Occupy Your Time at a Protest Nearby

Glenn Beck (remember him?) called Jon Stewart a moron for comparing the Occupy Wall Street movement to the Tea Party movement. I wouldn't go that far, but it is clear they are quite different. For example:

1. The Tea Party was old, white, and rich  retired, distinguished, and rich.
2. The Tea Party is not brainwashed like Herman Cain 98% of African-Americans.
3. The Tea Party had the country's best interest in their own money on their mind. (Got my mind on the money and the money on my mind -- the only thing they have in common with anyone black except for Allen West, Herman Cain, Michael Steele, and Clarence Thomas)
4. The Tea Party should have gotten have never gotten arrested.
5. The Tea Party is a grass roots movement fully funded by the billionaire Koch Brothers and sponsored by FOX.
6. The Tea Party protests were respectful and never angry.

Sit Back, Relax, and Listen To The 8 Track

Way back when, before the Walkman, CD players, mp3's, and the iPod, people listened to music on a post turntable creation called the 8 track. Life may have seemed simpler then, but listening to music wasn't. Having the in-dash 8 track in your Vega was a great way to listen to Henry Mancini, Bob Dylan, and the Spinners from 1965 until the end of the 70's.

Winter in Miami: Love to New York, Southern California, and the Cold

I woke up from a dream about this Tradewinds song last night. I saw myself thinking about Jan and Dean's Surf City and driving this:

or maybe this:

but it could have been this:

(Thank God it wasn't this:)

In any case, this is what we do in Miami in the winter.
