AFTER THE DNC, FEELING A LITTLE SPIRITUAL
Ken-Dogger: Can’t wait to hear this, you guys practicing?
Guys: Yep, listen… “Oh Happy Day (oh happy day)
KD: Wow, guys into spirituals this morning…
Lead Singer Dog: Yes, but the lyrics bog us down.
KD: It’s not the words that matter, it’s the feelings you get…
Pip Dog #1: You mean when he washed?
KD: When he washed, I thought it was when Jesus walked?
LSD: Dude, stick with the feelings…it washes the sins away.
COSO Fave Songs theme, Clash style
If Music Could Talk
(Not really sure what it is about this song, think it's really the infectious undertone in the beat and the sashaying way it meanders, love it)
A possible projection of the future...
“There is some concern that we are going to see some people who are just like, ‘Nope, this is all I want. Why go out and do that when I can stay home with my partner, my virtual buddy?’”

GET READY
PRICE CONTROLS...this will be the new GOP counterstrategy against Kamala's economic plans
“‘It’s the economy, stupid!’ The monstrous creation called ‘Bidenomics’ is the real issue in this election. It’s resting peacefully at the bottom of the sea, but it’s not too late to shuffle those deck chairs! It's called price controls!.”-DW

Jim Hightower on WORK and Walz' Riches...
This is Jim Hightower saying ... Big Billionaire Bosses like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos bark that it's time for employees to double down on the "work ethic" -- yet there's no ethical core to the work they demand. Bosses don't get it, but what's happening today is not merely a labor rebellion but a revolution for humanity to be valued for itself ... and for workers to become their own bosses.

She was the first female editor of an American newspaper.

They would be demonized for years by less liberated males.
