That’s Keifer and Shawna Thompson, a husband and wife duo better known as Thompson Square. Below is Taylor Swift and The Civil Wars (Joy Williams and John Paul White) singing Safe and Sound from the Hunger Games soundtrack.
This is an open thread.

Saw this coming. This was always the danger. So now having provoked a theatrical “war on women,” and coming to the supposed rescue, women are reassigned under the bus. He takes it all back, and even actually does a fuzzy wording trick that actually ROLLS back the EEOC rules. Who’s war on women?

Lots of info in that report, but I’m particularly curious how Fluke herself would respond to this:
If she can support it, she’s not what she says she’s about.
Yep, I saw that coming, too. He truly doesn’t care about women, but he does care about reaping the political benefits of creating this storm. If women are worse off after he’s worked his “magic”, who cares? Like everything else, it’s Obama for Obama, all the time.
I am shocked, shocked, I tell you.
I think it’s time for us to get the word out so the folks who care so much about women’s reproductive issues can righteously demonstrate their intellectual and moral consistency by raising their rhetorical ire at Obama. You know, take a stand.

Obama means never having to take a stand.
I hope you crosspost that here.
I plan to queue it up for tomorrow morning, if that’s okay. The blog is on west coast time, though, so I always get confused about when to post for. If I post it for 6:00 AM there, it should post at 9:00 EDT, right?
Something like that. (I always get confused too.)
It appears “no one” has missed me! I won’t stand for it I tell you!

We miss all our friends when they are gone.

just read this on Hot Air….

From the discussion, updates, and links, it appears to be a pretty routine update. Something that every president has done since the basic rule was put into place. Yawn.
Ace and Legal Insurrection say it’s a big nothing too. The fact it was a Friday doc dump is what sent up red flags.
sorry but nothing is “a big nothing” with Obama….it’s always a calculated “something”…I understand that these executive orders have been passed since FDR but this one contains new elements and it also comes parallel with major new hirings for FEMA….something isn’t right here….yoiu cannot trust this administration….and, more importantly, you can’t let your guard down…
I hope it is nothing. ;roll:
Here’s Krugman making an observation about hedge funds and Obama.
In other words, Obama was available to be bought. That part is correct. The rest of the post about how hedge funds’ love for Obama has turned into “blind spitting hatred” is over the top. The source article is from the New Republic which as of last week is pretty much owned by OFA, so grain of salt.
He’s on a vitriolic and hysterical roll lately. Earlier today he was raising alarm bells at a study that showed a serious loss of employer-based health care. Which is to be expected somewhat, what with upwards of 20% of Americans shifting in the job market. Of course he’s saying this makes the health care law even MORE important, except he fails to note the whole law is based on the domination of employer-based policies, which are hovering close to 50%, down from over 70% before the downturn and the health care law.
To my mind, he missed two points on purpose, because they hurt his boss (Obama): a) the healthcare law is unworkable because of this. The foundation upon which it was built is eroding before our eyes, and before it takes effect. And b), the health care law is partially to blame for this development, maybe even as much as the economic situation. Which is exactly what I warned about when they were talking about passing this monstrosity in the first place. More shifting of the burden downstream, to the working and lower middle classes.

Following his win in Puerto Rico today, Romney staff wrestled Mitt to the ground before he could declare “Ich bin ein Island Mexican”.
Aren’t you supposed to be occupying something?
They’re back…
A tweet encouraging the Occupy Wall Street movement to ‘kill’ police officers during clashes in Zuccotti Park is being investigated.
The post, which was directed to a page on Ustream showing live footage of the protests, was allegedly written under the Twitter handle ‘smackema1′ on Saturday at 11.39pm.
It said: ‘we wont make a difference if we dont kill a cop or 2′.
