Luncheon at Liberal Rapture

midday items:

1. An Air America post lays out why the Baucus bill sucks.

2. Splendeed - wild card good deed this week. Do it.

3. I like Peter Schiff. I think he is an interesting man. I am not sure he has a chance at defeating a moderate GOP or a Dem in Connecticut. I'd have cherry picked another senate seat to run for in Utah or Idaho. Connecticut Dems are going to rip him to pieces if he gets the GOP nom.

4. Very Funny:



5. Music: Because some tuesdays I feel like hearing french pop music about business men who pretend to be bulls on the streets of Paris. Is that so wrong?

Who are your representatives?

The suggested task this week at Splendeed was to contact your rep. and voice your opinion on health care....what ever your opinion is...I knew my congresswoman (Diane Watson) and Senators (Feinstein/Boxer) but realized I had no real idea who my state reps were. I had a vague sense that I'd voted for someone...but couldn't name them...AND my city council rep was also vague to me - as it's changed a few time recently due to people moving on...my ignorance was sad but true...So I did my research and now all are clearly posted on my fridge.
Now you:


Not doing a lunch post today. But we MUST have some music. The USC football team has made Bill Wither's song Lean On Me their theme for the season. Below is Wither's singing his classic and a clip of his "prank" visit to the USC football team this year that ends with everyone singing...Lean On Me's sweet simplicity ranks it near Let It Be as one of the 20th Century Pop songs that people will be singing forever...
