Where’s the Robot?
May 9, 2011 | Author robot
Sorry so quiet. Been busy at work during the day and at the studio at night working on a new project. This one is shaping up to be pretty intensive so blogging will likely be lite for the foreseeable future.
Hang in there. I’ll be back before you know it.
Here. Have a little Fleetwood Mac to tide you over.

Government Cheese

A couple of Automotivators inspired by the Wisconsin public employees union protests.
Photos thanks to Ann Althouse here and here.
Around the blogosphere:
The Trog has a question about the happenings.
R.S. McCain has a list of employee salaries and wonders on a Cheesehead Revolution.
General Belvedere has a few choice words as well.
Also, my favorite frugal female has found the Wanted Poster of the Day Week Month.
Update: Chris hands the hypocrites their walking papers.
American Perspective found the Dem’s a hidey-hole.
Jesse Jackson: “Someone threw a protest and didn’t invite me?”
Shamus sez: ‘Edumicashun = Indoctrinashun’
and,
speaking of Spellchek…
Now, since it’s Friday, how about some music to fit the theme of this post?

I Heart Sarah
February 16, 2011 | Author robot
Belated Valentine’s Day greetings to my female blogging friends.
Here’s a little Heart for you. <3
First up, we’ll keep with the All Sarah-cuda February theme. (You had to know that was coming, right?):
Next, another one of all time Heart faves:
Hope you ladies had a great Valentine’s Day.
I’ll try to be a little more punctual with the gifts next year. 
Cheers!
Robot Unchained
February 8, 2011 | Author robot
Yea! I finally issued phase one of the behemoth project for comments today. If they decide to make any changes on design principles, they’re going to have an unruly robot to deal with, let me tell ya, especially after I tried to include them in the process and was brushed off. Grrrrrr.
Oh well, such is life. Today, I’m unchained…
Hu’s Your Daddy!
January 20, 2011 | Author robot
Continuing the mantra of “I never met a communist I didn’t like,” the Obama’s welcomed Chinese Dictator Hu Jintau to the White-house with open arms and a formal dinner this week while his Democrat cronies prattled on about China’s currency policies and paid token lip service the country’s human rights violations, all the while warning China that “If they don’t straighten up, we’re going to use some really tough language, Little Mister.”
Note to our comrades in Congress: have you looked in the collective mirror lately? Anyone noticed that China holds the majority of US debt to the tune of $1 trillion? Threatening China with tariffs at this point would be akin to telling your loan shark to take a flying leap off the nearest skyscraper, with equally horrifying and predictable results. Cement shoes, anyone? Stop with the useless posturing and set your own finances in order before you start telling others to balance their checkbooks.
Personally, I think the biggest points scored for the Obama’s were by Michelle with a tie-dyed flaming red and orange something-or-other that must have been retro-fitted from a set of movie theater drapes, which was overly dramatic and so, fit the occasion perfectly, in her own obtuse way. Hu knows? Maybe the drapes in question will be returned to said cinema and enshrined after the occasion.
I also wonder if they re-gifted those Chairman Mao tree ornaments, or if the dinner plates were leaded with Mao’s likeness. Yum!
On a related note, a classic rock band has weighed in on the situation:
Heh, sorry. Couldn’t resist.
Here’s another relevant one:

Well, as close to here as I can be and not actually be here. This is a drive by post, really.
Work has been kicking my butt lately so I’m obviously not posting as much. I am however working on updating the US Timeline page in my spare time and yesterday added some new entries mentioned in an outstanding post over at Fuzzy Logic. I’m also working to add a few more later this evening or tomorrow. The rueful thing is, there are ever more additions to make to the list. 
Meanwhile, my friend Steve sent me some musical pron that I just have to share. Some Rule 5 in the form of Meytal Cohen.
This chick rocks! Check it out:
What is Rule 5 you ask?
The Other McCain’s Sunday roundup offers a pretty broad example.
As does The Pirate’s Cove
and The Daley Gator
Catch you on the flip side.

Musical Rule 5: Fiona Apple – Across the Universe
December 16, 2010 | Author robot
Do those guys ransacking the diner remind you of our Congress?
Does Fiona bring to mind someone trying hard to ignore the destruction of our constitution?
Does Fiona meet with The Other McCain’s or Wombat’s *ahem* strict Rule 5 specifications?
Patience, grasshopper. Sunday awaits.

Never met a communist he didn’t like:
Obama finds kindred spirit?
“I am glad to meet an Indian communist. I am told that communists have been part of the (Indian) political mainstream,” Obama told CPM Politburo member Sitaram Yechury at the Rashtrapati Bhawan banquet as they were introduced and both shook hands.
He might just as well have said “fellow communist.”

And while Obummer is yucking it up with his new found commie friends and Bernanke is devaluing the dollar, the World Bank president lobbies for a global currency system:
“The world needs a new global currency-setting system”, – World Bank President Robert Zoellick has stated in Singapore.

