Lem Vibe Bandit said...: We are all on thin Ice.

I liked that idea of List A Beefes #2s..

number twos are the ones in the middle.. the ones Romney and Obama and every polititian of late says to focus on but cant quite deliver.. like a certain team that lost on the big show.; 2/5/12, 11:50 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Don't Throw it all Away

This song never made it to #1.. it sounds like a number 1.. but it was not!; 2/5/12, 11:58 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Just A Job To Do

This song never made it to #1 and it was the best thing it could have happened.; 2/6/12, 12:06 AM

This song never made it to #1.. shame I was not old enough to do anything about it.; 2/6/12, 12:17 AM
Wince said...: I sense entrapment, hierarchy and escapism.

Like the brightly colored couple was roped into an afternoon of being "shown how it's done" by the alpha on the right, while his buddy slouches in the chair looking off in the distance dreaming of a place where there's more to life.; 2/6/12, 12:18 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I sense entrapment, hierarchy and escapism.

And I sence a Hollywood film the likes of wich not many people in Wisconsin get to live.. in real life.. because maybe they got bigger fish to fry .. like their governor ;); 2/6/12, 12:23 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: California Girls

This has to be the unlikeliest song never to make it to #1 in the American top 100 Billboard.. ever.; 2/6/12, 12:38 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Eyes Without A Face

Coming back to football.. why do we have to have a rule about helmets? (acording to smart people writing books) the reson is because the team w/o helmets would have an advantage.. and lord know we cant have that.

btw.. Eyes w/o a face never made it to #1.. they prob blmed it on the title of the fucking song.; 2/6/12, 12:48 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Loving the Pats and the Sox is...

Bad Medicine..

Bad Medicine was not even close to #1

waht was that saying?

never underestimate the taste of the American People... Brilliant when right.. but when wrong.. its spectacularly wrong.. and then some of us dare say that evn when we are "wrong" we are right.. wrong for the right reasons.. at least thats how Hillary would explaine it.. eventually in her book..

Hillary better write her own fucking book.. everybody that tried faild.. including The New York Times very own..

James B. Stewart
..a "nice guy" who tried to write about first lady Hillary and could not.; 2/6/12, 1:25 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: The Way It Is.. under Obama.. at least the job part.

this song came as close as 8 in the top 100.; 2/6/12, 1:33 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Everything I have been saying.. just ask yourself..
Would I Lie To You?

not a #1; 2/6/12, 1:37 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: My brothers and sisters playng follow the leader.. (Romney)

Wishing on a star..

Song never made it.. close as 49 in its 90's revival.; 2/6/12, 1:48 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Speaking of wishing on a star..

Foolish Beat..

I'm trying to thing to think of a conservative.. a big time conservative leaving the fold.. and I cant remember one.. other than that guy who we (conservatives) payed to write (dig up) about Hillary and when he could not.. he developed an awakening.. suddenly his gayness interfered with his job.. and he went to work for the other side.. all the while maintaining that when he was working for the "dark side" he had been under some spell or other.. now he is under the very lucrative spell of George Soros.

Brook "roomed" with a Clinton appointee.

The good old days of the Clintons.. when people were not afraid to speak out.; 2/6/12, 2:26 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Btw.. Foolish Beat.. not a #1; 2/6/12, 2:32 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: All this time.. irrespective of a Sting by the Police..

Money is for Nothing.

Not a #1.. if there was ever a song.; 2/6/12, 2:42 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I Love You Always Forever

It was #8.. a long long time ago.. the year of our lord.. in the time called 1996 ;)

it sounded older to me.. personal joke.. i accept personal bows.; 2/6/12, 2:56 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Stay..

Not even close.. if 80 is considered far.; 2/6/12, 3:04 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: The Power Of Love..

We were enthused by some other thing.. other than the power of love.

Not #1; 2/6/12, 3:12 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Flashdance..

Take your passion and make it happen!

Young libs have passion..

I'm just saying.; 2/6/12, 3:34 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Flashdance.. #3 in 83.; 2/6/12, 3:35 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I'm Not lying when i say some of the performances I've linked to portray artist singing off key.

I have let my enthusiasm carry the day at times.. for that I apologise.. I cant apologise if some poeple cant sing live.. which is the case lot of times you have a one, two hit wonder.

It was not my intention to make anyone suffer.

Still the pourpose to wit I linked the offensive song was withing the bounds of the pouposed for which i was linking.. for the general pleasure as that may be allowed within the bounds of thr general public.. the general pleasure of the general public.

Let me be clear!; 2/6/12, 4:39 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Obama is fond of saying "let me be clear"..

Asshole doesn't understand the first rule of selling..

Dont let them know your coming!..

Or, maybe he knows exactly waht he is doing and he expects us to pity him.. and we fall for the same old trick because that is exacly waht we are expected to do and we do it!

