Welcome to the Team DFH Freaky Friday Music party.
Last week was a "Hullabaloo".... Previously, "Team DFH Music Cabal"... before that, “Friday Night Feel Good Music" ... Because Team DFH operates more or less like a herd of cats, this diary series doesn’t actually have a formal name but we’re here on Friday Nights to let our hair down, maybe light up a fattie, and get some groovy on.
[intro totally stolen from mehitabel9 a couple weeks ago, cuz I like it.]
And I said Hoedown, not Shutdown! C'mon...!
In case you were sleeping or something and missed it somehow, see joanneleon's rec listed diary: Liberal Shiny Objects ... it's spot on.
If you have a secure job with a steady income, count your blessings.
Without a new budget, the US government will shut down at midnight on Friday.
If that occurs, some 800,000 government employees will be barred from working and will not be paid, government lending will cease and national parks and other government-run sites will close.
In the event of a shutdown, the US military would continue to operate but troops would not be paid until the deadlock was broken. bbc
This sort of thing can be really bad for your health Also. All y'all.
Repub's of course, I expect this 900 % from them, all bat channels, all the time. But hey, the Democrats in Washington ... well they are on our side, right? They're not as frightful bad as the other guys... I mean, wtf, don't they love us anymore?
I don't know I guess they could still tweak it or something.
Hail Mary. Full of grace...
Raise your glass to the hard working people
Let's drink to the uncounted heads
Let's think of the wavering millions
Who need leaders but get gamblers instead
Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
Empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
And a parade of the gray suited grafters
A choice of cancer or polio
And when I look in the faceless crowd
A swirling mass of grays and
Black and white
They don't look real to me
Or don't they look so strange
Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's think of the lowly of birth
Spare a thought for the rag taggy people
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
Let's drink to the two thousand million
Let's think of the humble of birth
