I agree. Winsome is a sensational candidate. But, let's talk reality here. She lost by 100,000 votes. Sorry, but even with a great candidate, we can not overcome that margin. This is more than "getting out in front of a few more voters". The 3rd Congressional lines need to be re-drawn.

End of story.

BUMP^
>"Are you ready to rummmmmmble?!!"<

;^D

Sorry guys,
I know this was supposed to be a fun post...but I'm looking for ACTION from the Republicans in all three branches...not EXCUSES.
After all...they won't have little Tommie Dasshole to kick around anymore! {G}

[Mudboy Slim]

"She lost by 100,000 votes."

OUCH!! Was it that bad? I just heard she lost and never really checked out the numbers very closely. What was the final tally? I can't believe Scott is really all that popular.

"Sorry, but even with a great candidate, we can not overcome that margin. This is more than "getting out in front of a few more voters". The 3rd Congressional lines need to be re-drawn."

So what's a good solid candidate like Ms. Sears supposed to do until 2010 or 2012? Is there a spot fer her in the Kilgore Administration?

Allman Brothers' "Blue Sky"

Walk along the river, sweet lullaby, it just keeps on flowing,
It don't worry 'bout where it's going, no, no.
Don't fly, mister blue bird, I'm just walking down the road,
Early morning sunshine tell me all I need to know

You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day.
Lord, you know it makes me high when you turn your love my way,
Turn your love my way, yeah.

Good old sunday morning, bells are ringing everywhere.
Goin to Carolina, it won't be long and I'll be there

You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day.
Lord, you know it makes me high when you turn your love my way,
Turn your love my way, yeah.

Allman Brothers' "Statesboro Blues"

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low;
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low.
You got no nerve baby, to turn Uncle John from your door.

I woke up this morning, I had them Statesboro Blues,
I woke up this morning, had them Statesboro Blues.
Well, I looked over in the corner, and Grandpa seemed to have them too.

Well my momma died and left me,
My poppa died and left me,
I ain't good looking baby,
Want someone sweet and kind.

I'm goin' to the country, baby do you wanna go?
But if you can't make it baby, your sister Lucille said she wanna go.
(and I sure will take her).

I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen;
Well, I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen.
Well, now, she treat me like a king, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I treat her like a doggone queen.

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low.

"John Ashcroft"
(To be sung to Waylon Jennings' "Amanda")

I've held it all in, Lord...God knows I've tried...
But it's an awful awakening in a patriot's life...
To know of Left's tyranny and Slick's shameless lies...
We put "OUR GUYS" in Justice, then they IGNORE Clinton's CRIMES...

John Ashcroft, please do what's Right!!
Fate...it SHALL force you to INDICT Left's blight!!
John Ashcroft, put up a Fight!!
Patriots will help you when you do what's Right!!

That's what's special 'bout FReepers, folks, we understand...
The pleasures of fightin' Slick's BigMoneyMan.
T-Mac screwed o'er the Teamsters...his crimes are OBSCENE.
Now Ashcroft's in Power, Fer Justice We FReep!!

John Ashcroft, Pride of the Right...
Left, they may hate you, but they'll learn our Might!!
John Ashcroft, Slick we'll INDICT...
Fate shall then make Bill his Cell-Buddy's "wife"!!

There's your answer Carevil......don't bother looking any farther.

The 3rd Congressional lines need to be re-drawn.

But let's not forget that the lines were redrawn. That's how we have 8 out of 11 Congresscritters on our side. Some of us remember when those numbers were reversed.

The Voting Rights Act requires us to have one minority majority district. That's not going to change. Redrawing the 3rd district Congressional lines could potentially put some of the surrounding seats in jeopardy.

That said, just another reason we need the Governor's mansion back and need to hang onto our majority in the General Assembly for the next round.

Sorry guys, I was pulling for Winsome Sears. But I never really thought she had a chance.

"Sorry guys, I know this was supposed to be a fun post...but I'm looking for ACTION from the Republicans in all three branches...not EXCUSES."

