I saw the Music Liberation Orchestra play a few days after Obama was elected in 2008, and it was about the most fun I’ve ever had seeing music live.
This is a great story.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.
Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.
Republicans in disarray!
Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.
GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.
Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?
The words do not have to be perfect.
A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.
A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.
These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.
Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.
The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.
Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?
This blog will pay for itself.
A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals
Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.
You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.
I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.
Books are my comfort food!
Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.
Republicans do not pay their debts.
There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.
rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius
There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

I used to play Charlie’s records during my college radio shows when I was doing jazz programs, and sometimes on the alternative shows too. Not just a jazz great, but a true American progressive also.
Rest in peace, Charlie Haden, or, if there is an afterlife, jam the nights away in beautiful noise.

It’s 0019 and you old duffers have called it. On a Friday!

Peggy Noonan’s border nonsense: Her bizarre view of how “normal people” experience this crisis
satby
@raven: yeah, her columns are a scream for an intervention at this point. The kind thing to do would be bundling her off for a long detox and rehab.
Suffern ACE
@raven: some people note that these are kids and so we should have a bit of compassion, noting many biblical injunctions against harming children and strangers. Normal people wonder why we aren’t doing more to blow their legs off, sending the message once and for all that we mean business.

tommy ramone died.

@raven: Fortunately the link wasn’t to her column. Peggy would be doing herself a favor, if she would just outsource her work to Sarah Palin.
OzarkHillbilly
@raven: Thanx. A lot. I was happily deluded into thinking she was dead. Now I am forced to acknowledge that I still share my planet with her.
Wally Ballou
@tybee: I can’t believe they’re all gone. Goddammit.

Indeed, a great story.
