You’re so very welcome!

So you’re saying the doctors who will be performing the mandatory gay abortions will be wearing more stylish headgear?

God, I haven’t seen Fear of a Black Hat in, like, 10 years. But I remember it being fucking hilarious.

I, for one, welcome my hat wearing nigga overlords.

White people, you are so toast.

Well, maybe that’s better than being put in a Macrowave™.

Also, before Michael Moore was Michael Moore (when he was still just a semi-famous documentarian of the plight of the working class and not a walking-talking bete noire of the lunatic right-wing fringe) he had a short-lived documentary-style show and I remember Rusty Cundieff being one of the correspondents. Which was the last time anyone saw Rusty Cundieff alive. So, for all you Bill O’Reilly fans out there, the equation would be:

Michael Moore
In the Green Room
With his gaping maw

You’re welcome

Uh, dood, isn’t that Shania law?

“Where is your wallet ?!”

The only post-“Spinal Tap” mockumentary that always makes me laugh. Larry Scott in particular is hilarious.

A lot of white commentators seem to think that Obama is Mos Def’s character in Bamboozled, when he is actually more likely to be the guy played by Damon Wayans. Well, that’s not true. Pierre Delacroix is more like Alan Keyes, if Alan Keyes had a conscience.

Please, please baby Jesus, let John McCain choose Alan Keyes for his running mate! I never ask for shit and you know it!

Jennifer said,

What Jennifer said. If you Sadly, No! overlords are going to subject us to Booger St. Saul James parody blather (i.e. by not banning him), at least give us our Shania law.

A lot of white commentators seem to think that Obama is Mos Def’s character in Bamboozled, when he is actually more likely to be the guy played by Damon Wayans.

Well, that’s hardly fair.

I think Barack Obama is Barack Obama. I think the right-wing blowhards want to desperately believe Obama is the guy from Blak is Blak, and we’re allowed to have fun with that idea, because we know how completely out of whack that perception is with who Obama actually is.

Shit, I wish Obama was Pierre Delacroix, because then Paul Mooney would be his father.

Well, that’s hardly fair.

I know its not and I took it back. The sad part will be watching Obama slowly get worn down by it all. Right now its like when you are walking to the train and a homeless guy shouts something crazy at you and you just smile and keep on walking. The problem is, if he wins, this will only get worse. Every damned thing he does will be microscopically examined through the “first black president” lens. Black commentators will be brought onto Fox News to denounce him. He will have to either ignore issues affecting black people completely (which would be its own kind of bias) or he will be accused of being biased. Everyone will be waiting breathlessly for his “Sista Souljah” moment.

I have every hope that he will do a great job, that America will be a better place for it, and looking back it will all seem silly and childish. But if he doesn’t age twenty years in the next four, he really is superman.

I gotta admit it. I’ve never even HEARD of Fear of Black Hats.

Of course, I’m not really that close to Hippity Hop culture.

I saw Patkin’s reference and the only thing I could think of was the book “Drugstore Cowboy” (how many of you kids get THAT reference?).

I will now have to check it out, even though I’ll likely not get most of the jokes.

As soon as you get off my lawn, you may carry on…

Why can’t we all be happy for once, and simply enjoy watching wingnut heads from David Brooks to Pat Buchanan explode like a glorious 4th of July crescendo on Inaugeration Day, 2009?

Why can’t we all be happy for once, and simply enjoy watching wingnut heads from David Brooks to Pat Buchanan explode

Hey, that will be fun. Maybe they will even have a big suicide pact party or launch a hilariously inept coup attempt wearing confederate uniforms.

I feel better already.

Don’t feel bad, mikey. I’m an even bigger geek. I heard “Fear of a Black Hat” and confused it with The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sachs.

I’m gonna have to rent this movie.

This is the kind of Manchurian candidate I can get behind. I want Obama to drop all this “articulate” nonsense and just get as black as all hell.

After he’s safely in the White House, of course.

Me: Hah!

Gary and the rest of the scaredy-white-folk Hearltand would freak right the hell out and NEVER come out from under their beds again.

I’m gonna have to rent this movie.

Damn skippy, Jennifer. And don’t worry about not getting all the jokes. You’ll get enough of them.

“Are these guns registered with the state?”

“State o’ seige… heh heh…”

This is the kind of Manchurian candidate I can get behind. I want Obama to drop all this “articulate” nonsense and just get as black as all hell.

After he’s safely in the White House, of course.

I’m picturing him rapping his State of the Union address while wearing lots of bling.

Mikey & Jennifer, you’ll love it. It definitely rewards a knowledge of late 80s-early 90s hip-hop but it’s not super-insidey. Worth it for the explanation of the group’s name alone.