So we can feel that we do "the right thing".. as Spike Lee would put it.; 2/6/12, 4:49 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I try to think like a liberal so I think like one.; 2/6/12, 4:50 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: The best defence against a liberal is to love the liberal more than he purports to love the whole world.

this, on the face of it, may seem very difficult.. but becasue the liberal like us, lives withing the confines of the fisical world and all the rules that apply.. to love a liberal, conservatively, is not as difficult as it may seem.

it may come down to a strugle between two people that want/desire to be adults.. some times.

My best lvers have been liberals.; 2/6/12, 5:03 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I think I'm a conservative because I know in my brain.. not just my gut.. it is imposible to love the whole world.

I know it is imposible be cause if it wasn't we would not have to fake it.. happy ending would not feel and taste like happy endings.

im thinking and i sometimes i know.. wihing my immediate surrounding.. how and even sujest how things can be better for them for people.. but the slightest resistence discourages me.. i dont know how to encourage people the way i encourage myself.; 2/6/12, 5:20 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: The best example i can give here is.. the music i look up on youtube to link to here.. I have it on my itunes.. i offer it to music lovers like me and i have yet to secure a positive response.. I dont know what it is .. people feel threatened by the offer of a gift.

So now I dont ask.. I just make cds and i give them.. I got a wonderfull response on the phone to an 80s theme i made.. it made my whole week.; 2/6/12, 5:33 AM
edutcher said...: Interesting note from VDH. There's a specific website for blacks who want to support GodZero this fall.

He didn't need it last time.

Maybe those polls showing only 58% of blacks support Zero are for real.

California Girls

This has to be the unlikeliest song never to make it to #1 in the American top 100 Billboard.. ever.

You've obviously never lived in the Midwest.

Especially after having lived on one of the coasts.

PS All Lem, all the time?

You might want to rethink that.; 2/6/12, 5:45 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I made cds off an idea from this very blogg. Songs with womans name on the title.

It will, may.. dont want to make a prediction but if the topic should arise i will pounce and i will try to kiss people while they yet live and not while it is expected.

i dont know.. im glad the professor has allowd me to do this, link to music videos, ever since i started a few years ago.

her ignorant posture has been more than a blessing.; 2/6/12, 5:51 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Notice I said POSTURE.. because if i know anything about the proffesor is that she is not ignorant.. she may not know everything but she keeps up.. and she keeps me up ;)

I love the MeadeHouse.; 2/6/12, 5:57 AM
Toad Trend said...: Yikes!

Its my honor.. and mostly pleasure.; 2/6/12, 6:28 AM

DaveW said...: Well, I called that wrong. I thought the thing with that gal flipping people off wouldn't be that big a scandal. It's the headline story in my newspaper today.; 2/6/12, 7:10 AM
Timeforchange said...: Has anyone seen any ice boats sailing this winter?

I've got a Hobbie Kayak with a 16 foot sail and wish I could somehow sail it in the winter.; 2/6/12, 7:15 AM

Sofa King said...: A lot of buzz about Chrysler's "Halftime in America" ad with Eastwood. Interesting detail - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEM9dodyABo at 51 seconds, talking about "discord and blame" - a shot of the Walker protests? Or is that just my imagination?; 2/6/12, 8:17 AM
shiloh said...: NV Rep turnout down 26%.

mittens = enthusiasm gap. btw, he got 51% (4) years ago ~ 2012 42% ie the mittens name brand doesn't wear well w/conservatives.

Just the facts as the Rep spin machine "tries" to rally round mittens ...; 2/6/12, 8:18 AM

There are medicines for insomnia, you know.; 2/6/12, 8:29 AM
viator said...: Ice fishing and a "A tragedy of Elizabethan proportions"

YouTube

From a great underrated movie "Beautiful Girls" which despite the title is at least as much a movie about guys.

Same movie, more ice fishing...

YouTube; 2/6/12, 8:46 AM
deborah said...: Okay, Althouse, give. What was yesterday's theme?; 2/6/12, 9:58 AM
edutcher said...: What enthusiasm gap can the Demos have when the Catholics, blacks, Hispanics, yoots, and Jews are so alienated by an aloof POTUS who doesn't even want to meet with his own staff?

And, at this point, 4 years ago, the race was still wide open.; 2/6/12, 10:07 AM
Joe Schmoe said...: losing to the Giants is like eating 50 hard-boiled eggs in an hour; 2/6/12, 10:13 AM
shiloh said...: "And, at this point, 4 years ago, the race was still wide open."

Actually, and we're talking about "Reps" edutcher, not Dems, McCain had won winner talk all FL and McCain had basically won Super Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2008, previously getting the Rep hierarchy/establishment totally behind him w/endorsements and was well on his way to being nominated.

As always, your but, but, but Obama deflection is duly noted.; 2/6/12, 10:58 AM
shiloh said...: winner take all

And good luck w/the GOTV mittens campaign, as again, conservatives can only rely on Obama hatred, not mittens enthusiasm.

It's early so keep hope alive ...; 2/6/12, 11:01 AM

jungatheart said...: "Can Lemjacking get a tag here? C'mon!"

No.

But I've often thought it would be nice if Althouse occasionally encouraged music threads where people could post favorite songs...dedications, even.; 2/6/12, 3:42 PM
