A nice take on a classic. I like watching the backup singers.

THANKS a million…I’ll be coming back to that link…

When it comes to who I am and how I relate. I come from many perspectives and especially in my love of music…but when it comes right down to it, my true “soul” music is now, and has been as long as I can remember, bluegrass gospel…it touches something deep inside me that goes beyond mere words…

I understand exactly what you mean. I’ve always loved most every type of music and listen to all kinds of stuff. As much as I enjoy it all, to me it’s music, except for bluegrass and bluegrass gospel, especially. It’s why I don’t care for some of the younger bluegrass acts. As talented as they are, and as well as they play, it’s music to them. Granted they like and often love the music and playing it but they don’t truly understand where it comes from. I think you have to be born with it. It’s about more than music, it’s about where we come from and our way of life.

The other type of music, that I would say holds that same special place for a large group of people, is the blues. I think bluegrass and the blues are very similar in what they represent for the people who grew up in the life that produced them.

It’s too late at night to be gettin’ that deep.

So now that the House has passed DADT as a standalone bill and the Senate has gotten cloture on a standalone it should be repealed by about 3:30 this afternoon. I hope they learned a lesson about trying to sneak things through by hiding them in other bills, but this being Congress I doubt it.

Fox News viewers are much more likely than others to believe false information about American politics, a new study concludes.

Wow. I’ll bet FOX is really upset that they cannot attract a higher quality viewing audience than that! I’d even suspect that their upper management is fairly unbalanced regarding these findings. In fact FOX management likely thinks that heads should roll. Perhaps the University of Maryland should hire extra security details.

Zogby Poll: Almost No Obama Voters Ace Election Test

Survey finds most Obama voters remembered negative coverage of McCain/Palin statements but struggled to correctly answer questions about coverage associated with Obama/Biden

Just 2% of voters who supported Barack Obama on Election Day obtained perfect or near-perfect scores on a post election test which gauged their knowledge of statements and scandals associated with the presidential tickets during the campaign, a new Zogby International telephone poll shows.

What’s a day without a liberal whining and self-defecating about FoxNews. Yawn. Streeeeetttch…{crack}.

Meanwhile back in the real world where real problems are, we have this – oh and FoxNews has reported about it:

“WASHINGTON (AP) — About 13.4 million taxpayers may be getting unexpected tax bills because they were awarded too much money under President Barack Obama’s Making Work Pay tax credit, a government audit said Thursday.”

Wow. Looks like a lot of people are going to have to eBay their Christmas gift cards to pay their Obamataxes. That sucks.

And the guest list of the Congressional signing of the tax bill had a few no-shows. This is priceless:

“While Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky were at the signing ceremony, missing from the guest list were Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). The Democratic leaders were invited, but had scheduling conflicts, aides said.”

Suuuuure they had scheduling conflicts. Those are the same two liberal yahoos who didn’t even read the 2009 stimulus bill or Obamacare bill. And on to other weekend news…..

“Coldest December since records began as temperatures plummet to minus 10C bringing travel chaos across Britain”

Must be that pesky man-made global warming again…..

“Snub for Obamas as Royal sources reveal they will not be invited to Prince William’s wedding”

What, did Michelle ‘O demand lobster be served at the reception or something?

“Obama reads his children’s book to 2nd graders”

Nothing like indoctrinating future mindless government living liberals. Finally for now, I thought liberals told we idiotic FoxNews viewers that there was no war on Christmas? Yep, you guessed it, CNN and PMSNBC did not report this news:

“STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The Christ is out of Christmas at the St. George Ferry Terminal. In what Catholics see as political correctness run amok, the city Department of Transportation (DOT) has removed a Nativity scene from the terminal, with an agency spokesman saying that the display was not authorized to be there.”

November employment numbers stank and Obama is beginning to look really, really bad. You can (and should) blame Reid and Pelosi but afterall, as the famous sign said, “The Buck Stops Here” and Obama can’t hide from the decisons he has made up to this point. It is encouraging that he has foresaken his base through his support of the Bush tax cut extension in a trade for his own political expendiency (his re-election) though. Sometime it takes an ideological “traitor” to do good for the whole. If he is smart, he will continue his move to the center because if he continues to listen to the loonies on the left his legacy will make Jimmy Carter look like Abraham Lincoln. By supporting the extension of the tax cuts, the Progressives have been sold out by their “Most Illustrious Leader” (in the words of the North Koreans) and I have no problem with that as long as he does things for the good of the country, not just for the good of his progressive ideology and his socialist base. Obama only cares about Obama and he proved it with his support of extension of the tax cuts. Unlike his dumb@$$ congressional leadership, he understood that the November elections were a dire warning against the progressive path that he, Reid and Pelosi had been on and the un-ending deficit spending that that entailed. On the other hand, he knows he will always have the mindless support of his “base” (blacks and leftists) no matter what, because he IS BLACK. Just having those two unwavering camps in his corner accounts for about 35%% of the voting public. His main problem will be convincing the other 65%, who are not progressive or liberal (inter-changeable terms), to vote for him. Judging by his conduct in the first two years of his presidency, I don’t think that will be enough in 2012. Of course, he may continue to move the center and he may have a chance at being a good leader by performing that great balancing act of “not too much this, not too much that”. I don’t hold out much hope of that though because he is a dyed in the wool progressive who I think is in-capable of change. I predicted a year ago on this blog that he would either have to move to the center or his presidency would be an unsavory footnote in American history and he would definitely be a one termer. I think he will be a one termer.

TaxPayer, maybe you need to re-read my comment again: “What’s a day without liberals whining and self-defecating over FoxNews.” Please don’t sell your veined argument short by cutting my quote short.

Anyway, how many liberals know that their hero, Bill Clinton, was the one that signed DADT into law in the first place in 1993? Bet not many – not even those Obama voting Demwits in the video I posted at 4:25. I only say that because all they do is refer to Republicans about it (yeah that’s “cons” to you mindless Obama voters).

Geeze. Liberals are miserable. They were miserable for 8 years under Bush, they were miserable during Pelosi’s reign, and they continue to be miserable with Obama entering his 3rd year in office (hopefully his next to last year in office). It must suck to live life in such a negative mannerism.