It’s like if CB4 was a comedy.

Harsh, dude.

I want Obama to drop all this “articulate” nonsense and just get as black as all hell.

It would be even funnier if he played a different stereotype each speech, just to confuse people. You know, Jamaican, ghetto thug, Radical Black Poet, pimp dandy, Ali G – gosh, there are so many to choose from.

I’m picturing him rapping his State of the Union address while wearing lots of bling.

You’re not the only one, but the tighty-righties think that’s a bad thing.

I want Obama to drop all this “articulate” nonsense and just get as black as all hell.

OMG wait, does that mean Michelle has to be one of those hos from the booty videos? Because… I don’t know, I don’t think she would do it. Unless she could be Mary J and give her own speech.

Damn skippy Tastey Taste is the Secretary of State… the State of Siege.

I want Obama to drop all this “articulate” nonsense and just get as black as all hell.

Hasn’t there already been some Very Serious Discussion on the Totally-So-Not-Racist rightie blogs about just how black Obama really is?

If so, have they unearthed words like “quadroon” yet?

I saw Patkin’s reference and the only thing I could think of was the book “Drugstore Cowboy” (how many of you kids get THAT reference?).

Both films do involve, um… pharmaceutical distributors.

You’ll dig it. If memory serves, the opening line is “Yo-yo-yo it’s the Bush is a dickhead tour!” See it before that joke becomes irrelevant (again, it was referring to the 1st one).

he had a short-lived documentary-style show and I remember Rusty Cundieff being one of the correspondents.

Yeah–he did that one bit about Mississippi just getting around to officially outlawing slavery in the 1990s where he bought a bunch of white slaves on the day before the outlawing took effect. Pretty funny.

I can recite damn near all of FoaBH. Loved it.

“This is Yo Highness…I ain’t even gonna fuck with that.”

When I see a particularly gimmicky artist of any sort, I can’t help but bust out with “…he gonna knock Kris Kross out the box cuz he gonna be upside down!”

I knew there was a reason I liked the folks here at Sadly No, and watching you all pay props to one of my favorite movies is like the cherry on top. It was a great day when it was released on DVD.

Bling and video hos? Please. America is used to that crap. I’d like to see the Obamas spit revolution rap like Boots Riley and Pam the Funkstress of the Coup. Reichtards would never leave the house again.

Or else, get the P-funk!

Parliament Funk

fast forward 1:00 for the serious shit, or else just enjoy the sax solo.

I saw Patkin’s reference and the only thing I could think of was the book “Drugstore Cowboy” (how many of you kids get THAT reference?).

No, no NO!

I never saw the movie, but in James Fogle’s book, Bob was very superstitious and his greatest fear was for anyone to toss their hat on the bed.

Hat on the bed.

See, in the end, Bob’s hat ends up on the bed and he dies right there. Shot fulla holes…

“The Hat, the hat”… he says.

The cops think “The Hat” is a dood, but its not, it’s just the hat.

Man, that’s some great stuff..

mikey

Nothing more foolish than a man chasing his hat.

Hippity Hop culture.

Ha!

Ha, I say!

I never saw the movie, but in James Fogle’s book, Bob was very superstitious and his greatest fear was for anyone to toss their hat on the bed.

Ditto for the movie, which really is wonderful, and by far the best thing Matt Dillon ever did. Kelly Lynch is wonderful too. Check it out.

The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sachs
For what it’s worth, that’s also available as a movie.
Well, to be completely accurate, it’s a made-for-TV adaptation of the chamber opera by Michael Nyman, based on Sachs’ case study.

Why yes, I do have the CD.

Hey, I’ve got a bunch of Michael Nyman and I’m reading Musicophilia ever so slowly. Also:

My latest trout just died pedantically and with all the passive crap going on in this life a buxom iron trout story would make my year. I don’t know how he got stuck in that coke bottle.

Heya Tom! What’s the rumpus?

And that’s one of my favourite movies. If only my latest polarbear hadn’t just died smoothly and with all the bizarre garbage going on here an exuberant polarbear story would make my week. I miss Ababa so much…

Dr. P:
I see a river
And a little guest house.
It has a terrace
By the water.
People are dining out
Shaded beneath their parasols.
It’s heavenly.
But there are clouds…
Calm before the storm.
Form is emptiness,
Emptiness form.

Mrs P:
Nothing much the matter.

Dr. P:
Is that then?
Session finished?
We thank you
And await diagnosis.
Where’s my hat?

