night owl music chat – america

True story: in my IRC days, “A Horse With No Name” was my entry sig when I went into rooms. For the longest time, that was the only song by America that I knew. But in fact, it’s a great, mellow band, with catchy, eminently singable music. So, to help wind down from another momentous day, some America.

What a humiliating waste of time and energy this shutdown has been. The House GOP are as bad as the Taliban.

Dear Republican Hill staffers: President Obama is now fighting for you against your own bosses, who want to toss you under the shutdown bus.

Tea Party Patriots, Americans for Prosperity, FreedomWorks, Club for Growth, funded by Kochs. These are the folks responsible for shutdown.
