Travelin’ Music to carry us to the cheatin’ side of town
The first song ever written was a love song. You know, somebody pledging their ever-lasting love and fidelity to somebody else.
The second song ever written was a cheatin’ song, complaining about the lyin’ SOB who wrote the first song.
Given recent events, it’s time to pay homage to the second oldest song topic. I’ve invited the great Miss Kitty Wells to kick off the evening’s festivities, performing a song dedicated to Paula Broadwell and all the other honky-tonk angels out there, wherever you are.

Here’s an Emmylou song that, the first time I heard it, I thought “Who is that angel singing?”
It broke my heart.

We were talking about Aimee Mann’s awesomeness earlier this week. Her latest CD is basically a concept album about how adults cope with toxic relationships. “Living a Lie” is one of my faves–it’s a duet with James Mercer of the Shins.

So, I got out to take care of one last customer (and drink a little wine!) and come back to find that you boys are trading stories of rubbing elbows with the ee-light, as my mom calls ‘em.
Re, Emmy Lou, et al, the awesome Jackson Browne said it best…
Talk about your celestial bodies
And your angels on the wing
She wasn’t much good at stickin’ around–but
She could sing…
She could shine a light
On some places that you’ve never been
In that kind of light
You could lose your sight
And believe there was something to win
You could hold her tight
With all your might
But she’d slip through your arms like the wind
And be back in flight
Back into the night

OK. For anyone who’s still sober and awake. Pay attention to the station manager/owner in this video, which was made in 2001. In what 2005 movie was he featured in a major supporting role? Hint: The movie had everything to do with an OFFICE environment. It had nothing whatsoever to do with outer SPACE. Now, for extra credit, what role did the station manager play? Hint: he had an obsession with Swingline staplers. Heck, this is too easy!

Wonder if Broadwell ever “did it” to Petraeus in his office? Oh wait, wrong public official but I don’t recall any loss of job or even hint of regret on the part of that U.S. president. Of course he didn’t resign – a sham in itself that one of our most reknown military and security leaders had his resignation accepted for an indiscretion that had no country-threatening implications proved at the time (nor since). Seems to me that hearing his rather formidable wife’s “furious” state of mind would have been punishment enough. But then that would have prevented the news media from its four or five day media frenzy, wouldn’t it? And likewise, force them to pay more attention, air-time and print to the Benghazi incident. Not a bad trade off if you were a White House advisor.

The Department of Labor has announced that new jobless claims rose by a staggering 78,000 in the first week after the election, reaching a seasonally-adjusted total of 439,000. Over the past year, and in the weeks leading up to the election, jobless claims were said to be declining, dipping as low as 339,000, with the media proclaiming that they had reached the “lowest level in more than four years.” Now, suddenly, the news seems far less rosy.
From the Department of Labor press release this morning:
In the week ending November 10, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 439,000, an increase of 78,000 from the previous week’s revised figure of 361,000. The 4-week moving average was 383,750, an increase of 11,750 from the previous week’s revised average of 372,000.
Some of the new claims, especially in New Jersey, were due to Hurricane Sandy–but these were offset by a decline in claims filed in New York. The highest numbers of new filings came from Pennsylvania and Ohio, where there were thousands of layoffs in the construction, manufacturing, and automobile industries…

So the cons will not give up on their Benghazi escapade after Petreus himself testified that he stories the GOP, Fox News and his lover put out were false stories about CIA intelligence reports. (See the floozies Oct. 26 speech in Denver claiming reliable sources in the CIA told her CIA was holding prisoners before the attack) The cons cannot accept that the intelligence directors of various agencies decided not to disclose in unclassified talking points that Ms. Rice repeated verbatim that they suspected Al-Quaida involvement in an attack on the anniversary of 9-11. Go ahead cons and substitute your distorted beliefs for a decision of our intelligence officials. Did you hear any apologies from any of the cons yesterday?????
People like dcb cannot accept that unlike Ms. Broadwell there were no breaches of security with Ms. Lewinsky (Yeah there was a secret recording device in that cigar).
Now the cons like Mr. Wingfield are looking for any misstep of the president in supporting Israel in its battle with Hamas. Their boy George Neville Chamberlain Bush forced Israel to uilaterally abandon all settlements in Gaza and businesses in 2005 claiming this would pave the way for peace with the Palestinians. Now the Israelis are faced with their version of the London Blitz.Luckily Obama helped secure funding for the Iron Dome system that is intercepting hundreds of Iranian rockets.So cons move on and grow up.
