There are very few things in the world that have the power to make me roll my eyes as hard as Burning Man. I’m a lefty, but I’m also a curmudgeon with precious little patience for whimsy, specifically like, white-people-with-dreads-and-furry-boots-doing-fire-dancing whimsy. Particularly if it involves techno. It’s fine for other people, but not if they want to talk to me about it, as I find there is a lot of crossover between Burning Man types and people who will tell you the same story over and over again in the same conversation.
However, I have to give my full-throated support to Sean Shealy, a dude who is in some way associated with Burning Man, and his glorious plan to hold a month-long music fest on the Federal Ground across the way from Cliven Bundy’s ranch, where his cows have been illegally grazing for decades. That is hilarious and awesome and I hope it happens.
Via Facebook:
Come celebrate TOTAL FREEDOM at BUNDYFEST, just across the road from the Cliven Bundy Ranch, in Bunkerville, Nevada! 240 bands, 24 hours a day, for a SOLID ROCKIN’ MONTH!!!!
*NO PERMITS REQUIRED *CAMP ABSOLUTELY ANYWHERE *FULL NUDITY NOT A PROBLEM *GAY-FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE *PENIS ERECTION CONTEST: Erect the largest penis in the open desert, win valuable prize! (tbd)
BACKGROUND: For years, we paid permitting fees to hold Burning Man on the beautiful Playa in Northern Nevada. But now, Cliven Bundy has shown us a NEW WAY! ABSOLUTE FREEDOM! Bundy has declared the entire area surrounding Bundy Ranch as a TOTALLY RULES-FREE ZONE! ANYTHING GOES! WOO-HOO!!!
Why should Burning Man end on September 1st? Swing down to Vegas for a few days for some R&R, a few good buffets, and then HEAD ON UP TO BUNDYFEST! All 50,000+ Burning Man participants are invited to attend — and as many more as can make the trip from anywhere in the world! 100,000? 250,000? THE SKY IS THE LIMIT AT BUNDYFEST! The desert surrounding Bundy’s ranch is LIMITLESS!
Personally, I really hope they go through with it. It would really be the perfect way for Cliven Bundy to show that he means what he says about people being legally able to do whatever the hell they want on federal land. The downside, of course, is the possibility that it could also attract all his whackadoodle sovereign citizen militia friends who could, you know, kill the people going.
h/t Crooks and Liars
Fumigation hoses.
for starters!
perhaps I should start some rumors about some other possibilities
This is an example of their hate. They hate us. We disdain them for certain things.
But thss an example of blind irrational hate.
Go for it. But clean up after yourselves.
What amazes me is how many title and land use experts there are on the left. They know everything.
Have any of them ever heard of the concept of "adverse possession"?
My spouse and I are taking our kids!! This is Woodstock!! And we are taking semi autos!! Totally legal— In case we are attacked .
Do you see now how the burning man people are fascist and willing to act on it?
It won’t be too long before there is a person in the wicker.
Be interesting to see what happens if they trespass on his land? I`d shoot a few, target practice for when the real goons come back.
Somehow I doubt that this was Bundy’s intent and I doubt that Bundy will be welcoming these Leftist kooks to his neighborhood.
Th BLM’s entire bases for charging Bundy for his grazing rights is that he caused unspecified damage to the land.
These Burning Man idiots will do more damage to the desert land in a month than Bundy’s cattle could do in a year or a decade.
No I do not think Bundy will find these lunatics helpful to his cause. I also do not think Bundy ever suggested that there be no rules for the grazing land use. He just doesn’t think the it is the Federal Government that should be making the rules.
Awesome!
Psychological Warfare? Play the loud music for a month? Is that good for the cattle? Complain and be hypocrites? Maybe I’m too suspicious but I don’t believe they are doing this to be supportive.
I think the writer is making a broader point than the one you suggest.
She is far more attractive than I would have presumed. She’s downright presentable, in fact.
Pre-approved for a BJ Clinton post-POTUS pardon!
That makes her as hideous as hell to me...no matter what my eyes are seeing.
He’s trying to mock Bundy by misrepresenting Bundy’s argument. It’s easy to do, very easy.
A good time for a rattle snake round up, but this one would drive the snakes toward the encampment.
It’s a fake.
Bundy’s argument is that the BLM has multiple mandates for that land and instead has chosen just to focus on the Endangered Species Act. Keep in mind that a species is undefined.
