Did anybody see Larry King? Coulter was having a meltdown over Delay. At one point, she actually was staring at the camera and baring her teeth like a demented horse.

Hi ya'll. ANother day in the heart of rebublicanism.
We had to drive downtown this morningm and as we were driving by a building, I casually pointed out a building I knew to be a jail to my passenger, knowing it did not look like one. As we drove by the front doors, we noticed a bunch of evacuees sitting outside. It was obvious they were evacuees by their appearance and the way they were hanging around outside a jail on a week day.
We could'nt believe it, but just now reading the news I ran across this very article...Rita Evacuees Can't Believe They're Being Housed In Jail
What has this country come to, when we are allowed to house our own traumitized citizens to sit in a fracking jail house? What the fuck?
Ann Coulter reminds me of Joan Rivers right before the first time she disappeared into obscurity.
Keith Olbermann referenced Iggy Pop. Nobody should ever question why I love him so.

Coulter was having a meltdown over Delay
I caught that, a caller actually asked Colter why if any Democrat was indicted that she automatically assumed they were guilty, but if a repub was indicted there was clearly nothing to it. She replied that it's because the dems were the only ones that would be found guilty. How the hell can anyone take her seriously?

Thanks for playing. Come on - I know you assholes have many favorite Mellencamp songs - all I am asking is that you name one.
Otter-
Excellent news!
The first time I heard Mellencamp he was still going by Johnny Cougar.
Where did I hear him?
He was playing his songs on this strange talk show on Nickelodean in its nascent days. It was hosted by this sort of albino guy with white hair who was "famous" for doing sound effects.
And there was a long hair freaky guy in the "audience" who went by the name "Mouse."
Anybody remember this show??????
"It is not merely cruelty that leads men to love war, it is excitement."

I rather like his version of Woody Guthrie's "If you ain't got that do re mi."
Also like Little Pink Houses and Smalltown. Oh hell, I like 'em all.
Coulter was reduced to ranting "Hillary! Hillary! Hillary! had fund raisers in Los Angeles and no one indicted her!! Hillary!"
It was pathetic.
Blair too is in deep foolish shit:
Don't mention the war
Delegate, 82, manhandled from Labour conference for a single word of criticism to Jack Straw on the issue that the Government refuse to discuss in Brighton
The Labour Party was forced to make a humiliating apology to an 82-year-old party member last night after he was thrown out of the conference for heckling Jack Straw.
Walter Wolfgang, a party member for 57 years, was bundled out of the conference hall by stewards after shouting "nonsense" as Mr Straw, the Foreign Secretary, defended Britain's role in Iraq. He was later stopped under anti-terrorist powers as he tried to re-enter the hall.
The heavy-handed treatment of Mr Wolfgang revived criticism of the " control freakery" associated with New Labour and even drew comparisons with the way the Communist leaders in Russia and China stifled dissent.
Mr Wolfgang fled Nazi Germany as a teenager for the freedom of Britain. He said: "I shouted out 'nonsense'. That's all I said. Then these two toughies came round and wanted to manhandle me out. 'I said: 'Do you want me to leave? I will leave, you don't need to manhandle me.'
"Physically, I am not too well, so I said I would follow them."
In what Tony Blair's anti-war critics have called the "don't mention the war" conference, the party avoided a separate debate and vote on Iraq and the Prime Minister made only a short reference to the issue in his keynote speech. Mr Blair also blocked a motion for the conference to pay tribute to Robin Cook, the cabinet minister who resigned over the war and died in August. Yesterday's protest was muted by Labour's standards, but the over-reaction by conference stewards backfired and turned into a public relations disaster for the party.
Steve Forrest, the chairman of the Erith and Thamesmead Labour Party, was also ejected for protesting at Mr Wolfgang's treatment. Angry delegates demonstrated at the removal of the two men as Mr Straw made an unapologetic defence of British policy in Iraq.
Mr Wolfgang, a prominent member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, said: "Most of the Labour Party stewards are very nice people. One or two people lend themselves to this nonsense. It makes me feel that the people who resort to these tactics are very unsure of themselves and they are on the losing side."

Late for the Delay is Toast discussion, too.
But I noticed last week (or was it before?) when Delay cancelled the House investigation into Katrina, and it got "un-cancelled," that he'd obviously lost a lot of clout.
No surprise that this will do him in. The greater the testimonials to his innocence by the GOP, the more certain his political end.

