Drop Me Off In Harlem - Duke Ellington

Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me - Duke Ellington

Dems just got a new senator in Montana. All that's left is Virginia! Oh dear, don't hold your breath waiting for Virginia. The results won't be certified until the 27th, and the FBI were called in on Monday to investigate reports of "irregularities". Legal defenses are already being mount...

No, I haven't read Irvine Welsh. He wrote Trainspotting, though, is that right? Yes, I guess that would meet the 'foul language' requirement!

Who Wants Love? - Billie Holiday