Smut, I love Nyman, but had no idea he’d done anything with Sachs’ book (also one of my faves). Probably because I haven’t even considered looking at anything that requires spending money, being as I’ve been woefully unemployed (sob, choke).

I’M SICK A’ THE HIGH HAT!

Youse fancy pants, all a youse.

I expect a lot of Putney Swope clips to see the light of day before the November 4.

I expect a lot of Putney Swope clips to see the light of day before the November 4.

Double-bill it with “Watermelon Man”.

“Putney says the Borman Six Girl is got-to-have-soul!”

No, no NO!

I never saw the movie, but in James Fogle’s book, Bob was very superstitious and his greatest fear was for anyone to toss their hat on the bed.

That’s in the movie too, I was just making a joke from one of FoaBH’s jokes.

“Tone was slinging bean pies, because he was hooked up in that Muslim shit. And Tasty was slinging…”

“I was a, um… pharmaceutical distributor.”

“We shouldn’t be talking about that, you know what I’m saying? Maybe you can edit that out.”

Oh, man.

Oh, man! Not that I need to hit play, or even could if I were at work.

Fear of a Black Hat truly represents the apogee of American culture and the high point of cinema.

Someone please confirm whether this scene includes the watershed phrase: “All we’re trying to say now is, we got hats now, ma’ fuckas!”

That is indeed the scene I chose to share.

Brad,

You have made my Friday.

“You still seeing that doctor about yo nerves, right?”

Man,

Man, I better hit that little red ‘X’ up at the top, lest I spend the rest of the business day quoting FoaBH.

“Because that wouldn’t be the def, chill, fresh thing to do. We cool with this, brothers?”

The movie sounds interesting, guys. I’ll look for it.

Me, I’m a Chris Rock fan. I’m looking for the Nat X sketches on youtube.com (I might just have to buy the SNL DVDs). And yes, Paul Mooney is a genius. Some of Richard Pryor’s best stuff came from Paul.

“The man will give lames-ass Rick Dees 30 minutes!”

Lame-ass Rick Dees.
Spell check is my friend.

CLASSIC movie. My favorite line, with real wisdom:

Q: What’s the difference between a ho and a bitch?

A: A ho is a woman who’ll fuck anyone. And a bitch is a woman who’ll fuck anyone *but you*.

Now I need to go back just to see Tone Def talking about his Angry Shoe.

Y’all want to see the Rethugs’ heads go splodey, you really want Obama to talk just like one of them. The conflict in their tiny minds between an actual black man who speaks clearly and their prejudices and low expectations is just going to be too much to handle.

And I, for one, am tickled pink. Irish pink, if you must know.

Ice frog,
Froggy Frog.

The Frog

I have every hope that he will do a great job, that America will be a better place for it, and looking back it will all seem silly and childish. But if he doesn’t age twenty years in the next four, he really is superman.

Well, he does have the endorsement.

I’m picturing him rapping his State of the Union address while wearing lots of bling.

Word.

Michael Nyman also scored an opera based on the book “The Commissar Vanishes,” about retouching of photos in the Soviet Union to erase purged or executed party members from history.

Aren’t their heads already exploding? Derb’s column is one of the fragments. This is what it looks like when their heads explode. Of which there will be plenty more, yes.

My problem is, I read these excerpts Brad so courageously brings us, and I get *angry.* I get all “this is outrageous! Someone should make these people admit to their lying and insanity and everything!”

Why? This is what they are and this is what they do. There will always be a segment of the population that reads them and believes and agrees, but what else is new?

The thing to fret over (I have to keep reminding myself) is not that the Derbyshires and Coulters of the world exist. It’s when they and their followers acquire power. Like with the NAZIS.

MrWonderful,

The thing to fret over (I have to keep reminding myself) is not that the Derbyshires and Coulters of the world exist. It’s when they and their followers acquire power. Like with the NAZIS.

No need to fret, we already know.

The last 15 years is what happens when the Derbyshires and Coulters acquire power. From Whitewater to the Clinton impeachment (when those duplicitous fuckers were doing exactly the same thing, see Gingrich, Newt) to the selection and annointment of Bush the Lesser and the subsequent series of disasters, all of it was the result of these asshats getting into power.

It’s going to take years to sort out the mess and some of the damage is permanent.

Oops, sorry, getting all serious again. Haha, Coulter has an adam’s apple!

“P – political; U – unrest; S – stabilizes; S – society; Y – yea.”

“No.”

“YEA!”

Stalin really coulda used some Photoshop.

“if you even predisposed to smiling, you better hit that shit doggy style, and make sure there are no mirros around.”

