Diary 12/20/16 - Trump’s Theme Song (and God)

Sometimes a song represents one’s feelings much better than anything else.  This one is about relentless blind greed, sad topic, beautiful song - and outrageously appropriate in light of yesterday’s Electoral College performance.  “The Last Resort” was written by Glenn Frey and Don Henley and sung by the Eagles and I hereby rename it TRUMP’S SONG in honor of the coming pillage.

It seems that the people have spoken with Trump winning yet more electoral votes (I imagine politicians desperate to save their skins.).  Yes sir re, the meek will be falling in line.  

If only a truly massive amount of voters would start exerting pressure on their representatives, bet we’d be seeing some hardening of resolve.  But, where are those concerned American rational fact-over-faith citizens?
  
What about the next huge last-chance opportunity?

That is, getting Merrick Garland his Supreme Court nomination vote on January 3, 2016

Senators will never do it, unless they start receiving tens of thousands, nay, hundreds of thousands of voters contacting them and explicitly demanding it.  I don’t understand why every ‘liberal’ political organization in American isn't pulling out all stops to get their constituents involved in this one all important campaign.  The necessary Checks and Balances of our Democratic government demand it !  Merrick Garland MUST BE SEATED ON THE SUPREME COURT ! ! !

LAST RESORT - a musical interlude

{yea, sorry about all the commercials, they need the money  ;- )  }

Well pals, I'm turning 59 in a few days and I am off on a short adventure this weekend.  Always dreamed of jumping out of an airplane to see what that first step feels like and then what it's like falling through the sky.

Seems a nice time for a thought provoking musical interlude.

You nailed Don Henley's true meaning of this song 
The pictures give a lot of sense to the lyrics. 
GOOD JOB! Cover by Tony Öhrn.

Being conservative, at first I had my doubts, since I go way back with Henley's original,
still, didn't take long to give it up and appreciate this excellent rendition of the Eagle's Last Resort.  
Tony Öhrn did the song justice.  The pics did a good job of nailing it too.
