Roy Zimmerman in Idaho Falls !!

Okay, I centered the picture in the draft but obviously he’s trying to be a little more on the RIGHT in this community!!!

Folks, you might not hit the dance floor to his songs but they’re fantastic lyrics, and that’s what I like.

He is a hard core liberal that’s for sure! (not that theres anything wrong with that) Should be a real enjoyable evening of whining and complaining. Enjoy! Thanks for the link but I’ll stick with Pablo Fransisco.

Would you please point out where I made a comment about a “preconceived notion of who enjoys his kind of humor”? (I couldn’t find that comment) All I said was he’s a “hard core liberal” (which anyone can see that his is and which he admits in his “I’m a liberal” song) with a sidenote of “not that there’s anything wrong with that” with a added for lightheartedness.
Seems your assumption regarding my comment wasn’t very accurate. But that’s ok, I get that alot on this site. I listened to a few of his songs and they did have quite a bit of whining and complaining of the issues he sung about, albeit pretty amusing. Don’t get so defensive, it was just a comment of how I perceived his act. I’m sure those that attend will have a great time. Have a happy day!

I’m okay with liking different types of humor, it’s natural to have different tastes.

I’m sure Guest of a Guest will be attending Pablo Francisco’s event at the Civic this Friday, and will laugh long and deeply.

Just as I plan to do at Roy Zimmerman’s event.

Maybe after getting our funny bones tickled, we’ll both lighten up a bit!

Oh I saw it, no problem there!

Well, it’s not above my paygrade. I watched Zimmerman’s Youtube stuff. He is loony like Dennis Kuchinich type of liberal. I love the criminality that idahoagie points out. I guess anyone that puts poor little Roy down will get theirs from the liberals on this site. Too bad criticism hurts, it should, your boy, Roy, is out to lunch.

Roy has played for the Republican National Convention before, and will play for them again this year. The Republicans (at least the national Republicans) think he’s entertaining, and they don’t think he’s out.to.lunch.

The sock puppets on this site don’t think much of his kind of entertainment. Maybe they aren’t affiliated with a political party anyway, so stuff that appeals to Democrats or Republicans might not appeal to them.

That’s okay. Since they won’t be going, there will be extra room for others to attend, who do appreciate his music.

Hey, Bundy #12…probably above all our paygrades to be commenting on this site for most subjects, but you notice it doesn’t stop us!

As someone who reads and appreciates the Cato Institute articles, I doubt that much of anything is above your paygrade…

I think if the “liberals” open their mouths it’s considered picking on someone. As Nemesis said, it’s a good time for all and RZ has been invited by both parties. If you choose not to attend, that’s cool too.

comment #12 was pure genius, Bundy. I had to look up the phrase “above my paygrade” to find out that it was used as an evasion of an abortion question by Obama.

Too funny!!! I can’t wait to use that line myself.

It strikes me as just wordy name calling, Idahogie. Is that all they got, uttering “liberal” like its a bad thing? I mean, I hope they got something better than, “Ouch, that hurts” this election cycle. Let me know when they want to discuss politics and I’ll grab Binky and come “right” over.

I haven’t participated because this conversation is “above my paygrade” . . . tee hee . . . I can and will only formulate opinions on big issues when I am paid to do so!!!!

Nemesis, loved your comment (don’t remember which post) about the smileys. . . . :0 very on point, as usual. . . .

okay, Hoagie, I’ll wade in a bit: what did Obama mean by that “pay grade” comment, if, as you imply, it wasn’t meant to evade a serious question about his inconsistent voting record on abortion issues (ie his vote regarding the Illinois “child born alive” bill vs. the same federal bill) ? What, exactly, did he mean?.

I am interested to know what “everyone else” knows he meant. He didn’t really explain himself very well in follow-up.

Funny Idahogie! Wasn’t that question asked in reference to the beginning of the sacred life of a fetus, for abortion issues?

And since it’s such a hotbutton issue, involving people’s faith and science, I personally think his answer was funny and inspired…folks who mock it do so because they have their own personal beliefs about this issue (so of course they think they “KNOW” the answer) and they think Obama dodged it. It was a question loaded for bear and Obama was the grizzly in its sights…

This is another one of those issues where it doesn’t matter what the hard science is, people have their personal faith and they disregard the scientific evidence or go so far as to demonize those who persist in not believing their way. Kind of like the radical islamists do, eh? But the radical christians never see that they are acting the same way, and have their own holy war waging.

But Obama wasn’t interested in stepping in that bear trap, and his answer was great.

