OPEN POST: Is This A Bonnie & Clyde Mobile?

By AK

Just saw this beaut today when I pulled into the nearby Walgreens parking lot, which is not a glamorous area of town. Are those bullet holes? I don't know cars of this vintage very well - I'm more used to 1950s vehicles, with soaring fins and gleaming chromium - but I think it's a 1929 Ford Model A. That's what I'm going with, anyway. 1929 was pretty momentous (Black Friday and the ensuing Great Depression), but not all the news was bad. "Hallelujah," the first Hollywood film with an all-Black cast, was released: 


Also, "The Hollywood Revue of 1929" came out and was a gigantic hit. It starred almost every actor on the MGM lot and featured a cheerful little ditty called "Singin' In The Rain." 


It's been covered dozens of times, most famously in the 1952 film of the same name, "Singin' In The Rain," possibly the greatest musical of all time.


Whatever kind of Wednesday you're having, whether it's sunny as blazes, or a blizzard, or there's a torrential downpour, I hope you're singin' (and dancin') (and whatever other shenanigans you get up to) in the rain.

The Internet needs to be spanked, because a group of stinky-poos came for Liza this week. But luckily, Liza, glorious legend that she is, snapped back.

"Nyah, nyah, nyah," the lesser-thans sneered, acting as if they caught Liza make a major whoopsie (or a major Beyonce) (you decide). But Liza kindly, yet firmly. put them in their place. She knows Rihanna, of course, and “I did a tribute to her ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ with the album art. Some people got it, and some people didn’t! But nobody needed to be unkind. With social media, everyone can be a critic. And I realize people use this space to amplify their voice. To those who defend me when my age, decisions, appearance and art are under fire, I’m very grateful. It takes courage to stand beside a friend when things are difficult. You know who you are. And I love you very mu...

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 1/26/2026!

The Highest Product of Capitalism (after John Heartfield) 1979, Jo Spence, with Terry Dennett Austerity is not an unfortunate economic reality; it is a political weapon. It is how the state disciplines the public while protecting capital, and it has been doing this without impunity for decades, if not longer. Oversight is nonexistent. There is no culpability. It isn’t even questioned, and both political parties are complicit in pushing this as an undeniable truth. The messages differ, but the flavor is the same.  The Republicans are undoubtedly more corrupt, crueler, greedier, more vindictive, and recklessly divisive. This creates the illusion that the Democrats are positioned to be the answer and that once they are in power, everything will change. Democratic politicians push this narrative; however, they never rise to the occasion, resulting in bitter disappointment and frustration for those who vote for change. With tepid moral outrage, they make the rounds on MSNBC, give rousin...
