Well this should give those editor types over at Before It's News a collective boner.
Over the past week I've written separately about three topics that came together in one mainstream headline today; Allen West supports Nugent in Secret Service probe.
Hell, who even knew these disparate stories could converge and congeal...
West is the guy who broke the story about the card-carrying Communists in the Democratic Party.
You know what the Secret Service guys were probing down in Cartagena to make it onto the front pages.
And then you have the Nuge, the Motor City Madman, proffering his take on an Obama re-election.
Days later the Secret Service is probing the Motor City Motormouth and Allen West is riding to his rescue!
Oh, it's a crazy world, ain't it?
By the way, a reader sent a quibble to the Falling Downs think-tank on that Nugent bit. Claimed I was wrong to suggest that Maple Leaf Gardens would have been half empty if Terrible Ted had been sharing his intemperate pro-gun anti-Obama opinions back in the day.
Well, on reflection, I'd have to agree with the quibble. The crew I went to see Nugent with weren't exactly a peace and love crowd. There's a tendency to view the past through the haze of what you think it should have been instead of what it was. Music should never be tethered to politics.
Good call.
