Neither the MSM nor the opposition learnt anything during the primaries or the election itself, so I have decided to hopefully write a light hearted essay on how to report without setting your hair on fire.

My position is that aside from the Dead's live shows, the Jefferson Airplane ruled that time and place.
What I can't decide is if "After Bathing at Baxters" or "Volunteers" is the better album. Yes. album. Remember vinyl? Oh never mind.
Where's OPOL when I need him?
Anyway, peace. And remember, "No man is an island, he's a peninsula."

Hey, it's songday. I pick a song that I believe warrants it and publish an assortment of the covers of that song by various persons and or groups. Pick a few that are new to you and have a listen. It is also, of course, an open thread to talk about anything you feel like.
Today's song is: King Bee
Slim Harpo
Glen Greenwald's tweet had me thinking:

2) CIA/DeepState abuse of spy powers to subvert elected Govt is dangerous.One can cogently believe both.
