What is OZY Fest? According to GQ, it's "the Sizzling Hot Festival for Folks Who Love Coachella and Neoliberalism":
This image was putting the free world on notice. A revolution was coming in the form of a two-day festival in Central Park called OZY Fest. Maybe you saw it and the subsequent and relentless owns and sick burns it spawned, gleefully doled out by people simply seeking to understand what the fuck they were looking at. Imagine a cut-rate Coachella lineup poster headlined by a few heavy-hitters of the outdoor all-ages summertime circuit, acts like Passion Pit, Young the Giant, Grouplove, Common, and record-scratch freeze-frame Hi, you’re probably wondering how I got here Hillary Clinton!... In short, the poster promised a weird hot Dada mess of Hillary’s Shadow Government throwing a party at the park. How could this not just be some extremely gentle ribbing perpetuated by one of those Weird Left Twitter rascals, having a go at #TheResistance libs and their not-so-secret desire to make any public event into a TED Talk entitled “Hey! I’m Being Civil Here!”

The Wizard of Oz has her stage set again. It is show time.
...and the best way to deal with that is to vote in November.
I'm gonna.
CringeFest.
Jake Tapper?
That's kind of a Stefon freak show. This club has everything!
I thought Coachella was a fake food made from soybeans, but google tells me it's a place for Billaries -
Sexual Harassment Was Rampant at Coachella 2018
I interviewed 54 women at Coachella 2018, and they had all experienced sexual harassment at the festival.
Coachella, Oasis For Douchebags and Trust Fund Babies, Should Be ...
Dana Bash?
they had all experienced sexual harassment at the festival.
'That's why they went.
...somehow we are not sure where our President stands... and the best way to deal with that is to vote in November.
and voting in congressional elections will help us deal with it how?
It will somehow make us sure where he stands?
It will make it less disturbing?
It will make it not be our President?
ps.
Did Hillary REALLY not capitalize President?
Did NPR REALLY not capitalize President?
Jemele Hill TWICE
Jerry Lewis is dead, and look what happened to his Telethon.
Pinker's really slumming these days.
Son't be a fuckhead and vote for a Democrat.
Salman Rushdie was included in that "star"-studded lineup?
Leet me save you the trip--
Hillary Clinton is the wizard bullshit-artist behind the curtain.
And Hillary Clinton will never be President of the United States.
A-Rod? Dude, you're keeping worse company than juicers these days...
As always, wonder what she was paid to speak.
Coachella = Palm Springs&etc.
Golf, and lesbians.
It's like Woodstock for the modern-day Incel crowd.
Coachella is where I used to hunt quail.
Now the promoters make lots of money and boys and girls do 21st century mating rituals.
i'm Sorry; but how the HELL do you call something Ozyfest; and NOT invite Ozzy Osbourne?
That would be a LOT like taking someone's unicorn farting image, using for an Icon on your "car's operating system" and then not paying him and saying i was promoting him
You’d have to pay me $10,000 and put me up at The Four Seasons to get me to attend that event.
Surprised you didn't have a pic of madame Hillary.
It's like someone said to her "those were some pretty ugly outfits during the campaign."
And she said "you think those were ugly? Hold my booze a second.

John Henry
David,
You sound cheap. Maybe they'll have you on the stage next year.
You think Crooked Hillary would appear for only $10m?
John Henry
Other than Hillary Clinton, I have no idea who these people are.
I also don't know, or care, what "Coachella and Neoliberalism" are. I thought Coachella was a little dirt town in the south San Fernando Valley.
gilbar to Hillary:
"...somehow we are not sure where our President stands... and the best way to deal with that is to vote in November."
and voting in congressional elections will help us deal with it how?
It will somehow make us sure where he stands?
It will make it less disturbing?
It will make it not be our President?
No kidding. What the hell does that sentence even mean?
I assume she wants to say, "It's disturbing that we don't know where our president stands". What possible function do "the idea" or "somehow" serve there?
Where's Chuck with his indignant analysis of a politician's barely literate bullshit speechifying when we need him?
The gq piece is actually a devastating takedown.
Hmm, I didn't research into Ozy Fest. Here's is my impression from the name:
Ozy ->
Ozymandias ->
"Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
It works for me.
