When I grow up, I hope to be able to pack a suitcase half as well as this guy…but I wouldn’t bet on it. Packing (along with cutting grass and painting) rank high on my Stuff I Hate To Do list.

Sunday Talking Heads

A little bit of crazy is on the menu with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on ABC’s ‘This Week’. Mahmoud is always good for a laugh or two. Bill Clinton is doing ‘Meet the Press’ and ‘Face the Nation while Karl Rove will be explaining how he was misunderstood and really does support Christine O’Donnell over at Fox.
Springsteen Sunday continues with one of my favorite’s, Jersey Girl, a song written by Tom Waits. The Springsteen version is included on the Live/1975-85 album and is somewhat better known than the Waits original.
Trivia: Waits noted in a 1980 interview, “I never thought I would catch myself saying ‘sha la la’ in a song.” It works.
`cause down the shore everything’s all right
You and your baby on a Saturday night
You know all my dreams come true
When I’m walking down the street with you
I like that. Happy Sunday.

I got no time for the corner boys
Down in the street making all that noise
Or the girls out on the avenue
`cause tonight i wanna be with you
Tonight i’m gonna take that ride
Across the river to the jersey side
Take my baby to the carnival
And i’ll take her on all the rides
`cause down the shore everything’s all right
You and your baby on a saturday night
You know all my dreams come true
When i’m walking down the street with you
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la i’m in love with a jersey girl
You know she thrills me with all her charms
When i’m wrapped up in my baby’s arms
My little girl gives me everything
I know that some day she’ll wear my ring
So don’t bother me man i ain’t got no time
I’m on my way to see that girl of mine
`cause nothing matters in this whole wide world
When you’re in love with a jersey girl
Sha la la la…
I see you on the street and you look so tired
I know that job you got leaves you so uninspired
When i come by to take you out to eat
You’re lyin’ all dressed up on the bed baby fast asleep
Go in the bathroom and put your makeup on
We’re gonna take that little brat of yours and drop her off at your mom’s
I know a place where the dancing’s free
Now baby won’t you come with me
`cause down the shore everything’s all right
You and your baby on a saturday night
Nothing matters in this whole wide world
When you’re in love with a jersey girl

Sorry for the low output of late. A hundred things happening and none of them deal with blogging. I’ll be back on it as soon as I get the tire changed.

Sunday Morning Talking Heads
August 29, 2010 By

Katrina five years later, the Beck fest, education and the midterms are all on the slate today. What, no mosque ranting?
I’m going to spend some time this morning tending to the garden. The high humidity has done a number on them and I’ve been negligent in caring for them over the last week. Sadly I’m going to have to scrap the red bell pepper plants. They’ve picked up some horrid disease and it seems to make sense at this point to just get rid of them and start from scratch.
Happy Sunday. Open thread.

I did a real stupid thing last night. I attempted to move a television set from one room to another.
It was dumb for two reasons: a) the damn thing weighed at least 7000 lb. and b) I have a history of lower back pain. The painkillers haven’t kicked in yet so if you see anything in my posts today resembling this – $&!(#$!!* – you’ll know why. Or if you don’t see any posts today, you’ll also know why.
The hot topic for the Sunday morning talking heads will no doubt be THE story of the century, the New York mosque and the end of life in America as you all know it should it be built. Let us know if you hear anything else of note.
Happy Sunday. Open thread.
$&!(#$!!*!&
