One of my close friends went to the Sturgill Simpson show in Detroit the other night and said it was transcendent. Check out the set list if you don’t believe him. Luckily nugs.net does a free trial and they’re all streaming there. Pretty sure I heard Matt on MK or the most recent pod say *something* all the way down and thought it might be a nod to Mr blue skies. Sorry for the stream of consciousness I have a 28 day old child. Love yall.
I saw Sturgill at the Greek Theater here in LA and it was incredible. He played for almost three hours straight and mixed in a bunch of covers ("LA Woman", "Midnight Rambler" and "Crying" among them), including closing his set with "Purple Rain." His band is incredible, too, especially the keyboard/sax player who rocked a Beavis and Butthead tank top.
You know, I was pretty on the fence about that Mike Molinaro guy before, but now, I feel convinced that there's never been a rottener SOB to walk the face of the planet.
For my birthday (yes, I now have the unfortunate luck to share it with this attack), I want all Hamas and Hezbollah to be wiped from the Earth. I'm not usually a fire and brimstone kind of guy but being apart of the most repugnant group of people and enjoying the hurt and death caused to innocents will get me there.
So here's my desire for a Super Bowl commercial this year: grab Coco and half a dozen more kids like her, and have them read lines from some of these political ads. Then poll the general populace to see how many out there can recognize that this has all gone off of the rails.
A hurricane is bearing down on the Swamp, you say? An answer to decades of prayers from *every other* SEC school alum! May a meteor strike! Let the sun fall from the sky and land on Gatorland. U of Florida delanda est!
Sorry your conference was canceled, but you should never go where all things Good, True, and Beautiful refuse to tread anyway.
I'm only kinda joking.... it is football season after all.
Auburn fan here (and partial alum, lol—I transferred after my first year because big SEC schools with lots of partying to get into are a bad match for a personality like mine), now in Queens, NYC and never living down South again, but I do miss football season. Couldn’t fucking stand going to away games at “the swamp”; no matter how undeniably hot their girls were/are, it couldn’t make up for the shittiness of their bro boyfriends. It actually gave me a newfound appreciation for our arch-nemesis up in Tuscaloosa; they may suck, but at least they’re halfway civilized. (Saw some great games between the hedges though by the way; you guys usually acquitted yourselves well behaviorally, in my experience, and man, Athens is almost certainly the best SEC school town. Oxford, MS, is nice too, but it ain’t Athens.)
The party life got to you? :D Happens to the best of us. Usually the worst you'd get from a UGA fan is getting barked at - especially as an Auburn fan :) There have been some *wicked* UGA-AU games...
As you know, Georgia is spared from going to the swamp bcs of the Worlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party in JAX, and I can assure you that Gators are just as vile there as at home. We've played one home and home w/ F in my lifetime, and the old ball coach was at the helm, so I'll just leave it at that. It's been 5752 days since UF has won a natl title, and that has taken a little steam out of their obnoxiousness lately.
This song is my happy place, and it sounds like you will also enjoy it:
Man, Coates really swept Glenn Loury right off his feet! Enough to make him re-think everything he's ever said about him. I've lived to see the day. This new book must be really something.
Re: Megyn Kelly. I like her, but she's somewhat lost her way. I think the subtext of your answer Moynihan, is that she's a victim of audience capture. The fact that you can't have a truly honest conversation with her is evidence of that. Not if you have to meter your words that hard.
I remember those conversations a year ago quite well. I had never heard of Matt Duss, and even though I didn't necessarily agree with a lot of what he was saying, he sure came across as thoughtful and an honest broker. I haven't seen or heard from him since, as I don't do Twitter and I probably don't read the sites where he does his work, so maybe he's gone off the rails (so many people I had previously respective do when they stop touching grass), but given the events of the last year, and especially the last month, I would love to hear his perspective again. Same goes really for all of the past guests mentioned.
Thank you for posting. Again, would love to have him on again to discuss this. Just for what it's worth, Ctrl-F on 'Hezbollah' returns 0 results, on 'Iran' returns 1 result, and 'proxy' or 'proxies' returns 0 results. If you hadn't told me who wrote it beforehand, I would've almost thought it was some right-wing site. The horseshoe has truly gone Ouroboros these last couple of years. Not saying every argument he makes is wrong (there's so much gray in this situation), but I feel like you at least have to address the 'mullahs in the room' when it comes to Iran, and either come with a counter-argument or concede that this is a messy, utterly fucked-up situation with no easy solution.
I don't know jack about Duss or New Republic but I'm donating to them for having published that. Also, Matt I surveyed my Google search results and cannot find that thing you mentioned where Israel must spend 100% of aid on US supplied stuff. Can you share? Thanks and regards, JJC

Coco has got the delivery down. Who knows, 15 years from now we might be hearing her voiceovers in every other political attack ad!
My kids can also re-enact this era's attack ads word for word. It's funny! And disturbing.

I'm not usually a fire and brimstone kind of guy but being apart of the most repugnant group of people and enjoying the hurt and death caused to innocents will get me there.
My six year old saw an attack ad this weekend and when it was over, she asked, "Is she a bad guy?"
So here's my desire for a Super Bowl commercial this year: grab Coco and half a dozen more kids like her, and have them read lines from some of these political ads. Then poll the general populace to see how many out there can recognize that this has all gone off of the rails.

Athens... sigh. After all these years I'm still in love. Oxford is very nice too, and even I was wowed by the beauty of the girls.

NATO is just a sort of sanctuary for unelected Neocons.
US foreign policy is most certainly untenable.
