That last Canadian election could’ve gone so wrong. It is good to know the Canadian people have such a strong principled elected leader.

These guys need to read Rick Wilson’s Everything Trump Touches Dies, before they so publicly sell their souls. Were those fleeting rushes of feeling β€œpowerful” worth it?

Also in the show is David Ackles, Jethro Tull, Eric Bibb, James Taylor, Steely Dan, and Bruce Hornsby doing a lovely piece for Spike Lee’s Bamboozled. This was an enjoyable one to put together, just right for conditioning the air in whatever space you are in.

Along with Kirk is a nice grab bag of music I love by Van Morrison, Nico, Nick Drake, Bruce Cockburn, Robert Wyatt, Bonnie Raitt, and Caron Wheeler doing a cool reimagining of Jimi Hendrix’s β€œThe Wind Cries Mary.”

Roland Kirk, blind since early childhood, often wielded three saxes at once (tenor, stritch, and manzello) to create music startling in its emotional impact; a sound that could capture childlike play, rage, grief, beauty, and always be soulful. Kirk gets love on this 238th Air-Conditioned.

We can nip this in the bud if you speak out.

If you have an electric or hybrid car, challenge your county clerk’s office and write your probably spineless politician. If they are going to charge $100 for what runs your car, why not charge the fossil fuel drivers instead, to encourage them to consider supporting greener technology?

Granted, electric cars and their lithium batteries are not perfect. How about running on solar and wind? But that is another discussion, and electric and hybrid cars are a big step in the right direction. Look at your renewal forms before you pay.

I was getting ready to renew my Tennessee car tags for 2026 and was surprised to see a $100 "Electric Car Fee" added for driving a Camry Hybrid. This is proof that the majority of politicians in Tennessee (MAGA Republicans) are totally bought by the fossil fuel industry.

Strike on Girls’ School Kills at Least 175, Iranian State Media Says

Uh .... ask the guy who took out Khomeini, after he threatened to release what Iran had of the Epstein Files. The body count means nothing to our trump, if it protects him. Already, several US soldiers died for trump, at least 175 young Iranian female students died when their school was hit.

I want him to stay healthy enough that he gets to stand on trial and land in jail.

While we are at it, let's talk about the thousands of victims who this administration wants to disappear, if they could.

trump will create any distraction, even costing life, to keep the Epstein Files from being totally released.

Khamenei threatened to release everything he had of the Epstein Files a couple of weeks ago. Magically, US military might showed up by Iran and trump orders a hit job on Khamenei. There’s a lesson here: don’t threaten to release the Epstein Files, instead, publicly flood the zone like trump does.

I guess Hegseth is trying to communicate that DEI and Trans aren’t worthy of inclusion. Actually, I think the Scouts aren’t worthy of these people who Hegseth is trying to exclude. I can’t wait for the day these truly evil monsters in this fascist administration are dropkicked out the door.

Jesse Ed Davis was one of the most distinctive guitarists of the late 60s and 70s. Every track on today’s Air-Conditioned will be something Jesse Ed Davis played on or produced, including Jackson Browne, John Lennon, Nilsson, John Trudell, as well as George Harrison’s Concert for Bangla Desh.

Currently, the Russian asset in the Oval Office doesn’t abide rules, so why wouldn’t NATO move to bring Ukraine into the organization. The US is currently an untrustworthy partner.

We should simply ignore her ruling the same way this administration ignores the law.

The Dems can win District 5 in Tennessee. Andy Ogles has turned off just about everyone in his district, which is where I live.

I knew the moment they denied the Palestinian speakers from showing support on the DNC stage, she lost. They realized the Democratic β€œBig Tent” didn’t include them. It was a cowardly move on the part of Harris campaign to allow that.
