Happy Halloween from Dr. BLT

If you feel like giving yourself a migraine, check out the Doc’s latest song, “Scary Kerry.”

It’s one of his better-structured pieces, but even so… well, it’s still Dr. BLT. Here’s a sample of the lyrics:

Scary Kerry’s (unintelligible)
Makes me so afraid
Every time I think about him
Holding a grenade
How much of a warrior?
The country won’t be safe
If he wins election day
And the (unintelligible) screen displays his face.


Yeah, I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about either, but that’s part of the Doc’s charm. Like I said to Gavin recently, Dr. BLT is the kinda guy who could only exist in California:

Is that him? Strewth

 
 

He looks like Jeff Goldblum’s wierder kid brother.

 
 

“Latest” song? About Kerry?!? Maybe he needs to work on that procrastination thing…

Yeah, well, he’s from California, duuuuuude… Based on his picture, he kinda reminds me of Ned Flanders’ beatnik father…

 
 

ok, i’ll bite…

is this guy being serious? i always thought his comments on this blog were supposed to be sarcastic.

please, someone end the suspense!

 
 

Look out Adlai Stevenson, the Doctor is IN!

The Doc? He’s totally serious. In fact, that’s why I like the guy- there just aren’t that many right-wing Christian psychologist singer-songwriters out there. You gotta admire that sort of oddball individuality.

 
 

Tip to Dr. BLT:
Lay off the “special effects.” They’re what’s responsible for a number of the (unintelligible)s in your (unintelligible) music.

Well, I will agree that it’s better structured and not as tortured (for me, as well as the music).

Want to scare the kiddies at Halloween? Play Great Sex (Can Ruin Your Life), nominated by the committee of me as the worst song I have ever heard, besting out the dynamic duo of The Barney Song and I Love You, You Love Me for the title.

It’s like dropping acid while drowning in raw sewage!

 
 

Thank goodness there aren’t a lot of words that rhyme with Dukakis.

 
 

President Bush
Royal pain in the tush
Couldn’t wait for the finish in the old Hindu kush.

 
 

Yeah, it’s like if Jeff Goldblum took a role as the dorkiest pimp ever.

 
 

That dude looks so French!

His dark secret is that bacon in France isn’t really bacon; it’s more of a ham kinda thing like Canadian bacon.

 
 

And I hope to God he doesn’t Photoshop a picture of Kerry with demon eyes on the album cover, cause that would just show how full of hatred he is.

 
 

Hahahahaha…

I’ve never seen a picture of him besides that oversaturated orange-tastic one on his site.

That’s brilliant. Jeff Goldblum does dolemite.

 
 

B – L – T ! Say, savory! My brain is larger than your mammary!!

 
 

don’t forget the dr. has also slept with the dude from cake, jammed with his brother, made his mother cornbread, etc.

oh, and dear mother of god, whatever you do, DON’T listen to his version of “norwegian wood”. my wife almost killed me for playing it when he started singing. i still have the slap marks…

 
 

Kicked out of Oingo Boingo because his outfit was too gay… so sad.

 
 

Yeah, well, he’s from California, duuuuuude…

Hey! Bakersfield isn’t in California; it’s an outpost of fucking Oklahoma.

 
 

I must give credit where credit is due. Like the Beatles once said, “I Get By with a little Help From My Friends.” This is not one of my one-man band creations. These are the Rolling “Scones,” made up of Walter Stormont, who does the haunted voice, shares my fear of a Kerry comeback in ’08, and doubles on percussion; Pat Frase on drums (an unapologetic right-winger who loves left-wingers); Reggie Langendorfer on bass (a unabashed, Bush-bashing liberal immigrant from Germany who turned away some potentially high paying customers at his recording studio when he discovered that the now-high-profile Bakersfield duo’s lyrical content was of the neo-Nazi variety. I won’t give away the name, but let’s just say they left singing the Prussian blues), and, last but not least, my Jewish buddy (one of my best friends), Jerry Rothberg, who plays sax and may have voted for Kerry just a couple of weeks after the song was recorded. What can I say? As the leader of the Rolling Scones, I am an equal opportunity employer. By the way, I’m suggesting Bono/Bono in ’08 as the winning ticket. Of course we all know the political activist rock star who would be my pick for president, but can any of you identify who the other Bono might be?
P.S. Now, about those rumors that if you play Scary Kerry backwards, you’ll hear my voice, in a ghastly tone, saying “I’m really a left-winger and this is all just satire,”— those rumors are unequivocally false.

