Friday Stuff

Sorry I'm late with this, but Pap talks here about "The Family," uncovered by author Jeff Sharlet (think Ensign, Sanford and Coburn for starters, though they're just the tip of the proverbial iceberg)...



..."Worst Persons" (O'Reilly gets the nod for defending Lou Dobbs on immigration, despite being slapped with the proverbial wet noodle by Bernard Goldberg - and what else can you say when Geraldo Rivera emerges as the voice of reason; Roger Ailes (the bad one) also gets a citation for thinking that muzzling his own commentators constitutes quality journalism...of course, that assumes that either he or his commentators have the faintest concept of quality journalism to begin with; but Glenn Beck gets the nod for more historical revisionism of how Bushco supposedly didn't demonize those who opposed it...and K.O. left out Karl Rove's typically despicable remark about Democrats providing tea and sympathy to the 9/11 terrorists)...



...and I think this is a neat little tune, even if the band needs a new name (and I think I saw a guy in drag near the end - Oh noes! Looks like I need to be deprogrammed by that guy the Wall Street Journal wrote about yesterday; commentary here by Wayne Besen)...



...and to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the photograph of The Beatles crossing Abbey Road for the album cover tomorrow, here's a rather interesting out take of "You Never Give Me Your Money" (I learned from 'XPN's Michaela Majoun this morning that, for the LP - remember them? - the pic included a cigarette dangling from Paul McCartney's hand, but that was air-brushed out for the CD re-release).
