Republicans are now more likely to blame Biden and Democrats for the insurrection than they are Trump and Republicans

This is bad, They have lost touch with reality. It will damage the country. Republicans in Congress oppose the commission because they are afraid of the truth (and their voter base).

How can anyone blame Biden and the Democrats? Why would they not want to certify an election that they won? It makes no sense.

Covers: The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)

“The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)” (1970) was the last song Fleetwood Mac founder Peter Green recorded with the band. It hit #10 on the UK charts but was not successful in the US. It was on the remastered version of the album Then Play On. I thought of it because it was covered in the tribute to Peter Green organized by Mick Fleetwood which I just got in a Blu-ray/2 CD set. The original inspired a lot of hard rock covers.

It was written by Gamble and Huff, famous Philadelphia writers and producers. Most people will know it from the Biz Markie record. I didn’t know about the Scott record until I read this tweet today.

James M. Cain

James M. Cain was born on July 1, 1892. He was born in Annapolis, MD and worked for the Baltimore Sun early in his career. He is best known for three novels that were also successful films – Double Indemnity, The Postman Always Rings Twice and Mildred Pierce. These are tough crime novels that are well worth reading. The films are good, too.
