 "Yeah, Jews are racist, but we don't see skin color. We see IQ and income level. That's all I'm going to say. Yeah, goys, that's what all you guys are. Have you ever heard that word? Goy, it's Yiddish for non-Jew. Yiddish is like Jewish ebonics. Goy means non-Jew. And just so you know, when you hear it, you think it's fun and friendly when they're saying it to you. It's not, they're shitting on you, okay?" (Cont'd.)

    

 "Goy's a derogatory word. Probably my favorite derogatory word. Yeah, because most derogatory words, they single out one race or culture and make them feel bad. Not goy. Goy is the most inclusive of all the derogatory words. Do you know how pompous that is, to have as your term for 'the other'? That means, to them, it's one-tenth of one percent of the world. And then, ugh: Various shades of goy."

DEVO

It's getting ugly out there,...

DEVO Is Retiring At 50

‘We were once paid $50 to quit’

 

DEVO-LUTION: A Life In Music Is Funny (Mine Is Anyway)

There was once this band out of Akron, Ohio, who found they wanted to change their sound.

And - while in Los Angeles - they heard that new sound in a kid visiting from Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The band went on to write their biggest hit.

But their record company couldn't hear "Whip It" immediately - they rallied around a song called "Girl U Want" and pushed it HARD - but it still flopped. And they blamed the band.

The band didn't know why. DEVO co-founding member, Gerald Casale, recently said:

"I love that song. I guess If Axl Rose covered it, it would have been a No. 1 hit."

Why am I telling you this? Because I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and just happened to work for a radio station.

While there, I also heard someone from Minneapolis, Minnesota who inspired me to explore music further. 

And, once I did, wouldn't you know comparisons started being made to Axl Rose? 

I just want to tell DEVO to blame their record company: despite the fans loving it, using "Girl U Want" as the middle eighth to one of my songs didn't do shit for my career, either. 

Judging Countries By "The Content Of Their Character"

This is a photo of America's "real" Industrial Revolution

By the time 1807 rolled around, 4 out of every 5 people who came to America was from Africa. The country was moving about 400,000 lbs. of cotton then. By the beginning of the Civil War (1860) that number had swelled to 2 billion lbs. How'd America achieve that, without some new innovation in cotton production?

Right-Whites Never Asked Me If I Agreed To Anything

Somebody sold you a load of bullshit

I've been making this point, here, in one way or another, for the last seven years - directly to conservatives - to no avail:

"There can only be a tacit bargain if you imagine white people and black people as two separate nations negotiating a zero-sum deal. Of course this is ridiculous: justice is not zero sum. But lamentations like the Times' not only buy into this imaginary treaty, but also suggest black people aren't holding up their side of the agreement: 'The racial comity that the election of Barack Obama seemed to promise has not materialized...' 'Comity' is a term for legal reciprocity—when two separate legal entities agree to enforce each other's laws. A quirk of this great racial truce: only black people can violate it. 

What tacit bargainers have always been asking is, Isn't there something else we can substitute for true equality? The answer is no. In the end, there can be no compromise. Making Oprah rich is not enough."

There's still hope for whites yet

Maybe, if you're white, your heritage might make you feel better - and push you to do the right thing; help you see it all another way. Your heritage, not blacks - we're fine as we are. Anyway, here's a "happy" white warning from '78 to nudge you ahead. Remember: the future is always now - and yes, We Are DEVO:

The TMR Challenge: TMR Vs. Instapundit On The N$A

Here's something else Instapundit wasn't telling you, during the last election, while he was all Rah-Rah for Romney:

[Discredited vitamin supplements are] the business Honest Abe - I mean, Mitt Romney - made his $250 million dollar fortune in,...but it gets better. According to the original link PW sent me on [Mitt Romney's] Nutraceutical, it's 'beginnings date to 1993, when Bain Capital, Inc.--a Boston-based private equity company--paired with senior management to organize Nutraceutical and consolidate what its leaders thought was a very divided nutritional supplements industry.'" 

- TMR, "You're So Bain, Part II (The Vetting Of Mitt Romney,...)" - June 10, 2012

How do we square Glenn Reynolds' claim, today, that Mitt Romney's "quite possibly the best human being to run for the White House in quite a few election cycles," with the fact Romney's industry - supplements and vitamins - just took a huge hit ("Enough is enough") for perpetrating a massive decades-long fraud on, not only the American people, but the entire Western world?

Some would say there's something very wrong with Glenn Reynolds (I didn't make this artwork). Here he is, backing Mia Love, who shares Romney's "faith" that started the bogus supplement industry - you know, the other massive, decades-long, easily-debunked racist con job Reynolds recently backed by liberally throwing "bigot" around.

As Reynolds' popularity proves, being involved in con jobs are, apparently, what can make you "the best" online.

