Rep. John Boehner: The American People Have ‘Sent an Unmistakable Message’
All evidence to the contrary, ‘unmistakable message’ my ass, Mr. Boehner! I’m sick over this though! After catching a bit of Rand Paul’s smug victory speech on CNN last night, I couldn’t bear to watch any more of the election results. Depressing….
Videos: President Obama’s Last Minute Call to Get Out the Vote on Nov. 2
I’m still a fan and realize he’s done the best he can with the horrible hand he was dealt by his predecessor, but that was hardly inspiring stuff in the video above as compared to the soaring rhetoric and vision he laid out during his historic ’08 campaign. Democrats are really bent over a chair for these midterms by comparison: is it gonna hurt much?
Click the jump for another video of President Obama at a rally in his hometown in Chicago saying : “I need you to keep on fighting.” (how should I take the opening shot showing a bunch of Black dudes walking away from the stage at the beginning of the clip??)
So remember kids, vote tomorrow or prepare to face a President Palin future! (more…)
The Hipster Blogosphere Jumps on Yet Another Bandwagon: Odd Future [NSFW Artwork]
From LA Weekly:
“As recently as July, Odd Future wasn’t sure what the future held. They had sent their music out to some hip-hop blogs, but it wasn’t getting much love. Their sound was too weird, too slow, too fucked up. Odd Future thought they probably would have to go back to school after summer. Then a writer for U.K. music magazine The Wire stumbled across them. He wrote a feature for the magazine’s September issue and pimped Odd Future to everyone he knew.
Fader blogged about them at the end of August: “If the rappers in Odd Future were indicative of California’s social climate, the West Coast would be currently experiencing a miniature apocalypse, complete with grocery store looting and armed survivalist militias, plus tons of drugs and skateboarding.” Other bloggers started getting onboard, and buzz started to spread. Then MTV name-checked Odd Future in their list of 10 most anticipated albums. Even Snoop didn’t make that cut.”
Not that these guys are that terrible but sometimes I just have to shake my head. One of the Top 10 Most Anticipated Albums??! GTFOH!!!! Check out all the hype for yourself with this track, “Sandwitches” by Mssrs. (Wolf) Haley & (Hodgy) Beats from their Soundcloud page, which has a whopping 53 plays and counting. That’s anticipated alright….
