BBC Radio 2 had a bunch of modern bands play songs from Sgt. Pepper, with mostly good results (I’ve never heard of “The Magic Numbers” who massacre “She’s Leaving Home”, and I hope never to again. The rest of the bands including Travis and The Stereophonics do good though). It’s on YouTube in 4 parts: 1 (Sgt. Pepper, A Little Help From My Friends), 2 (Getting Better, Fixing a Hole), 3 (She’s Leaving Home, Lovely Rita), and 4 (Sgt. Pepper Reprise).

Apparently Jared Allen’s a big fan of it, so it could work well.

Cheap LED light bulbs that last 60 years, contain no mercury, save energy, and don’t make your house look like Silent Hill? Yes please!

The ‘Hawk collects proverbs from around the world.

New technology allows harvesting energy from human bodies.

Mark Steyn on the Geert Wilders trial and then on the stimulus bill. (Program note: Mark will be subbing for Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 3rd and 4th).

…and here comes the next one not to pay his taxes, right on time (a bit more here). This just isn’t common elitism, it’s more like the Democrats are the Party of Marie Antoinette. “Let them pay taxes!”

Sounds plausible. They’ve tried a couple of times to break out of just being a computer company already.

That’s not completely a surprise.

ED-209 thinks nothing could go wrong with this.

I don’t think it really works that way.

It just never ends.

A temporary payroll tax cut instead of the pork bill currently being incorrectly called “stimulus”.

Obama stated during the campaign that nobody should turn their heat above 72 degrees to save energy, but he’s keeping the White House much warmer.

Obama’s rehired Samantha Power, an advisor who was dropped by the campaign almost a year ago for publicly calling Hillary “a monster”. She also is an advocate of the US invading Israel on behalf of the Pallies. That’s not really the sort of “change” people had in mind I think.

For real this time. He promises.

Here’s one for comedic effect.

Not practical – taxpayers have jobs. And Congress knows it.

The Democrat leadership won’t do anything about Chris Dodd, but it sounds like voters might.

A guy who looks alarmingly like Ethan Suplee on a bender deserted from the Army and wrote a book so obviously fictional that Kos and the media can’t see anything wrong with it. And don’t miss the comments.

Yeah, I think nearly everyone has noticed.

It’s a good thing we have quality intelligence.

A Republican has introduced a bill to give all US citizens the same immunity from paying taxes that Rangel and Geithner enjoy. You just write “Rangel Rule” on your 1040 and they can’t touch you. Love it.

Apparently it’s “Joe Hart”. He’s looking to sue US Airways for the plane that ditched in the Hudson.

Talk about unpopular.
