I Can't Believe I Wasn't There
First Bruce does all of "The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle" and then he fucking brings out a newly-slimmed down Elvis Costello to perform Jackie Wilson's "Higher & Higher":
We saw Elvis this summer and I swear he was twice as big. Hope he's not sick.

Everything You Need To Know About Elmer Fudd's Joe Lieberman's Threat To Filibuster The Health Care Reform Bill:
The Lieberman family's financial ties to the health industry are no secret, yet their full extent remains unknown. During her husband's 2006 reelection campaign, Hadassah Lieberman's employment as a "senior counselor" to Hill & Knowlton, one of the world’s biggest lobbying firms, briefly erupted as an issue, especially because the clients she served were in the controversial pharmaceutical and insurance sectors. Exactly what she did for those clients has never been disclosed.Yet the putz who used to call himself a Democrat said today on Fox News (where else?), "If the public option plan is in there, as a matter of conscience, I will not allow this bill to come to a final vote."
A "matter of conscience" or a matter of his family's bank account?
Connecticut has to dump this guy, pronto. Sadly, this cannot happen until the asshole is up for reelection in 2012. You can sign a pledge to work to defeat Lieberboy here.
Stupak is as Stupak Does
("Excuse me ladies, can I control your uterus?")
By now, you've probably heard that a certain little Health Care bill passed in the House. And that its passing was reportedly enabled by a ginormous amendment written by one Bart Stupak (D-Mich) that basically tells women who need an abortion to go fuck themselves. Yet still, a whole bunch of Democrats voted against the final bill, the majority of which represent previously Republican districts and are up for reelection in 2010. So, in reality, the Democrats simply caved to the right, weakened the bill and still couldn't convince 39 Democrats to vote in favor of the bill (to be fair, one of those Democrats was Dennis Kucinich who voted against the bill because it favors insurance companies too much).
TBogg has suggested a way to tell the 64 Democrats who voted for the Stupak amendment the same thing they told the women of the United States: Go Fuck Yourselves. Go here to donate to Planned Parenthood in Stupak's honor (or in honor of one of these Congressman) and make sure you fill out the section that sends acknowledgments to their offices. Here's Stupak's address:

Watch a typical Republicant lie his ass off while waving a copy of the Constitution:
Balls of Steel
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) took to the floor Wednesday night to read the names of those who had died from lack of health insurance in Republican districts..."Is it really asking too much of us that we keep people alive?" Of course, Republicants tried to shut him up:

Wow, My Childhood Is Flashing Before My Eyes
First Vic Mizzy passes away and now Soupy Sales joins the ranks of the late greats. I was lucky enough to see a taping of Soupy's "kids" show back in the '60s, a pretty mind-blowing experience for a five year old:
Here's a complete show if you have the time. Amazing stuff:

R.I.P. Vic Mizzy
Vic Mizzy, the man responsible for 90% of your favorite TV theme songs has passed away at the ripe old age of 93. Perhaps you are familiar with some of these pop culture musical contributions courtesy of Mr. Mizzy:
The Addams FamilyHe wrote the theme to Quincy too! Although I doubt he was responsible for the show's punk music:
F Troop
Green Acres
Mister Ed
Petticoat Junction
My favorite Mizzy composition was not a theme song, however. It was a little piece of incidental music he composed for The Addams Family called "Gomez" and, in honor of Mr. Mizzy's passing, I'd like to share it with you:

UPDATE: He also wrote this (!) for cryin' out loud! The man rocked our world.
