Conservatives Scare Me

As I drove the kids to school this morning, I heard Twitch speaking with a Dr. David Duncan about illegal immigration. I have no idea of what this Duncan character is a doctor of. If you’d like to hear the interview, here it is:

At any rate, a site supporting the cause was mentioned, so I checked it out just for shits and giggles. My God. The thing is hideous. Even if by some chance I slipped into a coma, came to, and decided that I should give support to such idiocy, there is know way that I would look to that website as a guiding light.

KFIRE.us – Kentuckians For Immigration Reform and Enforcement

One thing that I found humorous was the promotional video that the “webmaster” posted.

What makes the video so comical is the laughter heard during the beginning of the video, and the campy and extremely loud use of Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the USA as an overdub.

So, what do you think?

I say, “what the heck?” – or “ecky thump?”

Which leads me into a quote of a lyric from Jack White’s Icky Thump:
“White Americans, what, nothing better to do? Why don’t you kick yourself out, you’re an immigrant, too. Who’s using who? What should we do? Well, you can’t be a pimp and a prostitute, too.”

Coolest Billiards Table Made from a Volkswagen Bus You'll See Today

This amazing pool table was brought to Detroit’s Woodward Dream Cruise over the weekend, and it’s a fully-functional setup built inside of a first-generation VW bus. It’s unclear how many hippies go in for bar room games, but regardless, this is probably some of the coolest automotive furniture you’ll ever see.
