This comes from Restore the Republic.
In this edition of the Reality Report Gary Franchi covers a story on the banker bailout payback extension, a victory over socialized healthcare in Virginia, a story on the new facial recognition hardware that could be headed to your local police station. Footage from the Lewis burglary is shown with exclusive footage from the new film “Don’t Tread On Me”.
Late Lament by Graeme Edge
Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament,
Another day’s useless energy spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,
Lonely man cries for love and has none.
New mother picks up and suckles her son,
Senior citizens wish they were young.
Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white,
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion???
Seeing someone’s going to Alabama, I figured I’d give ya’ll this. While my arm mends. (and yes, it still hurts….)
This, as far as this blogger is concerned, was the best performance at the Grammy Awards:
They just do not make music like this anymore. 😀

Call it a hunch, but I somehow seriously doubt that this sort of an ad would fly here in America. 😯
Duke Ellington and his orchestra playing this awesome tune in 1943.
“It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)” is a 1931 composition by Duke Ellington with lyrics by Irving Mills, now accepted as a jazz standard. The music was written and arranged by Ellington in August 1931 during intermissions at Chicago’s Lincoln Tavern and was first recorded by Ellington and his orchestra for Brunswick Records (Br 6265) on February 2, 1932. Ivie Anderson sang the vocal and trombonist Joe Nanton and alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges played the instrumental solos. The title was based on the oft stated credo of Ellington’s former trumpeter Bubber Miley, who was dying of tuberculosis. The song became famous, Ellington wrote, “as the expression of a sentiment which prevailed among jazz musicians at the time.” Probably the first song to use the phrase “swing” in the title, it introduced the term into everyday language and presaged the Swing Era by three years. The Ellington band played the song continuously over the years and recorded it numerous times, most often with trumpeter Ray Nance as vocalist.
Wow… I’m shocked… I wrote about this myself yesterday, But I never expected this out of Keith.
