Hopefully, you'll find something in there that you missed the first...

Here's one that I haven't shared out in a few years. I first shared it out way back in 2005 , then again in 2006 , but it's been MIA until now. I thought for sure this one was heading out to us on CD, but it still hasn't seen the light of day. No idea why that it, but far be it from me to sit around and wait when it comes to a record this good. Please be my guest and download Merry Christmas From Buck...

Photo from the artist's Myspace page. Henry Rollins once reminded us about John Fogerty, “The man was born in Berkeley, California - there’s not a bayou within two thousand miles!” But despite a lack of physical proximity, Fogerty absorbed a feel for the American heartland through records, and the songs he wrote at the end of the sixties have only added to its mythology. Creedence...

I received this e-mail last night from Michael Steele, the titular head of the GOP... From the tone of that e-mail, I didn't think Mr. Steele had quite gotten the message RE: NY23 and our annoyance for initial GOP support for RINO super-loser Scozzafava (who had funneled $1M to Dede then got royally screwed when she endorsed the eventual Democrat winner, Buck Owens) so I searched for some nice

Obama..."We will not lose this election if all of you are as committed as you were last year," he said. "So I want everybody in this auditorium to make a pledge that in these next 48 hours, you will work just as hard for Jon as you worked for me."A poor choice, Democrats, Obama. Corzine is routinely hated by New Jerseyans. Obama spent Sunday stumping for Jon Corzine; there is worry...
