If someone today STILL self-identifies as republican, you have to ask yourself WHY? To get in on the grift before it's too late? Because they have the minimum complement of brain cells? That they somehow think the party still has credibility? Vote 'em all out; it's the only way. Easiest ballot ever.

Imagine being imprisoned for jaywalking. OK, gas prices, but don't forget that we now have concentration camps filled with the hardest-working people in America. And maybe a few criminals. Remember, being undocumented in America is still only a misdemeanor. Now imagine being tortured for jaywalking.

We've been Fattening other stages for almost three months, but we're back two Mondays in a row, celebrating our ten year anniversary at the casino. We'll have the "Fat Shot Horns" with us for both Mondays, as saxman Keith Stone joins Mark Kelly, our angel of the woodwinds. Free Labor Day brat-dogs!

This Sunday, we'll crank it ALL the way up ... exactly one decibel below the legal limit. If anybody asks. It was a whole thing.

"... fed officials admit that $7.5B reduction in clean energy funding based solely on whether states had voted for Kamala Harris. In contrast, the administration funded grants for states that had backed trump, though the Energy Department had recommended they be cancelled." - Heather Cox Richardson

OK, I know it should be "satirize" ... but it usually sounds funnier when you noun the verb.

He's stupid, mistakes are compounding, his future is short. Wants to run out the clock. Doesn't care if he leaves a smoking crater surrounding the fortified doomsday bunker/assisted living facility that he's building just as fast as he can. Maybe not fast enough. America is just collateral damage.

Drunk uncle Nancy sees "transgenic mice," ignores the spelling, rails on about transgender mice. All the drunks at the bar began to sing along. Maybe look it up? Transgenics alters genomes, not genders; arguably worse, but a common technique used on mice in research labs to test drug effectiveness

We don't have a video wall at the Rockfish tonight in Anacortes, 7:30-10, and it's way past tulip season. But what the hey ... this video-wall image #19 is a field at Tulip Town entitled "popcorn." Which you had to eat a whole lot of, if you were patiently watching the front of the Kennedy Center.

We had great fun at the Old Edison on Saturday, and at the Anacortes Waterfront festival on Sunday. Next stop on the tour ... right down the road a piece at the Rockfish Grill, Saturday June 13 7:30pm in Anacortes.

No matter where you put them, they are going to accelerate global warming exponentially. 10,000 new data centers are expected by 2030. If built, the one in Utah is expected to raise local temperatures by 28 degrees at night, transforming a semi-arid climate into a desert.

Sorry, I'll remember to use that honorific. If only we could export, deport, or defenestrate "the biggest fool to ever hit the bigtime." Which is putting it mildly. Apologies to Ringo.

Of course, nobody voted for any of those things. It's the same as saying "GOP women voted for their kids to be raped by billionaires." Which is absurd. They actually voted for EVERYONE to get raped by billionaires. >rimshot<

Or if somebody (Ray-gun) hadn't granted immediate citizenship to Australian racist Rupert Murdoch, and allowed faux to get away with calling itself "entertainment" while delivering propaganda pretending to be news. 30 of those low-IQ talking-head sycophants are now the Lyin' Donnie administration.

Mark Kelly (no not THAT one) is our own "angel of the woodwinds," but he doesn't do social media, so I thought I'd repost this tribute on his behalf. If you're not a jazzoid, Sonny Rollins played on the Rolling Stones' "Waiting on a Friend," the last song on their Tattoo You album.

I've played this series many times with Mary Ellen Lykins and the the CC Adams Band, who have been opening the season for a few years now. The Fat Fridays were booked for the first time this year. We just lose a gig, but this was every Sunday for three months. That's a huge loss for the community.
