The Godfather of Tenor


I heard a clip of this yesterday on NPR & thought it sounded pretty good… the best part is closer to the end…

That is, if you like operatic soul.

Without Even Passing any Legislation


Nancy Pelosi managed to undermine the subprime lending market, subverted General Motors’ profit structure (though I’m sure their CEO will still get his raise), and generally just wrecked the economy.
If only she would use her mighty powers for good instead of evil.


From the comments over there:
