There’s nothing quite like an El Camino with an eight-track stereo
Elizabeth Cook, a woman with some rather odd ties to Georgia and Atlanta, opens tonight at the Variety for the very funny, witty Todd Snider.
Most of Snider’s material isn’t suitable for posting on this blog, but go look him up — you’ll enjoy the sense of humor.
But back to Cook. She grew up in Florida, the daughter of a moonshiner and welder who learned the latter craft serving time at the federal penitentiary here in Atlanta, just a few miles from where she’ll be playing tonight. She’s a graduate of Georgia Southern, with degrees in accounting and computer information systems. I’ve seen her refer to herself as a math geek who took calculus classes in college for fun, and because she thought they’d be an easy “A”.
Here she is, a hard-to-categorize musician performing her ode to another classic American eccentricity, the El Camino:

Wow! Chuck Hagel as SecDef! Does this mean that:
1. All 435 Representatives and all 100 Senators won’t still be at Israel’s beck and call and jump in unison at Israel’s request?
2. Does this mean that Jewish control of our media will end and with it their control of the information you receive?
3. Does this mean that Israel will cease to exist?
4. Does this mean that the U.S. will no longer be Israel’s lapdog?
5. Does this mean that the Israeli tail will no wag the U.S. dog?
NO
What is does mean is that maybe, just maybe, we might have a voice of reason to counter “Little Napoleon” Nutandyahoo’s brash recklessness in the Middle East and avert WWIII.
There, I feel so much better now. I feel like dancing to some Queen music.

Here’s the question you should all be asking yourselves. Are you ready for a full-blown, Viet Nam type, regional war in Syria that involves many of the other nearby countries? A war that is not “comfortable” like the ones we have now. A war where you or your children are required to go and fight in. A war that devastates our economy (even worse than the previous two). A war, that like Viet Nam, where we suffer a humiliating defeat. Would you like to see and end to Jewish-centric neocon control of our government regardless of who or which party is elected? These are the uncomfortable questions that we, as a nation, need to be asking ourselves. Do you really give a rat’s hind quarter who the f*ck is president of Syria?

“…My drift here ought to be obvious. I’m referring to the way the media treat Obama. It’s not always adoring. It’s intermittently fair and even-handed. But overall, what’s distinctive about the press coverage of Obama is the absence of fault-finding, criticism, and dogged questioning. And when Obama makes excuses, as he often does, the media tend to echo them.
No president in my lifetime has been covered so favorably and so gingerly. Never has the press corps been so unwilling to pursue stories that might cast the president in an unflattering light. As a group, the media pride themselves on taking an adversarial approach to politicians and government officials. But in Obama’s case, the press acts like a helpmate…”

After the welfare check Sunday evening, Davis’ wife and children went to stay with a relative. She sought a restraining order the following day. In the order, his wife stated she was unaware that Davis owned a gun and said she and others have noticed a change in Davis’ personality over the last month.
On Monday morning, Davis began posting videos that criticized school administrators, the teachers union and co-workers, among a slew of other topics. Davis also sent a school-wide email saying he would “remove the union and all of the teachers who are negatively affecting the children in this town.”
