What the Fuss?
(re-Posted) Stevie Wonder is my favorite musician of all time. If I knew that I was gong to live on an island and I could take only the music that I could carry, I would have Stevie Wonder and Sting. This is the first release off of Stevie’s new album. I love it.
I think this is the best release that Stevie has given us in over 15 years. Note that Prince is helping on the guitar.

Tune: What the Fuss?
Healthcare and TSA
A friend of mine sent this to me. I have been saying for years that TSA has never been a problem for me. I dress in a speedo and bring my own colonoscope.
Conservatives are upset, again
Conservatives are going to stomp and hold their breath until Sir Paul McCartney apologizes.
From C&L:
…little moments like these remind us of the puckish rebel of his youth:
McCartney ended the evening taking a baseless cheap shot at former President George W. Bush.
“After the last eight years, it’s great to have a President who knows what a library is,” McCartney quipped.
Republicans seem to have forgotten that The Beatles always had a way of poking fun at conservatives — and they never were compelled to hold their tongues, either.
Which is why John Boehner immediately put up a big whine:
“Like millions of other Americans, I have always had a good impression of Paul McCartney and thought of him as a classy guy, but I was surprised and disappointed by the lack of grace and respect he displayed at the White House,” Boehner told HUMAN EVENTS. “I hope he’ll apologize to the American people for his conduct which demeaned him, the White House and President Obama.”
Ed. note: Why would John Boehner think that he needed to comment on something that Paul McCartney said? Who cares? Seriously, why comment? His comment just makes him sound more moronic.
Party!
Just threw a surprise birthday party for my wife. Had some GREAT friends and family at the party.
There is nothing better than celebrating with your friends and family.
JJP’er gets his funny on
Baratunde Thurston is one of the ones that founded Jack and Jill politics. He is a comedian by trade. Here he is performing a couple of nights ago at San Francisco’s Punch Line. He covers a lot of topics in a short period of time including growing up and going to public school and then going to private school, President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize and the media’s obsession with Sarah Palin. He also suggests a few titles for Sarah Palin’s new book. This is good. Enjoy.
Rome
Very cool place. I don’t find Rome as friendly as Athens. The pace is faster.
A few pictures from Athens (Updated)
Man, it is truly amazing. Athens is a real city with a great past. So far, everyone is very friendly. I love this place.
I have a terrible internet connection and have been battling it for several days. As I’m sure you know, there are a number of definitions of high speed internet. This is supposed to be high speed. It ain’t. It’s difficult to load pictures. I’m hopeful that I can upload more pics when we get to Rome tomorrow. (I’m in Rome now and I’m lovin’ this internet!)
Anyway, anyone who likes people or history should come to Athens. The Acropolis is a fortress up on a huge rock. On top of the Acropolis is a large flat area (about six acres). This is where the Parthenon and the Erechtheion sit. The Parthenon is amazing. The Erechtheion, though overshadowed by the Parthenon, is equally impressive with its porch of maidens (Porch of the Caryatids). There is a new museum which houses many of the treasures of the Acropolis called the Museum of the Acropolis. Unfortunately, many of the treasures are sitting in the British Museum (stolen or borrowed in the late 1800s).
I was totally blown away by the Temple of Olympian Zeus. The 15 columns that are left are 56 feet high, though they seem even taller. The temple was started in the sixth century BC but was abandoned for centuries before the Roman Hadrian completed the project. The entrance to this Temple was the Arch of Hadrian. I don’t understand how you can start a Temple to your most powerful God then leave it sitting uncompleted for hundreds of years. Wouldn’t that truly put your God in a very foul mood? I’m just askin’.
The marketplace is a neat place. There is simply too much to see and do.
Oh, let me say a couple of things about the people that I have met. The Greeks have been extremely warm and friendly to me and my wife. I can’t have asked for better hosts on my first trip to Europe.
Will upload more pics later.
Dig deep into your pockets and give to the Insurance Companies
From DK:
Will Ferrell — always a helpful soul — steps up to the plate once again, leading a group of Hollywood actors and actresses in a public service announcement defending the poor, beleaguered insurance companies.
The video is not only hilarious, it’s a reminder of the narrative power of a villain — and how it could have been used to shape the health care debate in a different direction.
Mind of Mencia
I have only recently gotten into Carlos Mencia. He is fall on the floor laughing funny. This is his “rap” song “Dee, Dee, Dee.” Funny and true! (I posted this a couple of years ago but it is funny enough to be re-posted. Re-sized video.)

