AmVet–Enjoyed the Warren Zevon pick, and am listening to “Old Days” right now.

HD–It’s a bit on the long side, but here’s a cookin’ version of “Georgia On My Mind” by JG and Merle Saunders:

Oops forgot about this Soul man – one of my favorites.

This is my last post – this song was played at my parent’s 30th Wedding Anniversary a couple of years back. It makes me cry whenever I hear it ’cause I remember how they danced to it and how they were just smiling at each other – it feels good when your parents are still together and still apparently like each other too! Imagine that!

A lot of people said this guy was guilty of over-singing but I think it worked on this. He can really wail and quite a voice both range wise and power wise.

Something a little different to go out on. You have to be sitting in the middle of something like this to get the full effect.

No discussion of genuinely crazy material would be complete without this, Nirvana’s set-closer for their Unplugged show (that wound up being released as a live CD)

UNDER THE HEADLINE “Scary Math,” Dave Rosenberg, one of the very few pros, until last week anyway, who has shared our reservations about the stock market and the economy (which, we suppose, is why we quote him so often in this space) has compiled an interesting list of things that polite people don’t talk about over the dinner table, that still speak eloquently to the state of the economy.

One in every 10 Americans missed a mortgage payment in the first quarter of this year — a new record. One in 10 Americans’ credit-card usage is being written off — also a new record.

One in six Americans are either unemployed or underemployed. Over four in 10 of those jobless Americans have been out of work for at least six months and there are five unemployed workers competing for every job opening.

One in four Americans with a mortgage have negative equity in their homes. Only one in 50 Americans plan to buy a home in the next six months.

One in eight Americans feel the current government policy is actually helping the economy.

Ask not, then, why so many people are so teed off.

MODS ARE WORSE THAN subprime loans

Mark’s beef is that even the worst of the mortgage brokers during the top of the housing boom never — knowingly anyway — made a loan that was 150% of the value of the house to a borrower whose debt represented 61.3% of income, as does HAMP. That suggests to him that the average modification loan will perform worse than the average subprime did. And he predicts the majority of these loans within 15 months will default once more.

Hardly glad tidings for housing or the economy. Even worse news, obviously, for the home builders, the shares of which have enjoyed something of a revival in anticipation of a solid recovery.

Morning, Kam

I was about two rows behind David Bowie at a play in London. A few people asked for his autograph and he politely said “please, I’m trying to enjoy myself.” One woman in his party must’ve been his sister. She looked like him with long hair. Rather unsettling-

Wow what a crazy week indeed.

The Mexican President comes to the White House lawn to trash the Arizona immigration law (yeah the one those incompetents Holder and Napolinato didn’t read), and Democrats give a standing ovation. Obama hangs on to every word. All those government hack charlatans running Washington obviously haven’t read any part of the Mexican Constitution, especially the part which labels immigrants second class citizens who will never be considered “true” Mexicans, and will never allow an immigrant to vote in Mexican government affairs. I have a message to Arizona: pull the plug on Los Angeles! And didn’t China’s president say Arizona’s law a violation of human rights? Are you kidding me? What universe are we in?

“The Judiciary Committee asks for letters, memos, e-mails and more, before hearings on the Supreme Court nominee begin June 28. A library official says meeting the deadline would be ‘very difficult.’” Uh uh. I’ll bet if it were a Bush appointment the Chicago lawyers running Washington would have those documents in hand faster than a chili cheese burrito through Michael Moore. Yeah. Make sure you rush a lifetime appointment of the youngest and least experienced background nominee ever.

“NEW ORLEANS (AP) – An outer edge of the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill has reached a powerful current that could take it to Florida and beyond, according to government scientists.” Where are all the environmentalists? These are the same people who would call for Bush’s resignation every time a tree fell (couldn’t you hear it?). If Bush were president and a month went by with oil still spewing thousands of barrels of oil every day do you think the main stream media and liberals wouldn’t be asking for some heads? Where’s the outrage? Oh wait, maybe this is what the incompetents in Washington call “an all hands on deck approach to the crisis.”

Speaking of incompetence: “WASHINGTON – The number of people filing new claims for unemployment benefits unexpectedly rose last week by the largest amount in three months. The surge is evidence of how volatile the job market remains, even as the economy grows.” Yeah, how’s that “laser like focus” on jobs going?

And then we have Ted Turner: “And while his stance has certainly mellowed with the years – he apologized for his past comments and joined with churches in 2008 to fight malaria – his suggestion that God may have had a hand in the oil disaster that killed 11 and is threatening the Gulf Coast may take some by surprise.” He is a self-avowed atheist the last time I checked. Isn’t it funny how liberals cherry pick religion and even use examples of it to make a point?

