Well don't I feel like a total dunce. Having followed Bruce Springsteen since he first appeared on the scene I had no idea that the Jersey Girl tune was not his own. I am thoroughly ashamed but I still love that tune.

That's the truth.
From the 2nd link provided my rono, re: gold: “I think that the low turmoil rallies are done,” Button said. “The path is still higher, but it's a lot more volatile.”
PRFCX TUHYX PRCPX SWVXX paid end-of-month dividends and on the face of it, reduced my daily loss by half. No green (black) in sight, here. The "best" performers were down by a penny (PRCPX) and FBP was down by 2 cents/share. ... I have a limit orde…
Springsteen and the E Street Band covering Tom Waits: "Jersey Girl." So mellow. Just right. Soothes the tortured soul after exposure all day long to the shitty politics.

After he left I discovered he had installed a blocker in the cable that prevented my recording any future programs - try as I might.
We are surrounded by slimebags and fart-sniffers, eh?
West Wing had THE best writers! And a marvelous cast. I recall some guest stars who showed up for just a few or several shows. One was the Protagonist in "Weeds." I roared laughing at those episodes. MARY LOUISE PARKER. So full of physical pulchritu…
Morning rituals? I get up at the crack of noon. Two cups of coffee. Sometimes Starbucks in the coffee maker, sometimes Keurig. My wife does the buying. After the third day, the leftover stuff is thick as syrup. Just right. Take it hot and black. ("…

Leo McGarry was Chief of Staff, I recall. The Veep on the show was, according to the script, not well liked. But a fine actor; he was one of the student clowns on the road-trip in Animal House!

The Orange regime continues to flood the zone with all sorts of varied illegal, shocking, norm-busting, unconstitutional junk. The news we see or hear can get only so much of it across. There are only so many hours in a day. Today I learned that the…
