Pump Up the Volume

Tea party dance lesson.



Full screen, please for the full dance lesson effect, plus lyrics so you learn those too. What a great way to lean a dance and a language, don't you think? Look up every single word you don't know in the target language and stuff it in there until the whole song is fully stuffed and your new language thoughts flow with the song. That's the way to go, I say, that and movies. A lot more fun than lab.

So the tea party patriots support team says pumpupthevolume pumpupthevolume pumpupthevolume and this time for the first time I've seen they provide a list of names and numbers to assist in the pumping. 

The message starts out angry Republican senators have turned off their phones and sent calls to voice mail and that they say patriots do not know what they're doing. 

It is my pleasure to share their email with you, here. 

Melted the phone lines  = annoyed again

I like their attitude. I find it proper. Here I am at odd with fairly everyone I know, so many seek a larger more productive, more involved humanitarian type government, look to it for validation such as marriage, instead of looking at it as servant, and a poor one at that, one that must be constantly watched. 

When you own too much you lose control. I was thinking about Canada's David Suzuki, CBC's David Suzuki it inflicts on the rest of Canada. Used to be scientist, now straight up activist. Does not know anything at all about climate yet pontificates endlessly. In hypocrisy similar to Gore in that he owns four houses but blathers constantly about conservation. 

Conservation = conservative.

For Suzuki does not speaketh for himself but for the one who sent him. 

CBC is part of Canada's government, Canada's house, the servant of the house is made master, one who does not follow his own pontifications, one who does not know what he is talking about and it shows

I like that in no way is their self-worth attached to government, the opposite, they are  prepared to shift gears and work hard to turn out poorly performing employees. They are not having any David Suzukis, house servants, telling them how their lives are to be lived. I admire that. 

It is not that they object to paying taxes, it is that they object to owning so much that servants are masters. They must go.

When there's an auxiliary verb (do, must, etc) the auxiliary verb carries the tense and person and the main verb is the bare infinitive.

That's true even in old English.

Thus doth not speak.

I mention it only because lots of people make the mistake in oldy-English and to my ear it's an impossible mistake to make.

I don't know where I picked up the sensitivity to it. Maybe King James in church.

Maybe King James in church.

I never would have mistaken Rh for a believer.

In the immortal words of Mel Allen...

How about that?

Chip, if you're at odds with everyone you know, maybe it's that they really are all wrong.

That video is kinda cute, and I notice that although there are no physical gender cues except the the dancer's movements, I can tell it's a female.

bagoh20 said...

OK, maybe a gay guy.

Well, it ain't the Beatles.

rhhardin, that's like a rule, right?

He speaketh not for himself...

Well, it's descriptive of how things go.

I picked it up explicitly from a tragically flawed transformational grammar book on sale from a Woolworth's dollar table.

By Lester, I think.

Incidentally, the Get Smart French audio does not match the Get Smart French subtitles. Even French sounds more like it's spelled that this thing does.

It's possible that the French audio is actually Canadian.