Featured Blog: American Power
November 8, 2010 | Author robot
Somewhere on America’s left coast, behind the lines, stands one of the last bastions of hope for Conservative principles in California. A refuge for lovers of liberty who find themselves stuck in a beautiful landscape that hypnotizes all but the strong minded, luring them into a deadly world of Socialist thought that sucks the pride of self reliance from their minds and clouds it with the promise of unearned entitlements. That Fortress of Freedom is the blog American Power, and the luminary of that site is Professor Donald Douglas.
I’m often amazed at the tenacity required to produce the volume of quality articles and insightful commentary published by Prof. Douglas. Articles that are surely produced from an unquenchable love of America’s founding principles and a fire that grows brighter and stronger when fueled by the inane and asinine arguments of the liberal and socialistic pseudo-elites we battle today.
Professor Douglas, I’m certainly thankful you can withstand what must be a daily onslaught of leftist dogma evidenced in California these last couple of decades. Thank you for fighting against it with reason, truth and humor.
We need battalions of such educators in our schools to teach the truth of American exceptionalism.
Whatever you think of him, these facts are undeniable; the man behind American Power Blog is a tireless defender of freedom, of the virtues of liberty and a true American patriot. Which is why I’ve chosen American Power as the Robot’s latest Featured Blog.
Like your humble robot, Prof. Douglas is a music lover as well and possesses a diverse taste that spans the spectrum from punk rock to rap and hip-hop to pop and classic rock. I’ve found several new bands from visits to American Power and been reminded of some I’d forgotten.
I must also admit to sharing his affinity for Gods most favored creatures. We need a break from the punditry every now and then and the lovely ladies featured on his site rival those to be found anywhere, be it here on this site, or the glitzy runways of New York.
Be sure to bookmark and blogroll American Power.
Follow him on Facebook
… on Twitter
… at Pajamas Media
… at FrontPage Magazine
… at Right Wing News
… at Theo Spark’s… and at NewsReal Blog.
Jeez, the guy is everywhere! Maybe that’s why he is fortunate enough to hang out with like minded freedom fighters like Pamela Geller.
Whatever it is you’re doing, Sir. Keep on keepin’ on. You’ve definitely got an admirer in this Texas robot.
Cheers!

Friday Nite Frolic

World Party made some great music back in the day. Saw them live in Austin once. Outstanding show.
While we’re waxing nostalgic. Here’s the opening act from that show. Jellyfish. Anyone remember these guys?
Since I love their music so much. One more.
LeAnn Rimes & Joss Stone Get Funky
October 29, 2010 | Author robot
The robot is in a funky mood today. Funk in a good, R & B kind-of way. Time to dig on some LeAnn Rimes & Joss Stone from CMT Crossroads. This is the full show. It will play the first song (which kicks butt, BTW). If you want the rest, you’ll have to install the Veoh player. I did. Nothing bad happened.
Oh, this could be considered a Rule 5 post as these two are definitely hot.
What say you, Smitty?
What is Rule 5 you ask? See here for excellent examples.

Friday Jam – David Lindley & El Rayo-X
October 22, 2010 | Author robot
A favorite of mine for ump-teen bazillion years, David Lindley is a musician’s musician. If it has strings on it, this guy can play it.
Have a great Friday night, folks!
Here’s a studio cut my band used to perform back in the stone-age.
And BTW, I’ve added a link to Bob’s excellent post of a day or so ago “Rush Sounds The Clarion Call” to the Prime page on this blog. It is most worthy of your attention.
If you know any lilly-livered Republicans who are raising the “I’ll work with Obama” flag, you might just pass that link along to them.
Repeal Obamacare!
Prosecute those in Congress that broke the law passing it!
No compromise!
No surrender!

Quick Notes and Random Thoughts
October 9, 2010 | Author robot
Some random thoughts before I commence on the weekend duties:
I see that Joel Demos won the TBF poll this week. I’ll be donating to his campaign shortly.
From Joel’s website:
I cannot sit still while our country goes down a road that has proven to lead to financial ruin. For my children and yours, my family has decided to embark on this journey to help restore some sanity to Washington.
Thanks to Right Klik for running the Ten Buck Fridays poll and Conscientiously Conservative for coming up with the original concept. Great work both of you and the over 80 bloggers who participate. Speaking of CC, I just looked and realized, she’s not on my blogroll! DOH!
Wait a second while I correct that omission.
While I’m on the subject of blogroll, There are a couple of additions you may be interested in: Holding the Line in Texas, and Fleece Me, who was kind enough to link to the Socia.list page.
We’re down to the last few weeks of the campaign season. Is it just me or do any of you feel a bit burned out from all of the politics? I know I am. Not being a career political junkie or reporter, this season has got to be the most focused I’ve ever been on politics. It wears on a robot. I need a good lube job. And a shot of rum. How do the politicians do it? Are they all on coke?
After the election, I’m going to form a new band or at least join one. I’m feeling the urge to beat on some skins and stretch out the vocal chords. I’ve definitely got some frustration that needs venting. Not sure how much of those happenings I’ll post on this blog though, as some people are more interested in politics than music and I like my political anonymity. I may have to start another, just to separate the two. Or maybe another page on this one. It’s up in the air for now. We’ll see.
For the rest of the weekend, posting may be lite. My freaking DSL is on the fritz again. Come this Tuesday, that problem will hopefully be solved. The ‘bot is going to cable. Buh-Bye ATT with your dropped service every 5 minutes and a ten minute post taking an hour to complete. Also, my house needs cleaning and the studio needs some maintenance. Bottom line is, it’s just too pretty outside to spend dealing with an off and on internet connection, so there you have it.
Speaking of music, here’s one of my faves from the Doobies:
Enjoy your weekend, my friends.

Time for a Robot to rethink his head cover and eye wear choices.
Found at View From The Porch thanks to A trainwreck in Maxwell.
———————————————————————————-
Also, for no particular reason, here’s a Boudreaux joke from the inbox:
Boudreaux suddenly quit drinking, took a bath, quit chasing women, quit his poker games and stopped laying around. He started cutting the grass around the church, even painted it and was faithful to be first to attend on Sundays!
Father Thibodeaux asked him what about dis wonderful change that had done overtook him.
Boudreaux explained, “I heard “Crisis in the Gulf” and if He’s dat close, I wanna to be good to go!
[Amen, Boudreaux. ~bot]
