The new side has some of the most imaginative horn arrangements ever put on vinyl. And yes, it is severely funky.

Hmm. Doesn't sound all that funky to me.
Ever heard an album called "Reach For It" by George Duke? Now that's funky.
I know, I know.

The Romnesia nickname is perfect. Here's a partial list, just off the top of my head, of his egregious flip flops. Some of these are from a few years ago...some just in the last few weeks or months.
Abortion
AGW
Gun control
Gay rights
Minimum wage
His own healthcare plan
The legacy of Reagan/Bush
His own ideology, from "progressive moderate" to "severely conservative"
Etc

North Korea Threatens Violent Response to Propaganda Campaign
North Korea threatened on Friday to attack the South if activists proceeded with a plan to send leaflets across the border criticizing the North Korean regime. South Korea’s military said it would immediately strike back if the North did so.
The exchange of saber-rattling, though hardly unprecedented, comes at a politically sensitive time in South Korea, where a presidential election is to be held in December and parties are highly attuned to how a surprise North Korean move might affect the outcome.
An umbrella group of anti-North Korean organizations, mostly led by defectors from the North, has announced plans to release balloons bearing propaganda leaflets on Monday in Imjingak, a South Korean village near the western border with North Korea. Activists have conducted similar balloon launches near the border before.
The statement Friday, released by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency, said that as soon as a balloon launch is detected, the North Korean People’s Army “without warning will start a merciless attack” targeting Imjingak and its surroundings. “The leaflets are a most undisguised act of psychological warfare, a violation of the armistice and an intolerable act of war,” the statement said. It urged South Koreans to leave the targeted area.
My how brave is the regime of the Kims! Someone plans to send over balloons that criticize their regime, they threat to fire artillery. Assholes isn't strong enough a term for them.

No evidence found of Al Qaeda role in Libya attack
The attack was "carried out following a minimum amount of planning," said a U.S. intelligence official, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a matter still under investigation. "The attackers exhibited a high degree of disorganization. Some joined the attack in progress, some did not have weapons and others just seemed interested in looting."
A second U.S. official added, "There isn't any intelligence that the attackers pre-planned their assault days or weeks in advance." Most of the evidence so far suggests that "the attackers launched their assault opportunistically after they learned about the violence at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo" earlier that day, the official said.
.... witnesses said members of the group that raided the U.S. mission specifically mentioned the video, which denigrated the prophet Muhammad.
Tarek, an off-duty police sergeant who asked that his full name be withheld to shield him from reprisals, said he came to the scene about an hour after the attack began and found militants blocking the road leading to the compound.
"They drew their guns on me and they told me that the Americans were abusing our prophet," he said. "That's why they said they had come to fight."
...
American officials now say there was no protest in Benghazi, only the attack, which began at 9:40 p.m. and continued at a second facility into the next morning.On Sept. 28, a spokesman for the director of national intelligence issued a statement calling what happened "a deliberate and organized terrorist attack carried out by extremists," some with Al Qaeda links or sympathies. The spokesman, Shawn Turner, said the intelligence community first believed the attack "began spontaneously following protests earlier that day at our embassy in Cairo" but that it had revised that initial assessment.
Republicans began portraying the attack as the work of Al Qaeda, and they accused the administration of deliberately seeking to downplay that possibility.
Now, however, said another official with access to the intelligence, "it may turn out that the initial assessment was not that far off."

Exactly. It's what happens when nativists, racists, xenophobes, reactionaries and Christian conservatives all feel backed into a corner by changing social forces.

The assault likely was pre-planned, but the date of it wasn't. The terrorists who carried it out had a plan that they brought into action when they saw an opportunity.

So, it was a spontaneous terrorist attack in response to the movie? That kinda blunts the whole 'Long-planned Al Qaeda attack in retaliation for Obama killing ObL, completely unrelated to the movie' idea, doesn't it?
Not that this will stop them. They're still arguing that 'Act of Terror' means something different when Obama says it.
