screw it

Screw politics. screw single issue voters. Screw Glen Beck and his insane revisionist history. Screw all the uber-religious-hate-mongers.

Let's have just a bit of common sense. Let's really look at what made America great -- not the nativist, racist, ranting of folks so frightened of losing anything they have they risk losing EVERYTHING they have.

Get out and vote. Vote Democratic simply because the Republicans will want to shut down the Government while we have two wars and a huge financial crisis.

In the meantime -- how about some music to bring us back to our senses.



http://www.jazzvideoguy.tv presents the immortal Count Basie featuring Clark Terry on trumpet, Wardell Gray- tenor sax, Buddy DeFranco-clarinet, Freddie Green-guitar, Jimmy Lewis-bass and Gus Johnson-drums.

In between Big Bands in the mid-50s, Basie led this smaller group.
