Since Tuesday was May Day, I thought I'd give you a little Billy Bragg, with "World Turned Upside Down" from 1985. It sounds like he's singing about Occupy Wall Street, but the song is actually about a seventeenth-century agrarian socialist movement in England, which I'm guessing wasn't embraced by the economic leaders of that day, either.

Really....? "If I hurt anyone by virtue of that, I would be very sorry for it and apologize for it." Five people recall clearly holding someone down while Romney doesn't?? I myself have done a number of things that bring me shame. I remember them all, and have made the effort to right my wrongs - so to speak. I am so disappointed.
