Dirty Fucking Hippie YouTube Monday

I'd love this song even without the swearing, and Chrissie Hynde really rocks it.

Bonus update: The MTV-friendly no-swearing Radiohead original version is here.

As for the gap between my last post and this one - it was a combination tryptophan overdose and military funeral.

A most beautiful love song, perhaps the most beautiful and poignant. I like this rendition cuz it's in the best dirty fucking hippie tradition - completely from the heart. I also really dig the map of Australia in the background.

If you want a more polished version, here's The Band doing it up in the fine movie, The Last Waltz.

And finally, here's Rick Danko in a solo performance less than 20 years later, and not long before he died.

A Dry Drunk No More

"On the next one, hold the egg white. And the bitters.
And the sugar syrup. And the lime juice."

While attending APEC in Lima, Bush partakes of a traditional Peruvian drink known as a "Pisco Sour."

There are many ways to make one, but they all involve the form of brandy made in Chile and Peru known as pisco.

I said it a few short days ago: I predict that the worthless piece of shit who goes by the name of George W. Bush will die a lonely and un-mourned alcohol-related death, either as the result of acute alcohol poisoning, or from a fall or other accident while drunk.

Can we just take the keys of the nation away from him now?

All About the Benjamins

"You can rape their women and kill their children, but don't ever fuck with their money."

Since money's at the top of most people's minds these day, I've added a new blogroll on the subject. The blogs on the list are all going to be by people who actually know what they're talking about, so it won't include any wingnuts or objects of their adoration. Fuck them.

Anywhoozle, the first blogs on the list are by Paul Krugman, Elizabeth Warren and colleagues, my two favorite economic writers at Daily Kos - Jerome a Paris and Bonddad, and the RGE Monitor featuring Nouriel Roubini.

I'll add to the list, and toss in my own thoughts, from time to time, for as long as our collapsing economic system allows.

For now, let's just take a listen to Mr. Roubini...

Oblivious as Always

Perhaps Mad Jack should have chosen one of the turkeys as his running mate?

World Leaders to Bush, "Go Fuck Yourself."

What's there not to despise?

My prediction: FratBoy becomes the first ex-presidential suicide - alcohol poisoning. You read it here first.

I love the song, and I like this one best of the available versions. It's not a self-indulgent art video, it's a straight up performance that features all 4 members of the band, not just super control freak Billy Corgan. And we can actually hear D'arcy's backup vocals.

I used to have a thing for D'arcy - blond hair, pale skin, dark lipstick. Oh, yeah.