 
 

aww talkin points

 
 

Oh, good! Some of Dr. BLT’s best friends are Jewish!

And to answer your question, Doc, I would have to say the other Bono would be…

a bonobo monkey?

 
 

I’ll guess Mary Bono. (It’s a random guess, so I don’t really care if I’m wrong or not.)

 
 

If it’s the bonobo, that ticket’s got my vote. I far prefer them to chimps.

 
 

Dan Someone is turning into a troll around this blog – lemme bring this to a head – what is so special about being jewish, Dan? Is your blood redder than mine?

 
 

I’ve voted FOR Kerry 3 times now.

Sing all you like, he’s not going away.

If he wants to be in the Senate for the next 30 years, he will be re-elected

by a 2-1 margin.

repeatedly

 
 

He looks like Jeff Goldblum’s wierder kid brother.

Beat me to it. It’s as though the fly in The Fly was replaced by Huggy Bear, and this is the tragic result.

 
 

Buddy Love would have been emberassed to dress like that.

 
 

If he wants to be in the Senate for the next 30 years, he will be re-elected

by a 2-1 margin.

repeatedly

But what about the fierce challenge expected from Jerome Corsi??!! 😉

 
 

Bingo, Bill. It’s Mary Bono, widow of the late Sonny Bono, an often unfairly ridiculed Republican songwriter and a fine entertainer. Cher rocks in her own right, but Sonny brought out the best in her. Of course, none of these are reasons I would support her in a Bono/Bono ticket in ’08.

 
 

Let me guess.

You ran out of “E’s”.

 
 

BLT, you’d vote for Bono, who is practically a socialist compared to Kerry, but not Kerry himself? I’d love to know how Republican logic works.

 
 

Everyone seems to be thinking in terms of linear, left/right, political logic here, but die wahrheit ist ganz anders, if I may put it that way. The extreme left and extreme right meet, and then cross over, so the overall structure of the thing is like that of a pretzel.

 
 

Good question, initiate debate. I appreciate you living up to your i.d. Nobody has benefited from capitalism like Bono, and, be assured, he knows it and appreciates it. Being kind to the poor and aware of the needs of those less fortunate doesn’t make one a socialist. Would Bono have visited Bush on two occasions about the problem of AIDS in Africa, relieving poor nations of debt, etc., if he thought it was a waste of time, or, if he thought Bush was blind to the human suffering? Would Bush have welcomed him at the White House if he thought Bono was a socialist? I think not. I am for the right and the left identifying and then systematically building upon what they share in common. Bono sees no color, he sees no political barriers, he just sees human need and the need to advocate for those who suffer. I believe that Bono would truly be “a uniter, and not a divider.”

 
 

As for Bono- he’s a single issue guy, in this case. He’ll kiss Bush’s ass if he thought it would help get food and AIDS money into Africa, just like the zealot factions of people who want to eliminate the income tax, or ban/legalize abortion (to use some examples of issues which tend to create zealous adovocacy groups) will fellate any politician (regardless of party) to forward their agenda. The rest of their politics are irrelevent to both parties insomuch, so long as they can say their alliance was only on the one, single issue (like that commercial Bono did with all those super-liberal movie stars… and Pat Robertson).
While (in my opinion) Bono’s cause is a nobler one than the ones I previously mentioned, that doesn’t mean we should associate the politics of one with the other in any way shape or form.
And, when saying “socialist”, what specifically do you mean? Are we talking about “soft socialism”, with some industries and services nationalised (a mixed economy, really), like what we are now, and what most of us here are? Or, are we talking about a harder, command economy, form with all industry and markets controlled by the government (the economic part of communism)- which I believe it is safe to say is not common around here?
I daresay Bono is the former, not the latter (most people are- it’s just a matter the degree).
I, for one, am an advocate of a mixed economy, with an open market protected by regulation and with some vital industry and services either partly or wholly nationalised (post, etc). Moreso than the current US economy, less so than in, say, Chavez’s government.

