The fact that anyone can watch these two and then go vote for him is utterly despicable.

Especially since most of those same people will be voting for Walker over Warnock. Equally despicable.

Really? Why would a total phoney, preaching small town family values, with a family full of teenage pregnancies, divorce, drugs and inter-family violence would be popular anywhere. And she is not even hot anymore.

I’m not a musician, can’t really play any instruments, and have a very rudimentary knowledge of theory, but one of the things that got me through some tough times in college in the 80’s was his and Coltrane’s output, a decade musically dominated by hair bands and synth pop. Even Miles sort of got into it with his cover of Time After Time.

I heard that Jaco was bipolar and attempted to deal with his condition by self- medicating. Tragically, he was beaten to death at a club after a dispute with a bouncer down here in Fort Lauderdale. A truly tragic loss of a rare talent.

She’s always had that vote, but if she’s being sincere, then ‘welcome’.

Palin and Begich said after results were announced Wednesday that they intend to remain in the November race.

Great to see the Jazz posts bandied about. Jazz (by way of mostly listening to AFN) got me through many a television-less night in West Germany (in the 1950s our residences did not have TV).

Alaskan voters wisely give a death panel like finale to the Palin campaign.

In the mid 80’s before Jaco was killed he used to frequent a number of NYC clubs. Folks said that he had his share of issues most likely due to his bipolar condition.

Yes, some people got the wrong impression of him. He had a condition, and he didn’t get the help he needed.

Many in Georgia would die before they voted for a Democrat.

Fabulous news. Palin loses. Democrat Mary Peltola wins special election. Love ranked voting.

Palin an issue obviously. Abortion too. First Democrat to win House Alaska seat since Begich and Hale Boggs died in 1972.

Kevin McCarthy better put his tape measure away. He was a bit too eager to measure the curtains in the Speaker’s Office.
