Hillary in bloom

No matter what you think of her she nailed it tonight. She stuck a foot in Bush/Cheney/the GOP of the last 15 years' ass, shamed McCain and held a mirror up to her more maniacal supporters who've whispered about jumping from the Democratic ticket. I still think Barack will win by a hair, but the speech tonight was indeed reminiscent of FDR's endorsement of Al Smith at the 1930 Convention...

The Blues

Quote of the week:

"White people singing and playing the Blues? Huh? White people should concentrate on what they do best: giving people the Blues, not singing about it."

--George Carlin, 2007

Cruelly Ironic Blues of the Week:

Margaret Thatcher is suffering from dementia. Like Reagan was. Like my former hero Mr. McCain is. I call it karma. Remember, V for Vendetta was written and illustrated in the 80s as a slap in her face. This was the same lady who lobbied to keep Augusto Pinochet a chishy guest of the people of Britain. Yes, the Iron White Woman caused a lot of Blues in her time. Now you know how it feels.
