John Lennon

without comments

 Last Thursday was the 68th anniversary of Lennon’s birthday.

 If you want to spend a few moments with this genius, read this terrific essay from the New Republic.

I came of age at a time when WIngs were popular.  Band on the Run was a staple of my transistor tuned to 800 CKLW.  My first McCartney / Lennon album was in fact Wings Over America.  In terms of the Beatles, I would say at first, I was a Paul fan.

I had friends whose parents were Beatle fans, unlike my own parents, who were more in line with Perry Como and Frank Sinatra.  My exposure to the Beatles came through my friends.

Shortly before he was killed, I read Lennon’s great Playboy interview. I became an instant Lennon fan where I had been marginal to that point.  I remain so today.

Violence abounds.

Cincinnati radio talk show host Bill Cunningham has decried that blacks will burn 100 cities to the ground should Obama lose the election.

Chris Buckley, the son of National Review founder William, has resigned from his part time gig at the journal after coming out for Obama.

From the mag….

Chris says that his Obama endorsement has generated a “tsunami,” that e-mail at NRO has been running “oh, 700-to-1″ against him, and that there’s a debate about whether to boil him in oil or shoot him.

I guess “kill him” seems mild by comparison.

Scranton: Hell Hole

without comments

Several days ago, a supporter of McCain/Palin is alleged to have shouted, “kill him,” referring to Barack Obama.

There is some doubt to whether that actually happened and if it was in fact toward Obama that the statement was directed.

Sarah Palin appeared in Scranton the afternoon.

This time, it happened for real at 1:25 pm.

Via several sources today…….

Thought is that Obama is considering putting the Clintons away for good….

by putting her on the Supreme Court of the United States.

Supporting Obama is like walking in a minefield.
