I got some video on my flip but I have to wait until I get home to upload it. He played that thing for three songs The band was very cool about allowing him in their circle.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Owen is too cute.
Oh, that is adorable! Thank you for sharing, Cashmere.
And thank you everyone for your kind comments yesterday. Off to cooking with mom!
Trumpet playing Owen is too cute.
Wee trumpeter! Killz me ded.
wow. Quiet.
I've been shocked into silence at the idiocy coming out of the White House this morning
"Look, I'm sure there are some of my friends saying, 'I thought this guy was a market guy — what happened to him?'" Bush said. "Well, my first instinct wasn't to, you know, lay out a huge government plan. My first instinct was to let the market work, until I realized, being briefed by the experts of how significant this problem became. And so, I decided to act and act boldly.
“It turns out that there's a lot of interlinks through the financial system. The system had grown to a point where a lot of people were dependent upon each other and a collapse of one part of the system wouldn't just affect a part of the financial markets, it would affect ... capacity to borrow money, to buy a house or to finance a college loan. It'd affect the ability of a small business to get credit. In other words, the systemic risk was significant, and it required a significant response. And Congress understands that, and we'll work to get things done as quickly as possible.”
"My first instinct was to not give a shit, then smarter people than me pointed out that hey, there might be a real problem here. Turns out [TURNS OUT!?!] this shit is actually kind of complicated and could fuck people up real bad Who knew?"
It turns out that there's a lot of interlinks through the financial system.
Ya think?

... I just have ... no words. This is why he was a lousy business man and rotten president. If he wasn't surrounding himself with yes men, read the newspaper, and paid attention to the world around him maybe the government would have figured this out BEFORE everyone else did and it got to a crisis. I want a president who can actually think.
Okay maybe I do have words.
I'm going to watch Owen and go look at cute overload and save my sanity.
