Waits sounds feisty on the new record. I heard most of it a week or so ago.
This is his very first Top 10 album, BTW. Good for him.

Waits has a distinctive voice, described by critic Daniel Durchholz as sounding "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car."

Update: Dueling versions between D.C. police, protesters at convention center
By Saturday, police and protesters were still giving divergent accounts of what occurred when more than 500 people gathered to protest a dinner held by Americans for Prosperity, a conservative free-market group affiliated with the tea party movement. Video clips showed tense shouting and shoving at the doors, which left two older women dazed on the ground.
Daily Caller (wingnut site) has video of the old women being knocked to the ground as the crowd attacks people leaving the event. They also have video of the roadblocks, several white young men blocking a black man in an SUV. He rolls down the window and tells them he has a 2 year old in the car just wants to go home.
D.C. Council Member Tommy Wells (D-Ward 6) read about the protest on Twitter and went to the scene. He said he was told that D.C. police had their own video supporting their version of events and he was waiting to see it.
“My understanding is that the driver was not impaired,” Wells said. “He was scared when people began jumping up and down on his car . . . This is a very difficult job for police. Their job is keeping the protesters and people coming out of the convention center safe. Last night, tensions seemed to be rising.”
Hopefully the police will make their video available to the public.

They might keep it around in case some moonbat accuses them of police brutality or something but I don't know if they're required to make it public. Maybe if someone files a freedom of info request for it. They film mostly to protect themselves from accusations of police brutality and evidence against the people they arrest. they aren't filming for the purpose of informing the public.

But they are producing the material in the position of government officials. Thus it's technically public domain. They have to come up with a relatively strong reason to not release it (protecting innocents, investigations, etc.) AFAIK.

Cain is talking about the 'Chilean model.'
A recent report by the Chilean government brought more grim news, forecasting that as many as half of all workers won't be able to save enough to receive the minimum pension when they retire—even after paying into their accounts for 30 years—and will therefore rely on government subsidies. More than 17 percent of Chile's retirees now continue working because they can't afford to live on their pensions, according to that study, and another 7 percent want to work, but can't find jobs.

Global News spoke with Nathan Brophy, who was there when a young woman was taken away by ambulance. He described a chaotic scene, and witnessed a man being arrested by police after trying to damage an ambulance.
Television news camera operators are also being confronted by angry protesters at the site. The Vancouver-based punk band D.O.A. took to the stage at the encampment minutes after the woman was taken away.

re: #255 Cheechako
Yes, that's true. I would bet the original tweet meant using GPS to track individuals. If that's the case, then Newt has no ides how GPS works. Every illegal in this country would have to agree to wear an ankle bracelet so they could be found.
Again, I don't think it means GPS tracking, but rather tracking someone via snail mail (UPS on the tweet, which I think may have meant to be USPS)
Again, in the case of my neighbor. Once a month he goes to our local PO, buys a money order and mails it to his family
He has to provide his info for the money order as well as a return address

I think the original tweeter meant USPS, and the tracking would work like sattv4u2 is saying.

See how style interferes with message? That's what I was talking about. Even Dark, who is not sympathetic to OWS, balked.

Maybe maybe not. Posts are always open to interpretation but I think this also reinforces my theory that it doesn't make any difference how information is presented. My post had minimal commentary attached. The woman overdoes and died, her fellow protesters attacked the ambulance, attacked reporters and then attended a rock concert. I really don't see how that makes me an asshole.

re: #266 Killgore Trout
I'm not saying you're an asshole, but I can see why people interpreted this comment as callous. Again, to repeat, even someone sympathetic to hardcore exposure of OWS. This is what happened with many older comments too.
If you feel nothing needs to be changed, good, but IMHO then it will get worse.

You added all the commentary necessary to appear completely assholish.
Yeah, I know. You don't care.

re: #251 Killgore Trout
It wasn't really intended as sarcasm. I was trying to highlight the callous party atmosphere. It's not a serious political or economic movement. They want to keep the party atmosphere to keep the attending rubes happy regardless of the things happening around them. Personally I find it sad, vapid and heartless.
You justified joking about that woman being maced by saying you had "no sympathy". Bit late to pretend you care now, don't you think?

Of course the dead woman's not happy but the show must go on. It's like Disney, they just hose off the ride and carry on like nothing happened.

Hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing. And it's done with taste too. ;) Sort of has a "Miss America" feel to it. Like a Trump™ production.
