Turned C.N.N. on to get away from the tepid MSNBC morning fare, and unbelievably David Bossie, head of Citizens United, was on "Early Start". He was hawking Brietbarts last liefest, "Occupy Unmasked". Zoralda Sambolin threw softballs at him while he told viewers how Occupys real purpose is to "destroy the government, not change it".
No one to offer an opposing point of view, while he spewed his vile garbage uncontested. It is times like this that I feel like giving up hope, the press I remember from the days of Watergate and the Vietnam era is no more. As Steve Earle says, "Don't believe everything you read in the papers, cause they ain't lookin' out for you like they used to".
Video here (on edit - almost forgot!)

Next time the Dementors start to get you and drain you, remember Patronus Charm: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Patronus_Charm

They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them... Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself...soulless and evil. You will be left with nothing but the worst experiences of your life."

Johnnie Johnson (the bandleader who discovered Chuck Berry) tells the story:
Thanks for sharing this rare gem! I shall have great use for it...

(9,981 posts)The movie "Hail, Hail Rock 'n Roll" was the main deal, but the "boys" helped make Johnny a nice little comeback album - there's a cut called "Tanqueray" that's especially tasty.
