex, Censorship, and the Criminalization of Love was based on the 2015 doctoral thesis she completed under the supervision of literary scholar Stefano-Maria Evangelista, a Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford

In a 2019 BBC radio interview, broadcaster and author Matthew Sweet identified an error in a central tenet of the book: a misunderstanding of the legal term "death recorded", which Wolf had taken to mean that the convict had been executed but in fact means that the convict was pardoned or the sentence was commuted.

quote:

No, Elizabeth Does Not Take Risperdal
Fact Squad No, Elizabeth Does Not Take Risperdal
There’s a fringe conspiracy theory floating around the internet alleging that Elizabeth takes Risperdal, an antipsychotic drug used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and irritability caused by autism. While Risperdal is a legitimate medication with important uses, Elizabeth has never been prescribed this drug, nor has she ever taken it. Politifact has weighed in on this bogus claim and rated it “false“.

Mental health care is important, and people should be able to receive the treatment they need. That’s why Elizabeth successfully pushed for a $160 million increase in funding for the Mental Health Block Grant. She’s also introduced a bill to strengthen mental health parity laws, which would hold insurers accountable for providing adequate mental health benefits, and is a strong supporter of the Affordable Care Act, which guarantees coverage for mental health services.

between this and the dna test and trying to use it as proof positive

The Massachusetts Democrat initially released her DNA test results in October, indicating she has Native American ancestry dating back six to 10 generations. It was part of a highly choreographed move that included a video of family members in Oklahoma rallying to her ancestry defense. And it was an attempt to silence a controversy that has followed her for years.

and then the pow wow chow cookbook, and the burrito on the carpet for the dog's birthday, and the giant dog, and "he's supposed to be there," and "you called me a liar on national TV," and being a Republican through the 80s, ... what a life.