THE BUSH CONNECTION:
Some of Jack Abramoff's most heinous work was on behalf of the government of the Northern Mariana Islands. (A U.S. territory). Human "brokers" bring thousands there to work as sex slaves and in cramped sweatshop garment factories where clothes (complete with "Made in USA" tag) are made for several brand names. Working with Safavian, Abramoff lobbied various public officials, particularly Rep. Tom DeLay, to prevent any crack-down on the worker abuse on the island. In January 2001, when Bush entered office, Abramoff wrote island officials, "Our standing with the new administration promises to be solid as several friends of the [Marianas] will soon be taking high-ranking positions in the Administration."
Which proved correct as two members of Abramoff's lobbying team received positions in the Bush White House, one as assistant secretary of labor, and another, David Safavian, as chief of staff to the General Services Administration. In the first year of Bush's presidency, Abramoff and his lobbying team "logged nearly 200 contacts with the new administration." They insisted on "friendly hires" and lax labor laws with officials as high up as Attorney General John Ashcroft and policy advisers in Vice President Dick Cheney's office, and it apparently worked: the islands "fended off proposals in 2001 to extend the U.S. minimum wage to island workers and gained at least $2 million more in federal aid from the administration."
By the middle of 2003, Abramoff "had raised at least $100,000 for Mr. Bush's re-election campaign, becoming one of Bush's famed 'pioneers.'"

Well, not right in the topic bullseye but here's a reprise of something for getting a rise:
How about this for a big wet Democratic dream: It's January 2009. Hillary Clinton is preparing to take the oath of office. Rush, Rove, and DeLay are sill in prison! Furthermore, I get webcam feed of the looks on their faces when they watch her induction into the Presidency. I love it!
Funny thing about a guy like Mellencamp... he was all over the radio (maybe moreso out here in the sticks) that I never really felt the need to buy the records. Now, of course, he isn't on 'rock radio' at all (locally the Greats are Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica and AC/DC).
Mellencamp & John Fogerty toured together- was it last summer? woulda liked to have seen that.
Did Larry King ask Coulter to sing like he did with Celine Dion?

"Funny thing about a guy like Mellencamp... he was all over the radio (maybe moreso out here in the sticks) that I never really felt the need to buy the records."
This is true and the reason is that he has so many goddamn great singles. But yes, he is played a lot out there in the "sticks" as you say. You can't drive from Michigan to Florida with a barrage of great Mellencamp songs coming at you one right after the other.

My sister and I had our own version of that.
joyhn meelencamp is ok, but i can't think of a favorite song of his. right now may favorite springsteen song is "atlantic city".
the first line is:
well they blew up the chickenman in philly last night
you know they blew up his house too
and it just gets better from there.
Yeah, as cynical as I try to be, every time I hear "Small Town" I wax nostalgic about my own hometown. Unfortunately, the developers have gotten ahold of it and are trying as hard as they can to turn it into a giant McMansion ghetto now.

Okay. I appreciate the responses to my Mellencamp query. We can stop now, but not before giving you my favorite Mellencamp song:
"Rain the Scarecrow"
The crops we grew last summer weren’t enough to pay the loans
Couldn’t buy the seed to plant this spring and the farmers bank foreclosed
Called my old friend schepman up to auction off the land
He said john it’s just my job and I hope you understand
Hey calling it your job ol’ hoss sure don’t make it right
But if you want me to I’ll say a prayer for your soul tonight
And grandma’s on the front porch swing with a Bible in her hand
Sometimes I hear her singing take me to the promised land
When you take away a man’s dignity he can’t work his fields and cows
There’ll be blood on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Blood on the scarecrow blood on the plow

Nope.
I was 17 when "Darkness" came out and was working in a factory in San Antonio making air conditioners for cars.
Rolling into work at 6 am with that cassette playing was mystical.
Saw him live that summer also.
I'm so liberal!
I can't decide whether to spend money from my trust fund or my welfare check!
Y'know?
As Paul Westerberg of the Replacements
put it, if Mellencamp had made all
his albums on a small, cool indie
label he'd be considered the most
amazing singer/songwriter/rocker
ever.
Sorry, guy, the cat's great.
Oh, and if you need a killer song,
try "Again Tonight."

