Alcast #9:  “Brother Al Barger Rebukes the Sinful American Voter, 2012″  11-13-2012  In our near future, I’m seeing terrible plagues, including rivers of blood generated by Obama’s pals in the Muslim Brotherhood, the frogs will still be arrogant even as they abandon France to the Muslims, the dust will turn to lice.  There’ll be swarms of flies, the cattle will die, boils will infect even the pharoh’s magicians on the federal reserve board…

Albert Barger for Franklin County Indiana School Board 2012

October 1st, 2012

Dear Franklin County, Indiana Friends and Neighbors-

Hello. I’m Albert Barger, and I’m running for Franklin County School Board in District 1, which includes Posey, Laurel, Salt Creek and Metamora townships. I hope to give you a little idea of my background and what I might bring to the school board.

I went to kindergarten in the basement of the Methodist church in Laurel and graduated from Laurel High School in 1981 before eventually getting a BS from Ball State. My most important schooling, though, was when I learned writing and math and reading skills in first grade at Andersonville with Miss Jesse.

First grade was in a little shed building, but they kept it reasonably warm and we had chalkboards, desks and books. We didn’t have any kind of cafeteria, but they managed to keep a cooler with milk to go with our lunches from home. Neither building had indoor plumbing though, so we had an outhouse with a corrugated tin roof. Yet somehow we learned writing and math. Why, none of us kids even had a social worker! How did we do it?

Of course, the secret weapon was Miss Jesse. She was patient and attentive and she loved us. She loved me – and never more than the couple of times she had to whip my young butt. She took the bother and the responsibility of discipline. She passed suddenly in 1969, may God bless and protect her soul.

According to the annual financial report, it appears that the least paid first year teacher with a BS degree now makes about $35K in basic salary, which isn’t half bad for Franklin County – especially with a third of the staff making $60K+. So it’s good to see that our teachers are reasonably compensated.

But we spend something like $24 million in Franklin County on schools, which is near to $10,000 per year per pupil. That’s a lot of danged money. Taxpayers aren’t made out of money. Unlike the federal government, the local school board can’t just print money. It would be illegal and immoral for us to do that.

I say this noting that Franklin County schools are in debt for about $9.6 million. I’d sure like to see what I could find to cut in $24 million towards paying that off. The whole world is drowning in a sea of debt, and it would be good to get at least this little corner out of the red – and quit wasting money on the constant financing of debt. We’d end up having more money to spend on students with the same money coming in if we weren’t continually financing debt.

Thus, Al the Knife would be a hawk looking for what we need to put students in front of teachers in well equipped classrooms – and little else. On the school board, just starting with the biggest vendor budget item, I’ll be wanting to bore down into the $2.9 million a year paid to Anthem Insurance. I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with that, because there are obviously major legitimate insurance requirements. But that’s over $1000 per student. What’s all that for, exactly, and are we getting the best deal we can get? I’d just like a courtesy policy review. Where can we squeeze out a dime towards getting out of debt?

I won’t promise you the moon. It’ll take at least a year to figure out the processes, prerogatives and exact authorities of the school board. But I will be a fresh set of eyes, eager to show stewardship for the school system that taught me the three R’s and brought me Miss Jesse.

We can’t let a school bus carry all the burdens of our society when there are problems at home, but I’ll do my best to ensure that the students get what they need at school, that our Miss Jesses gets taken care of, and that we do this as frugally as possible so that we can live within our means.

Alcast #6: “Rented Mexicans”

July 30th, 2012

Alcast #6:  “Rented Mexicans”  7-30-2012  In which Lonesome Al unpacks more of his white Christian narrative of American exceptionalism, according to which, if simply breathing while Mexican is against the law, then the law is an ass.  And so is anyone who gets up on their moral high-horse about it.  You should try to treat your Mexicans at least as good as you treat your livestock.  It’s the decent Christian thing to do.

Occupy Connersville, Indiana!!!

April 30th, 2012

Oh no! Looks like some radicals are going crazy for May Day tomorrow, May 1, 2012.

