The utter lies about Syria and Russia. It is as though they (TPTB) have been licking their lips to start a war with Russia- and they can't quite give up on the idea. So, much to my regret I'm leading with the story of war and American aggression.
Hey, it's songday. Today 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: Wang Dang Doodle.
Willie Dixon,
