Van Jones Is Now Free To Roam The Country:Thank You Glenn Beck

I thought this article was cool. It is also a good mental exercise to see the beneficial side of something that looks suspiciously doubtful.
Which reminds me to add a vitrual on line 'shout out' to Arianna Huffington for stickin' it to the man, every time with great journalism. Whoop whoop!

Thank you, Glenn Beck. By helping force the resignation of Van Jones, you have done a great service to your country. But in the exact opposite way than what you intended.

Your vile and vicious smear campaign has helped reverse one of the worst examples of miscasting since John Wayne took on the role of Genghis Khan in The Conqueror.

Don't get me wrong: Van Jones was the best person for the job he just gave up. But the job was not the best use of Van Jones.

Contrary to the media caricature, the real Van Jones is a (continue reading)

SO here is a tune for Glenn Beck...you cheap skate!
You're only talkin' down to the people lookin' up...
and we got our heads up high...

Huckabee SCHMUCKABEE

The 2008 Republican presidential candidate suggested during his radio show, "The Huckabee Report," on Thursday that, under President Obama's health care plan, Kennedy would have been told to "go home to take pain pills and die" during his last year of life.

...and die?

What excellent timing Mr. Huckabee has, eh? And what a way with words.

To Demonize not just one political figure (the prez), but also Ted Kennedy. Sure, Obama said taking pain pills instead of expensive medical care. BUT TED KENNEDY IS SOMEONE WHO CAN AFFORD HEALTHCARE! AND STILL TRYING TO GET HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE! Obama's point about a lesser alternative was aimed at people who cannot afford health insurance and/or health care. Schmuckabee is yet another American who'd rather watch 20,000 people die a year than think of a remedy.

That's right.

The statistic for people who die every year is 20,000. These are people who simply can't afford health insurance and are refused medical attention. And just like a typical republican conservative speaker, Schmuckabee says something so far out and ridiculous that it makes your head spin in the attempt to find the logic and sense. And while we are busy trying to locate the sense in the god awful statement, they use it as a decoy to start a ponzi scheme or a war, or something...while we are caught arguing over schematics.

Which we learned the hard way from 200 to 2008. How about no more of this crap?

This song I specifically wrote in response to guys like Schmuckabee.

RIP SRV 19 years ago today...

I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan play at the Concord Pavilion headlining over B.B. King back in 1988. A year later we were all struck by the horrific news of his untimely death. So every year on this date I have to tip my hat to one of the greatest guitar playing blues musicians of all times.
Mr. Stevie Ray Vaughan. Love always...and will never forget...
