Halloween Devotional
My Mother died a year and a day ago, so this is my last day of mourning.
In recognition I’m posting this video of John Cale’s Paris 1919, which I know she liked because it was one of the few records she bought both on vinyl and CD; I’m now in possession of both copies. Great live performance with full orchestra.
You’re a ghost, la, la, la…

why is it ok for a school district to bus in all their kids to a mccain rally?
May we all do so well in the coming recession.
i watched the 30 min. obama spot last night. my only concern is that with a big spend like that, mcpalin can use the underdog possition to gain sympathy votes. i love how it was ok for republicans to have a president and a congressional majority for 6 years and now its a scare tactic against dem sweeps. there wouldnt have been such a sea shift now if there had been less republican party line lock step voting in '04 when it was already clear bush was taking the country on a neocon joyride.

incredibly two people nearly instantaneously came up with this realization about a new character on a geeky show i watch. dont know which is sadder, them realizing it or me mentioning it. anyone that considers spies like us a classic is definitely lamer than me. they win.
"Emmett Millbarge?" Hmmm...
I thought the name sounded familiar until I realized it was a mash-up of the two main characters from the 80's classic "Spies Like Us" with Donna Dixon and Vanessa Angel. Ah, memories... Oh yeah, Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase were in it too. (Yes kids, Chevy Chase used to appear in classics.) Chase was Emmett Fitz-Hume and Aykroyd was Austin Millbarge, the lead characters, but it was hard for a 19 year old to notice them when either of those women were on screen.

John McCain, who has harshly criticized the idea of sitting down with dictators without pre-conditions, appears to have done just that. In 1985, McCain traveled to Chile for a friendly meeting with Chile's military ruler, General Augusto Pinochet, one of the world's most notorious violators of human rights credited with killing more than 3,000 civilians and jailing tens of thousands of others.
The private meeting between McCain and dictator Pinochet has gone previously un-reported anywhere.
According to a declassified U.S. Embassy cable secured by The Huffington Post, McCain described the meeting with Pinochet "as friendly and at times warm, but noted that Pinochet does seem obsessed with the threat of communism." McCain, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee at the time, made no public or private statements critical of the dictatorship, nor did he meet with members of the democratic opposition in Chile, as far as could be determined from a thorough check of U.S. and Chilean newspaper records and interviews with top opposition leaders

had no idea...
So I'm watching the Bee Movie. A talking bee I can buy; a swarm of bees suspending a wide-body jet, sure; but a florist who can afford a penthouse on Central Park? That just makes no sense.
