Get this news out there —
Clinton threatening lawsuit over Texas caucuses.
There ya go — if you can’t win, call out the lawyers and TAKE it.
Jesus, her campaign disgusts me.
Clinton Desperation
The Clinton campaign today put forth the most ridiculous re-spinning of this entire campaign: The March 4th contests are a “must-win”…..for OBAMA.
Apparently, if he doesn’t win all four contests, it will prove that voters “have doubts” about him.
Never mind that the campaign has previously called the March 4th contests, especially Texas and Ohio, Hillary’s “Firewall”…or that Bill Clinton has said she has to win them. The writing is pretty clear — by most accounts, Obama is moving into the lead in Texas, and is closing the gap to near the margin of error in Ohio. So here comes the Clinton campaign’s Hail Mary: ” If he doesn’t kick our asses, he loses.”
In other bullshit, Clinton’s new campaign ad tries to scare voters with the spectre of something happening in the world at 3 a.m., when “your children are asleep,” and closes with the tag line: “There’s a phone in the White House, and it’s ringing — Who do you want answering the phone?”
OHNOES!!! WON’T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN??? (and…er….the phone???)
Friday Music
I had considered doing a “Leap Year” edition, but it turns out there aren’t a lot of theme songs that fit. :)
Well, there’s this one, kinda-sorta. It has fuck-all to do with Leap Year, but it’s one of my favorites. Billy Bragg – “Waiting For The Great Leap Forwards.”
There’s a French James Bond fanfilm called Shamelady (after the estate in Jamaica that Fleming bought, and re-named “Goldeneye”) — not your typical fan film. They hired models, spent some money — actually have an Aston Martin, fer chrissakes. They used the following track as the theme song — Bond composer David Arnold collaborated with The Cardigans’ vocalist Nina Persson for the theme song to the 2000 remake of Randal & Hopkirk (Deceased), and the song is very, VERY Bondian: David Arnold & Nina Persson – “Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)”
A little bit of 90s one-hit-wonder love for ya: Geggy Tah – “Whoever You Are.”
Also from the same decade — another group that had a single and not much else. I always loved the lyrics of this one. Eve 6 – “Inside Out.”
Here was one of my favorite headphone tracks while walking through NYC. Because sometimes, you just need a song that grabs you by the cock and goes “RAAHHH!!!” (Seriously. That’s a technical term. Look it up.) Kid Rock – “Bawitdaba.”
Speaking of NYC — here’s another smoothed-out jazzy hip-hop track from Digable Planets, this time from their first album. Digable Planets – “Where I’m From.”
Getting an ear-worm out there. This track is used in the trailers of the forthcoming Juliana Margulies series, Canterbury’s Law. I really don’t have any interest in watching another show about a fiesty lawyer, much less on FOX….but the song is hot. Rilo Kiley – “The Moneymaker.”
Lastly, from the cobwebbed-bestrewn days of the 80s….Echo & The Bunnymen – “Lips Like Sugar (Single Version).”
There you go. Enjoy!