Oh Lordy, the Occupy radicals has come to Connersville, Indiana! Dads, lock up you daughters! Farmers, lock up your goats!

This is a real official Movement, because they have a page on Facebook and everything. It’s very frightening!

Here’s their manifesto:

OCCUPY CONNERSVILLE!
MANIFESTO #1:
We, the 99% of living and therefore entitled downtrodden people need and demand that the wealthy 1% who own and control everything in Connersville, Indiana and The World pay their fair share and supply our wants and needs.

We specifically demand that the legislatures repeal the vicious Laws of Supply and Demand that have for too long oppressed us poor folk from having everything we want. We desperately need an Anti-Dog-Eat-Dog Law.

In the place of these vicious market laws, we specifically demand that a minimum wage of $100 per hour be established as law. Those who cannot find gainful employment either because they lack highly valuable skills or because they lack motivation to suffer the psychic oppression of employment should nonetheless thus get our $4G a week in direct payment from the government. This will of course be paid for by a surcharge on the wealthiest 1%, because they can obviously afford it. Pay up and hold on to your hat, Mr. Moneybags. You can run, but you can’t hide from Justice!

Next we must address the deplorable conditions under which we are forced to stage our protests. We can’t very well Occupy Connersville by sleeping on the courthouse lawn with 20 degree temperatures and an inch of ice. We therefore demand that the government immediately begin delivering the Global Warming that Vice-President Gore has promised for decades now. In the meantime, the city should pay for hotel rooms that we can use to fulfill our First Amendment right to protest the government. It’s our FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT, m’kay? Can we have some respect for the US Constitution here?

Also, we should all get free weed. It’s not fair that we have to pay exorbitant black market prices for marijuana. It’s only against the law because Patty Hearst was trying to keep the Black Panthers from taking over the paper making business. It’s on the internet. Look it up. How many of us living at home could quit our crappy jobs if we didn’t have to pay for simple weed? It should be considered a right, part of our right to food and shelter. We should all have a right to free weed. At a minimum, we should be able to buy weed with food stamps. It’d be more nutritious than a lot of the junk food bought with food stamps now.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we demand that the plutocrat moneybags resurrect Jerry Garcia from the dead so that the un-Dead Jerry can resume his irreplaceable role as spiritual leader of the people – in short, the awesomest guitar player ever. We then need the Grateful Dead to play for our protest, which Jerry would surely be grateful to do for having been rescued from damnation’s cellar. We are not interested in the plutocrat’s protestations about what is and is not “possible”. If they wish to avoid The People’s Wrath, they shouldn’t deny this, The People’s greatest wish. Also, they should bring back Hendrix and Jim Morrison – oh, and Che! That would be awesome.

We’ll come up with more stuff we want later.

Down with America! Destroy capitalism! Rage against the machine! Vote Obama 2012 – or else!

JOIN OUR OCCUPATION!

Alcast #2: “Suffer the Children”

April 20th, 2012

Alcast #2: “Suffer the Children” 4-20-2012 A glorious audio rant in which Lonesome Al makes the little children suffer, just like Jesus said, and like a demented Frankensteinian Julia Childs he shares cooking tips for girl soup and the roasting of little boys. Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum!

Alcast #1: “Newt Gingrich for President Manifesto”

April 1st, 2012

I’m mad as hell, but I’ve got little choice but to keep right on taking it, cuz what are you really going to do? Well, if you’re Lonesome Al Barger, you start explaining your mad in glorious mp3 audio for the enlightenment or maybe at least the minor amusement of crazy rightwing nutjobs all over.

Alcast #1: “Newt Gingrich for President Manifesto” 4-1-2012 In this initial Alcast, a self-proclaimed “angry white male” explains why you should support Newt Gingrich for President, cause America deserves President Newt Gingrich

Is Lonesome Al a rightwing psycho, a sheep in wolf’s clothing, an epistemological guerilla, or do they just need to up his meds? You be the judge.

