Great ad...looking forward to the "record." But, still, I'm confused:
"The records I used to listen to and still love, you can't make a record that sounds that way," (Dylan) explains. It is as if having taken his new material down to the crossroads of the recording studio Dylan isn't wholly sure the deal struck with the devil there was worth it. "Brian Wilson, he made all his records with four tracks, but you couldn't make his records if you had a hundred tracks today. We all like records that are played on record players, but let's face it, those days are gon-n-n-e. You do the best you can, you fight that technology in all kinds of ways, but I don't know anybody who's made a record that sounds decent in the past twenty years, really. You listen to these modern records, they're atrocious, they have sound all over them. There's no definition of nothing, no vocal, no nothing, just like -- static. Even these songs probably sounded ten times better in the studio when we recorded 'em. CDs are small. There's no stature to it. I remember when that Napster guy came up across, it was like, 'Everybody's gettin' music for free.' I was like, 'Well, why not? It ain't worth nothing anyway.' ". . .
Ah, so that's why Bob made this deal with iTunes. It all makes sense in a typically Dylan way...

Katrina: One Year Later


On the eve of the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, President Bush returned to the devastated Gulf Coast today promising to continue federal assistance, and eagerly pointing out signs of progress.

“It’s amazing, isn’t?” he told a gathering under a sweltering sun. “It’s amazing what the world looked like then and what it looks like now..."

Mr. Bush delivered his remarks at an intersection in a working-class Biloxi neighborhood against a carefully orchestrated backdrop of neatly reconstructed homes. Just a few feet out of camera range stood gutted houses with wires dangling from interior ceilings. A tattered piece of crime scene tape hung from a tree in the field where Mr. Bush spoke. A toilet seat lay on its side in the grass.

"I Feel Pretty"



Maria

When my wife and I first saw this spot, we had an "argument" as to whether they changed the lyrics from "gay" to "bright":
I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty, and witty and gay (bright),
And I pity
Any girl who isn�t me today (tonight).
For those of you who care, it turns out the original stage lyrics for West Side Story were "bright" and "tonight" and they were changed to "gay" and "today" for the movie version. You would've thought it was the other way around.

The Emmy Awards Highlight




The lone highlight of the 2006 Emmy Awards telecast was provided by, of course, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. These guys should get their own shows...

By the way, even though Colbert may have lost his two chances of taking home an Emmy to Stewart and, um, Barry Manilow, Stephen was still a winner Sunday night: Colbert's "Truthiness" and "Wikiality" were named "the top television buzzwords of the year." Way to go Steve!

"Say it! Say it! Say 'I lost the nest-egg.' Go on, say it! " *


*David Howard (Albert Brooks) to his wife Linda (Julie Hagerty) after she gambled away their life savings in Lost in America.

Lost in America


I was reminded of this classic scene from Albert Brooks' Lost in America while reading The New Yorker's Hendrik Hertzberg's analysis of our current situation in Iraq. In his piece entitled Snake Eyes, Hertzberg quotes war pundits, pro and con, who saw the President's war in Iraq as a gamble:
Three and a half years ago, on the eve of the invasion of Iraq, commentators across the board agreed that the coming war would be a gamble—“the greatest shake of the dice any President has voluntarily engaged in since Harry Truman dropped the bomb on Japan,” Thomas Friedman called it. The metaphor came up again and again as the war approached. “This is the biggest gamble any President has taken in my lifetime,” a foreign-policy specialist at the Heritage Foundation said. “By accident or design, President Bush has allowed Iraq to become the gamble of a lifetime,” the Washington Post noted. Some viewed the gamble with apprehension. “Whatever this war’s effect on the region, globally it may be an even bigger roll of the dice for the United States than either its proponents or critics have argued,” Charles W. Freeman, Jr., who was the first President Bush’s Ambassador to Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War, wrote. Others were thrilled by the audacity, the swagger, the sheer “High Noon” moral clarity of it all. “This is Texas poker, with the President putting everything on Iraq,” a Republican senator told the columnist Robert Novak, with relish.
Forget that Bush gambled on his place in history. He has gambled away lives, money and America's goodwill:
It is in the nature of gambling that the gamble may lose. The dice have now been well and truly rolled, and they have come up snake eyes. The war’s sole real gain—the overthrow of the murderous Saddam Hussein regime—is mocked by the chaos and suffering that have overwhelmed millions of Iraqis, whose country is again a republic of fear. The concrete losses are horrific: nearly three thousand American and “coalition” troops killed; thousands more maimed; scores of thousands of Iraqi civilians dead; a third of a trillion dollars burned through. So are the less tangible ones: the unprecedented levels of anti-Americanism throughout the Muslim world and Europe; the self-inflicted loss of America’s moral prestige; the neglect of real nuclear dangers, in Iran and North Korea, while chimeras were chased in Iraq. The neoconservative project of a friendly, democratic Middle East, with Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace, is worse than a charred ruin—it is a flaming inferno.
George W. Bush should no longer be allowed to say his version of "nest-egg": 9/11. He should be looked upon with scorn and contempt should he ever utter a 9, an eleven or a "September."

