Who would leave minors in the car by themselves late at night?
–  JaCee Robertson

Given that I really enjoy both classic electronica and instrumental guitar music, how could I not share this video with y’all?  The links above it were provided by Phoenix Calida, Mike Siegel, The Onion, IncarcerNation (x3), and Mark Bennett, in that order.

I find paywalls distasteful, and so many people find this blog valuable as a resource I just can’t bring myself to install one.  Furthermore, I find ad delivery services (whose content I have no say over) even more distasteful.  But as I’m now semi-retired from sex work, I can’t self-sponsor this blog by myself any longer.  So if you value my writing enough that you would pay to see it if it were paywalled, please consider subscribing; there are four different levels to fit all budgets.  Or if that doesn’t work for you, please consider showing your generosity with a one-time donation; you can Paypal to maggiemcneill@earthlink.net or else email me at the same address to make other arrangements.  Thanks so much!

So you guys made a guy pee himself?  –  laughing sow
Yeah.  –  smiling pig

Choosing an anti-war song for last week’s links column reminded me of this, probably the most powerful anti-war song I’ve ever heard; I cannot ever listen to it without being reduced to tears by the end.  The links above the video were provided by Angela Keaton; Popehat; Franklin Harris and Brooke Magnanti; Popehat again; and Christian Britschgi, in that order.

The idea that [cops] have a protectable right to personal privacy while conducting a search of someone’s home is nothing short of absurd.  –  David Carey

Wow, there sure were a lot of celebrity deaths in the past couple of weeks; I think the most obits I’ve had in one Links column before was three or four; it was certainly less than six.  But none of them were musicians, so here’s a parody of one modern ritual surounding the other end of the human experience.  The links above it were provided by Stephen Lemons and Franklin Harris; Dan Savage and Radley Balko; Jesse Walker and Scott Greenfield; C.J. Ciaramella; and Scott Long, in that order.

We are the law.  –  Allentown, PA cops

To honor the passing of Harry Belafonte, I decided to go with his best-known song; the words seem to take on a poignancy when used in this manner.  The links above it were provided by Phoenix Calida (x2); Jesse Walker and Franklin Harris; and Cop Crisis (x4), in that order.

[Can’t] we see [police] doing other things than showing up with a tank?  –  Jennifer Bacon

For the first time since July, I didn’t have a video either suggested by an obituary or in queue from previous weeks, so I went to YouTube and found this rather strange video from 1969.  The links above it were provided by Lucy Steigerwald, Cop Crisis (x3), Radley Balko, Stephen Lemons, and Emma Evans, in that order.
