To get us in the mood for tonight’s loonfest … I mean, Republican debate, here’s Them Crooked Vultures, with Joshua Homme, John Paul Jones, and the beast Dave Grohl on drums, playing “Elephants” from their great album Them Crooked Vultures.

It's funny how people like different types of music. That was awful.

I prefer Spinning in Daffodils, but Elephants is a nice song. Hell, there really isn't a song from their album that I don't like, they're all good.

It'll be interesting and probably a disaster. These wingnut candidates are used to Fox News appearances. CNN isn't going to be so kind and there might be trick questions about history, economics, etc.

On NPR they were saying that the debate was gonna get creamed by the NHL game, at least locally in NH.

Man, I sure hope so. I normally don't look at train wrecks, but for some reason I can't wait to see this one. I'm so ashamed.

Also, screw our current primary system, NH really doesn't deserve all the political power they have, and they're spoiled about it.

CNN has tried way too hard lately to be Fox News Lite, so I'll be pleasantly flabbergasted if they ask anything even approaching a challenging question.

Keep in mind that the Republicans have made a minor change that's going to make this season popcorn worthy. They've gone to proportional instead of first past the post for delegates in each primary/caucus. If you've only got one real candidate, no big deal. If you have two staying close the season can go on right up to the convention. If you have a third (or more) stealing delegates it can turn into a convention battle.

Private jet business on the increase
The use of private jets for business is once again on the increase after a dramatic 35% fall during the recession. In April of 2008, private jet travel reached its peak, but fell upon the onset of the economic crisis and the perception that private jet travel was luxurious. Today, travel is 10% below the April 2008 peak, as indicated by JSSI, a company that services airplanes and as reported in USA Today. Flight time was up 11.4% in the first quarter of 2011 compared to a year earlier and up 7% just in April. Manufacturing of airplanes and parts has not yet rebounded.
But they need more tax cuts...or no taxes as some republicans propose
