There’s something beautiful about Marcia Ball followed by Steve Earle followed by The Allman Brothers followed by Justin Trevino. I’m so glad I’m a Texan that I can not only know these guys, but appreciate what they mean in the so-called Grand Scheme of Things.

And I had nothing to do with it…just soaked it all up, where it was, and where I was. It’s silly to even care as I approach 50, but screw it. I love it so much.

SPITZER HAS USED HOOKERS FOR 10 YEARS: SOURCES - New York Post

Disgraced Gov. Spitzer dropped up to $80,000 on sex with prostitutes, sources revealed tonight.

Note to the Obamaniacs: Spitzer was the last Great Democratic God of Reform and Change and Hope dropped on an unsuspecting electorate. And those sleek peoples from Manhattan are way smarter than us hillbillies. IJS.

In the meantime:

• Hypocritical cocksucker gets his nuts in a vise…shocking, I tells ya. Ho hum. Anyone who didn’t see this coming after reading all the loving horseshit from the Noo Yawk papers was willingly idiotic.
• 10 years? Dude’s 48…that means he was whoredogging at 38 at an absolute minimum. An extremely rich and certainly powerful man choosing to get his freak on with pay-for-play at thirty-eight years of age? Dude…zero game. Ejected from the Man Species.
• Eighty thousand motherfucking dollars? That’s 8k per year, or seven Benjis per month. There’s more — way more.
• Or there are a veritable plethora of Manhattanesque chippies wishing like hell they’d called the Post last week.
• I just want to know how you ask your wife to stand up there on the toob by your side and take the fall for being a whoredog with you. I bet he sent a servant to do the begging for him. This asshole didn’t sit at the kitchen table and spill the beans.
• A more interesting psychological/sociological question that precisely noboby cares about for more than 10 seconds is how you, as a wife and a mother, stand up there on the toob by his side and take the fall with the cocksuck.
• My answer to the immediately-above is that there is a game played on a level I can’t even comprehend that revolves power and perceived power amongst her group of hens and beta-roosters.
• I’m stuck wondering what a $5000 piece of tail is like. Except, it doesn’t exist. Except in the minds of these tremendously rich & powerful dorks who like to tell everybody else how to live. UPDATE: WONDERING NO MO TKS ACE UDAMAN

Eh, it should be shocking to nobody. The only fun left in this is over/under prop bets on what kind of deal he works out. Looking at him, I bet he rolls on somebody low and then walks. Speaking of The Wahr and all, as we just were…

Party Poker Blog

If only one of you picks up Season One DVD of The Wire and begins the journey, I’ll have done my duty.

Take a chance on one of the most important TV shows ever made.
And by important, I mean awesome.

Probably not what you’d expect out something titled Party Poker Blog, but that’s our Iggster.

I’ll just boil down what I said to the man, and it’s that not one single iota of what was presented to (apparently only) a rapt few is news to anyone older than 35. And I’ll throw another twist in here that I didn’t throw at my buddy, and that’s that No Country For Old Men is the prologue to this, but David Simon didn’t live it, so it didn’t make it to the Golden Hallowed Halls of HBO.

Still, I think it’s probably an important ‘thing.’ I’m purposely vague with the noun ‘thing’, because what do you call a teevee series that unfolded over five seasons on a network that charges people extra to see, and is now only available in a box-set from Amazon? It’s not an event. Maybe all this ends up at Half-Price books cheap, like I found 90% of my learning. I’d say it’s worth it, but I say that reading all of Cormac McCarthy’s books are worth it. I’d say that watching all of the Coens’ movies is worth it. Hell, to me, all of it’s worth it, really, if it’s worth it to you — it’s your time. Bottom line, I think there’s a qualitative difference between an ensemble series that requires play-actors who might not even understand the words in their mouth and unfolds over five years on pay satellite, when it’s compared to a Moby Dick or an In Cold Blood or a Blood Meridian.

But, and this is my Important Point — don’t go thinking a book or a movie or a teevee series is going to change how most of the world works.

Unless you’re American Idol, and then you can suck in lots of morons and get them to think well of those Clay and Carrie pretty people, and force them onto your NASCAR broadcasts and me out onto the deck to check the smoker.

Dang, I gotta go get a blood test tomorrow and I’ve done nothing but drink beer since 8pm. I’ve got thirty minutes before I go on my ‘fast.’ Screw ‘em. I haven’t felt as regularly bad as I feel right now with five damn prescriptions in me, in my entire life, including lying in the hospital with flesh-eating bacteria trying to kill me. I think I’ll just go on the cave-man + hayseed diet and see how far it takes me. I’ve actually grown to love the cake-bowl salad, and who couldn’t eat brisket five nights a week? I do love fresh-baked sourdough, though. Brand-new hot bread with butter is the devil’s work, I tell you.

Bet this is causing a scramble for potential open postings in the Pentagon:

Any army with a uniform that includes miniskirts and 3-inch stiletto heels, AND enough ladies who can pull it off? Frightening ruthlessness.

Via SP…

RANDOM THOUGHT UPDATE: I bet this plays hell with the OODA loop.
