Belly up, fired, and retired

I'm just grateful.

This man was always profoundly goofy but never anything approaching funny.

Dave Navarro for the first leg of PUMPKINS/JANE'S tour, incl Cap One.


His long covid is keeping him home.  (Can't he get vitamin B injections or whatever to do the 65min set?!?!)

Sux esp because Eric Avery is back on bass so it woulda been an original lineup.  Ugh. 

Troy van Leeuween (QOTSA etc) is guitarist.

That blows

I really always thought the parliamentary stuff was a joke by the way the act on the floor
but I have to agree, I'm thinking it's a better system than ours

it's a system of gov't I'm really not well versed in

I have thought the parliamentary system superior for about two decades now.

What I like is that to be PM your party must have the majority. None of this the president can’t do shit cause his party doesn’t control the senate BS. And if the PM fucks up then the majority party just replaces them. In our system we are stuck and can’t do anything…we elect a president to do stuff but most of the time they can’t do anything. All the stars have to align just so for an American president to get anything done and it’s likely to be a very short window anyways. In America these days a president is lucky to get a couple of bills through congress! How is that any way to govern?

You do understand the extreme gerrymandering in the US would very much hurt the Dems in a parliamentary system, right?

Although I do like the idea of the incoming PM coming and asking me for permission to form a government in my name . . .

we will never have a parliamentary system in the US, and if by some miracle we converted to one ending gerrymandering would be easy….

I mean our system of government is in our constitution so we are stuck with it….if somehow we could change it we could easily ditch gerrymandering

We are convinced we are the greatest in everything so nothing changes….we are complacent and our government ossified

I mean if we can’t even ditch the electoral college….

You know, you could just leave this country, since it's so bad and out of control.  I'm sure the concerts, are wonderful.