The Revolution is coming!
And it's revolting.
Honestly, when I saw the poster I thought it was a gag, like the guest list of the World's Worst Cocktail Party.
and voting in congressional elections will help us deal with it how?
Impeachment
Maybe Hillary will do a poetry recital set to a Joan Baez folk song, whereby she recites the "causes" of her smashing political defeat in 2016.
That'd be a trip, Man.
I agree that idea is disturbing, because the President is pretty clear where he stands and has kept his campaign promises to the best of his ability.
Impeachment doesn't change who the President is: Only CONVICTION could do that.
And That means that 67 Senators have to vote to Convict.
and voting this fall will make that happen, how?
Removing Trump would still leave millions of Deplorables in place, unless there's some plan to deal with them.
If Sam Beam, Iron and Wine, is not singing I am bored.
The best weapon Republicans have is Hillary. They should pay for her and Bill to speak more and more. I want to see Trey Gowdy take down Mueller. Mueller is a pussy, effemante, doing everything behind closed doors. Gowdy is the man of integrity and intelligence. Someone needs to look in Mueller's eyes and call him a passive aggresive pussy, a sissy.
A festival for people who think they are geeks, but likely couldn't hold down a STEM job.
Removing Trump would still leave millions of Deplorables in place, unless there's some plan to deal with them.
Step one: tattoo some numbers on our wrists
Step two: take away our guns
Step three: re-education camps/gulags
One almost feels sorry for the junior Senator from host-state New York. Two rows ans several font sizes below Michelle Wolf?
Looks like Hillary showed up in a hospital gown.
THE Mark Sanford!?!?!
OMFG! I am so fucking in!
Mark Sanford? I guess he's still feeling salty after his last campaign.

I hope to God it's not open in the back
What's the over/under on when Mark Sanford switches his party affiliation?
"This idea that somehow we are not sure where our own president stands is deeply disturbing, and the best way to deal with that is to vote in November."
I'm pretty sure he mostly stands in the White House. Unlike Hill. I'm sure where she stands: not in the WH. Thanks, Hill!
Ann if you are reading, you guide me into film appreciation, pointing the finger the other day at Apu. I wondered if you watched the Netflix series Peaky Blinders. I found it startling, binge watching. Cillian Murphy. What a performance, especially considering 'Breakfast on Pluto'. Something about Tommy Shelby reminds me of Gowdy. That is an extreme compliment. Nick Cave is all over the sountrack and everything he touches is authentic.
"You think Crooked Hillary would appear for only $10m?"
The problem that the Clintons were having is that with both of them out of politics, no one was willing to pay them big bucks to just show up and maybe give a short, canned, speech. Which, pretty much everyone with at least room temperature IQs knew, was just pretty naked influence buying. After her election loss, their value as speakers crashed, with little new influence to sell, and a lot oversold in the past (people buying advantage with the new Clinton Administration that never happened). Interestingly, their value as speakers seems to be recovering, which probably either means that she is running again, or letting people think that she is running again. Which is really the big question - is she really running, despite the likelihood that she gets crushed this time, combined with likely worse health, or are they asking noises about running just to drive up their value as speakers? I think that I remember their Clinton Foundation now taking "donations" again.
Maybe that was a long way of saying that the Clintons are probably smart enough to know that they may need to prime the pump, to get the money spigot really flowing again, so there is the possibility that she was working for less here, maybe even just to be named first on the posters.
Prog comic punchline Mark Sanford now a member in good standing of the Resistance... Trump debris swept up by the democrat party dirlewangers. Good riddance to a smirking jerk. Abandoned on the Appalachian trail, he's found a new home with like-minded narcissists and sociopaths.
According to the website for the event, their goal was "Bridging the partisan divide. Whether your Twitter handle sports #resist or #MAGA, you’re welcome at OZY Fest." Then it goes on to talk about a bunch of Democrats and liberals. It does mention two people who were to represent the conservative side, Karl Rove and Grover Norquist. I wonder why Rove wasn't on the poster.
I may not know exactly where Trump stands but it is crystal clear to me where Hillary Clinton and the great majority of Democratic pols stand, so I guess I have to, with some anxiety, stick with Trump until someone better comes along.
