VIA TMP, a great ad. More than great: incredible.

A lot of my readers aren’t bluegrass fans, or don’t know that much about the genre. Take it from me: Ralph Stanley is a living legend, not only in the bluegrass community but in the broader country music genre. He and his brother Carter started [...]
Smack.
I would argue that doing work in the community, try and create jobs, rejuvenate the communities that have fallen on hard times, bring ppl together, setup job training programs in areas that have been hard hit where the steel plants have closed. That’s relevant only in understanding where im coming from, who i [...]

Hillary Clinton’s Concession Speech is both. H/T Peter Daou at daily Kos:
Thank you so much. Thank you all.
Well, this isn’t exactly the party I’d planned, but I sure like the company.
I want to start today by saying how grateful I am to all of you – to everyone who poured your [...]

Obama bodyslams McCain and Bush.
It’s a beautiful thing to watch, whether you support Obama for President or not.
He ties the two together, than hangs an anvil on their necks, and then shoves them off the plank.
My mom, who voted for Clinton, called me up while Obama was live on TV. “OK,” she said. “I’m votiong [...]

Thank God for Chris Dodd.
Harry Reid, the telecom’s best friend and the not-so-secret ally of the opposition Republicans, has been humiliated:
Amid deep and growing divisions among Senate Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) last night abruptly withdrew legislation that would have changed surveillance law and granted the nation’s telecommunications companies retroactive immunity from [...]
The Circus in House: Calls to Congress
I hope everybody enjoyed yesterday’s political theatre in the House of Reprehensibles. To recap:
1) Dennis Kucinich introduces a motion to impeach Lord Vader Vice President Cheney.
2) Steny Hoyer introduces a motion to table the bill, essentially killing it. Hoyer is a gelding Blue Dog, and is afraid of impeaching Cheney. The Democrats [...]

Remember how angry you were when Nancy Pelosi took impeachment off the table? How throughly outraged you were when she said of antiwar protestors in front of her house, “If they were poor, and they were sleeping on my sidewalk, they’d be arrested for loitering, but because they have ‘impeach Bush’ across their chest, [...]
