At the end of a crazy week, a little travelin’ music to see y’all back home
Here’s a very nice version of a very nice song to kick off the latest chapter of Friday Night Travelin’ Music. (And while Willie wrote it, Miss Patsy owns it and always will. I don’t know if Willie wrote it specifically for her, but it was a perfect fit to that voice).
We haven’t done a night of dedications here before, probably because it might inject a taint of politics into the affair. But you sho’ could dedicate this one to any number of folks in the news in recent days. Enjoy the evening, and the weekend.

Workers of the World Unite! The One is correct ,,,,as always. Our friends in Cuba agree with him.
By PAUL HAVEN
Associated Press Writer
HAVANA (AP) – Cuban lawmakers have passed a resolution denouncing Arizona’s new immigration law as “racist and xenophobic,” recalling an old dispute in the process: the argument that the United States’ purchase of Arizona from Mexico in the 19th century was tantamount to theft.

Man, I hate it when politicians go looking for a scapegoat.
But Blair was most out of step with the White House when he told Congress that an inter-agency high value interrogation group that hadn’t been stood up yet should have been called in to interrogate Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian suspect in the attempted Christmas Day blowing up of a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. The administration said Abdulmutallab should be treated like a criminal and Blair later revealed that Abdulmutallab was giving information to the FBI.
In other Congressional testimony this year, Blair revealed the controversial information that an American-born Yemeni cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, linked to Abdulmutallab and the suspect in the November Ft. Hood shootings has been placed on the list of terrorism suspects targeted for assassination by the CIA.
Some intelligence community veterans argue the DNI position was itself a poorly thought-out and ill-defined post-Sept. 11 reform that Congress never gave the authority to be effective, and that the person who took the job was set up to fail.
The DNI position “never had the full authority to move personnel around” or budgetary authority over the 16 intelligence agencies the DNI nominally oversees, former senior intelligence official Paul Pillar told POLITICO.
They were short-changed on technology.
Enjoy the music, guys.

Yesterday, INTC. I know I’m doomed to lose big real soon, but so far this year I’m only down two percent. Oh, baby, I’m rolling in dough!!!! That’s the new millionaire. Hey, How’d I get so rich!!!

Okay, that commercial for ALLY, where an obnoxious jerk give a real pony to the one girl and a toy pony to the other, or the same jerk holding a doll which asks the little girl, For broccoli, say ONE, for toys say TWO. Now the little girl says, “TOYS”. The instructions clearly told her to say TWO for toys. So the little girl was, sorry, a dope. She didn’t deserve any toys if she’s that stupid. Yet the voice over says, “Even little girls know it’s wrong to give someone the runaround.”
Well, that’s not what happened in the commercial. Nobody gave anyone the runaround. All the girl had to do was to say TWO. The entire import of what happened is completely lost. The whole premise of the commercial is wrong, wrong, wrong. The obnoxious jerk is the good guy. The mini-me doll he’s holding is the good guy too. The little girl is the greedy little beedy-eyed truant loser who don’t get no toys and I’m glad.
So whatever ALLY is selling, I ain’t buying.

Welcome to Friday night, Normal!
(GO NAVY!)
Years ago when my son was in the Boy Scouts, we had some big gathering and the MC asked everyone who had served in uniform to stand, A goodly number of us did. Then he asked everybody who had a father, mother, brother or sister who had, to stand. More did of course, The extended families and so on. At the end virtually everyone was standing.
The point? We’re all in this crazy sh_t together.
For all the brothers in arms here – marines, soldiers, airmen and sailors. Conservative, liberal and neither. Black, white and every color. And their extended families.
A million old soldiers will fade away, but a dream goes on forever…(check out the Heineken bottle on the piano).

Once knew a guy who was DeKalb County fireman. He told me about going to a house on a medical call. He said, “It was just an ordinary house and when we walked in it looked normal. Then as we started down the hall, the walls were covered with gold records. You ever heard of anybody named Clarence Carter?” He was young; he didn’t know. Said he was an extremely nice fellow.

Okay, how about the over-mugging CNBC stock pundits: They actually put “excitement” in their delivery when the dow goes up, and “worry” in their voice when it goes down. They mug mercilessly like bio-emoticons to reflect the trading action. Like take today: There was a short covering of a little over one percent in the last hour of trading, and now they’re all having a bull rally party, and everyone has stock picks and these people are crazy.

(Reuters) – The number of mass layoffs by U.S. employers rose in April led by manufacturers who shed workers even as the economy began to recover.
The Labor Department said the number of mass layoff events — defined as job cuts involving at least 50 people from a single employer — increased by 228 to 1,856 as employers shed 200,870 jobs on a seasonally adjusted basis.
The dummycrats aren’t shipping jobs overseas, they’re sending them to the ash heap of history, just sayin…

Well everything is slow in Texas…….it’s sad that they didn’t recognize the treasure they had in her until it was monetarily beneficial for them to do so. Janis, even though she was a rocker, could sing the blues just as good as any black chick from Mississippi. I love the way she redid Big Mama’s Thornton’s “Ball & Chain” (although I’m crazy for Big Mama’s version), she song the song so well, that people believe that Janis was the one who originated it!! Between her, Billie Holiday and Big Mama, i LOVE the blues!!
Oh yea, and my grand dad used to play in a blues band and every year (except this year cause he’s been really sick) we go to the Memphis Blues Festival, The St. Louis Blues Festival and the BAr B Que and the blues festival they have in this little small town in Florida & Georgia. The small ones are always the BEST. Lots of local talent (on and off the grills), and lots of fun.

My father adopted her when he married my mother and she has dual citizenship.

Texas Education – In Memoriam
Well, the ultra-conservative folks in Texas have re-entered the Dark Ages. All please genuflect for a moment of silence. Education is dead in Texas. Slavery is hence forth to be referred to a “Triangular Trade” in Texas history books. Thomas Jefferson is not such a big deal now, because that founding father said a few words about separation of church and state.
This song is for you Texas TaliBaptists:

Question #2: Does your sister like white guys??
South America is not like N. America. — not saying that there’s no prejudices or anything like that, it’s just not as “protestant” and “hypocritical” as the US is. Latin Americans take life as it comes, and they enjoy it while they can. She won’t see you, or anyone, as “white” or “black” she’ll see you as “friend” or “foe”. She can’t even fathom someone not liking her because of what color her skin is, or vice versa.

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.

Triangulation is bad regarding slavery? Does it mention the part of Muslims as major traders? Does it say that England banned the trade and America profiteers ran smuggling operations, getting slaves from those same African/Arab/Portuguese and other traders?
What’s taught now? Does it ignore the slave trade in Africa before Europeans took part? Are students now taught which civilization, the only one ever, if I’m correct, eradicated civilization?

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!

(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.”

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.

Try on some Tony Hayward, CEO of BP, who told the BBC that it wasn’t their mess, but they’ll go ahead and clean it up anyways: “This was not our accident … This was not our drilling rig.

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?

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”

Because the GOP (and their Dem lapdogs) as perfectly illustrated by DickHead Cheney’s back room, closed door “energy policy” meetings with ONLY the corporations represented, have been successful in getting lots of governmental agencies to work FOR Exxon Mobil Chevron, BP, Valero Energy, Marathon Oil, Dow Chemical, Archer Daniels Midland, DuPont et al, ad nauseum.
NOT for the interests of we the people.
Isn’t his what you LESS regulations, LESS adherence to the rule of law