RSU – Moderates
Red State Update has always been very good (and funny) pointing out the craziness of politics especially the far right. Today, they realize that they are moderate in their beliefs. It is very funny. Enjoy.
Sarah Palin’s speech is really poetry
The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien has figured out Sarah Palin. I think they deserve an Emmy for this, because I have been read her speeches and I just get a headache. (The headache may or may not come with nausea.) O’Brien believes that Palin is poetry. This explains a lot. I didn’t understand half of the poetry that I read in college. I think that he may be on to something.
William Shatner reads Palin:
What would you say if you were being pressed by Republicans?
I found this on BnB and it is very funny:
This being said, she was cool under fire today. Still, I marveled at her ability to remain on point and pleasant throughout the day’s proceedings. I posted over at Jack & Jill politics that I kept waiting for her to jump up, put her hand on her hip and say, “Look here, papi. Whatchu see is whatchu get, right?” In my soap opera, she goes all Rosie Perez a la Do the Right Thing with Sessions as Mookie. Much as I would have enjoyed that, that’s exactly what they want to see. They want to see a loud, gum-smacking, neck-rolling, “spicy Latina” breaking them off a piece of her mind. Not gonna happen.
Today they re-dredged the “wise Latina” question and tried to get her to say that she was an abortion-loving rabble-rousing radical terrorist. Um yeah, it didn’t work. She stuck to the jurisprudence and referenced logical standards of impartiality for every wackadoodle scenario they threw at her. It was so off the wall at one point that I expected Jack Lemon and Walter Mathau to come out and announce that this was all a gag promoting Grumpy Old Men 3 – They’re back and elected to public office!
Let the record reflect that had it been OneChele in front of them today, the conversation would’ve gone a little differently:
“Ms. Chele, thank you for appearing in front of us today.”
I smile. “Umm-hmm, no problem. Anything for Barry, so what’s on your mind?”
“Ms. Chele, can you share with us your opinions on abortion?”
Frowning, I answer. “That seems rather personal. I think we should let grown folks handle grown folks’ business.”
“So you refuse to answer?” [Read more →]
Palin Resigns Presidency – 2011
This is very funny -
Washington, D.C., 2011 — President Sarah Palin shocked the country today after she announced that she would resign her position as President because, among other things, she did not wish to become a lame duck.
President Palin, who was elevated to the post shortly after nine Inaugural balls proved too much for the elderly President John McCain — “It was one dance too many,” said a tearful Cindy McCain — has only been President for two years, but she said that she could better lead America if she was not hampered by her current position as the leader of America.
In yet another surprise, Palin, who never appointed her replacement to the Office of the Vice President said that she would be handing over the reigns to Nancy Pelosi, who pledged to be the “best second woman president this country has ever had.”
Palin likened her decision to resign to a basketball player’s decision to “pass the ball,” a quarterback’s decision to “get rid of the pigskin,” and a NASA flight controller’s decision to “ground the bird.” She also made a comparison between her role as President and her future role as an “American leader” to the difference between butter and “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.”
She also loosely quoted General Douglas Macarthur, saying “We are not moving backward. We are moving forward in reverse.” [Read more →]
The Righteousness of Mark Sanford (Update)
It is my opinion that we need to step back as progressives and reevaluate Gov. Mark Sanford. Sure, his wife is kicking him out of the house. She’s also issued one of the most stinging rebukes of a public figure that any of us have ever heard from a wife. Yes, the governor also left his state without a chief executive for four or five days but what’s the big deal? If government is not supposed to work, then isn’t Mark Sanford perfect?
Watch this perfect parody of a video:
Update: On a more serious note, there has been a call for Governor Mark Sanford to resign on from the Greenville, South Carolina editorial page:
Gov. Mark Sanford should resign immediately and allow South Carolina to begin picking up the pieces. The two-term governor has destroyed any shred of credibility with his lies unnecessarily added on top of other lies. His ability to govern this state has been compromised so severely that he cannot fulfill the duties required of this state’s governor until a successor takes the oath of office in January 2011.
In a tearful, rambling press conference last Wednesday, one in which the governor described himself as a “bottom-line type” of guy, he painted a version of his extramarital affair with an Argentine woman that we now know simply wasn’t the whole truth. And that the governor wasn’t truthful then — and in a circumstance that did not demand the steamy particulars of the affair — undermines the last thing Mark Sanford had working in his favor: his character.

We got just a little snow here in Asheville. I think this is the most snow I’ve seen since I moved here.
