Friday Night Music-Lou Reed

Friday, March 7, 2008

Okay, I caught one rather odd change in the lyrics. They aren’t colored girls anymore. Given the subject matter, it’s sort of hard to figure why he made that change. Take a Walk on the Wild Side: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJV0MljEcTk[/youtube] I just love these sort of pairings. This tops David Bowie and Bing Crosby. Lou Reed and […]

Hillary predicts the future-badly.

Friday, March 7, 2008

Hillary Clinton committed a cardinal sin recently by implying, if not stating outright, that John McCain would be a better president than Barack Obama. I’m not going to add my voice to everyone else who has come down on her, though she deserves every denunciation. What no one has noticed is the fact that, if […]

Betting Liberally

Thursday, March 6, 2008

I’ve just returned from our third Drinking Liberally. Attendance was down; I’m hoping it was because of the basketball game. Before I retire, I must memorialize a bet that I made with another liberal drinker. I “win” the bet if the Democrats get 57 or more Senate seats after the next election and they do […]

John McCain, an agent of an agent of intolerance

Wednesday, March 5, 2008

Louis Farakhan endorsed Barack Obama, though Obama neither sought nor welcomed the endorsement. Nonetheless, as must all black politicians, he was forced to go through the ritual of denouncing him, most recently at the hands of the loathsome Tim Russert, during a debate with Hillary. John McCain, having traveled a long way from his remarks […]

Obama wins Vermont

Tuesday, March 4, 2008

I am mostly taking the night off tonight, to monitor the results and also because I have nothing to say. I am happy to see that Obama won in the Republic of Vermont by almost 2 to 1. My wife says that it is possible that Obama could have a net gain in delegates from […]

Dems set to cave on FISA

Monday, March 3, 2008

The Democrats in the House appear set to follow their Senate colleagues into infamy. Give them credit for weathering the storm of two weeks of criticism from the Republicans and a virtual rebellion by the people at large (did you miss that? So did I actually) against their stand in favor of the Constitution. The […]

The Real McCain, part 2 (The Keating Five)

Sunday, March 2, 2008

(Being the second of an irregular series about the John McCain the press will not let you see. I am not trying to break new ground here. I’m just trying to spread the word about the John McCain that is hiding in plain sight, the man that you will not hear about while we debate […]

The party “rejects the fraud perpetrated on the members of this party and the citizens of Connecticut by Joe Lieberman when he used the creation of this party to […]

Greetings from the Imperial Capital

Sunday, March 2, 2008

Hello from Washington, where we are blissfully unaware of the latest news, as we have not been glued to our computers full time. Herewith some pictures. First, to get the governmental landmarks out of the way, here’s the White House, looking eminently approachable because stuck my camera lens through the fence. As you can see […]
