Black Keys, Preservation Hall and Dr. John blast us into the weekend
The boys from Akron, the Black Keys, had a great night at the Grammys last week, winning awards for best rock song and best rock performance for their single “Lonely Boy” and best rock album for ‘El Camino”.
They also provided what was clearly the best performance of the night, although it surely didn’t hurt that they were teamed up with the legendary Preservation Hall Jazz Band, with the great Dr. John on keyboards. Their performance of “Lonely Boy” tore the place up, waking up a show badly in need of a shot of adrenalin.
It’s a good way to send us into the weekend ….

This man gets it right.

Make NO mistake.
There ARE progressives with principles.
They might be as rare as federales with an IQ above 30…………..but they DO exist—————————
.
The New York Daily News reports:
Princeton professor Cornel West says President Obama is a “war criminal.”
West, the prominent black academic and activist who has consistently been a harsh Obama critic, took issue with the White House’s covert drone program, saying that “the chickens are coming home to roost.”
“We’ve been talking about this for a good while, the immorality of drones, dropping bombs on innocent people,” West said on his “Smiley & West” radio show with Tavis Smiley.”It’s been over 200 children so far,” West said. “These are war crimes.”
West, who has previously said that “brother Barack was just completely mesmerized by the acceptance of the establishment,” compared Obama to former Presidents George W. Bush and Richard Nixon.
“Let us not be deceived: Nixon, Bush, Obama, they’re war criminals,” West said. “They have killed innocent people in the name of the struggle for freedom, but they’re suspending the law, very much like Wall Street criminals. The law is suspended for them, but the law applies for the rest of us.”

Punishment for a crime is an “exception”.
“Involuntary servitude is a United States legal and constitutional term for a person laboring against that person’s will to benefit another, under some form of coercion other than the worker’s financial needs.
While laboring to benefit another occurs also in the condition of slavery, involuntary servitude does not necessarily connote the complete lack of freedom experienced in chattel slavery; involuntary servitude may also refer to other forms of unfree labor. Involuntary servitude is not dependent upon compensation or its amount.
The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution makes involuntary servitude illegal under any U.S. jurisdiction whether at the hands of the U.S. government or in the private sphere, except as punishment for a crime: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

Legal Dictionary:
“The term involuntary servitude is used in reference to any type of slavery, peonage, or compulsory labor for the satisfaction of debts. Two essential elements of involuntary servitude are involuntariness, which is compulsion to act against one’s will, and servitude, which is some form of labor for another. Imprisonment without forced labor is not involuntary servitude, nor is unpleasant labor when the only direct penalty for not performing it is the withholding of money or the loss of a job.”

A federal program that provides food for low-income women and their children is so badly mismanaged in Georgia that state taxpayers could be slammed with a $20 million penalty
Well isn’t that typical. Them lazy no good mothers and kids not lifting up their own bootstraps and costing millions. Why I was in line as the Whole Foods and….. I am sure the story will tell us how these members of the 47% are just ripping the “makers” off with their “taking”. Another drag on good small business owners….. oh wait….
The biggest problems come from small storefronts that traffic heavily in WIC vouchers. In the Northern District of Georgia, based in Atlanta, prosecutors handled three cases of WIC fraud worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Herbert Dix, owner of Spank’s Quick Stop in Griffin, is to go on trial later this year on 101 counts of fraud involving a total of $393,000. Shamsha Vasaya, owner of the Chevron Food Mart in Marietta, pleaded guilty last November to defrauding the Georgia WIC program of $557,421. She was sentenced to almost three years in prison. Lashunda Lovelace, owner of ABC KIDZ , is accused of defrauding the Georgia WIC program of almost $172,000.

josef: They have two characters, one was a manly gladiator and one was a servant who through circumstances became a fighter in the bands. They are lovers. They had a very long love scene in the last episode with lots of face sucking and grabbing and more graphic stuff……… As I was fast forwarding through it i wondered it that was something a gay man would do through a love scene involving a man and a woman.
While I know I’m somewhat of a minority, I liked the old days when love scenes left some (most) to the imagination. And while I’m sure that Spartacus isn’t the first to be as equal opportunity with the gay love scenes, it was one of the few times I have encountered it and so the question popped up in my mind. I thought you to be the perfect person to ask since you are truthful.
Or maybe I should have emailed it instead lol. Didn’t think about that……….

I’ll give you an example. Unmentionable was insisting that I watch “One False Move.” That initial scene was, I thought at first, way to graphically violent. He insisted that I keep watching the film. As it turned out, the scene WAS germane to the plot and I don’t see how the story could have been told without it.
Sex? Well, I’m pretty much the same as you on leaving something to the imagination. If I want porn, there’s plenty available to suit any and all tastes (or lack thereof).

I must say though that I like the series on the “premium” channels as much as the movies. I rarely see the movies as who has that much time, while I can watch the shows in under an hour.
Spartacus IMHO would be MUCH better without all the graphic violence and sex. It’s actually rather sickening at times to see the blood splatter.

Fred, I finally figured out the blood spatter is for the 3d effect if you watch how it moves. Filmmakers still have to figure out how to make the most of 3D effects yet. Who knows, one day they’ll tie it all in with those motion chairs and smells/water spray like a Disney ride — but that is really going to change those sex scenes. Some of our cons may never leave their basements
Most of the movies I have seen already but I DVR a few sometimes so I can watch them in spurts when I want.

“Spartacus IMHO would be MUCH better without all the graphic violence and sex. It’s actually rather sickening at times to see the blood splatter.”
That is the best part of that show but Game of Thrones is better.

Keep: I have a 3d TV, but we haven’t used the 3d aspect yet. When the old one died last year, it was the same price to get the 3d HD as to get the HD so we did. I never did anything else though as far as adapters and such. We have tons of glasses as it uses the same as the movie theaters they make me buy them each time and then ask me to give them back. How stupid is that? I keep them.