ME TOO!!
{Ummm exactly what *kind* of action ya looking for outa those guys, my friend? Just curious, is all.}

"After all...they won't have little Tommie Dasshole to kick around anymore!"

He was fun to kick around. Like whacking a springtime puff ball, eh?

Still there'll be others, there're always others when it comes to the 'Rats; who, for some odd damned reason will step up, bend over & take (well earned) kicks to their posteriors for the Party.
Go figure.
Don't ask me why.

But Mud'll tell you there was once a clown even more fun to smack around than the Das-hole.

Yup, one David "The Pit Yorkie" Bonierre (D) MI.
Now that guy was one strange duck with an ass so calloused when ya kicked 'em you'd better watch the articulation of your foot, or you'd bruise the thing but-good.

Ain't that right, Mud.

But alas thanks to MI's (more sober) constituency the Pit Yorkie's now gone, too.

...suffering the same fate as the Das-hole. ;^)

[Landru]

If you've noticed, I've place some "real" blues intermingled here & there on the EMA series you have.
By "real" I mean pre-WWII & in a few cases, WWI.

Anyway, I lifted several cuts off various CDs of the new 5-CD collection I acquired which are nothing *but* pre-war blues, constituting over 125 songs from as many different artists.
You'll know 'em when ya hear 'em if you haven't already, trust me.

Point is, do you know much about the song, Statesboro Blues?
Lemme quote what it says about that song -- which appears on one of the CDs -- by the *original* artist, OK?

---------------
Statesboro Blues
(Willie McTell) 2:32
Blind Willie McTell
Blind Willie McTell, vocal, guitar.
Recoreded Peachtree Road, Atlanta, Georgia, October 17, 1928
Original issue Victor 38001/BVE-47187-3

Bob Dylan had it right when he sang, "No one can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell." The Youngbloods and Taj Mahal covered this piece in 1967, and the Allman Bothers made it into a stadium rock standard four years later, but this is the original...more or less. McTell once said that he often "jumped" his songs from the work of others, and Statesboro Blues comes in part from Sippie Wallace's Up The Country Blues. McTell, who died in 1959, would have made a good living on the folk circuit had he lived another few years: his last recordings show that his nimbleness on the then-popular 12-string guitar was undimmed. Had he lived into the Seventies, Statesboro Blues would have made him fabulously rich, and had he survived the Ninities, he might have played at Blind Willie's in Atlanta.
---------------

I'll include the *original* Statesboro Blues by Blind Willie McTell on a future EMA volume.

...just for you. ;^)

After all...they won't have little Tommie Dasshole to kick around anymore!

Then I best get my last kicks in now, huh?!?!? :^D

I never had hugs with that
man ..... Michael Moore!

[Landru]

That's just too easy Meek, Das-hole & the himbo-bimp.

How 'bout a real challenge for our friend FBD, eh??

Say?

"I'll include the *original* Statesboro Blues by Blind Willie McTell on a future EMA volume."

I can't wait...that's really interesting about the song's history. I just happened to pop in that Live ABB VHS you'd recommended a few years back and I liked the way they did this song so much I knew I hadta FReep it. I'm heading to Myrtle Beach fer 3 days of golf in a coupla hours, and I'll see if I can't find some free time to FReep some of yer EMA songs while I'm gone.

I'll be back sometime Saturday evening.

"My Fellow DemocRATS"

"One of the things that has disturbed me about this past four years has been the refusal by so many of my fellow Democrats and liberals to listen to anything Ashcroft, Rumsfeld, Rice or Cheney has to say. Taking it one step further, my friends will go into a kind of paroxysm of irrational rage when I say I enjoyed seeing Ashfroft kibbitzing with Larry King and Ted Olson, and the Attorney General singing and playing the piano. (Yes, I am a Phi Beta Kappa, but like all those ‘morons’ in the red states, this kinda stuff helps me to relax in the evening.)

When I read a particularly astute piece by David Frum in a London paper I forwarded it to my e-mail list. Irate recipients replied without delay: ‘How DARE you send me this filth?’ or ‘I will NOT read him.’

