Frank Zappa - Plastic People #Zappadan day 11

From Absolutely Free released in 1967.
I don't usually care for the older, Mother's stuff.
Recording quality is poor and although there is some funny
and experimental music, I prefer Franks's later stuff.

The political tie in today; is that centrist, moderate liberals,
have been bashed in the media, on blogs, and in the twitterverse.
We are purists. We are too tough on our pragmatic, chess playing President.
"I know it's tough to defend an unpopular policy every once in a while"
Sorry, but our "Progressive president" is so far to the right at this point
as to be unrecognizable as a Democrat. (Reagan was farther left)
Attacking his base with a (never before seen) anger that should have been reserved for Republicans, and then spouting Reaganomic talking points.
The Audacity.!!!
(Your base is still waiting for that apology from you and Bobby Gibbs, Barry)
Bringing Bill Clinton onto the stage while he and Michelle,
went to a fucking party, added insult to injury.
(Who the hell has a X-mas Party prior to Dec 15?)
I want the guy I voted for, not a talking inaction figure.
If I hear pragmatic one more time,
I'm gonna puke on my Hope and Change poster..
Mr. President, pissing on your base while caving in on issue after issue
is not pragmatic, unless by pragmatic you mean shameless and weak.
Like Bush pissed away the surplus, you pissed away your
political capital on that other shitty deal: Health Care Reform .
Maybe Howard Dean or Bernie Sanders can loan you a testicle.
Happy Zappadan Day 11! Plastic People,Obama now you're such a drag.

    "Don't" "Usually" "Care" for the "Older" "Stuff?"

    The older stuff WAS the Mothers.

    By 1971, it's like Van Hagar. Except everyone BUT David Lee Roth is replaced. The band has the same name, but...

    Thanks for the comment. 1967 I was 7 and not even into music. My first into to Zappa was Overnight Sensation, and I tend to like from that era thru Joe's Garage thru "You are what you is" The Mother's of invention (with a few exceptions) does not usually appeal to me. That's the Beauty of Frank's being so prolific. There is plenty fo material and almost every fan has different favorites.

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
