Feels like it might be a little early to be posting another Tributo a Zappa recording, but what the hell, I dig this one too. It's performed by Joni Kontrol Band.

Watch the Bigoted Shit Squirm
Heading south on the 17 tonight, I passed not one but two billboards exhorting me not to sign the recall petition for Sheriff Joe Arpaio. (Too late, asshole.)
This is a good sign. It means he thinks it's a real threat.
Hell, he seems to be taking it more seriously than I am. I signed the petition but I still expect him to wriggle out of this one, just like he's wriggled out of all the other attempts to hold him accountable at the ballot box or in the courts.
Obviously he's not really expecting anybody to choose not to sign the petition based on a billboard. He's just getting his ads in early so he'll be prepared for the real fight when it comes.
Still, seems like it might backfire -- how many people didn't even know about the petition until they saw one of those billboards?
And, not to put a fine point on it? The billboards are just south of Guadalupe, a town populated entirely by people who would vote to recall him. Seems like it might not be the best idea to put a reminder of the petition right in their backyard for them to see every day.
