The painful, booze-sodden detour from Lovers’ Lane
It’s a simple, classic recipe:
One (1) broken heart.
One (1) bottle of booze. (Add more as needed).
The result is the drunken break-up, heartbreak song, presented here by the recently reunited Mavericks. I love their sound: Rockabilly beats, backed by a powerful blast of Latino horns, probably due to the influence of lead singer Raul Malo out of Miami. Good stuff.

Great jump up boogie woogie with a kind of swing beat.
Jay, just curious, where do you find all of the good, albeit a tad obscure, (to me anyway) stuff that you do? Friends, colleagues, just snooping around? (LOL!)

Aw. Good-timey music from Jay. And with the sort of impeccable musicianship and classy stagecraft I expect from him.
This sorta thing (hey, it’s related via Teh Booze) is more my style, though.

Your point isn’t lost on me. I like Jay’s tune and totally dig the horn section, but it’s too upbeat to express real heartbreak. When I’m feeling that kind of pain, I wallow in this (shout out the awesomeness of this local guitar god and his Flying V…)

Jam,
I’m back for a bit. I’m actually thinking about going back to my “Normal” name, but Corbin Sharpe is a combination of a birthplace and a special family name. 2012 was a bad year for my Kentucky relatives and I was feeling nostalgic. The things (and people) you thought would be there forever…but now aren’t.
Anyway I think it’s time to lock away the memories and go back to be me, what’ll y’all think?

why is congress cheering? Here’s a bit from the NYT (nytimes.com) “FEDERAL UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS By the end of the fiscal year, on Sept. 30, the Labor Department estimates that $2.3 billion will be cut from federal jobless benefits. Those benefits provide 14 to 47 weeks of aid after state-provided benefits run out, generally after 26 weeks. The support is critical. The share of unemployed workers who have been out of work for more than six months was 38.1 percent in January, with the worst levels of long-term unemployment occurring among workers 45 or older. That group is likely to have substantial family and financial obligations, even as it is often shunned by employers. According to an Urban Institute survey last year, workers in their 50s are about 20 percent less likely to be rehired than workers ages 25 to 34.
It will probably take the states, which administer the benefits, at least until April to make the program changes. While that will postpone the immediate pain, it means that the cuts, when they come, will be concentrated over an even shorter period.
NUTRITION AID The federal government has yet to issue specific guidance on how states should handle an estimated cut to the WIC program of $340 million this fiscal year. Little will happen until April, but, after that, priority is likely to be given increasingly to pregnant and breast-feeding women and to infants, while women not breast-feeding are put on an indefinite wait list, along with many children over 1 year old. The cutbacks to mothers would affect African-Americans disproportionately, because their breast-feeding rates are lower than other groups’. The cuts in aid to children will fall disproportionately on Hispanic families, who tend to have more children.”NYT

I awoke this morning, birds were singing, my electricity is still on, my car is in the drive way, I am healthy, my family are happy, no Obama predicted catastrophe. I realize Obama will do everything he can over the next few weeks to cause catastrophes so he can blame it on the Pubs and his dumbed down minions will go along, but for now now no economic failure. Keep an eye on Obama’s new spending programs for the truth, like golf outings, vacations for his family, travel for his constant complaining and other give aways like financial aid to the Al Quaeda Syrian rebels. Note the thousands of crimnal and dangerous prisons he has already released prior to any budget cuts. With his prisoner release program coupled with his warning of police losing their jobs, we need to reduce restrictions on gun ownership.

Obama did NOT say that, the second sequestration became a reality, all these bad things you allude to would immediately take place.
If this sequestration continues, and nothing is done to stop it, there will be hardships for many. No one knows how long this will go on and how widspread the pain will be.
Using persuasive explanations to try and bolster your viewpoints only shows how shaky they are to start with.

If you look at ALL of the things being said on this subject and not just the right wing media, you would see. Remember just how correct the right wing media was in predicting the Presidential election.
The foot dragging, the actions of a spoiled four year old, the willful misuse of the filibuster, etc….all of those things point to just one thing. The GOP does not care about the average American…and I will say it again…The GOP is very good at slapping you on the back, calling you a fine patriot, and thanking you for your vote, but if you do not make over 250,000.00 a year, they will screw you royally…That y’all can’t see that must say something about our educational system too.

Sadly the president talks as though he’s merely an outside observer as to how the government is functioning. The sequestration should be a test of the nations chief executive and commander-n-chief as to how effective he is as its leader. In all probability Obama will continue running from office, while behaving as though he’s still running for office by blaming the opposition party for the nations woes. When will the majority of voters see this president for what he really is, just plain bad for America.

First of all the president proposed the sequester, he was the originator and it was to address spending cuts not tax increases. Tax increases was another issue that was separated from sequester. Some say the president just wanted to postpone the spending cut issue until after the election but that’s speculation. Yes both parties signed on and the president signed it into law.

Corbin,
Obama got his tax increase to get the Republicans agreement for another CR and next he wanted additional tax increases to get a sequester deal. To quote Woodward, Obama was trying to move the goal posts. What can Obama do now? He can accept the Republicans offer of giving he and his administration transfer authority, so funding can be prioritized by account thus continuing to fund important accounts be shifting funds from less important and less disruptive accounts. Obama declined that offer because he doesn’t want his leadership measured and he can continue his campaign rhetoric of blaming congressional Republicans.

Closing tax loop holes is not raising taxes, it is logical raising revenue. President Obama campaigned against the looting of our social entitlements and he is a man of his word.