New CD Album Releases, 7-19-2011: They Might Be Giants, Ricky Skaggs

July 25th, 2011

They Might Be GiantsThere’s a very good new album out this week from They Might Be Giants. Join Us shows basic skills in hook making and pop tune manufacturing undiminished after 25 years of making albums. This won’t likely make you forget Flood or No! That is to say that there’s no song here with quite the transcendent soul of “Birdhouse in Your Soul” or “Lazyhead and Sleepybones”. But there’s no denying the basic pop songwriting skills of the Johns.

This has perhaps an even higher than average TMBG batting average of memorable songs. I was a little disappointed on the first listening, but the hooks started kicking in on that second listen. That’s generally a sign of an album that will stick with me. Soon I was walking the streets singing “Can’t Keep Johnny Down” and waiting for the reluctant singing raindrop in “Cloissone”. My favorite at this point is “The Lady and the Tiger” for the sake of the horn parts (whether they’re real or keyboard horns). This is one of the catchier songs they’ve ever written, which is saying something. I’m also somewhat haunted by the image of the narrator smothering his older, wiser self with a pillow in “2082.”

Looking forward to…

New CD Album Releases, 7-12-2011: Levon Helm, Blake Shelton,

July 12th, 2011

The bestest looking thing in the pile is a collection of old Levon Helms recordings, Take Me to the River 1978-1982. Among other groovy things, this has his recording of the Al Green classic title song and “Money.”

Brian McKnight has a new album Just Me. It has a CD of new songs, and a bonus live album. That part sounds more interesting to me from what I’ve heard, including some gospel piano playing and talk about his early musical learning. Plus, he sounds pretty good singing Van Morrison’s “Crazy Love.”

Herman Cain vs the Muslim Fifth Column and Their Useful Idiots

June 29th, 2011

Herman Cain, running for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, is skeptical and suspicious of the loyalty of Muslims to our country and our constitutional system of governance. Imagine that. In March of 2011, Cain told a reporter that as president he would not appoint a Muslim as a cabinet officer or federal judge.

Naturally, Cain’s “bigotry” was treated to gasps of disdain and contempt from the Islamist organization CAIR and their useful idiots in the left wing blogs and the mainstream press. Think Progress grilled him on this point about whether he would appoint Muslims, and he said

No, I will not, and here’s why. There is this creeping attempt, there is this attempt to gradually ease Sharia law and the Muslim faith into our government. It does not belong in our government. This is what happened in Europe. And little by little, to try and be politically correct, they made this little change, they made this little change. And now they’ve got a social problem that they don’t know what to do with hardly.

I was asked, ‘What is the role of Islam in America?’ I thought it was an odd question. I said, ‘The role of Islam in America is for those that believe in Islam to practice it and leave us alone. Just like Christianity. We have a First Amendment. And I get upset when the Muslims in this country – some of them – try to force their Sharia law onto the rest of us.

This is absolutely not religious bigotry on the part of Herman Cain against someone’s personal beliefs, but a question of loyalty to the US constitution and laws. As truth is an absolute defense in American law against charges of libel or slander, so should it be against charges of bigotry or prejudice. In fact, Muslims across the world have been a Fifth Column attempting to force recognition of Sharia law anywhere and everywhere possible.

Pressed on the issue, Cain walked this back maybe about half a step in a conversation with Glenn Beck

BECK: You said you would not appoint a Muslim to anybody in your administration.
CAIN: The exact language was when I was asked, “would you be comfortable with a Muslim in your cabinet?” And I said, “no, I would not be comfortable.” I didn’t say I wouldn’t appoint one because if they can prove to me that they’re putting the Constitution of the United States first then they would be a candidate just like everybody else. My entire career, I’ve hired good people, great people, regardless of their religious orientation.
BECK: So wait a minute. Are you saying that Muslims have to prove their, that there has to be some loyalty proof?
CAIN: Yes, to the Constitution of the United States of America.
BECK: Would you do that to a Catholic or would you do that to a Mormon?
CAIN: Nope, I wouldn’t. Because there is a greater dangerous part of the Muslim faith than there is in these other religions. I know that there are some Muslims who talk about, “but we are a peaceful religion.” And I’m sure that there are some peace-loving Muslims.

