Geezers Going Down Hard, Larry Kudlow Edition

[Perknose]

The "top economic adviser to the President" Larry Kudlow suffered a heart attack. At least, he's got one, if not in that almost as important metaphorical sense.

It's on Fox News, so you know it's true!

Shit talk Canada and pay the price

Hope the guy's ok

I am willing to bet that is an actual headline from the likes of Alex Jones or someone. Or Ivanka did it, cause, well...

Nobody puts baby in a corner.

 

[HomerJS]

Invoke hell in the midst of a hyperbolic tirade and pay the price.

Karma's a bit of a bitch, ain't it??

 

[Engineer]

I said yesterday that Kudlow sold his soul to Satan in that he preached for 40 years the opposite of what he is now slinging. I guess he couldn't handle it.

'Thoughts and prayers'

 

[Younigue]

Satan lobbing a warning reminding Kudlow that he and only he will decide who comes home to him and when?

No thoughts and prayers, I don't care. Well wishes to his family.

 

[imported_tajmahal]

My prayers go out to him. I hope he fully recovers quickly.

 

[theeedude]

He is getting socialized health care as we speak.

 

[Younigue]

My prayers go out to him. I hope he fully recovers quickly.

Dammit!

 

[soulcougher73]

Dammit!

Dont fret. Thoughts and Prayers dont actually do anything

 

[Commodus]

I wouldn't have wished this on Kudlow and hope he recovers. At the same time, though, it's hard to feel a lot of sympathy for someone who gleefully lies to protect the most incompetent and corrupt administration in American history.

 

[Younigue]

Dont fret. Thoughts and Prayers dont actually do anything

Nah, it's not that. Hadn't seen Tajjy in a while, I was hoping his typing fingers had failed him in some way permanent. *sigh*

*as in they rebelled and wouldn't allow him to type out his bile ever again.

Nice intentional porn title there.

 

[Thebobo]

My prayers go out to him. I hope he fully recovers quickly.

No thoughts?

 

[Bitek]

No thoughts?

Why start?

 

[theeedude]

Why is he in Walter Reed and not a private hospital? Get him out of there, he is not a veteran. Let private sector take care of him.

 

[Thebobo]

In response to the news, Trump said that Kudlow is fired, because "I only employ people who don't have heart attacks."

 

[Perknose]

Nice intentional porn title there.

I am said to have a tongue that just won't quit. It's why I was tipped to star in the sequel, titled in homage to one of the very first "Gonzo Americana" books I ever read:

Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me.

Thomas Pynchon, who was acquainted with Fariña while they attended Cornell University together, later dedicated his book Gravity's Rainbow (1973) to him and described Fariña's novel as "coming on like the Hallelujah Chorus done by 200 kazoo players with perfect pitch... hilarious, chilling, sexy, profound, maniacal, beautiful and outrageous all at the same time," in an introduction to the paperback version of Been Down....

It's coincidental but ultimately no surprise that Gravity's Rainbow may well be my most favorite novel ever.

Any of you jamokes ever hear of the folk duo Richard and Mimi Farina? Well, the author was her husband.

Fariña then traveled to Europe, where he met Mimi Baez, the teenage sister of Joan Baez, in the spring of 1962. Hester divorced Fariña soon thereafter, and Fariña married 17-year-old Mimi in April 1963. Thomas Pynchon was the best man. They moved to a small cabin in Carmel, California, where they composed songs with a guitar and Appalachian dulcimer. They debuted their act as "Richard & Mimi Fariña" at the Big Sur Folk Festival in 1964...

I've never heard of Gravity's Rainbow, sounds interesting. Sad, that (Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me) was his only book (novel) I think, before he died falling off the back of a motorcycle. It was beat era stuff I was looking for at the time ala Jack Kerouac.

Well, I was lying there unconscious, feeling kind of exempt
When the judge said that silence was a sign of contempt

Best . . . novel . . . evah! You have to want it, though. It's about 800 pages long . . . took me about 50 pages of hard slogging to get into it, though. It's kitchen sink and then some, absolutely mad genius . . . includes entire songs and poems by several characters, for instance. One main character's name (there are as many as in your basic Russian novel) is Tyrone Slothrop. It's set (mainly) in England during WWII, and includes secret German rocket forces manned by Herroro tribesmen (a tribe massacred by the krauts circa WW1 times in what was then Deutch Sud West Afrika (sic.)

It's madness, but brilliant madness, I say, 800 or so pages worth. All those pages, and therein, for paragraphs and pages at a time, the prose gets tight and sings like poetry. So f*cking brilliant!

Here's a couple of excerpts I once bookmarked from Google books, or some such:

https://books.google.com/books?id=GGPm4I3BbxAC&pg=PT103&dq="There+must+have+been+evensong+here+long+before+the+news+of+Christ."&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6NCkVN7UGMOagwShoYOICA&ved=0CB8Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q="There must have been evensong here long before the news of Christ."&f=false

https://books.google.com/books?id=GGPm4I3BbxAC&pg=PT104&dq=gravitys+rainbow+whatever+paths+you+have+crossed,+the+way+home&hl=en&sa=X&ei=wc-kVKeWB4yegwTQxoGwCw&ved=0CCEQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=gravitys rainbow whatever paths you have crossed, the way home&f=false

I bought my copy in England, and it traveled with me through a bunch of countries and several continents. It survived nearly getting burned up while I was trying to dry it out by an open fire, after it (and I) had been rained on in Crete.

I like the way that Trump has forced the lefty loon squad to stop pretending to be anything other than toxic balls of purest hate. I can’t tolerate it more than a couple glimpses a month, but damn it’s entertaining on those occasions.

Yeh- Libs are the real racists, too.

He always magically forgets the time he threatened to go to the streets over Jill Stein's seeking a vote re-count.

lol.

I am having trouble understanding how somebody becomes a loon squad member filled with balls of the purest hate because Trump is destroying the rule of law. I'd say they are patriots and you are a traitor. I guess somehow you miss the fact your post reeks of hatred for your own country.