Fine. But if you will not read him, how do you know what the opposition is thinking? Time and again this past year, I have incurred the wrath of Democrats by saying how much I learned from a Rumsfeld briefing in which he explained the origins of the position of the civilian Defence Secretary from the days of the Founding Fathers and framers of the Constitution. ‘You would listen to that Fascist Nazi war criminal?’ Frankly, I found some of Rummy’s vintage briefings educational compared to the nightly dose of BBC reports about the brutal Israelis."

>"{Ummm exactly what *kind* of action ya looking for outa those guys, my friend? Just curious, is all.}"<

-Well, I mentioned Social In-security reform among others, but for starters:

COMPLETELY overhaul the stupid Infernal Revenue System, the tax code etc.
The legislation has already been crafted for the Fair Tax, so all that needs to be done is to introduce it.


...and watch the Reagan Democrats support it whole heartedly, while you will see almost every C.P.A. and their associates in the country oppsse ANY income tax reform.

After all... this complicated system is what makes THEM so *valuable*, eh?

[Landru]

"I can't wait...that's really interesting about the song's history."

Yup.
And not *just* that song, Mud.
So much of what we call "R&R" was derived from those types of old pre-war blues songs.
Which although I *knew* [that] for many years going-in, I'd never heard the originals either, just the same.

Now I've got em *all*, am facinated to think many of the artists I've grown to love listeing to themselves as kids listened to -- & recieved their inspiration from -- these very same old artist's recordings.
I mean we'd be talking *78s* here, y'know.

America, ain't she great?

"I just happened to pop in that Live ABB VHS you'd recommended a few years back and I liked the way they did this song so much I knew I hadta FReep it."

It is a great tape, huh.
My only regret is not having sent it to you as a gift of some sort.

But I'll tell you, since "Braveman" is a *BIG* fan of Warren Haynes -- of "Gov't Mule" -- I've arranged for a copy of that very tape to be coming his way, right now.
Dickey & Warren are nothing short of *magic* with their performance that night in New England, 15 years ago.
BTW: do not buy the DVD remake of that concert my friend, they royally screwed it up -- as only LIberal-Socialists in the music industry today could -- with less concert footage & senseless interviews.
Forewarned *is* forearmed.
Which incidentally makes the VHS version somewhat valuable, y'know?

I've *plans* to have a professional service convert the VHS *to* DVD, myself.

"I'm heading to Myrtle Beach fer 3 days of golf in a coupla hours..."

Awwwwww I'm sorry Mud, whatta *lousy* break.
Left to enjoy the beautiful SC weather on the links.
Damn.

All the while I freeze myass off up in Allerton Wisconsin, overseeing the inspector I hired who'll be going over my new place with his fine toothed comb.
I hate you. :o)

"...and I'll see if I can't find some free time to FReep some of yer EMA songs while I'm gone."

Am I to take it the new material arrived already, then?

Look, I've an even better idea.

...why not just enjoy 'em for what they're worth? ;^)

"-Well, I mentioned Social In-security reform among others, but for starters: COMPLETELY overhaul the stupid Infernal Revenue System, the tax code etc. The legislation has already been crafted for the Fair Tax, so all that needs to be done is to introduce it."

*Excellent* items my friend, *spot-on*.
Now let us watch what they do, eh?

"...and watch the Reagan Democrats support it whole heartedly..."

Yup, the Liberal-Socialist cretin across the street will be the #1 person in line supporting that, too.
Although in speaking with that guy he claimed it's the Republicans responsible for the tax codes as they are today, and, his subsequent troubles.
A hopeless moron, God bless 'em. :o)

"...while you will see almost every C.P.A. and their associates in the country oppsse ANY income tax reform."

The most unrecognized theives in the USA, today.
Ranking right down there with sheisters, used car salesmen & tinmen.

"After all... this complicated system is what makes THEM so *valuable*, eh?"

HA!!

Yea they're *valuable* for translating the IRS Tax Code mess, alright.

...& rarely correct. ;^)
