Obama to Poor, Sick, Elderly: Drop Dead

We elected George W. Bush in blackface:
Mr. Obama, who is to meet at the White House with the bipartisan leadership of Congress in an effort to work out an agreement to raise the federal debt limit, wants to move well beyond the $2 trillion in savings sought in earlier negotiations and seek perhaps twice as [...]

Shorter Christine Flowers: “Do the Crime, Do the Time… AND NO JOBS FOR YOU EVER AGAIN.”

And this woman’s a LAWYER???:
O THE City of Brotherly Love has decided to extend that love even further.
Our fair metropolis is going to prevent employers from asking about a person’s criminal history before first interviewing him for a job.
So please line up, rapists, embezzlers and car thieves: Here’s your opportunity!

Apology, and Owning It.

Posted by Brendan on April 11th, 2011 filed in blogs, public service announcement

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 [...]
