Republicans Must Stop Drinking the Koolaid
There’s a little story floating around the net in regards to the songs that the GOP had decided to play at their little convention. Namely, the use of Heart’s “Barracuda” to introduce Sarah Palin. The Wilson sisters had sent a cease and desist letter to the GOP requesting that they stop using their song. However, as we all know, Republicans are above the law and they used the song anyway. Here is a statement issued by Heart:
“Sarah Palin’s views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song ‘Barracuda’ no longer be used to promote her image. The song ‘Barracuda’ was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women. (The ‘barracuda’ represented the business.) While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there’s irony in Republican strategists’ choice to make use of it there.”
This is not an isolated event either. They also used a song by Van Halen without permission and Jackson Browne is currently suing John McCain and the Ohio Republican party for using “Running On Empty” in one of their ads.
What kills me about this story are the right winger comments. Some of them are priceless.

Summertime & the Flip-flops Come Out
The warm weather has finally arrived. It’s time to unpack the summer clothes from their long winter storage. Senator McCain has already done so and is sporting some mighty fine flip-flops:

Senator John McCain – The Next President or Nostradamus?
In a speech today in Columbus, Ohio, Senator McCain gazed into his crystal ball and foretold the future. The Iraq war will be over in 2013 (the US being victorious), Al Qaeda will be extinct, and Osama bin Laden will be dead or captured. Sound familiar? “Mission Accomplished”? We might as well just re-elect Bush to another term.
McCain also predicts an era of bipartisanship with weekly news briefs and question and answer sessions with congress. Personally, I think someone has spiked his Ensure.
Anywho, I am seriously looking forward to the debates between Senator McCain and Senator Obama. I don’t think the old man stands a chance.
Obama ‘08
Get Ready to Spin
Senator Obama may not be the official nominee for the democrats, but it appears that this is just a technicality. The attacks have started and the spin room is out of control. It’s going to be impossible to keep track, but I’m going to give it my best shot.