What a touching moment between liberals. I’m feeling a little pheklempt! Talk amongst yourselves.
Ok, I’m back.
I, like Anonymous, am still waiting for one of you to point out which poster said being liberal was a bad thing or that it was a bad word. Or is it safe to assume it was just another BOP alert that “you guys” use so frequently?
And for the newcomers, BOP stands for “Blow Out of Porportion”. You will find this acronym is used (or should be used) quite frequently around here.

Idahogie, so are you admitting nobody here actually said that being liberal was a bad thing or it was a bad word. You’re just going by what “conservatives” in general have concluded over a 30 year period. That’s rich! You continue to make assumptions that all conservatives are alike. I don’t think that’s fair to make a BOP generalized statement like that. Especially when nobody here said being liberal was a bad thing. But then, that’s the “woe is me” attitude of your garden variety liberal. You’re the one making such a big deal over the “pay grade” comment when it was meant to be a joke. Relax and stop taking everything to heart. Seems to me you’re the only one who continues to be outraged over such trivial comments. let it go already!

Idaho Native! You had the better of me, I wish I could have met you. (Or known that I was meeting you!)

I also enjoyed that show immensely, but due to some severe pain (I traveled back home from Boise yesterday to get to the show) I had to go home afterwards, and I missed the after-party at the Snake Bite. He played my favorite song there…”Jerry Falwell’s God”. (Link to YouTube of this is in the post).

I am sure he will be a hit at both conventions, as he was before.

maybe Roy Zimmerman could write a song about “honest Joe Biden”, Obama’s new running mate; Roy could include these fun facts:

“Then in September 1987, the campaign ran into serious trouble when [Biden] was accused of plagiarizing a speech by Neil Kinnock, then-leader of the British Labour Party.[25] . . . . Within days, it was also discovered that, while at Syracuse Law School, Biden had plagiarized a law review article in a class paper he wrote. Biden said the act was inadvertent due to his not knowing the proper rules of citation, and Biden was permitted to retake the course after receiving a grade of F in the course. Biden also released at the same time the record of his grades as an undergraduate which were C’s and D’s with the exception of two A’s in physical education, one B in a course on English writers and an F in ROTC during his first three semesters.[27] His grades improved later in his undergraduate career but were not exceptional.[27] Further, when questioned by a New Hampshire resident about his grades in law school Biden had claimed falsely to have graduated in the “top half” of his class, (when he actually graduated 76th in a class of 85) that he had attended on a full scholarship, and had received three degrees.[28] In fact he had received a single B.A. in history and political science and a half scholarship based on financial need.[28]

Faced with these revelations, Biden withdrew from the nomination race on September 23, 1987

from the Wikipedia article entitled “Joe Biden”. . . .. . . .

what a breath of fresh, honest air for the DNC. . .

Hey Housemonkey, since you opened the door with your fun facts about Biden, it’s only fair that we take a look at the McCain under the same microscopic lens. Perhaps RZ could also write a song about McCain and call out a few of the following “fun facts” about the presumptive Republican nominee:

- Although he grew up Episcopalean and claimed to be Episcopalean for many years, suddenly — in September 2007, while campaining in South Carolina (a heavily Baptist state) — he declared himself a Baptist! So much for disavowing political pandering on the “straight talk express!” (The Associated Press, September 12, 2007)

- Remember the Keating 5? Though he was not convicted of anything, McCain was one of 5 congressmen investigated on ethics charges for strenuously helping convicted racketeer Charles Keating after he gave them large campaign contributions and vacation trips. Specifically, McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating after Keating gave McCain approximately $112,00 in contributions. Senator McCain made at least 9 trips on Keating’s airplanes (in the mid-1980s), and 3 of those were to Keating’s luxurious retreat in the Bahamas. McCain’s wife and father-in-law also were the largest investors (at $350,000) in a Keating shopping center; the Phoenix New Times called it a “sweetheart deal.”

- McCain has had his share of “family problems.” He has a reputation as a politician who has difficulty keeping his pants zipped. He acknowledges that his adultery broke up his first marriage (Wikipedia). His second wife Cindy, the daughter of a wealthy Budweiser beer distributor, was addicted to prescription narcotics and even stole hard drugs from a medical charity that she ran (Phoenix New Times, September 8, 1994 ). McCain acknowledges that she didn’t want him to run.

- He’s plain scary to some of his fellow Replubicans. Senator Thad Cochran (Missouri), who has know McCain for over 3 decades is fearful of how McCain will behave if elected. “The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine,” Cochran said about McCain by phone. “He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me.”

There’s more, but I think I’ll stop now.
