No film for this one because Eric is a one-man trombone quartet, via overdubbing. But the sound is terrific, so I’m including it. Catch up with Eric here
All right! Gay wedding cakes for everyone!
Am I the only one in Dupont Circle who thinks it’s okay if “Christians” don’t sell wedding cakes to gays? I mean, gays can cook, can’t they? All “fabulous” jokes aside, it would be “interesting” if one of those godly bakeries would refuse to sell a wedding cake for a Jewish wedding, but it’s unlikely…
Capitalism shaky, Mozart firm
OK, perhaps “shaky” is too strong a term, but consider: I recently ordered a high-end office chair from a high-end store for my high-end office, aka “my bedroom.” Yesterday the chair arrived. A hole had been punched in the box, and a handle used to make one of the many high-end adjustments had broken off….
Pseudo New Yorker
Legal humor here “If we want to really levitate this fucker I think we should be holding hands.” “Okay, today’s mantra, if you haven’t already guessed, is ‘boots’.” “Was everyone comfortable with that ‘Om’? Or maybe I should say, was anyone comfortable with that ‘Om’? Listen, people. Buddha loves winners, and, by extension, Buddha hates…
David Ignatius, stumbling reluctantly over the truth
Wash Post columnist David Ignatius is widely regarded as the mouthpiece of the Washington establishment. If it’s conventional wisdom you’re after, Dave is full of it. In a recent column, “NATO’s New Perils, Dave displays, rather despite himself, an awareness that past conventional wisdom is, shall we say, full of it as well. “The NATO…
Ted Cruz, too “oleaginous” to win, says Ross Douthat
Ross Douthat, totally covering (and totally not lubricating) his ass, quotes two unnamed conservatives to the effect that Sen. Ted has just too greasy an affect to resonate with the Republican masses. Is this just a (barely) polite way of saying “This guy sucks”? Dunno, but if Ted comes a-callin’, Mr. Douthat better not bend…
Is New York the New Beige?
Not the real New York, of course, the place located about 220 miles north of DC, but the New York of the mind, and, more specifically, the New York of the movies and TV. The notion that New York is the only place in the world where a cool person could possibly live was due,…
Who are the demeanor police?
Well, Jennifer Rubin, that’s who, who nails Jeb Bush for faulty demeanor—lack of “passion”, to be precise—for his limp-wristed takedown of aging Republican realist James Baker, or “the spawn of Beelzebub,” as Jennie likes to call him. We’re watching you, Jeb, we’re watching! Afterwords Previously, Jennie and other hawk-eyed right-wingers pummeled Rand Paul for not…
Pseudo New Yorker
Legal humor here. “Your father calls it his ‘Bird Cave’.” “Children, all I can say is that the line between security and servitude is less than absolute.” “They say it’s the coming thing but it isn’t.” “Never take a worm from him and never give him one either.” “I’ve seen these things come and go….
