Ever have one of those days when you can’t get an old tune out of your mind? All day yesterday I kept hearing the Steely Dan song “Black Friday.” Use this weekly open forum to tell us what noises and voices you hear in your head.
When Black Friday comes
I’ll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor
When Black Friday comes
I’ll collect everything I’m owed
And before my friends find out
I’ll be on the road
When Black Friday falls you know it’s got to be
Don’t let it fall on me
“Black Friday” Nothing more then the culmination of a long and concerted effort to deregulate. Remember this effort started back in the Reagan years and has continued forward until the present and we are now seeing the fruits of that labor. I would only assume that all those who were proponents of deregulation must be cheering now because of their successes.

The tune that keeps going through my head is Rock of Ages but the words are different;
Rock O’Bama
Hear our plea
As we blindly worship Thee
Our Messiah heaven-sent
Wilt Thou be our President?
Founding Fathers you are done
Rock O’Bama
You’re The One.
Rock O’Bama
Bring us change
Society please rearrange
Take the wealth from those who work
Give it to the ones who shirk
Marxist nation is Thy plan
Rock O’Bama
You da Man.
Galt,
Another hit! Let me know when your Greatest Hits becomes available for download (provided I can get one for a half-pound of stock certificates).
finfan,
I’ll sell it to you for one box of rocks. I’ll send it to my Congresswoman’s office where it can fill in for her on her days off.
Concerned Citizen,
Were you a concerned enough citizen to write your Democrat representatives, urging them to stop trying to get low-income people into home ownership?
I was. They weren’t interested.
Zoe Lofgren (D) wasn’t interested.
Barbara Boxer (D) wasn’t concerned.
Diane Feinstein (D) didn’t care.
But you’re right. This was Ronald Reagan’s fault.
Hearing the way Sarah Palin and John McCain have been inciting the crowds to riot and worst—did bring a song to mind—Neil Diamond’s—- Brother Loves Traveling Salvation Show. Are Sarah and John trying to incite as happened in the South causing racist’s riots or are they trying to incite like McCarthy did during his period of investigations, or are they just trying to bring/tear down democracy in the US. Perhaps they are the domestic terrorist with whom we should really be concerned.

Buy two fast food meals at Burger King for $8 and pay an extra 1 CENT. Buy a meal for two at the Cheesecake Factory for $32 and pay a whopping extra 4 CENTS. What do the extra “CENTS” represent? How much “more” you’ll pay if Measure B/BART passes this November. $13-36 per year for the average SCCo. taxpayer…a small amount to pay to finally bring BART to San Jose! Yes to Obama/Biden, Measure B and Prop. 1A (high-speed rail)!!
John #4,
Concerned West Side Cheri writing to Zoe, DiFi, and Boxer about the subprime induced meltdown? Not so much.
But Concerned West Side Cheri writing to ABC to complain about the judges on Dancing With the Stars? Heck yeah!
Too funny.
#6, surely you jest, ” a small amount
to pay to finally bring BART to San Jose “.
that is until the next election cycle begins.
Give it up Tony… BART to SJ is a dead issue. I think even Dr. Feel Good Guardino must know that. He’s been noticeably scarce of late. I expect to see his face on a milk carton any day now.
#8 Is it possible that Novice is digging up comments or eves dropping in on communications or just guessing about what, where and to whom West Side Cheri has been communicating? Or is it that novice is working for the Bush/Chenny Administration—you know wire tapping US citizen under the pretense of homeland security. Who and what are you Novice? Should we be worried?
I would like to mention a simple fact—some of those topics are real “OLD” !!!!!!!!