It is funny watching all you godless liberals laugh about B. HUSSEIN Obama, but in that you don’t know the Lord, you have no idea what that vile Mohammedian sodomite has in store for you, since he is undoubtedly the Anti-Christ of Revelations 13.

You’re going to be surprised.

Praise Jesus!

So, that means you’re voting for him, right? Or are you working against the will of God?

HAHA, follow BroBob’s link, you’ll see he can’t even hold a handsaw right.

That looks like a picture ripped directly from the Sears & Roebuck catalog, circa 1977. I’m guessing BroBob is yet another parody troll.

But nice touch getting all those “friends” in MySpace. Almost convincing, except that nothing in your page predates Feb 15. Talk about “young earth.”

So, that means you’re voting for him, right? Or are you working against the will of God?

No, we the righteous – the saints of Revelations – have to resist the rise of the Beast, though we are destined to lose, but then rise again and rule with Jesus for a thousand years: Revelations 20:4-6

Read the Bible and believe and all is revealed.

Your blind heathen soul will be in my prayers.

Praise the Lord!

Oh, so you’re going to vote for the man given to anger, the hot-tempered adulterer, known to be a man of lies and corruption?

“Oh, so you’re going to vote for the man given to anger, the hot-tempered adulterer, known to be a man of lies and corruption?”

I assume you mean that heretic McAmnesty? No, I won’t vote for him either, I’ll be voting for the only Godly candidate running, Donald J. Grundmann on the Constitution Party ticket.

We know we won’t win against the Anti-Christ – B. HUSSEIN Obama – but no man can, or should, resist the will of God. The rise of the Beast will bring about the tribulations that will ultimately result in the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Praise Jesus!

“Lover of the lamb?”

Is he sure he wants to use that term?

Hold on a second. Did Brother Buzz here just declare his own sainthood?

Doesn’t that pretty much cover MOST of Teh Seven Deadly Sins™?

mikey

Read the Bible Zippy the Pinhead and believe and all is revealed.

Fixed!

mikey

I’m sorry but the Beast already rose. Jesus said to tell you “better luck next time.”

The Holy Scripture talks of types of godless sinners and heretics here as well:

2 Timothy 3:1-4: “3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; …”

I see your evil and pity you all, for if you humble yourselves the Lord may forgive you, but otherwise:

Revlations 21:8 “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”

Pray for forgiveness sinners!

Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”

I love Nyman, but had no idea he’d done anything with Sachs’ book (also one of my faves).”
His operatic treatment of Tourette’s Syndrome still seems to be a work in progress. I am not making this up.
On the prehensile tail other hand, “Facing Goya” is rather good, and I intend to start quoting the libretto next time J– plays one-up-manship by linking to Goya etchings.

Y’know, Bob, buddy, that whole fire n brimstone pupit pounding intimidation trip only works with people who believe your silly just so stories in the first place.

So you’re wasting your time in a futile attempt to scare us by threatening us with a fairy tale. You oughta be embarassed, a grown man believing these little girl and a pony stories.

You’ll have more success threatening the denizens of this board that Batman or Bad Spidey is going to kick their asses in public.

With me? Buffy. You tell me Buffy’s coming, I’ll straighten up my ditty bag right NOW!

mikey

Yeah, you don’t mess with a hot chick with superpowers.

huuuhhhh, excuse me, question over here! What does all of this has to do with Mr. Obama? I thought the REAL black candidate already dropped out:

Sorry “mikey” the AV 1611 King James Bible is the perfect and infallible word of God and applies to you whether you like it or not.

Proverbs 13:13 “Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed…”

But the world is full of fools and sinners and I’ve done my part – told you the truth – so, the rest is in the hands of the Lord:

Psalm 58:10-11 “The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.”

Matthew 7
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

Proverbs 13:13 “Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed…”

Sorry, “Brother Bob”, but just because some power tripping medieval bureaucrat with delusions of getting all the men to work on his behalf and all the babes to screw him made up a scary being to threaten the superstitious peons around him and wrote it down, don’t make it so.

I hear there’s some doods in Delhi, in Najaf, in Athens and in the Three Palace Sanctuaries who all believe the same thing about THEIR book.

Gee, wonder how that can be.

See? You and I are really close to the same belief structure. We both don’t believe in any of those gods, books or stories. Hell, babe, you only believe in ONE more god than me! You could get all the way to independent enlightenment with a little effort.

In the meantime? Shove your big scary god up your ass…

mikey

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Actually, you might ought to reread that whole chapter.

BROTHER BOB MADE U A TROLL

…BUT HE ATED IT.

Don grundman is no man of God. He is a man of sin. He bashes gays, but really wishes to partake in their life. I was with him for 4 years, he now denies me and our life. SINNER
