No, I'm not talking about the Alanis Morissette song, whose lyrics don't exemplify irony.One of the ironies of the gun control crowd is that they would have men with guns come and take guns away from people who don't comply with their laws.  They would use violence against the non-violent all in the name of preventing violence!!!

We first came to you talking about the ¨Hey Jude¨ masterpiece recomposition of Joseph Ferrante, as well as talking about another two songs of him, namely, ¨Here comes a brand new day¨ and ¨Alone again¨.
This time we want to talk about another song of Joseph Ferrante, titled ¨Toilet World¨. ¨Toilet World¨ describes the world we live in, a world that will never change because it was made to be like that. No matter how many revolutions come and go, the ¨Toilet World¨ will always be the ¨Toilet World¨, because the nature of the human animal will always be the same.

The TSA's John Pistole, head of one of the government's most despised agencies, claims the TSA is "the gold standard" of aviation security. I'm not sure what is more infuriating - the claim that the TSA is effective, or the government comparing itself to a standard it repudiated long ago.

received this email yesterday about eminent clamp down on internet freedom & so thought anybody who care about freedom of expression & free speech should be aware

Dear Sophia Christina ,

Next month in Dubai, UN agency the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is voting on new rules, including some nasty surprises which could clamp down on the fundamental freedoms of citizens online.

Like all great operas there is a beginning middle and end. Rumblings about America's operatic decline continue. In recent times it has lingered in the media echo chamber, even after the Don Giovanni crescendo of 2008.

Though the discourse of the immediate post GFC period has been concerned with interlocking partisan debates about whether Neo-liberalism or Keynesianism was the right course, the country and the world continues to flounder.

I'm sure many of you have already read Paul Krugman's latest column, in which he points out what he believes is a contradiction within the Austrian school regarding money market funds: 

"But consider a more recent innovation: money market funds. Such funds are just a particular type of mutual fund - and surely the Austrians don't want to ban financial intermediation (or do they?). Yet shares in a MMF are very clearly a form of money - you can even write checks on them - created out of thin air by financial institutions, with very few pieces of green paper behind them.

from Strickland's speech in Charlotte:

Mitt Romney has so little economic patriotism that even his money needs a passport. It summers on the beaches of the Cayman Islands and winters on the slopes of the Swiss Alps. In Matthew, chapter 6, verse 21, the scriptures teach us that where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. My friends, any man who aspires to be our president should keep both his treasure and his heart in the United States of America. And it's well past time for Mitt Romney to come clean with the American people.

On this occasion we want to talk about a ballad of Joseph Ferrante.
It is called ¨Alone again¨

¨Alone again¨ is a ballad full of floating guitars. A delicate piece.

You can listen to it going to:

(You can also download this track, should you want to have it. It is a free download for some time, especially for you)

From the "You can't make this stuff up" file - Brazilian central bank workers are on strike, demanding wage increases to keep up with the inflation they caused.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-08/brazil-central-bank-work-stoppage-tests-rousseff-budget-rigor.html

Naturally, the Bloomberg article gets cause/effect completely wrong (they're only an economics/business news firm, after all), but the irony is delicious nevertheless.

We first came to you talking about the ¨Hey Jude¨ of Joseph Ferrante.
This time we want to draw your attention to another song by Joseph Ferrante.
It is called ¨Here comes a brand new day¨
It is made in a Classic Rock fashion, with the same fast guitar of Joseph Ferrante, but this time on an electric guitar.

Used to be a 60 seconds preview. Now we made it full for you (same as Hey Jude)
