Corporate Monkeys
A Super-duper lofi song recording.
Corporate monkeys must jump through the corporate monkey hoops.
Corporate monkeys must fling their monkey poop.
Corporate monkeys must wear their monkey suits.
Corporate monkeys must stay in the corporate monkey zoos.
We're all living in a monkey factory.
You don't get breaks to eat your lunch
and you don't get breaks to go pee.
Monkeys wear their monkey suits
and they look like you and me!

Franken Anti-Rape Amendment may be Stripped from Final Bill by Democratic Leadership
From TPM
The anti-rape amendment introduced by Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) may be stripped from the defense appropriations bill by Appropriations chairman Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-HI), the Huffington Post reports.
Multiple sources told reporter Sam Stein that the provision -- which would prohibit the Pentagon from hiring contractors whose employment contracts prevent employees from taking work-related allegations of rape and discrimination to court -- is being targeted by defense contractors. Their lobbyists have reportedly flooded Inouye's office, worried they may lose contracts or open themselves up to lawsuits.
One source said it "looks increasingly likely" that Inouye will remove the amendment.
Stein points out that Inouye has received $294,900 from the defense industry over the course of his career. His top two contributors are defense contractors Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, and he also receives money from General Dynamics and Boeing.

Alan Grayson is a F**ING FIRESTARTER!
I'll be donating to this guy's re-election campaign. Here he is on Hardball with Chris Matthews, calling the Republicans murderers, and accusing Dick Cheney of being a vampire.
I think "Firestarter" is officially this dude's themesong:
