Friday Stuff

As Atrios says, more like this - a lot more (here...hey teabaggers, nice job on the Patriot Act - you wanna lend a hand here too?)...



...and there are a lot of reasons why it's a good thing that Mubarak is no longer in charge of Egypt, but his criminal treatment of the press (to say nothing of his own people) is certainly one of them (sends a chill up my spine to realize how effective China has been at erasing their own recent past - a heroic one at that - from the memory of today's generation)...



...on a wholly other note, happy 70th birthday to Sergio Mendes (this clip is with his band Brazil 66, later reformed as Brazil 88...this might be my favorite Beatles cover - creates a wholly other mood, an iconic '60s sound for yours truly, including some of the Fellini-esque images of the band members)...



...and here's a whompin' little number to kick-start the weekend (hopefully one with no snow, shockingly enough).
