For a little Labor-oriented fun - Johnny Cash, One Piece at a Time

For a more serious Labor Day song, go on over to appalachiablues' thread, Sixteen Tons, Johnny Cash (I Owe My Soul to the Company Store)

That one has an important but somewhat depressing description of "company towns". And the video is, of course, excellent.

But being a Cash fan, I immediately thought of this somewhat more humorous tune. Enjoy!

A reminder that RFK Jr was always a GOP Op

ICYMI : full video of Josh Shapiro speaking at Philly rally

And there are other videos there from the rally and MSNBC's coverage.

Anyone else catch "Higher Ground" as they were filing out of the rally? Very appropriate.

Not sure if it was this version, but it might have been. This is my fave. (PFC versions are often my fave versions of songs, even for Ripple by the Dead.)

You beat me to it but I'll post this one anyway

Maryland: Please support Angela Alsobrooks for US Senate

She is up against your former Gov, Hogan, who is usually described as "moderate" and "popular".

She is black and female. Current 538 polling report shows her only 8 points ahead and below the 50% support line. As you know, 8 points can disappear rather quickly once the bashing and trashing starts.

It would be GREAT to lock in this Senate seat with this accomplished woman.

From NPR (back in May, just after the primary, but still relevant):

Bruce Cockburn - Free to Be

One of my favorite Bruce Cockburn songs.

This is a song to which most of us can relate. I'm posting this particular version because it is a live session from a few years ago, where Bruce talks about the relevance of the song today in the context of many terms that might not be familiar to youngsters (like switchboard), and what is the Western Guard that the song references.

JHFC it's not "cult-of-personality", it is CULT OF REALITY

You mentioned yourself the difficult logistics of replacing him on the ticket at this point.

Beyond that, there's this real fear -

If President Biden is removed from the ballot, the GOP will sue and keep the party off the ballot in a number of states

OR are you saying that is only "conspiratorial" and not something to be concerned about?

I'm sorry if some people feel they are personally being attacked. If those "some people" aren't politicians or media, then they should realize it ain't about them! If they ARE media or politicians - well if they really believe their position then fight for it, but they are undermining the Democratic candidate and they should be ready to shoulder the vitriol they will receive for that.

The "Crime Family"

This appears to be an old list, and some things are missing. But it's a pretty long list as is. (This came from a friend's post on FB; I assume the 4-para limit doesn't apply. Obviously can't link for privacy reasons.)
