RED STATE WITCH

Fuck Hoover. Hello. (Redux)

June 7th, 2013

In one of his classic ”70s comedy routines, George Carlin used to say that he thought his phone was tapped by the FBI. He would answer every incoming phone call: “Fuck Hoover. Hello.”

In homage to the great Mr. Carlin, I’d like to say something similar to the NSA, which is undoubtedly Keeping The World Safe For Democracy™ by data-mining my posts:

Blow me, NSA [terror, bomb, anti-government, yadda-yadda-yadda]. I hope those tags will get me on the NSA’s radar. I’d hate to be the last one invited to the party.

What you need to know about Arabs, and by extension, muslims.

May 28th, 2013

- Wiccapundit

I came across this in a link at Cold Fury, one of the new additions to the blogroll.

Here are the bullet points; read the whole thing:

1. They don’t think the same way we do.
2. When you meet them in just the right circumstances, they are a very likable people.
3. Their values are fundamentally different from ours, their self-esteem is derived from a different source.
4. Not only can they not build the infrastructure of a modern society, they can’t maintain it either.
5. They do not think of obligations as running both ways.
6. In warfare, we think they are sneaky cowards, they think we are hypocrites.
7. In rhetoric, they don’t mean to be taken seriously and they don’t understand when we do.
8. They don’t place the same value on an abstract conception of Truth as we do, they routinely believe things of breathtaking absurdity.
9. They do not have the same notion of cause and effect as we do.
10. We take for granted that we are a dominant civilization still on the way up. They are acutely aware that they are a civilization on the skids.
11. We think that everybody has a right to their own point of view, they think that that idea is not only self-evidently absurd, but evil.
12. Our civilization is destroying theirs. We cannot share a world in peace. They understand this; we have yet to learn it.

We cannot prevail against islam – a malignant political ideology masquerading as a religion – until we are willing to understand what it is and what kind of culture inculcates it.

Just mind-blowing.

Watch this and see if you don’t find yourself holding your breath during the performance.

It pleases me to see such beauty in the world.

Help a blogger out.

May 7th, 2013

- Wiccapundit

You may have checked out Bob Owens’ blog, which is listed on our blogroll. It’s a smart, gun-friendly site with some great discussions.

Bob has announced he is taking a significant hiatus from blogging to attend to life issues; mainly, looking for work in the ObamaEconomy™ and dealing with some medical issues.

If y’all appreciate what the many selfless, unpaid bloggers do providing an antidote to the static of the MSM, consider helping this one out in a time of need by dropping something in his tip jar. He’s not asking for help from his readers; I’m just suggesting that we in the ‘Verse consider it.

We all need to stick together.

Weird Shit. At least that’s what they say they sell.

April 21st, 2013

- Wiccapundit

I stumbled upon this on the InterWebTubez:

Trickgnosis. Odd. Commodities.

Any site selling stuff that calls itself “unabashedly free-market,” claims that “pork is never bad, my friend,” and has collections of Philip K. Dick novels is my kind of place.

Check it out, buy some weird shit, and send them a money. In the ObamaEconomy™, we have to keep places like this alive.

Baba O’Riley on acoustic piano – Totally Awesome.

April 15th, 2013

- Wiccapundit

I stumbled on this today: a completely acoustic version of The Who’s epic Baba O’Riley on piano. This kid plays all the parts, including the computer-sequenced arpeggiated opening riff (?!), the chords, the guitar licks, and the closing viola solo. Oh, and he sings it too. Then he just gets up and motherfuckin’ walks off camera. Too cool.

Gallery of the Intrepid: WTF? Edition

April 9th, 2013

- Wiccapundit

To thank everyone for sticking around to see if we still existed, I promised some actual, mmm, CONTENT. This one sorta blew my mind:

Evelyn Glennie is a Scottish virtuosa percussionist. Royal Academy of Music grad? Check. Grammy Award winner? Check. Regular extensive world tours with orchestras and collaborations with musicians ranging from Bjork to Bobby McFerrin? Check. Performed on Sesame Street and at the Olympic Games? Check. Deaf as a post? Check. Wait, what?

Hearing? I don’t need no stinkin’ hearing to be a professional musician.

Glennie began to lose her hearing at age 8, and by age 12, was profoundly deaf. You’d think that hearing would be the one thing necessary for a professional musician. Nah, not so much. She often performs barefoot, and feels the music through her whole body.

Here is an interesting TED talk where she plays and talks about how to really listen to music:

Moral of the story? Don’t let anything stop you from doing what you want to do. Deaf? Be a musician. Worked for Beethoven.

It’s been encouraging to see that despite being down for nearly a month, our little site is still attracting visitors, many of whom were regularly checking in to see what happened to us.

Thanks for being here! Now I’m going to have to provide some actual content. I’ll have some new posts up over the next few days.