He also should no longer be able to say any variations of the phrase "stay the course." To me, "stay the course" is the equivalent of this scene at the roulette table in Lost in America when Linda, in full gambling-fever mode and unable to cut her losses and run, blows it all on one last gamble:
"Twenty-two, twenty-two, come on back to me, come on back to me!"
Our empty-headed President obviously has no plan, no ideas. He's just throwing dice and hoping for a big win. And he hopes that, by playing the fear card (the "if we don't fight them over there" nonsense), he'll be seen as a bold visionary and protector of America instead of the man who has helped make the world a more dangerous place:
At the end of the week, after British authorities foiled what was evidently a large-scale plot to destroy transatlantic airliners and murder thousands of passengers, President Bush called the plot “a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom.” But the war in Iraq is wholly irrelevant to the means chosen by the London terrorists, and the means that thwarted them—dogged police work, lawful surveillance, international coöperation—are precisely those which have been gratuitously starved or stymied on account of the material, political, and human resources that have been, and continue to be, wasted in Iraq. Why not change the game to one that relies less on gambling and bluff and more on wisdom, planning, and (in every sense) intelligence?
Or as David Howard said to his wife:
"If you pick up that Keno card, I'll kill you. I'll kill you."

Tell Me Baby - Red Hot Chili Peppers

This may help make your Friday feel lighter. It worked for me (and I'm having a stupid day).

"He Cried With Me."


And then he said, "Now get the hell out of here. You're interrupting my vacation."



Hildi Halley, whose husband died in Afghanistan, met privately with President Bush yesterday. According to Greg Sargent over at TPM Cafe, their conversation went like this:
"I talked to him about how important this person was to me," Halley recounted, speaking of her husband. "It's not just a soldier who died. Lives are changed forever...I said, `This doesn't make sense to me.'"




"He said, `Terrorists killed three thousand people, we had to go to war.'" Halley continued to me. "I said, `Well, who put the Taliban into power? The United States did.' He said, `I'm not going to have a philosphical debate over politics.' The whole conversation was very gentle."

(snip)

"I said, `what would truly bring healing is to start working on changing your policy towards the Middle East...as President, you're here to serve the people. And the people are not being served with this war.'"

She added: "I told him, `It's time as a Christian to put our pride behind us."

Halley said that the President appeared moved by what she'd said, but that she doubted it would bring about any real change. "He cried with me," she recounted. "I feel he responded to me emotionally. I don't know if that's going to change policy. It probably won't. But I hope it makes him think a little bit further."
Think? Our president has no time for thinking.

"He loves to cuss, gets a jolly when a mountain biker wipes out trying to keep up with him, and now we're learning that the first frat boy loves flatulence jokes. A top insider let that slip when explaining why President Bush is paranoid around women, always worried about his behavior. But he's still a funny, earthy guy who, for example, can't get enough of fart jokes. He's also known to cut a few for laughs, especially when greeting new young aides, but forget about getting people to gas about that."

Senator Cheapskate


Cheapskate

No, I am not a self-hating jew making an anti-Semitic slur against Holy Joe Lieberman. I'm just stating the facts: Joe Lieberman is fucking cheap (and fucking stupid). Apparently, his campaign website went down today and he's calling it sabotage:
(via firedoglake) I just want to say how nice I think it is that the Lamont people are rising above the level of dirty politics being engaged in by the Luddite LieberLiars and their techno-challenged Hail Mary "liberal dogs ate my server" pass in offering to send a competent tech person over to fix Joe’s site.

The problem could’ve been fixed 15 hours ago if they’d bothered to simply switch their normally low-traffic site to another server when it began, but it seems to be serving their purposes. I’m frankly at a loss to explain their reluctance to accept any help from the Lamont campaign, or secure it for themselves.

Can you say ratfuck?

Matt Stoller has more.

FYI: Colin McEnroe just noted that the Secretary of State had projected 40% turnout this morning, and has now upped it to 50-55%, which is unheard of. You can stream Colin’s show here.

Update: Kos says:
[I] have the definitive answer as to why Lieberman’s site went down.

They are paying $15/month for hosting at a place called MyHostCamp, with a bandwidth limit of 10GB. MyHostCamp is currently down, along with all their clients.

Here’s the deal — you get what you pay for. My hosting bill is now over $7K per month. A smaller site doesn’t need that much bandwidth, but if you’re paying $15 because your $12 million campaign is too freakin’ cheap to pay for quality hosting, then don’t go blaming your opponent when your shitty service goes out.
Team Lieberman: Hilariously Incompetent. Oh, and did I mention cheap?!?

Worst...Videos...Ever!


My 15-year old nephew and I watched VH1 Classic's celebration of MTV's 25th Anniversary (which MTV chose to ignore in order to remain in a perpetual state of retarded adolescence). It was hard for me to explain how cool we all thought the channel was when it debuted back in 1981 (I was in college at the time. I couldn't very well tell him that it was like Sesame Street on acid - as redundant as that sounds). When The Buggles' The Age of Plastic came on it was all both of us could do to stifle the laughter at the so-called cutting edge video effects. But it was when the following video came on that all hell broke loose:



We instantly declared it the worst video ever made. But, boy were we wrong. We had yet to see this gem:



Styx was just a warm-up for the slew of REO Speedwagon videos that followed. It was hard to choose which was the worst of the bunch until this one, featuring some "acting" by lead singer Kevin Cronin, came on:



Convinced we had at last found the worst video ever made, we were completely taken by surprise when this final entry came on. Words cannot express how much cheese went into the making of this video (but both the shirt and the smile give you an idea):
