Some of y'all might remember that Hubby & I have free HBO for 3 months, and, this weekend, I thanked my lucky stars for it because I got to watch this. If you're a George Harrison fan, finding a way to watch this documentary is a MUST!
For example, this song nearly did not get recorded nor released.
I cannot IMAGINE this universe without "My Sweet Lord."
Let's get SPARKy because George had an "interesting" sense of humor. He's "responsible" for Life of Brian, but I'll forgive him for that 1 lapse in judgment. ;D DO NOT complain about your day or having to exercise or whatever because this lady will kick your a$$ & take names! It looks like Omaha, NE is the place to go for your zombie - killing fare; I hope they also got appropriate counsel from the Zombieland folk. :D Stay away from this fashion statement if you're lactose intolerant! Finally, a cow walked down a well - actually, this poor thing FELL DOWN a well; mama said there'd be days like this, indeed!
Let's Countdown!
HOLY CRAP! OK, Keith must have some high - brow gig after the show because we've gone for how - many days sans tie to a sparking tux?! HA! :D
#5 "Occupy Wall Street" AKA "Growing Pains" - Occupy efforts went on over the weekend in over 200 American cities - including mine -- still shocked over that one. ;D From reports I've read, the gathering in Indianapolis on Saturday was peaceful; I've not read of any harrassment, pepper spraying, or anything else "fun" like that. I'm gathering Indianapolis was in the minority column on that score. The permit for DC protestors was to have expired yesterday, but no one has tried to make them leave. Mayor Bloomberg has given his grudging permission to "Occupy"ers in his fair city to stay as long as they'd like. Security guards at the Air & Space Museum pepper - sprayed protestors on Saturday. David Swanson was one of them, and he'll be a guest. A "journalist" went there to muck up the works - CLASSY! James O'Keefe might be in NYC?! HA! Des Moines protestors were arrested. Geraldo Rivera got a heck of a welcome & exited quickly stage right. ;D Russell Simons is in studio to talk Occupy Wall Street; he's been there A BUNCH! :D Keith thinks some of the dismissive reaction in the beginning has changed; well, yea, but people were hurt in the process. THAT'S what changed the reaction. Mr. Simons, don't hold your breath on getting $$$$$$ out of politics - not while this SCOTUS & Citizens United is in the air.
#4 "Support of the 'Street'?" AKA "Occupy Politics" - Rep. Nancy Pelosi had some nice words for Occupy efforts, and the Times gave them some cred, too! Of course, there are more GOBP out there claiming "Occupy"ers are dirty stinking libruls than there are Dems defending them. Didn't Rep. Pelosi have some "lovely" words for Rep. Cantor's comments about them the other day? :D "Herb" Cain thinks protestors are anti - American & anti - capitalist because they are protesting Wall Street & banks. Newt the Nazi Lover is blaming higher education. Well, I take full credit for any roll I played in that regard, thank you very much! :D Hendrik Hertzberg wrote a lovely piece in The New Yorker about the protestors and what they might - just MIGHT - be able to do in the waking the spark up of "establishment" Dems. Well, until they STOP being beholden to those corporate interests like the GOBP is, not a damn thing will change, and, again, not a damn thing will change while this SCOTUS & Citizens United is in the air. Is anyone else having deja vu all over again besides me? Some protestors are downright hostile to any "official" political endorsement; that might have to change.
"Time Marches On!" - Human "powered" flying machines were falling all over the damn place in Tampa. A doggie DOES NOT like Julia Roberts; well, she does have a BIG mouth! However, a little lady already knows who Brad Pitt is & APPROVES. :D
#3 "GOP Complex" AKA "Who Would Jesus Vote For?" - Why oh why is anyone surprised that some Bible thumping Governor Secession supporter came out & said Mormonism is a cult?! THIS IS NOT NEWS! A whole mess of the GOBP bat$hit clown car thinks this is true but don't have the cojones to say it out like like this "gentleman" did. Why do y'all think Mittens & Jon Huntsman stayed out of IA as long as they could?! Pastor Robert Jeffress made that lovely comparison this past weekend at the "Value" Voters Summit. Governor Secession first at least tried to distance himself from those comments - a bit - maybe. Shira Toeplitz gets cult duty - lucky her! I know I'm usually the downer here, but an actual candidate making a comment like that "pastor" did would not disqualify them from the race. Politics today is all about appealing to the lowest common denominator, so a comment like that from a candidate wouldn't do a damn thing to hurt them. I'll even go so far as to say that 1 of the candidates calling President Obama "the 'n' word" would still be OK. Ms. Toeplitz thinks there's religious tolerance in this country?! Sorry, but I DISAGREE in the most strong terms! Was she asleep during all that "Ground Zero mosque" $hit?! How 'bout if an "out" atheist decided to run for POTUS?! They would have about the same amount of success in their efforts as I would at nuclear fission! "Herb" Cain doesn't think race holds anyone back. O...K...
WPITW - "Herb" Cain is back! He's been quite popular tonight. ;D He doesn't care about who's running other countries. Neither did GWB. Lonesome Rhodes spoke to a nearly - empty ball room at the "Value" Voters Summit. ;D A lady forced to listen to Boss Limbaugh is suing - YES!
#1 "Occupy Madison" AKA "MAD in Madison, Too"- All right, you CheeseHead F.O.O., what's it gonna take for ya'll to convince former Senator Russ Feingold to no longer be "former" Senator Russ?! And, special kudos to the person who came up with the Network - inspired segment title. :D And, here's Russy! :D He thinks current protest efforts will only grow because more & more people will begin to realize how SCREWED we, the 99%ers have been & continue to be. I hope so; people's attention span is damn damn short. Senator Feingold is not suffering "hanging back" Dems, either! :D
