Song of the Day 12/6: Mountain, “Nantucket Sleighride (To Owen Coffin)”
Long Island guitarist Leslie West was so impressed by Cream that he formed a band with Felix Pappalardi, who had produced the “Disraeli Gears” and “Wheels of Fire” LPs, on bass, to play the same kind of blues-soaked hard rock. Though they’re not much remembered today, Mountain was one of the bands that helped transform […]

Song of the Day 12/4: Amy Winehouse and Paul Weller, “I Heard It Through the Grapevine”
It’s been nearly a decade since Amy Winehouse died and she still hasn’t been replaced. In 2006, when she was on top of the world after the release of her second album, “Back to Black,” she teamed up with British blue-eyed soul icon Paul Weller on Jools Holland’s annual New Year’s Eve Hootenanny for this […]
If Trump wants to hurt Barr he shouldn’t fire him
Trump’s brain is such a worm-eaten mess, he doesn’t see that Barr is playing him like a fiddle. I actually hope (Barr firing) doesn’t happen because, as Paul said earlier this week, it seems pretty clear that the wily old Phalangist is angling to get back in the good graces of as much as the […]

Yet Another Sallies’ Priest Busted. At what point do we look at this as not a series of isolated incidents, but view the school that they all have in common as a cesspool of pedophilia? I mean, this guy was the school principal, for, um, Christ’s sake. Louie Freeh’s law firm has rushed in to whitewash this […]
I’m not ready for a little Christmas
Little Thanksgiving was strange but doable. Little Christmas is going to be rough. I’ve adopted the 100% secular American Christmas and so much has to do with family and friends. Scaling that all the way down to the four people in our nuclear family bubble is going to suck. I understand the need for little Christmas, but I’m not emotionally ready for it.

Our Insane President’s 46-Minute Rant. Why is his obvious mental unfitness so rarely mentioned? Pardoned Michael Flynn calls for Trump to declare martial law. Trump is pissed off at, wait for it, William Barr, may fire him. 2596 Stock Trades. Sen. Perdue’s one-term record. Many of which he had inside knowledge. This corruption is blatant. […]

On this day in history – John Carney Sucked
This time of year wrap ups and year in review type posts feature prominently on the blog. On this day in 2013 we looked back on John Carney’s first year in Congress – a year spent trying to build his brand as a guy who would do anything to partner with Teabag zealots in order […]
Song of the Day 12/2: Climax Blues Band, “Couldn’t Get It Right”
It’s actually about the band on tour not being able to find the Holiday Inn — that’s the sign they were looking for in the middle of the night — but the title makes it a good theme song for the Trump coup plotters. Like the Top of the Pops host, I thought this lot […]

Barr Appoints ‘Special Counsel’ To Investigate Russia Probe. Designed by Barr to continue during Biden’s term. Utterly pathetic. Apparently designed to mollify Trump.
