My 2009 Soundtrack?

I made a iTunes Smart Playlist to attempt to find my most-played music of 2009. For various reasons this is not as easy to do as it sounds. But, the list’s constraints — “Added in 2009” and “Most Played” — seem to have produced a decent idea of the year’s most popular music in Robland. (To point out the obvious, “Added in 2009” does not equal...

A Balloon Juice post by John Cole has informed me that the Christmas (wannabe-) terrorist was “a disaffected Muslim from Nigeria whose father warned authorities” who was able to “buy a one way trip to the United States, pay cash, and then board the plane with explosives sewn into his underwear” but apparently had no luggage. I mean, come on! “Shouldn’t the one way...

– How recent strikes on Yemen, which killed 49 civilians (mostly women and children) but not the one al Qaeda targeted, were reported in Iranian media. Why do they hate us? Pointing out such things, as my hero Glenn Greenwald steadfastly does, is not anti-American or “blame-America-first”...

Interesting Biblicious Irony

FOUND THIS today in my “Drafts” folder. I guess I never posted it. Throw it away or post it online now? Is there even a question when it comes to me? There has been a brouhaha recently (at least online) over some merchandise being pitched to conservative Christians which says, “Pray for Obama: Psalm 109:8.” The verse in question reads: “Let his days be few; let...

– Booman is lately trying to emphasize the importance of accepting our small victories. We know that Health Care is in thrall to the huge corporate interests. As are the Republican party, those maddeningly difficult ConservaDem senators, the media (itself made up mostly of a huge corporate interests),...

Watch

The New Yorker’s “Tips for the Sensitive Christian” Number 2: Don’t call Christmas “a day to celebrate the birth of Jesus.” Instead, try calling it “the world’s day off” or “a big party for almost everyone!”

Cenk Uygur: Medicare buy-in for everyone! →

I love this idea, though I know it will never happen. It’s the simplest. It’s not a “government take-over of health care” because it says nothing about health insurance companies. It’s merely an option. Basically, Cenk (of The Young Turks) figures that the current bill is a mess, so that leads progressives to dream of passing through Reconciliation, which only...
