   I’ve read our U.S.Constitution a zillion times; article II says you just have to be 35 years old, and been a resident within the USA for 14 years. Article XXII says you can’t be elected more than twice. Does anyone want to guess how many people could be elected President?

   Just when you thought the idiocy on ‘The View’ was over…..

   Joy Behar: No More Saints Due to Modern Medicine

   Saints were psychotic and advances in modern medicine have essentially wiped them off the planet. That’s “the view” of comedian Joy Behar, as expressed on national television Wednesday.

   So Behar thinks that the only reason people dedicate their lives to helping the poor and hungry in the name of God…..is because they are psychotic?

   The word stupid just doesn’t do that woman justice.

   It seems I spoke to soon. A new contender has emerged:

   Dumber and Dumber

   A guy named Virgilio Cintron, who lived here in midtown Manhattan, died in the last 24 hours.

   His roommate, James O’Hare, and another pal named David Dalaia, decided since Cintron wouldn’t be using his last Social Security check they’d cash it and use it for him.

   They figured they had a way for Cintron to cash his own check, even though he was dead.

   So they put Cintron — still dead — in a desk chair with wheels and rolled him down to the check cashing store.

   Witnesses recalled seeing Cintron’s head and limbs moving around in a way clearly recognizable as a dead guy.

   In the continuing spirit of a breather from all things political, I hope you all enjoy this.

   I lived in an apartment that was owned by a local blue musician. Those guys would play at night and it would come up thru the air vents. I always enjoyed it, but blues has never been a passion of mine, unless you consider some of Van Morrison’s stuff. I do love Jeff Beck. He has always been a favorite of mine. – Lorica

   As great a players as those men are, nobody did it like Stevie Ray.

   Best player since RJ and Jimi.

    The best blues player I’ve heard who’s currently with us (God bless you, SRV) is a guy who goes by the name of Brother Yusef. He’s most often found in the Downtown Disney district next to Disneyland in Anaheim. Plays the most jaw-dropping acoustic blues you could ever dream of hearing. Check him out at http://www.brotheryusef.com/main_title_page.htm.

    Love blues, and it really irritated me that when John Lee Hooker died at the same time Carrol O’Conner did, all the news could do was go on and on and on about O’Connor and practically ignored Hooker.

    What did it say on the bluesman’s tombstone? “Didn’t wake up this morning.”

    Loved the clip, thanks ST. All those guys are great, but I gotta tell ya, when Clapton finally got his chance to solo towards the end, his tasteful phrasing and the ultra smooth delivery of his chops were the icing on the cake for me. Awesome.

    I aint ignorin’ ya darlin’! I loves’it!

    When I’m back in Japan, I got the itunes jamming in the shop alllllllll day long……….long and strong on the blues! Teachin’ the local boys and girls what music SHOULD sound like. (J-Pop pretty much sucks, IMO)

    You’d love the Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival DVD. It includes all these artists and more.

    If you love the blues, get a hold of the old movie “Crossroads.” On the down side, you have to put up with Ralph Machio playing the kid who wants to learn the blues, but you also get a wonderful performance by Joe Seneca playing the old blues man who basically busts Ralph’s chops non stop, with the added benefit of blues by Ry Cooder and a story based around the legend of Robert Johnson selling his soul to the devil. Great film.

    Old bluesman: Go back home and let yo’ mama wipe your ass

    Kid: I don’t live at home.

    Old bluesman: Where you live?

    Kid: It’s like a school dormitory.

    Old bluesman: Oh, a school dormitory? Times is hard…times is haaarrrd.

    15.

    Seen that movue over 100 times.

    Don’t forget Steve Via’s chops in the duel scene. It isn’t blues, bt an added bonus none the less.
