Frank Zappa & Captain Beefheart - Muffin Man

Yesterday marked the passing of Don Van Vliet A.K.A. Captain Beefheart.
Although I have posted this song elsewhere on this blog. I had to re-post it today in honor of The Captain. I actually think it was fitting for Zappa's "mutually useful but volatile" friend to pass during the holy season of Zappdan. I will not corrupt this post with any politics today. I do want to recommend you check out the Zappa interview with Dick Cavett at Mock, Paper, Scissors. Muffin Man was always one of my favorite Zappa solos and you can hear the Captain doing back up vocals, soprano sax, and madness towards the end of the tune. Now go arrogantly twist the sterile canvas snoot of your fully charged icing anointment utensil and - poot forth!
Happy Zappadan day 14! Muffin Man

Getting your covid-19 vaccine in Florida

Image
Dear Sirs, You are so completely disorganized, and have completely mismanaged distribution of the covid-19 vaccine. I should expected nothing less from the Trump wannabe loser Ron DeSantis. I requested text via your website for communication. Instead you telephoned me and emailed me. I repeatedly reached out to you and requested you contact me and heard absolutely nothing from you.  When somebody called me it was from an unidentified phone number so I missed it and it had to go to voicemail. You are the State of Florida and you do not have telephone identification? You handled this piss poorly, you dropped the ball, in other words you suck. You took forever to get back to me, and the girl who finally  contacted me, was completely incompetent as a call center person. She took forever to ask me a few simple questions and was such a poor listener that she made me repeat myself several times. You told me the only place that I could get the vaccination was far from my home at the Southwest

Eat the rich!

or Conservative: It's what's for dinner. You may have heard statements like this posts title from crazy lefties like myself. It's just a metaphor right? Remember "Soylent green is people"?   I think cannibalism gets a bad rap, and hollywood is to blame. Human flesh is high in protein and has less hormones in it that your standard roast beef sandwich. Our aversion and disgust with the idea of eating Raoul is a purely mental hangup. It's just good nutrition, and delicious too!   If the powers that be insist on crushing the economy AND destroying our social safety net, eating the the rich may be our only alternative to starvation. (Vegans don't start with me, you're just corn fed beef and quite tasty) As absurd as this post is, keep this in mind: One fat fuck conservative like say...Chris Christie or Rush Limbaugh, can feed a family of 4 for a year.* Take note conservatives: Americans ARE starving and running out of options. Now if you wil

You don't mess with your cleaning lady.

Image
Imagine you are a house cleaner. You show up whenever and you start doing the house. While you are cleaning the bathroom scrubbing some s*** or piss, the owner starts moving your stuff around making it more difficult for you to do the job. He also insults you, tells lies about you, takes credit for work that you did. The minute you leave he pisses all over the floor. This is how Democrats must feel. Republicans lie about us cheat us, when we are the ones that are continually cleaning up their mess. Every single time Republicans are in charge they rack up the national debt, they crash the economy, cause massive loss of jobs. When the Democrats are in charge, we have continual job growth, a strong economy, and we pay down the national debt. Yes we had to raise taxes because the idiots ran up the national debt, usually with a stupid tax cut, or a war or a wall or some other stupid waste of money. (The F-35 comes to mind). The least they could do