It’s a fairly complicated question, which is actually rather rhetorical- the answer is irrelevent, but the point needed to be made.

 
 

Everyone seems to be thinking in terms of linear, left/right, political logic here, but die wahrheit ist ganz anders, if I may put it that way. The extreme left and extreme right meet, and then cross over, so the overall structure of the thing is like that of a pretzel.

Hmmm, I’ve always thought of it as a Mobius Strip, myself- where the twisted part is “crazyland”, but I suppose a pretzel works as well. It’s a continuum, really, and one on multiple dimensions- since really, given the nuanced nature of most people’s politics compared to the parties’, you can’t really pidgeonhole a lot of the population into strictly definate catagories. Eh- that’s something for a PoliSci class to discuss. (Though it kind of ties in with my rhetorical- read: don’t answer, please, people- just making a point of thought, not posing a test question for a PoliSci class- to BLT above).

 
 

Rowan: You turn every thread into a referendum on “Zionism” and I’m the troll?

And if you must know, what is special about being Jewish is the Secret Zionist Conspiracy Decoder Rings.

 
 

“the extreme left and the extreme right are the same thing” is a truism i keep hearing with little evidence to back it up. we can talk about the relative dangers of both without pretending that they are the same thing. nazism and stalinism have far more differences than they do commonalities, no matter how similar the propaganda may look to the liberal democratic eye.

 
 

If it’s the bonobo, that ticket’s got my vote. I far prefer them to chimps.

It’s the matriarchal nature of their social order, right? Grrrl power!

Aaahh, who am I kidding? It’s the sex. Those suckers are right sluts.

 
 

Not quite Jeff Goldblum’s little brother per se, but his character New Jersey’s little brother- that would explain the outfit. NO WUN CUMS EEN HERE, especially John Smallberries.

 
 

Marq, why can’t it be both? “Hey, you got Grrrl power in my sluts!” “No, you got your sluts in my Grrrl power!” Truly, two great tastes that go together.

 
 

Bigboo-TAY! TAY! TAY!

 
 

Just like cookies and ass!

 
 

“He looks like Jeff Goldblum’s wierder kid brother.”

Oh, I thought he looked like the Bellingham Hippies (NW Washington State)…I wonder if he has the same smell?

 
 

And if you must know, what is special about being Jewish is the Secret Zionist Conspiracy Decoder Rings.

And here I was thinking it was the gefilte fish.

 
 

Rowan,

except for that making piles of naked people part, and the re-hiring Brownie for 30 MORE days part, and the greedy selfish HumVee driving part.

that’s all thems.

 
 

sorry, hatter, but what is that an answer to?

 
 

It took me a while, staring intently, to figure out what that… that… thing was, in the picture in the article.

How about a Vox/Vox ticket? Bono Vox, to give him his full improper name, and Vox Day, Wingnuttia’s awfullest little Fantasy/Sci-Fi writer and aspiring rocker.

I think the by US standards extreme leftism of Bono (that is to say, mainstream Social Democracy in Europe), would probably more than balance out Vox Days rightist madness, not least because it has some minor basis in reality. But, dude, imagine the songs they could write together.

Weekly Radio Address? Hell, no. Weekly RAWK Concert.

I’ll leave it up to you to come up with possible song titles.

 
 

Check out my new Halloween song, “Halloween with Jim Beam.”
