Chumbawumba also moved into cutups/plunderphonics years before groups like Girl Talk made the Pitchfork crowd's knees buckle.

Tom Morello was on Bill Maher a few weeks ago, and everything he said was some version of 'I AINT A PART OF YOUR SYSTEM MAN'. I worry about people who think RATM's politics are more complicated than an angry toddler's.

Sharing Echo & the Funnymen (but lots!), Electronic (the second album is great, mostly),The Fall (but lots!), and Fugazi with our host:

Pence has a good shot as the Republican candidate in 2020. I'd be surprised if he ran for vp with trump.

Speaking as a GenXer, I can't remember a single peer saying anything supportive, much less 'idealistic', about the contract for America. The right-wingers I knew were far more into Perot.

Donald does something idiotic just about every day. *That's* the pattern.

He's had a fantastic 'hey it's that guy' career. Personally I think that's cooler than being a big star.

IIRC Sorkin was going to have Zoe kidnapped by white supremacists, not Qumari terrorists. (In the 4th season finale [I believe] Nancy McNally notes that Zoe's kidnapping doesn't seem like the work of terrorists.)

Big Love ends after season three.

For those of you in Washington DC, this is called the Kramerbooks model.

Hey I spent a summer reading Crime and Punishment on a beach, so Lolita would work there as well.

The fundamental question: who's calling them hillbillies? Hillary's not. This problem is chimeric.

So to summarize: you're arguing that Hillary's doing something wrong because she can't convince people who, for deeply embedded cultural reasons, will never vote for her to vote for her, and it's because people make fun of hillbillies. Also, it's better to lie to people about their job prospects than promise something

You seem to be under the assumption that West Virginians can vote for someone who would save their coal jobs. They can't! The market has spoken. Anyone who says they can save coal is lying.

But they're voting against their self-interest by voting for anyone who promises to bring coal back. That's straight-up lying!

I saw Pig before KMFDM when touring for Nihil. Yeah on record their pretty hit-or-miss, but Watts is pretty good with KMFDM.

No, that clip is in medias res where she's talking about clean energy and specifically transitioning from coal mining to clean technology. The 'coal miners out of work' is the why, not the what.

And you're intentionally ignoring the full context which is 'we're going to put coal miners out of work and replace them with clean energy jobs'. And she's not wrong!

It's a tricky line she has to walk, and arguably this particular example is a conflict she can't win. She's telling the truth; coal mining is a dead industry; even China's not propping it up anymore. But she also can't really promise to replace coal jobs with clean energy jobs in WV because the Republican government

She didn't promise to take away their jobs. Coal mining jobs are going away, no matter who is president! Clinton's realistic about this, vs Republicans who are promising 'coal forever!'
