Dear Mr. President

The most beautiful anti-Bush song you'll ever hear:

Quote of the Day

I had my father get sick when I was 22. And I was poor, alright. And my father had an ulcer, and it exploded and you know all these toxins get in your blood. And basically, my father died, whatever, 50 days after his ulcer. So I had a father get sick while I was poor.

My mother got sick when I was rich. And my mother, you know... I don't really want to get into it, but my mother was sicker than my father. And my mother's alive. My mother's fine, OK? I remember going to the hospital to see my mother and wondering, 'Was I in the right place?' Like, this was a hotel. Like it had a concierge, man. People don't... if the average person really knew the discrepancy in the health care system, there'd be riots in the streets, OK? They would burn this m***f*** down!"

- Chris Rock

A Song for Easter

Slash and M. Shadows, lead singer of Avenged Sevenfold.

Slash said he wanted to get Shadows on his album since he was inspired by A7X's stuff. He said he's always wanted to play a song like this, but that he's never been in a band that really allowed him to go this direction. Well, they went there, and did it well...

A Farewell

Keith Olbermann isn't my favorite person. I've recently stopped DVR-ing his show because, after two years of faithful daily viewing, I've decided I don't want my news so biased, even when I happen to agree. I want my assumptions challenged. I want to fight the temptation to have my "itching ear" scratched. I don't learn much when I watch him anymore, so I decided that my time is better spent elsewhere.

However, a couple of weeks ago I happened to see his closing Special Comment, and I'm glad i did. It was a news story and a personal story woven together in beautiful prose. (Say what you will about Kieth, but the man has a mastery with the English language that few have attained. His pen is quite skilled.) It was a story about his dying dad and how he had asked his son to kill him. Literally.

Well, Keith's Dad died today (Keith's announcement today). And as I reflect on this clip, which was the last time he was on air, it becomes even more powerful. Agree with him or not, his words are worth hearing.

Condolences, brother.

A Song for Saturday

Look at Shaq all skinny and junk! His flows aren't bad either, I must admit...

Quality hip-hop from a forgotten age:

Happy Monday

May you experience some luck today like these people did...

Thank you, Stephen.

A Song For Saturday

This girl is awesome. She's not going anywhere for a long, long time.

Palin's Book

Not surprisingly, its a little loose with the facts.

I think it'd be a fun read. Really, I do. But I just can't bring myself to do it...

A Song For Saturday

If you know me, then you know I'm not a Coldplay guy. But, this performance is a whole other story. This was the first time I had heard of them. I watched it live and was actually moved emotionally. Really good songs performed with sincerity do that to me. And maybe the violins helped...

Powerful.

Thank God for Jon

Poor Beck. Its just waaaaay to easy:

By The People

Talk about getting in low. Ed Norton (yes, that Ed Notron) and his team decided they wanted to do a documentary about Barack Obama. They made this decision in 2004 after his big speech in Boston. They had no clue he was going to run for President, at least not this soon. All they knew was that this guy was an up and coming star in the political arena, and so he'd be worth covering.

They sure nailed that one.

So, they were in first, and for that reason, they were given access that no one had.

Should be interesting.

I don't care what you've got on tonight, this guy's costume beats it hands down.

Wait till the end of the clip. Just when you thought it couldn't get cooler...

According to PEW, this is the view of most americans when it comes to FOX News:

Happy Monday

I always wondered what it would look like to see a female get trucked football-style.

Now I know.

Hip-hop belongs to everyone now.


I love the dryness of the performance. It really draws you in in some strange way.

My, oh my. This is a quality scare reaction if I've ever seen one.

Cartoon of the Week

Drunkest. Guy. Ever.

Is "Drunkest" a word? If not, it should be. Just for occasions like this.

This guy has a problem. He's obviously consumed more alcohol than his body can stand, an yet he wants more. (There is a scripture reference in there somewhere...)

I've never been drunk, so, I can't tell if he's faking or not, but it seems real enough to me. The way he stumbles around reminds me of the alien bug wearing the "Edgar Suit" in the first Men In Black. Remember that?

Enjoy!

Calling A Spade, A Spade

OK.

This "War with Fox News" is not a war. That is what the Fox folks are calling it because they feel assailed, but that is just the truth stinging them that they feel.

The White House says they're attitude towards Fox is that it has a point of view. That its not so much interested in finding truth as it is in supporting its agenda. Like a political operation.

Fox claims this accusation is baseless.

The evidence says something else:



I have a lot of friends who love Fox. One actually told me he likes it because someone is finally speaking from his point of view when (in his opinion) there had been no media outlet speaking for him in his whole life. That is the genius of Fox. "Give 'em what they want".

As a business model, it can't be challenged. But lets not pretend that their business is news. That's all I'm saying.

Held By The Taliban

This is the first installment in a five-part series offering a first-person account by David Rohde of his seven months as a captive of the Taliban in Pakistan. Mr. Rohde, a New York Times reporter, was kidnapped with two Afghan colleagues on Nov. 10, 2008, as they traveled to an interview with a Taliban commander outside of Kabul, Afghanistan.

Read them all.

Its an amazing tale we should all hear.

In part:

The longer I looked at the gunman in the passenger seat, the more nervous I became. His face showed little emotion. His eyes were dark, flat and lifeless.

I thought of my wife and family and was overcome with shame. An interview that seemed crucial hours earlier now seemed absurd and reckless. I had risked the lives of Tahir and Asad — as well as my own life. We reached a dry riverbed and the car stopped. “They’re going to kill us,” Tahir whispered. “They’re going to kill us.”

Happy Monday

Apparently, the Japanese will do anything to you if they think they can get a laugh out of it.

Too bad there aren't subtitles. Looks like a job interview to me. I bet he stays unemployed forever now.

Poor guy...

An amazing special done by Richard Engel, NBC news correspondent. He is embedded with some of our troops in Afghanistan and reports on what he finds. I've posted part 1 of 6. I encourage you to watch them all. Pray for the safety of these people. Pray also for the President, he needs wisdom now more than ever.

Andrew's take:

Jon Stewart busts Fox News bad on their non-coverage of a march of around 75,000. This is not just an ideological problem for them; it's a news problem. What happened last weekend in DC was a great story - large and colorful protests, a big fight between the grassroots of the gay movement and its DNC bosses, a presidential speech. Where was Fox? Some will say it's pure ideology. They just ignore stories that do not fit their GOP base audience. The speeches at the march were so emphatic on the core message of equality and the marchers so obviously regular Americans of all stripes, shapes and colors, perhaps Fox simply did not know how to fit the images into the notion that the gay rights movement is some bunch of evil freaks trying to destroy the family.