But, since I know (because I'm black) it's not enough for me to merely say and prove Glenn Reynolds is DEVO's "Mongoloid,"  I'm willing to back it up: 

 Since Reynolds says he's "not so sure" the judge’s decision striking the NSA Program will not stand - and since I am sure Instapundit speaks without a firm grasp of reality - I'm willing to bet anyone a dollar ($1.00) that Glenn Reynolds will be found wrong again.

Yes, Glenn Reynolds, you can bet, too.

It's A Gentlemen's Bet, to make a point - and since TMR's Right-Wing Racial Reality Check™ isn't winning me any friends - it'll raise some money so my non-finishing-college-because-I-couldn't-afford-it ass can eat on Christmas, too!

So, if you think The Blogfather has a track record worthy of your participation and readership, take The TMR Challenge and possibly render me even further bankrupt - one buck at a time.

   

"Take my word/please beware/of the man that just don't give a care,..."

It's a Twofer, Wingers:

You can redeem your Mistra Know It All - AND fulfill the white conservative dream of stopping black fingers from ever typing anything they can't abide hearing again.

Like Glenn Reynolds is part of the problem.

 Go on - take The TMR Challenge - and "Win From Losing" once more,...

 

Devo Shutdown Theme Song: We're Through Being Cool

I keep telling them they can't win - they keep on saying they don't care:

Time to whip out the ray guns,...

Alan Myers, Devo's "Human Metronome" Has Died

Another great Jazz man who made his name pretending like Jazz died,...

Myers is on the right and played on "Whip It" and many other DEVO tunes.

The Cultural Wasteland Got Wasted (By Cookie Monster)

When a Sesame Street cover song is better than the lame original, Ladies and Gentlemen, we have some SERIOUS artistic and cultural issues to address in this country. Honestly, it's over - we're done. We've hit rock bottom. It's simply going to get uglier from here on out.

 Nothing against Cookie Monster, BTW - I love Cookie Monster! But when this icon of the 5-year old and younger set's love of confections can so easily be presented as - and is - more relevant than the synth beat lust of a (admittedly superficial) teenage girl, well,...it's all the proof I need we've simply lost the plot.

The damn song isn't even any good without him! 

 Sigh. Four years of Barack Obama, the emergence of Mitt Romney, hardly a decent song heard in ages, and now this. It's DEVO, people, right before our eyes. The last gasps of a dying empire.

Decline is a choice,...

Negativland

Of course, it's the NewAge, so Devo's back - wearing their "energy dome" helmets.

They're gonna need 'em.

Come on, weirdos - don't despair - even L. Ron Hubbard had a Jazz band!

And have I mentioned that Scientology is moving into India - at the same time the Indians are making a crazy pro-Hitler movie? What a coinkidink!

Don't give up hope, believers:

If you don't kill your kids first, NewAge may win out yet!

News has it that Camilla Parker Bowles must be whipping the sexy on Prince Charles something fierce, because he's back to confidently spitting the wicked wang-dang doodle like there's no tomorrow.

And, if we leave it up to him, there won't be a tomorrow.

Prince Charles exit question:

Is it even possible for Camilla Parker Bowles to whip the sexy on anybody?

Speaking of pretenders to the throne of desirability, Kabbalah star Madonna got played.

But, then, she deserved it.

Which leads us to a morality tale:

Long after Charles de Gaulle taught the French to always lie about themselves being heroic, the latest celebrated French hero decides not to lie:

"I acted like a complete idiot."

And in case any of you other idiots don't get the memo on stupid:

Recycling is a ritual designed to punish you for living.

And you can take this much on faith, just like everything else:

God is not One - which was proven when Kelly Osborne stared screaming "My God loves gays!"

Listen, I honestly don't know why I'm doing this, or if anything I've written about God or spirituality is true or not, all I can tell you for sure is believing in things has certainly not been kind to us blacks,...

Just The Girl You Want

"I’ve told Craig a hundred times that I’m sorry for being so silly. I’ve told him that I didn’t know who would see the stupid bloody ‘status change’.

I’ve told him that I’ve changed it back so everyone who reads that kind of tripe has been alerted to my mistake.

But he doesn’t respond to me at all.

He doesn’t even turn to look at me when I speak his name.

He won’t even acknowledge I’m in the same room as him.

He can’t.

Because Craig is in a coma."

"Imagine that a group of people regularly slap their mothers. Another group of people thinks this is wrong. They present data on why slapping your mother is bad for your mother, and, in fact, for you. The slappers reject the data."

Here Comes The Cultism!!!! (Part I)

"Obama's nearly trillion-dollar plan will not merely repair bridges, fill potholes and fix up schools; it will also impose a utopian vision based on the belief that an economy is a thing to be planned from above. But this is an arrogant conceit. No one can possibly know enough to redesign something as complex as 'an economy,' which really is people engaging in exchanges to achieve their goals. Planning it means planning them."

-- John Stossel, who obviously hasn't read TMR's post on Obama's love for cultish "nudging," at ABC News.