California liberal socialism kills Captain America being filmed in America. Go figure. Liberalism and socialism are killing Europe, and now the film makers of Captain America (Amerika?) have to move production off shore to escape radical left wing liberal socialist tax policy: “First, budget constraints forced producers to move “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” production from its titular tropical location to the tax-friendlier confines of Hawaii and London. Now, the same money concerns have sent “Captain America” overseas: the movie about the most patriotic of comic-book heroes will, ironically, not be filmed in America. The loss of production business from “Captain America: The First Avenger” is another blow to the city of Los Angeles, which has seen its share of big-budget films flee to escape the heavy tax burden its state levees on films”.

Finally, the liar Democrat Congressman Dick Blumenthal who said he served in Vietnam. But the focus is on what Rand Paul said. But when a liberal lies naturally, it’s just “miss-peaking” and being “taken out of context.” Yeah, that’s the same Blumenthal who lied and said he was captain of the Harvard swim team (and can’t even swim according to colleagues).

I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us next week!

Kam, great Bowie selection.

Well looks like there are two less lunatic fringe scumbags in the USA. Tragically, the b@st@rds took the lives of two police officers first. I’m guessing they admired this “armed and dangerous” nutjob…

http://tinyurl.com/25lafzy

(CNN) — Two suspects accused of gunning down Arkansas police officers this week may have ties to extremist anti-government groups, two civil rights organizations say.

Jerry R. Kane, 45, and his 16-year-old son Joseph Kane fatally shot two police officers and wounded two others during a wild shootout Thursday, according to Arkansas state police.

The father and son were shot and killed during the battle on the streets of West Memphis, Arkansas.

The Anti-Defamation League said the two suspects belonged to “an extreme right-wing movement that believes that virtually all existing government in the United States is illegitimate and which seeks to restore an idealized, minimalist government that never actually existed.”

Paul:

So many read other opinions to form opinions, not realizing, I suppose that opinions should be based on one’s own reading of facts.

Funny you should mention that. When the Crowley/Gates affair broke out, I immediately began reading up on Professor Gates and Officer Crowley thinking…criminee, everybody has a bad day now and then…could it be that THIS was one of those days? As far as I could tell, that’s exactly what it was. Nothing more, nothing less. I think Gates overreacted, but he wasn’t at liberty to say so. He had been excoriated for his writings that pointed to guilt among African elites, who were very much involved in the trading of slaves.

Why so angry? I guess he was looking to get back in the good graces of those (not intended as exclusively “those” within the African American community, but very possibly “those” who need to blame America first. That could be any group of those who need to maintain a left-wing perspective.

But that’s just my opinion. You can take it for what it’s worth….2 cents?

Red November – They ALLLLLL do it. Even if you scoff at religion, a lie is wrong.

There is a pattern to this misbehavior. Blumenthal, Edwards, Clinton and Kerry lied about their personal life, hiding sins or inventing heroism. Each man was very specific in his false statements. All four of these men were lawyers, and three out of four were married to lawyers. Two of the four – Clinton and Blumenthal – were chosen as Attorney General for their home state, a position that should be held by scrupulously honest men.

All of these four lying Democrats are leftists. None of the four admitted their lies until they were caught in those lies. Even then, all four used lawyerly weasel words to cloud their clear dishonesty and attack those who discovered their lies. Is it worth noting that three of these four – Clinton, Kerry and Edwards – were chosen by Democrats to run on their national ticket? Does it mean something that Blumenthal was intended to fill the seat of Chris Dodd, another leftist Democrat lawyer who was up to his neck in unethical behavior? Serial liars like these men are quickly known to their colleagues and co-partisans. That fact speaks as much to the party whose standard they bear as it does to the liars themselves. Which party? The Liars’ Party.

Paul:

An example of the backlash against Professor Gates.

I am not sure why Gates has gone out of his way to assuage white guilt in America. I hope that’s not the price a black man must pay in order to write an op-ed in the New York Times. Perhaps his PBS specials, in which he goes out of his way to prove that he is actually from Europe, is his way of fitting into the society that never embraced the little black boy from West Virginia (Gates writes extensively about being rejected by white women as a child). Henry Louis Gates seems to have spent his entire life proving to the world that he is a “big shot,” because simply being a black man may never have been quite good enough.–”the Grio Our Lives…Our World…Our Stories”

I think that’s liberal speak for Uncle Tom.

I’m outta here.
