AdLib

Americans Elect feels like a Koch-Brothers-type Tea Partying of the Left and Indies. Exploit the anger and frustration of the constituency and drive them together under a populist tent...that's in fact owned by the wealthy.

Keeping in mind our friends on the East Coast preparing for Hurricane Irene, this week's music theme is about weather, stormy, sunny and everything in between.

AdLib is online. Emerald1943 : ...' AdLib : See you next week! AdLib : But, it does look like time to bring tonight's edition of Vox Populi to a close. Thanks Emerald...

The truth is that I am not political, at least in the sense that I don't support any parties or candidates (though I did fight a zoning law once to be able to create the Earth in a non-residential area).

If I was President and Congress was like, "No way we're taxing rich people and stuff!" I would be so like, "Uh-uh, you're gonna tax rich people, bitch!" and they would be so like, "Damn! Okay! We'll tax rich people, just get out of my face!"

For those of us who don't say "Happy Birthday" on the anniversary of his passing away, this weekend's music thread is dedicated to celebrating the talent and impact of a man named Elvis Aaron Presley.

AdLib : Well, looks like it's time to call it a night for this edition of Vox Populi! Thanks Khirad and cheers to everyone else for a great edition!...

Happy 2nd Anniversary to all of our fellow Planeteers! Yep, PlanetPOV's been in orbit for two years now and you can help The Planet kick off its 3rd year with a bang by supporting our donation and membership drive!

Would you rather be pushed off into the sea on an ice floe or hit by a train? This is not so much a literal choice of ways to die as it is a figurative choice for voters in electing either Mitt Romney or Rick Perry.

In honor of the GOP's new motto, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste...according to liberal elitists!", this weekend's music thread is about thinking and imagining. At least I think it is...if I'm remembering correctly.
