Saw him in Davis in the 80's, and again in Humboldt around 2000. Always good.

Jesus Fucking Christ...he was convicted by judges of violating a legal judicial order and the constitution...not by Obama of being an old white guy. You drank more Trump coolaid, but this cup has made you thoroughly un-American.

Is that really what you call the best sheriff...someone who unapologetically violates the law and constitution at every turn, who abuses not only the convicted (still evil and illegal, btw) but also the merely accused in a jail he himself bragged was a concentration camp. That's how he treats American citizens who've not been convicted of a thing....and it's how he deserves to spend the remainder of his life.

If I held you (or your daughter) in a 145 deg tent, feeding you rotten balogne, offering no medical treatment while hoping you die of heat stroke, you would call me a terrorist, but because Joe violated mostly Hispanics (not even Mexicans, mostly legal Hispanic Americans) you call him the best sheriff...and you still tell yourself you aren't racist.

He cost his county well over $140 million in settlements for his victims, with hundreds of millions more in the courts still being litigated. The number of deaths in his jail are exponentially higher than the norm, with most going uninvestigated and fewer (none) being prosecuted (they just pay off the family a few million taxpayer dollars and move on to the next victim).

You really have to be shoving you head even farther up your own ass to even give Arpaio and Trump the benefit of a doubt at this point...he's gleefully admitted all his crimes as if they aren't illegal, and Trump made him right, violating the constitution and thumbing your nose at the court orders is perfectly fine in Trump's America, so long as you support him.

Jesus Fucknig Christ, bob. Next you'll be supporting Trump's pardon of Sheik Muhammad and other Daesh fighters...who were also the victims of an "Obama witch hunt".

You claimed to hate Obama because you've been convinced by drug addled blowhards (Limbaugh, Jones) that he subverted our rule of law to fit his agenda...yet here you are cheerleading Trump and Arpaio uncontrovertibly doing exactly that. Just because you agree with this particular agenda (subverting the constitution to forcefully eject illegal immigrants of one specific nationality) doesn't change the act you claim to hate, subversion of our constitution, laws, and government.

When I become a rich Oil Sheik, I too will build a glorious city with one huge building in the shape of a giant cock such as to shout to the Gods : "MINE... IS... BIGGER!!"

Yeah, everyone is poor except a few rulers and their cronies, so there is "less income inequality."

How do you read that map you sent?

China is highly regulated, yet there is a lot of inequality, having the second largest number of billionaires, and millions of dirt-poor people. Does this map equate to percentages?

North Korea, on the other hand, is as highly regulated as it gets, yet they have very few billionaires, so, in this case yes, most people are equally poor, and close to starving (or are otherwise dead).

My initial post wasn't clear, in that, rather than seeking "equality," a higher standard of living seems preferable.

(Is this about envy or about having food on the table?)

Socialism promotes equality: "it's only virtue is equal misery for all" (with the exception of the rulers, of course)

Saudi Arabia is quite regulated, you can't buy alcohol and women must wear veils, yet the income disparities between the sheiks and the average workers is quite considerable.

Perhaps you'd like to elaborate and explain that unreadable map to me, so I can comment.

Edit: Oh, I see: According to this CIA map, there is apparently more "inequality" in the U.S. than there is in India. And a lot more in South Africa (but I didn't know South Africa was a land of no regulations, whatever that means). And Greece apparently has considerably lower inequality (so what are they all complaining about?!) And supposedly there is no data about communist countries like Cuba and places like Saudi Arabia (why is that?). Mongolia and Canada have about the same level of inequality. I'm still trying to decipher the purpose that this map serves...

If you wanna see about 45 minutes of Bruce Bickford's schizophrenic claymation interspersed with some great concert footage of the Sheik Yerbouti tour (Terry Bozio/Adrian Belew) , check out Zappa's film, "Baby Snakes."

It was time to retire 'The Sheik' ,to the great utility muffin research kitchen in the sky.

Ole Putin is a good old boy, right?

putin has as much to do with RT as kalid sheik mohammed has to do with al jazeera or obama with msnbc.
/facepalm....

look up agent provocateur and then look up how many instances that tactic has been used by law enforcement in the USA alone.
notice anything?

see? information is your friend.

You do know that this is a commerical and that man is an actor, correct?

And even if "this idiot" were real, condoms fail.

I hope to hell that idiot used them. Every time.

It's NSFW because screaming about condoms and sex is inappropriate in the average workplace.>> ^xxovercastxx:

Don't see any reason why this is NSFW either.

wow. I actually remember that too. And that haircut and those clothes. Yikes.


Still better than the decade before and the decade after.

Not many bands could play as tight as any of Zappa's bands. He was a perfectionist. A true genius. His autobiography is well worth reading, great stuff. The sheik yerbouti cover is one his best pictures.

BabySnakes is my poker account name on Poker Stars. Love me some Sheik Yerbouti!

Get down with your bad self, with some Zappa.

Sheik Yerbouti Baby!
