I wrote most of this one:

I’ll add that the war is also unconstitutional, and that Obama looks more like George W. Bush than ever.
Gonna be hard to campaign on “hope and change” in 2012 when you’ve overseen so much of the “same old, same old”.

Farewell to my Friend

Posted by Brendan on March 28th, 2011 filed in bluegrass, obituary, youtube

I just got the news that my old friend Jake Jenkins died in a plane crash outside of his home in Lubbock Texas. His parents were in the plane with him: Jake leaves behind a wife and three young children.
That’s Jake kicking ass on the banjo in the video above, a few months after [...]

How to Turn Your Child Into a Psychological Time Bomb

Posted by Brendan on March 25th, 2011 filed in random, wtf??, youtube

I’m sorry this actually exists, yet at the same time I’m NOT sorry.

Sure, the song’s stuck in your head. And the images associated with it are uncomfortable. And the way the child dances suggests that the pee pee did not so much end up in his bed as much as it ended up in [...]

Sunday Sunday Sunday

Posted by Brendan on March 25th, 2011 filed in Philadelphia, Rock-n-roll, gratitude, public service announcement

This will be one of the last Delco Nightingale gigs in Philadelphia before we head west to play Viva Las Vegas XIV and then the Turner Classic Movies Festival (!!) in Hollywood. We’ll probably be busting out a couple of new songs too, and on top of that the Philadelphia Brewing Company’s providing $2.00 Kenzingers [...]

The Arab League Also Needs to STFU.

Thanks a lot, guys:
CAIRO — The Arab League secretary general, Amr Moussa, deplored the broad scope of the U.S.-European bombing campaign in Libya and said Sunday that he would call a league meeting to reconsider Arab approval of the Western military intervention.
Moussa said the Arab League’s approval of a no-fly zone on March 12 was [...]

Note to the Republicans: STFU

Posted by Brendan on March 21st, 2011 filed in Republican perverts, calling bullshit, lying republican filth, right wing dingalings, war

I think I’ve made my feelings on the Libyan adventure quite clear, but if there’s one group of people I don’t need to hear from it’s the Republicans:

Bill Hangley, on FB:
Can’t build a road. Can’t fix a bridge. Can’t lay train tracks. Can’t pay teachers. Can’t help you with college. Can’t patrol Wall Street. Can’t raise taxes. Can’t protect entitlements. Can’t find Bin Laden. Can’t end the two wars we already started. Bomb Libya? Sure, we can do that.