It’s only fair that Cain qualified his suspicion of Muslim loyalty a little bit, because not all Muslims wish to establish Sharia as the law of the land. That only applies to Muslims who actually believe in the Koran. Andrew McCarthy breaks down some of this at National Review. The Koran commands Muslims to impose their law on everyone as much as possible, to either kill or at least subjugate non-believers. That’s just fact.

That is as opposed specifically, for example, to Christianity. Despite the asinine wailing of Western liberals and Islamists, no Christian is trying to force people to be Christian. There have been such things in the distant past, but only in direct contradiction of the teachings of Jesus.

Jesus made a big point of being apolitical. He pissed off a good many Jews at the time because they thought he should be leading them in an uprising against the Roman empire. Thus Jesus uttered the famous words explaining that his kingdom was not of this Earth but in heaven. That was the point in saying that you should render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.

Romans 13 says, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: The powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.” That’s foolishness if you took it all the way to the wall, but the intended point seems to be that the Christian religion was designed to be clearly distinguished from government. The basic idea of separation of church and state was carefully baked into the Christian cake 2000 years ago.

Neither Joe Lieberman in the US Senate nor even the government of Israel tries to force people to worship YHWH. Mitt Romney would not support the summary murder of anyone who criticizes Joseph Smith. Heck, the church has accepted Parker and Stone’s highly profane Book of Mormon Broadway play in good humor. Thus no one raises similar suspicions about Jews and Mormons.

But again, there are Muslims and then there are Muslims. Some Muslims are not especially religious, but it’s more of an ethnic cultural marker – as it is among many Jews or Christians or other religions. Some sects of Islam seem fairly peaceable and neighborly. Best I can tell, adherents of the Sufi sects don’t seem to be much interested in jihad. Then again, there’s the Wahhabi Muslim sect. I wouldn’t hire one of them to mow my lawn for fear they’d burn down my house for the greater glory of Allah – and I wouldn’t care how many lying oaths they took to the contrary. You’d be an utter fool to trust one of them in any position of authority in the US government.

So then, let me leave you with a question: Would Herman Cain still be a contemptible religious bigot if he narrowed it down and just said that he would not appoint a Wahhabi Muslim to his administration? Is there any point at which reality will trump religious adherence to your left wing piety?

New CD Album Releases, 6-28-2011: Christopher Titus, Beyonce, Dolly Parton, Billy Ray Cyrus

June 28th, 2011

Christopher Titus
The likeliest new album this week is a straight stand-up comedy album from Christopher Titus, Neverlution. I usually wouldn’t think of actually buying a straight album of talking. There are a very few here and there worth a listen, but I can’t think of many not made by Richard Pryor that are worth hearing repeatedly. But Christopher Titus is brilliant, and created one of the all time greatest situation comedies. When Chris Titus talks, he’s actually substantially got something to say.

I loves me some Dolly Parton, and she looks really good for 65 years – but this album ain’t sounding like much from what I’ve heard. Saw her performance of “Together You and I” on the Ellen Degeneres show, and this might have been the absolute suckingest song I’ve ever heard her sing.

Honey badger is my new hero

June 21st, 2011

Dig this YouTube video of a honey badger. This little bastard is a badass. At the climax of this, honey badger tangles asses with a big cobra. Cobra bites him. Honey badger don’t care. Honey badger kills and starts eating cobra. Venom kicks in, and honey badger passes out. Honey badger takes a nap – then wakes up and goes back to eating the cobra. Honey badger takes the rest of the cobra home for later. How does something as small as a badger get bitten by a cobra and live? Honey badger is a badass.

The narration is hysterical as well.

New CD Album Releases, 6-21-2011: Weird Al Yankovic, OK Go

June 21st, 2011

Weird Al Yankovic has his first new album in about five years, Alpocalypse. I’m all in favor of Weird Al, but I don’t really know how much you really need to own a CD for repeated listening. Plus, in this case he is not parodying anything good enough to be even vaguely worth or really even capable of parody. How much do we need a Miley Cyrus parody? He’s doing TWO Lady Gaga songs. There’s just nothing there musically to parody.
