C&L's Late Nite Music Club with Marvin Gaye

I always enjoyed playing this song on flute. It's a beautiful tune as an instrumental.

Wikipedia: Marvin Gaye (born Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr., April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984) was a popular soul, R&B singer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and record producer. He gained international fame during the 1960s and 1970s as an artist on the Motown label. His best records are still highly regarded, and he is often cited as one of the finest singers of his era.

Here's more from Soul Walking.

"What's Going On" the record.

Newt wants to be your President

post from AMERICAblog on 09 June 2006 10:39:00 PM. © AMERICAblog

Yep, Newt, the paragon of virtue, is seriously thinking about running for President:

"If at that point there's still a vacuum . . . then we'll probably do something," Gingrich said, adding that his policy pronouncements have more weight if he is seen as a potential presidential candidate. "If you're interested in defining the idea context and the political context for the next generation of Americans, which I am, the most effective way to do that is to be seen as potentially available."

Matthews: Delay a cloth-coat guy

Matthews: Delay a cloth-coat guy

Chris Matthews is the number one suck up whenever he interviews Tom Delay and in this excerpt you'll see why.

Matthews: Congressman DeLay, historically there are two kinds of Republicans, like there are two kinds of everything else. There's what we always call "cloth-coat" Republicans -- regular people who believe in the conservative cause -- and then the rich people, the country club crowd. Does it bother you as a cloth-coat guy who has never made much money in this business at all, who came in with no money, to spend all your years fighting for lower taxes which have basically benefited the richest people? Does it bother you to be a cloth-coat guy fighting for the mink-coat crowd?

Video-WMP Video-QT

DeLay: (laughs) No, Chris, because I'm not fighting for any one individual. I'm fighting for our economy, the way of life and the quality of life for the American people and I'm fighting for human freedom. Cutting taxes is a human freedom thing that helps build this country and helps push it along and creates thousands, if not millions, of jobs. It allows people to buy houses and buy cars and it just stimulates the economy, as we all know. It's not done to benefit one group or another.

Matthews: But does it bother you, all the years you've been in power, as you gained power for your cause, that the people that have come to you -- the lobbyists, the big shots, the fat cats, the people that contributed a lot of money to the Republican party -- that come to you as a regular guy with no wealth and say, "This thing we want through, this special thing we want through, will really help us and will give us relief." And you know that they're just rich people who want to get richer. That doesn't bother you?

DeLay: First of all, I don't see it that way, Chris. What I see is that we built one of the largest political coalitions that's ever been put together in the last 50 years, of people of like mind that believe in less government, fewer taxes, a stronger economy, strong defense. And it took that kind of big coalition in order to drive a conservative agenda.

The Week That Was 6/09/06

Another week. More preposterousness to report.

So this week we were once again reminded of what principle really unites the GOP in (Aryan) brotherhood. Hate. It doesn?t matter if it?s gay people, 9/11 widows or women and children who were inconvenient enough to block the path of oncoming bullets in Haditha. In today?s GOP, hate is to the body politic what ipecac is to Anne Coulter?s fetid Olive Oil frame.

Speaking of Lord/Lady Douche Bag, as always the left seems to be bound by a code of civility that left politics before impeachment, when dealing with this sunken-eyed Sisyphus forever pushing a boulder the size of that goiter in his/her throat up the peak of cerebral instability. Luckily I feel bound by no such shackles when discussing the brain-sharts of a cocktail-dress clad, bleached exoskeleton who keeps appearing on my TV to hawk books written in crayon?for guys who don pencil protectors and extra-fortified V-neck sweaters to support sending your kids to war.

Should we just feel sorry for this loutish tart whose books scream out to anyone who will listen what a wretched, lonely existence he/she lives when he/she has to share wet dreams in his/her ?tomes? about a long-dead Republican whose name has become synonymous with limp-dick persecution? How about someone whose closest intimate relationship at the age of 45 has been to a chardonnay drip, a cold copy of God and Man at Yale and a burning-hot Impulse Hypersonic Bunny? No, I?m all out of feeling sorry. If he/she kept his/her dismal subsistence to himself/herself and left the rest of us alone that would be one thing. But apparently my television and newspaper have to serve as one big sofa for the hybrid gendered one. So I?m all out of compassion.

And to think that this is what supposedly heterosexual Republican men find physically attractive. No wonder they have to pass amendments attacking homosexuals, because to be a man and be attracted to Ann Coulter, somewhere in the recesses of your mind you?ve got to have lost any idea what gender sexually excites you. So better to make it all illegal, lest other people go about their business in private while you waste your time doing monthly rehab stints at Exodus International.

That is why Coulter was the perfect poster-child for GOP-hate-the-gays week. For just as this perpetually single, post-meal-toilet gripping SHE-RA attacks Democrats for being ?girly-men? and women for being the ?dumber? sex, not so ironically, it is the fidelity-challenged, hetero-maybe Republican men who lead the way on ?protecting traditional marriage,? which to them would be between man and woman?and human growth hormone if you?re Governor of California. I wrote a profile of one of these hypocritical jackasses about a year and a half ago. And he isn?t even the worst of them.

Very simply, as historian Richard Hofstadter chronicled in his famous piece The Paranoid Style in American Politics, ?the sexual freedom often attributed to the enemy, his lack of moral inhibition, his possession of especially effective techniques for fulfilling his desires, give exponents of the paranoid style an opportunity to project and express unacknowledgeable aspects of their own psychological concerns.?

Coulter and today?s GOP are self-loathing and sexually bewildered. It makes you wish they?d all just fuck Jeff Gannon and get it over with, so they could leave the rest of us alone.

Blog Behavior [9]

post from Ned Lamont for Senate - blog on 09 June 2006 09:14:00 PM. © Ned Lamont for Senate - blog

This evening, I received a call from people complaining about profanity and character attacks in the blog, and I deleted three comments. We want good discussions here and I hate to see comments deleted. However, using profanity and attacking the character of other people on the blog does not engender good discussions. I will continue to step in and delete inappropriate comments and even ban people if necessary.

There is a famous quote from Jeff Jarvis about how blogs are like people?s living rooms and if someone comes in and acts inappropriately; he has no problems kicking them out. Unfortunately, he uses some language that I would probably be asked to delete, so I want put the quote here.
