I love power-piano ensembles. Now get off my lawn, guitar kids!

Let’s see, Rick Perry . . . “Governor Bank-of-America”.
“Governor BoA” . . .
“Governor Boa”.
Wow. Has anything ever seemed so right?

Ben Folds is so unassuming and kinda nerdy looking, so I was pretty surprised to find out he’s been married four times.

I love me some Ben Folds!

Can you imagine what the media narrative would be right now if the positions were reversed? Can you imagine what the media would be saying about Democrats in congress if they had publicly stated that their primary goal was to hamstring a Republican president? Can you imagine what the media would be saying if Democrats decided to sabotage the economy for the sole purpose to damage the reelection chances of a Republican president? Can you imagine the headlines if Democrats had held the economy hostage and caused a credit downgrade…and then cheered? Can you imagine the media’s take if in a recall election, Democrats had placed fake Republicans on the ballot just to muddy the political waters? Can you imagine the stories if a Democratic Congress, elected in a mid-term election on the promise of creating jobs, had failed to provide a single jobs bill eight months after taking office?
It’s doubtful that the media would be blaming the Republican president. It’s doubtful that the media would be offering the popular meme of both sides do it. It’s doubtful that the media would be providing a neverending stream of stories highlighting the discontent within the Republican party’s political base towards the Republican president, rather than focusing instead on the outrage of the vast majority of the Republican base towards Democrats.

@Kane: It’s treasonous to question the president during a time of war. When Kerry campaigned, he was limited to what he could say because after all our fighting men were in harms way. Those were the good old days or iokiyr.

That Bank of America ear-whisper – shit. I always assumed that the world wasn’t really like my hyperbolic posts, but there it is. Confirmation of everything I believe about the world.
I just imagined, I don’t know, a nice restaurant? More spit in the handjob?

If y’all don’t adopt “Governor Boa” right now, you are straight fools. That is front page material you clowns ugh (dragged into kitchen by suit-wearing Italians)

Now all they need to do is get a lead singer who can sing and they’ll be all set.

@Kane: Good lord, that’s an awesome summing up.

Reihan Salam sinks to new depths of flaming douchebaggery with this commentary:

sneezy
@cathyx:
That’s what I thought, too. I like the instrumental parts of that just fine, but the vocals are pretty much unlistenable.
Hal
@hilts:
Um, that would be a white America, but they’re not racist. Salam is a ridiculous conservative apologist, one of those Republican minorities who job is to show how “diverse” the party is. Just like the Log Cabin Republicans, or Herman Cain.

@burnsbesq
Yeah that match didn’t end well…
Alsotoo, Nasri’s a little shit who couldn’t live on just 90k/week, no, he needs 180k/week or he might as well not bother. Fucker.

@hilts: Well, it is racist, It’s just not RACIST.

@cathyx:
LOL. Well its Ben Folds band so I don’t think they will be changing the singer, Ben Folds.
Really I have never cared much for Ben Folds but I would say that his charms have never really been about wowing anyone with his singing voice. His voice is really fine, suited even, for the type of stuff he writes and performs. Its clear and expressive enough for music that is designed to be simple and unassuming. A kind of stripped down pop which I think is meant as a contrast to the sort of heavily produced music of its time. I think this particular song hit its height of popularity in the late 90s.
Just my two cents.

OT-but what is a moneybomb and should I be afraid of it or looking forward to it going off today?

Years ago, I walked past a tree branch where my niece Emily made a nest of sticks all in a row on the branch and I asked her what was it? She told me it was a Crocagator nest and it was to make them more comfortable and hide so they can jump out of trees to hunt for people. So watch out for the Crocagators, they’re lying in wait…
Now she’s a teen and goth, and she’s embarrassed about it. but it’s a great story. And damned if it wasn’t true. So just call me stumpy.
Samara Morgan
How about props for this?

@Dave C:
Me too. One of my favorite musicians singing one of my favorite songs.
This is a pretty awesome version of one of his other songs from that album. From my city college no less!
