Politicians never stay on laminated lists long.
And there is no way in hell it took him this long to search his conscience. That thing can't be bigger than a skittle.

So much for the idea that Cruz doing something self-promoting and strategically questionable was merely a caricature.
Consider me disappoinTED. |

George Bernard Shaw was at a party once where he was introduced to the starlet du jour. They conversed for a bit and Shaw asked her if she would sleep with him for a million pounds.
"For a million pounds! Of course!" she replied.
Shaw asked if she would sleep with him for a shilling.
"Mr. Shaw! What sort of lady do you think I am?"
"That, my dear, has already been established; all that remains is to agree on a price."

I looked for it too. Nothing. Could not even find the "hit single" discussed in Wikipedia. RIP, indeed. He always put on a high energy fun show.

Ask and you shall receive. Kind of. Not really funk, but definitely funky, Boogaloo was a music that sprung up in Spanish Harlem in the 60s, influenced by latin music of the time, including heavy Cuban influence, and also funk and R&B. A great document of this music is found on Secret Stash, which is just a fantastic local record label. Their Boogaloo album is great, and turned me on to this music. I also just love the album cover.

One of the biggest Boogaloo hits is not on the above album. It is by Joe Cuba (who was Puerto Rican). It is, to say the least, infectious. Today's Daily Dose is "Bang Bang":

Re: I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.
I guess I'm impressed how well HRC handled the debate, and how little difference it will make. Hope I'm wrong about the latter.
