I saw this today ( on a bird-brain app ) This ‘performance art’ only happens when they have an embedded cammer capturing both their Assault Speeches as well as anyone who reacts to it. > Remember: When you see Scumbags like this, someone behind you is filming them and enabling them ( as well as you).

This is probably a lead in to their commercial, which will probably not make Tucker happy, whatever it ends up being. Tucker would probably be okay with Maya so long as she wore go-go boots.

I think that tweet could’ve used a warning to have exterior speakers at low volume before playing. (heh hoping the neighbours didn’t hear mine). ETA: Coming from someone who’s admittedly forgot NSFWs on some of my previous posts, probably. ---

Baby Einstein is more of a Bach fan anyway. Does ‘Direct TV removes ONAN/Newsmax from their feeds, causing the Right to scream CENSORSHIP’ count? Need a ruling. ---

> [@JohnT](#): > > Mozart CD’s being given to newborns (yes, they got mad about this) I never knew that the right got mad about it, but it’s not surprising (I guess they would have preferred Toby Keith or Ted Nugent). I do remember being puzzled when G. Gordon Liddy spoke approvingly of it on his radio show. He came from an era when conservatives liked classical music and believed that rock and roll was destroying western civilization. ---

> [@F.U.Shakespeare](#): > > I never knew that the right got mad about it I know about this one because it was a Zell Miller (GA Governor, (D)) initiative back in 1993 or so, and Rush got bent out of shape about it. Living in Atlanta at the time I couldn’t help but hear about this one. ---

Just to be clear, Zell Miller was trying to make babies listen to Mozart? Not a big issue for me and likely does no harm but I would object because I’m pretty sure no science supports the idea. ---

Every mother of a newborn child was to be given one of those “Mozart for babies” CD’s which were in vogue back then. … now I am imagining a newborn going through the _Clockwork Orange_ treatment, complete with eyedrops. ---
