Democratic Underground (Free subscription) | 06/13/2008

Source: [b]MSNBC[/b] New Hampshire picked up McCain in the 2000 Republican primary and stayed true to him in 2008. It was fitting, then, that McCain concluded a Nashua event yesterday with the 1976 Orleans' hit celebration of monogamy, "Still the One." Well, almost fitting. Proving ...

A tale of two thieves

Eidelblog (Free subscription) | 05/08/2008

In his unmitigatedly warped notion of "benevolence," George W. Bush signed legislation "to boost availability of student loans." It sounds great, but after you read how it's being done, it's a great deal for students, a great deal for Bush and bureaucrats who will brag about how much they're "helping" people, and a raw deal for the rest of us who pay taxes. "The measure is intended to inject liquidity...

Hillary Clinton is out of money. She recently loaned $5 million to her own campaign just as Barack Obama was setting records by raising $32 million in January. As the two of them race ahead, winning the money game now is more important than ever. But where can she turn? Two words: Stephen Colbert. In character, Colbert claims that anyone who comes on his Comedy Central show, "The Colbert Report," receives...

Guess oldies and Republicans don't mix

The Truffle (Free subscription) | 02/15/2008

In 1996, Sam Moore, of Sam and Dave fame, came out in support of Bob Dole, performing "Dole Man," a rewrite of "Soul Man." Trouble is, Moore didn't write the song. Isaac Hayes and Dave Porter did, and they put a stop to "Dole Man." Eight years later, John Hall of the band Orleans flipped when he heard Bush and Cheney were using "Still the One" a campaign theme. Today, Hall is a Democratic congressman...

Ricky Scaggs & James Taylor: New Star Shining

Terrierman's Daily Dose (Free subscription) | 12/24/2007

'New Star Shining ' is sung here by the always-terrific James Taylor, and the great Ricky Scaggs. Based on the haircuts of each I would guess this was 1991 or so. A bit of trivial pursuit: this song was written by John Hall, who used to be a member of the the band Orleans, but is now a Democratic Member of the U.S. House of Representatives .
