It was pretty much a no brainer. $80 million to convene a bunch of politicians who would screw around (and possibly mess up my sweet pension) seemed like a bad deal. It was defeated roundly. LouieB

right..in my dyslexic world I guess on means no. Despite a good concept I guess there was no interest in trying to make another one. LouieB

I recall this movie starting great and ending badly....(quality wise not plot wise, since I have no idea how it ended..) and there was on sequel. LouieB

Shocking..unbelieveably shocking... But seriously....the IL constitutional convention failed; what a break for the good guys....we really didn't need this, we just need a few laws passed to impeach or recall public officials, not a complete rewrite. LouieB

Only after I read his obit in the paper this morning did I realize he was only 61. Damn.... LouieB

Welll I will stick around for Puzzling Evidence..... LouieB

Yea, good stuff.... you may have to continue without me tonight....not sure what this blues thing is... LouieB

Was there an election...damn I must have missed that........... LouieB

Wow I had no idea...bummer. Listening to a Hendrix show right before Rosie's show too...even weirder.... LouieB

what am I doing up this hour...oh yea...waiting on Rosie....I had no idea she followed a Jimi Hendrix show..... Okay...starting with some twangy stuff....which included Uncle Tupelo... now Townes Van Zandt...okay..not staying up much longer tonight...maybe for The Band... LouieB

Why am I not surprised?? But does the money go to her campaign?? LouieB

Obama is selling victory tee shirts...maybe Palin should start selling defeat tee shirts in preparation for 2012. LouieB

"She uses language with the jumps, breaks and rippling momentum of a be-bop saxophonist." Yup she is a regular beat poet.... LouieB

Thanks for tuning in...see anyone else at 2 AM Central Time in the US of A.... LouieB

Oops...you snuck that one in...I edited my last post with that.... not sure that Rosie knew I had posted this up this PM... but we might as well figure it was for VC. LouieB

Camille Paglia has finally lost her mind.... LouieB

Rosie is on for the next 15 minutes...get link above... edit...closed out with Walken... LouieB

It is also possible I confused the Zerang and Drake birthday thing....we shall see. I have been to the solstice many times over the years. I missed the first few years, but once I did start going I hated to miss it. Actually attendence at this has increased year by year after they announced they weren't going to do it any more. It is a very moving experience, although it is sort of relaxing as well so one is likely to doze off if you have a comfortable seat. Since it starts before the sun comes up and ends after sunrise you do have to be an early riser. I suggest buying a ticket ahead be

At least mention the Wilco factor...this is a Wilco board!! (But don't bother mentioning that Obama won in every demographic except people over 60....) LouieB

Buzz Kill... LouieB

Don't these guys still wish they were around to get the royalties? LouieB

There is apparently a Hamid Drake birthday party sometime soon also. For some reason the Hideout's calendar doesn't go into December, or maybe I am just missing something. LouieB

Yup that's right...even at this late date, McCain and Obama are basically the same guy....right!!!! Gore and Bush basically the same guy...I just don't know how I missed this somehow.... LouieB

Well okay. I suppose that is a supposition that none of us can make. The ultra left isn't going to support any candidate that is even left of center (which Obama clearly is) so you may be right. Those folks would simply like to vote for whomever and then continue to bitch indefinitely, rather than work within the system at all. Believe me I understand that. I have palled around with ultra leftists plenty (mostly in my youth) and I understand how they think. It goes like this....let's not vote for anyone who can win because that way we actually have to live with our decsion to support someo
