Friday Stuff

"Worst Persons" time (the volume is a little off), with K.O. telling us that Flush Limbore bloviated recently about ACORN supposedly getting $4.19 billion from the stimulus bill, which is typically wrong - the money is for "non-profit housing developers to help purchase, rehab, and resell foreclosed properties" (of course, as Keith notes, Limbore could actually bid for some of it if he weren't so busy lying about it); Bill Orally blames Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan for telling NATO to curtail its bombing activities because it's killing too many Afghan civilians - of course, SecDef Bob Gates thinks Karzai is right, and Billo is typically wrong as well (Keith forgot his Billo voice here); the winner (?), though, is Bernard Goldberg, formerly of CBS News, who, as K.O. notes, doctored a transcript of Tom Brokaw talking to Charlie Rose, putting words into Brokaw's mouth from a wholly other question in that interview - nice - even though Goldberg claims that the media "jumped the shark" on Obama (superb takedown by K.O. on this cretin who truly deserves it)...



...and as a tribute to keyboardist Billy Powell of Lynyrd Skynyrd, here's "That Smell," performed with what I guess would be the band's most recent incarnation at Rockpalast in 1996 (the original band with Ronnie Van Zant is featured in a video from here, performing "Gimme Three Steps").
