I had this bookmarked a long time ago but never got around to watching it. But it’s very prescient knowing what we know now…
Leonard Cohen is dead and Donald Trump is President-elect. What a strange world we live in. “Everybody Knows” – Leonard Cohen
Still recovering from the US Election results, I ended up listening to Springsteen’s “The Ghost of Tom Joad” album this morning which seemed like a good fit with what happened in the Rust Belt last week (tellingly, in the New York Times story in that last link, the man who inspired the Springsteen song I’m posting […]
“I Voted For the Middle Finger, The Wrecking Ball” – The Atlantic I am tired of the machine rolling over us—all of us. The Clinton machine, the Republican machine, the big media, investment banking, hedge fund carrying interest, corporatist, lobbying, influence peddling, getting elected and immediately begin fundraising for the next election machine—they can all […]

With only a couple days left, if you want a nice break from the non-stop US election coverage, why not check out “Undecided: The Movie” on Netflix? This hilarious mockumentary follows two “undecided voters” as they interact with various candidates and try to decide who to support. Shot with the actual US election campaign as […]
