Tonight’s Tips music selection is a follow up to this oddly touching video in which performers and music industry insiders at the CMA awards expressed their support and affection for beleaguered country wildman Hank Williams Jr., who had recently been fired from Monday Night Football for making some highly unflattering on-air remarks about Obama. From 1991, here’s the five-time CMA Entertainer of the Year (along with Clint Black in a brief musical cameo) singing Hotel Whiskey.

How’s That Hopey-Changey Thing Working Out For Ya?
Just in time for Thanksgiving:
The Illinois Senate Thursday overrode Gov. Pat Quinn’s veto of legislation allowing Illinoisans to legally scoop up road kill. In action Thursday, senators voted 52-0 in favor of the proposed law, which is designed to allow people to collect dead mammals found on roadways.

The first lab-grown hamburger will cost around 250,000 euros ($345,000) to produce, according to Mark Post, a vascular biologist at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands, who hopes to unveil such a delicacy soon.
Experts say the meat’s potential for saving animals’ lives, land, water, energy and the planet itself could be enormous.

The Libranos Decline Comment
Contributions made to Bob Rae’s failed bid to take over the leadership of the federal Liberal party in 2006 appear to have helped the RCMP connect the dots in part of their continuing investigation into alleged corruption of Canada Revenue Agency employees.
Documents filed in connection with Project Cloche describe how the RCMP came to believe that Delvex Consulting Group, a LaSalle-based firm that advises companies on how to apply for research and development tax credits, is secretly owned by five men, including Francesco Bruno, 50, of Laval, head of a construction company who pleaded guilty to tax evasion in February, and three CRA employees who were fired in 2009 and 2010.
The documents “do not allege any wrongdoing on Rae’s part”. He was just the leadership hopeful they gave $10,000 to.

The fact that one of the smelly, vacuous, work ethic deprived nitwits at the “protest” would utter such absolute nonsense speaks volumes about his delusions of self importance. Charles Adler and Lorne Gunter discuss this and the forthcoming end of the ‘Occupy’ protests. Gunter has an alternative suggestion for such folks: Pack your tent and go home