Bill Bennett: "[Y]ou could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down"
If Bennett and his "conservative" ilk had absolute power, I have no doubt that some form of "the final solution" would start in this country.
Syd -- "Hurts So Good" and "The Authority Song" and "Rain on the Scarecrow." But you're right -- most of them. But I hate "Jack and Diane." Maybe MTV overplayed it a little too much back in the day.
I'll throw one out there:
Bill Withers

The following is from a university psych class I found online:
"4. Jack and Diane are high school students who met at the Tasty Freeze. When they see each other, their blood starts to boil and they can hardly contain their excitement. They rarely talk about anything of substance (such as what it's like to hold on to 16 as long as they can... changes come around real soon make them women and men...) and they date other people when they are not together. How would you classify their relationship using Sternbergís triangle of love?
5. Jack spends most of his time working out because he's gonna be a football star. When he's not doing that, he tends to have multiple romantic interests and he sees love as a game. Which of Hendrick & Hendrick's love styles applies best to him?
6. Diane always gets worried that her romantic partners are going to leave her. She gets so involved in every relationship that her enthusiasm sometimes scares her partners away. What attachment style does Diane problem have?"
Pretty clever, eh?
BTW, I grew up in a small town with a Tasty Freeze. I miss their ice creams and pizza subs (with extra cheese and extra sauce).
Springsteen - too many to really name. but I always like both THUNDER ROAD (tha accoustic version) and THE PROMISE.

yeah. that's why i said that right now my favorite is "atlantic city".
it changes. a lot of the time my favorite is "meeting across the river".

Rmj seems to have slunk away in shame, realizing he did not know that "Pi are round, cornbread are square" is indeed engraved on a plaque next to the entrance of the brand new--well it was when I worked on it in '87--Texas A&M University Engineering Building. Strooth. That's our Aggies...
Billy Joel has a lot to answer for, though..."We Didn't Start the Fire"...

All his stuff is ghastly in my book, but the fake 4 Seasons stuff is the bottom of the barrel.
Thers, why do you say "Queens cop bars with drunken Billy Joel sing-alongs" like it's a bad thing? You watch Tango & Cash.
OT- but fir the first time in my life, I just heard
bush referred to as an unpopular president on CNN - by Jeff Greenfield, no less.
superfluous nipples
As opposed to Eli's functional nipples.
yeah. that's why i said that right now my favorite is "atlantic city".
Have you heard Hank Williams III's country version of it? I like it better than the original.
But today my favorite Springsteen is "Reason to Believe"
Yosh and Stan Schmenge rock! I remember the tribute they did to John Williams. After the bio ("he was born in Litonia in nineteen-hundred-eleven..."), they did polka versions of Superman and Star Wars. Ultra cool.
Uh, well ... ... I did like Brooks' version better than Joel's.
OMG hometown news announces DeLay indicted and gave up HML position...
rock, rock, rock on!!!!!!!!!!
Now, before you dis Garth altogether, get ahold of 'Fresh Horses' and listen to 'Ireland'.
It was cut almost seven years ago.
It could be any GI's biography.
Terry C
"This is the day of the expanding man"
Alltime favorite Dan song.
Are you married? I am
Left Lane
Deacon Blues.
Divorced, 6 years now! Long story, not a pleasant one!

Who could forget their polka version of "Jaws"?

I LIKED Allentown.
I like Billy's stuff for the most part.
Actually, I like the Four Seasons, too.
So what the Roberts hearing? I've got an old contact who knows a name of a person I met personally. His contact info I have to find again.
Anyways if he is reached by tommorrow perhaps I can give Mr.Specter a reason to filibuster...
Since my friend was busy doing calls for NOLA with disaster relief it was difficult to reach him. If able he can verify better than most, good background in pathology...
By the way, others who went apprently said the Superdome horror stories were true. Which is it? What really went down? She is more a gossip than someone who has the insight to sort shit from a shinebox, and of course the current spin is tp obfiscate(obfuscate?) so they can eventually trump any story with an all too familiar "it's always wrong" withdrawal stratagem.
Agree to disagree that it was every level of gevernment's fault, like Timmeh says!
Terry C, you have a way with words.
The Papal Raging Bull
How so?
Can't take credit for "cockgobbler."
Just quoted another Atriot!
"Maybe America's new conservation president will downgrade from Air Force One to a solar-powered Piper Cub as he continues to stalk the Gulf Coast towns and oil rigs like Banquo's Ghost."

Rats! The MSM witches are onto me. I may have to lay low for awhile.
Everyone must have watched the PBS Dylan and the followup with CHuck D's coverage of protest music. Very very entertaining.

Rock critics are fools.

I don't get it -- I haven't posted but once or twice in two months and then suddenly first I'm banned and a few hours later not.
I suspect there is something screwy with the programming that should be checked. Does anyone else have this problem?
One suggestion -- progressives should put together a big Live Aid type fundraiser for NOLA for when the focus on Katrina has died down. It would then be the focus of the issue and could raise money to promote a progressive program at the grassroots for trying to assist NOLA & the region in every needed way.
"I came to sieze your berry, not appraise it"
The punchline to a long joke.
