Hank Williams: 40 Greatest Hits

Ever since I saw the PBS mini-series of Ken Burns's Country Music last year, I have become a fan of the late Hank Williams.

Before then, I was more familiar with his songs covered by other artists, such as Elvis Presley.

Since then, I bought the DVD set of the mini-series and watched it last week. I then decided to see what vinyl albums of Williams were available. I ended up ordering the compilation album, 40 Greatest Hits.

It arrived yesterday in the mail and I listened to it last evening. Thankfully, it is an audiophile version with better sound quality.

I highly recommend this album.

Gov. Perdue: "Suspend Congressional Elections"

Liberals are hilarious when they are in panic mode.

On Tuesday, North Carolina Democratic Governor Bev Perdue made the following statements (Source: Daily Caller):

“I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won’t hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover,” Perdue said at a rotary club event in Cary, N.C., according to the Raleigh News & Observer. “I really hope that someone can agree with me on that.”

Now she's claiming her comments were in jest.

An audio recording has surfaced refuting her claim by showing she was perfectly serious when making her comments. To hear it, go here.

"Suspend elections." That's sounds like something right out of a dictatorship.