"I'm pretty sure he mostly stands in the White House. Unlike Hill. I'm sure where she stands: not in the WH. Thanks, Hill!"
You are presupposing that she is standing in the first place. I would frankly expect her to actually be either sitting or even lying down (or being otherwise in a recumbent state, since "lying down" implies agency, which may not cover falling down drunk) much of the time. Even a couple years ago, she was having problems standing up and walking. Remember all those times during the election campaign, when her handlers actually had to physically pick her up and throw her in her Scooby van? Seems to still be happening. The big thing a couple months ago was the speculation about the back brace, or some such, that she was wearing. That was, supposedly, maybe, why she was wearing those scarves and heavy clothes in the summer.
She wore a hideous blue tent. It did look exactly like a hospital gown. For whom does Hillary dress? Certainly not for men. I hope not for other women.
Jake Tapper?
Bob got there first....read the comments first dummy
Did she mention all the money she made in secret Russian deals? or her Private SErver for Clinton Cash?
Maybe Antifa will protest this event, as being a bourgeois expression of capitalist exploitation or something like that.
They should also pen with a Jimi-Hendrix rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, where everyone can kneel and hold hands together.
I couldn't find an explanation of the name on the website. Wikipedia tells me - it's an event run by OZY Magazine, a magazine started by former MSNBC news anchor Carlos Watson. The festival was sued by Ozzy Osbourne's Ozzfest over the name.
I still don't know what "OZY" is supposed to mean, although if you drop each letter down one, you get NYX, which I think would be a more fitting name.
"You are presupposing that she is standing in the first place."
Ah, sure, apologies. I wasn't "thinking."
But then, if she can't stand, can she run?
"For whom does Hillary dress? Certainly not for men. I hope not for other women."
Perhaps she dresses for manly women?
More ooze than Oz. I've heard of Malcolm Gladwell and actually read some of his books. The others are obscure to unsavory. More people in London protested against Salman Rushdie than against President Trump. At the demonstrations they were actively calling for Salman's death. There would be quite a lot of Venn overlap between the two protest groups, although Rushdie was probably not in the former group.
Hillary-Stroke 2020.
"This idea that somehow we are not sure where our own president stands is deeply disturbing...." - H.Clinton.
She should have said that six years ago.
Leftists have more time on their hands to protest and throw hissy fits.
"Hillary Clinton is the wizard bullshit-artist behind the curtain.
And Hillary Clinton will never be President of the United States."
First statement: Hillary has accomplished nothing and will never accomplish anything. She is no wizard, in appearance or reality.
Second statement: Completely agree. That is unless the MSM/DNC can manufacture a crisis of monumental proportions, bigger than the one that put Obama in office.
She was mau mau-ing us with her moo moo when she spoke. Yes, Hillary I will vote in November, but with our jungle primary in California I'm left with a choice of two Democrats for most offices in the election. It's coming down to an electoral choice between dim and demented.
“Perhaps she dresses for manly women?”
I think she dresses for orderlies. She makes lies out of order.
Ladies, steer clear of the mosh pit if you see Bill in there.
"But then, if she can't stand, can she run?"
Waddle maybe? And she does have those big burley assistants of some sort who are always there, right next to her, in case she crashes. So maybe think of it as her handlers hauling her around, and propping her up, whenever she is needed to speak.
"former MSNBC news anchor Carlos Watson."
Wikip. also says that Watson managed the 1992 (Bill) Clinton campaign in Dade county, as well as some other state-level campaigns, and ran a short-lived website called The Stimulist in 2009. So, yet another politico-journalistic hermaphrodite.
