This is all kinds of great- some construction worker in NY is singing Karaoke at the work site during his breaks:
It’s little stuff like this that helps you get through the day.

Where have you been?
We were left alone for eons and some of us are getting into serious trouble.
Poopyman
@Maude: Or at least into the liquor.
John Cole
@Maude: It rained all night and my allergies are so bad I can barely hold my head up. My neti pot is on suicide watch.
Rosalita
any scotch left?
Poopyman
@John Cole: Probably should have washed the mold spores out of the neti pot before using it. I’m betting it’s been sitting a while.
Comrade Javamanphil
Breaks? Just another looter stealing from the job creators.
Maude
@John Cole:
Oh, please feel better.
I have a friend who has serious allergies. She gets shots once every so often and it helps. Don’t know if you want to go to an allergist.
You’ll have to pardon me, I am in a I want my Mommy, phase.
I’ll tell Poopyman to return the hard stuff, we’ll keep the moonshine.

This seems like such a good week to go off teh internets.
Distressed and disgusted by the political environment.
And got to read “The Help” before the movie comes out later this month.

Oh dear God, I think I’d rather read Corner Stone drunk typing Stuck than deal with Jennifer Rubin reveling in how Obama lost John Stewart, but there you are.

Wait… they are actually building the Second Avenue subway?!

@Tonybrown74: HA HA!

Happy B-day OO, you get a singing construction worker. :)
He’s got pipes. I hope some enterprising record producer doesn’t ruin it. Although he deserves some high life.

As somebody who works in medical billing and is constantly floored by the costs of goods and services charged by my hospital, I must say, I want to throttle this idiot that TBogg is highlighting. He’s the type of people that are why a disposable sponge costs $60, and Tylenol is $30. What a moron.

That construction worker is my kind of man. What a nice face.

@Elizabelle: I went on a media blockade on Sunday and am only emerging today. Not sure it’s safe yet, but I’m hoping the worst of it is over.
Maude
@Elizabelle:
I did not like The Help at all. I am one of a few that didn’t.

the way the 2nd ave subway is going he’s going to be singing a loooong time.

Tbogg/S,N! found a doozy, in which praying and interweb begging are more independentish than healthcare insurance, and gawd shazammed him a hospital and surgical team:

@gogol’s wife:
He’s mine, too. Thanks, John. It helps a lot today.

@trollhattan:
you’d have thought that god would have blessed him with a working duodenum.

@Maude:
I couldn’t get past page 2.
Maude
@gogol’s wife:
Thank you for telling me. It’s #1 of course.

@Comrade Javamanphil: This. This is why we are losing to China/Mexico/Malaysia, and why stimulus is so wasteful, etc, etc.
This man is like the Mafia – good at singing, but nevertheless a thug.
Corner Stone
@Keith G: what’s up with you taking shots at me?

Thanks for fun link. Hope Cole feels better.
Tips for Cole, while his judgment is impaired because of stuffy head.

@ Maude and Gogol’s Wife:
Interesting re “The Help.”
It didn’t hold my interest the first time I picked it up, but I put that down to me. Lots of distractions at the time.
Will let you know.
And yes, a media time-out sounds perfect for now.
Just learned that wanker Mark Halprin is back on Morning Joe, but will just have to take their word for it …
Maybe he’ll be back tomorrow to sing “Happy Birthday You Dick” and get the rest of August off.

That video was excellent. Just made my day. Sing it, Gary!

I wonder if Ezra and Armando aren’t correct:

Ohmylord! That was sweet! Maybe, just maybe, there is hope for Homo sapiens sapiens. Maybe.
Thank you.

“It’s little stuff like this that helps you get through the day.”
Humans are capable of incredible stupidity and cruelty, but also of true beauty and generosity.

He’s an ironworker, not a “construction” worker.

@Corner Stone: It was a lite jest – done with no malice.