A bit OT, but somewhat relevant whenever Crooked Hillary is mentioned. Yesterday, a heavily redacted copy of one of the Carter Page FISA warrant applications dropped. Or, maybe, an attempt was made to bury it. And, yes, it is almost entirely based on the Steele Dossier, and was independently validated by at one Steele sourced news stories. The rest of the support for the FISA warrant appears to have come from other DNC and Clinton campaign sourced media reports. Interestingly, the investigation seems to have started in 3/16 by DNI Clapper (and not 7/16, as advertised). and, this "spy" (Carter Page) was working as an IBM informant up until that month (3/16). And the actual predicate seems to have come from the State Dept (except that the State Dept has repeatedly denied that they have any relevant correspondence or information). That would implicate the Misfyp/Downer/Halper crew. Andy McCarthy claims embarrassment, from having told everyone for months that the DoJ and FBI would never actually include the raw unverified Steele Dossier in a FISA application. But they did - he described the FISA application as just stapling the district court header to the Dossier
Traditionally, I think that a lot of her dress was to cover up her cankles, which were, apparently, supposedly, a result of complications from her one full term pregnancy. That is supposedly where the pants suits came from. But she now, most likely, has some serious medical issues and those need to be covered up. I noted earlier the buzz about her wearing a back brace of some sort several months ago. The photos seem to show the outlines of such sticking up a bit behind her shoulders - and hence the scarves to hide the outline. No doubt, there are probably other health issues being covered up too. Incontinence and the line might get her out of her pants suits into tent dresses. Etc.
If the House can impeach Trump, they can further hobble his administration even if there is no conviction.
Look at all the wonderful things that went on with Clinton's impeachment. (Was it really worth it?)
Hedley Lamarr: Performers?
OZYfest Organizer: Jemele Hill, murder, arson and Jemele Hill.
Hedley Lamarr: You said Jemele Hill twice.
OZYfest Organizer: I like Jemele Hill.
Taggart: [Chuckles] He'll do.
Judging from Bruce Hayden's analysis of Hillary's various ailments and her attempts to cover them, I'd say it's time for her to go public and don an exoskeleton like the one Sigourney Weaver wore in an "Alien" sequel.
Imagine her clomping onto the stage in one, and announcing, "I am Hillary Prime".
Ozyfest: Pay no attention to that woman dressed up in a curtain.
I came to find, from looking at the OZY poster, that I have been conflating Malcolm Gladwell and Steven Pinker. They look a lot alike, with their clean-shaven elfin faces and mop of curly hair. While reminding myself of what they look like for this comment, I stumbled across an amazing thing about Gladwell: He is seriously fast. He ran a sub 5:00 mile when he was over 50! Thanks internet!
Pukefest
Lozzyfest
in addition to where she stands, it's where she falls down that's also concerning
People who spend their free time at shithead political fests like this really need to get a life.
I cannot imagine being so wrapped up in partisan politics that I'd actually choose to go to something like this.
Get a fucking hobby. Go fishing. Do something with your lives.
My favorite line, "What was it like to be left off Noah's Ark?"
Well, except for the swimming, probably pretty peaceful.
Lotta Crazy on that train.
I was hoping Hil would stage dive.
New abortion jokes by Wolf?
Grover Norwuist is on the same partisan side as Hillary Clinton? Explains a LOT, that does.
I suspected that CQ was using the word "neoliberal" as a term of derision & I was right.
I think Althouse is a troll on her own blog. She puts up these seemingly serious blogs knowing the kind of comments she is going to get.

Sometimes Althouse throws a little chum in the water to see what bites.
I am surprised Althouse did not critique Hill's Oxy fashion choices (what's underneath The Tent?) and Lauren Powell Jobs look (what's with The Hair?).
But the Jobs/Clinton combo suggests Hill may be running. A few Apple billions will go a long way.
Incontinence = shitting all the time and all over. Good to know Hillary limitations.
If Hillary said "our president" ... Her belated concession speech??!!
Hillary 2020 .... Would she rather go up against Trump or Pence or what if it's Dem speaker of the House
Coachella?
Isn't that what happens in the unfortunate event that your chocolate/hazelnut spread spills all over the inside of your designer handbag?
"Neoliberalism"? Is that a new thing, or the Same Old Statism? The only times I've seen the term "neoliberalism" in the past is when used by European socialists. Apparently in Europe the term "liberal" is still used in its original sense of meaning "pro-freedom." The socialists I read who used the term "neoliberal" were using it pejoratively, as in "wanting to return to the pro-freedom philosophy of John Locke and Adam Smith"--anathema to current State-shtuppers. Is this kind of neoliberalism they mean? Kind of doubt it.
