If Roy Acuff hadn't been born on this day 1903 in Maynardville, Tennessee, third of Ida Carr and Simon E. Neill Acuff's five children, Tennessee might not be the hillbilly capital of the world

That's the title of a recent article in The Fiscal Times by Bruce Bartlett , policy adviser to Ronald Reagan and Treasury official under the first President Bush. In it, Bartlett writes this: Liberals hoped that Obama would overturn conservative policies and launch a new era of government activism. Although Republicans routinely accuse him of being a socialist, an honest examination of his presidency must conclude that he has in fact been moderately conservative to exactly the same degree that Nixon was moderately liberal. He then goes on to list his [...]

And she's right. On her show Thursday night, she said: "Democrats have not only refused to hold Republicans accountable for the double standard, but they have joined with Republicans in piling on with the demands that Anthony Weiner had to resign even as David Vitter stays in the Senate." Unlike Republicans, who close ranks around such an issue, Democrats turn on their own. "Anthony Weiner, who was not accused of corruption, who does not appear to have done anything illegal, [...]

Stefan Goldmann on why Web 2.0 can work for you but won't for most, where all the money went and how working against the market consensus can be a winning strategy. Electronic music. What we believed for a long time was that anyone with a bit of talent had a chance at a career of about ten years before eventually retiring from the circuit. Of course there are exceptions for whom this does not seem to apply. Francois Kevorkian has probably had the longest career here (unless we count Kraftwerk as part of our little world); [...]

Meet US Congresswoman Donna Edwards. Yes, she's showing Congress The White Stripes Effect And Cause. As part of a debate about government shutdown. This in no way is like that girl in your class crowbaring in some reference to "sucking the life out" of something in order to use posters of R-Patz during her class report on the Banking Crisis. Because the girl in your class isn't an elected representative who should be able to get through one of the most important debates in recent American history without needing to pep it [...]

Hey, so there's this guy called Jared Loughner who just shot an American political figure at a supermarket or somewhere, and he's got a Youtube channel!

Disclaimer: I am currently in exile from the Manor, working as an undercover operative in a hotbed of political fuckery. In order to preserve the integrity of my mission, I can't disclose my exact location, but I feel that I must give you a few clues as to how dire things are here as it most certainly informs my opinion on the impending midterm elections. The senatorial race I will be voting in this November is between a guy who once stated that homosexuals and women having premarital sex shouldn't be permitted to [...]

This is just how we like our liberal: aggressive and unrelenting. Rep. Alan Grayson says it like it is. Posted in Chuckle, Clip, Politik, Yankee Panky Tagged: aggressive, alan, bush, cheney, democrat, dick, george, liberal, republican, unrelenting

Originally debated at SomaCow.com In this highly emotional level, the guys discussed and debated: Geoff hates conservatives Government bloat Abortion? Gay Marriage? Gay is a choice? NDSF We also found out that Glenn Beck is aware of our show and is afraid to call in because Geoff is too hostile.

Johann Hari for The Independent (normally, I hate cutting and pasting, but I liked what Mr. Hari had to say; his entire essay is worth reading): Since Obama's rise, the US right has been skipping frantically from one fantasy to another, like a person in the throes of a mental breakdown. It started when they claimed he was a secret Muslim, and – at the same time – that he was a member of a black nationalist church that hated white people. Then, once these arguments were rejected and Obama won, they [...]

So the US of A is the only major first world country that does not provide regular healthcare to it's people, the people are required to provide it for themselves. If you've seen the movie Sicko then you know how well that's working out. 50 Million peeps can't afford to provide BASIC healthcare for themselves, that's alot of peeps, becasue of that, 18,000 US peeps die a year needlessly. This is a

Kyoung Kim and Drew Denny—who is also part of L.A. RECORD —are not (quite yet) going to change the world, but they will reflect it back more clearly with the Reclamations series. First is Planetarium, a dome made of recycled parts where you can see the stars inside Hollywood and Highland. This interview by Daiana Feuer.

Marriage equality is a big topic in the world right now and singer Tori Amos is one of the most recently celebrities to speak out in defense of it. In a recent interview with British gay magazine Attitude, Tori shared her views on California's decision to vote yes on Proposition 8. She said "Well, we go back to this concept of emancipation. The idea of 'We will overcome' from the great Dr. Martin Luther King, was made flesh as Obama was put into the office and yet at the same time another group of people were subjugated by some of [...]

As Time magazine stated, the conservatives, the bane of society, are on the endangered species list, which is the only occasion where I favor extinction. In any form, the republikkkans are now touting Obama a heathen of sorts because he likes some dijon in his burger. Watch the video to see how low the stoop is .

This came at a right time after I went to the National History Museum solely to visit Darwin's statue and say hi. They won't budge because they want their constituencies to keep voting for them, even when science proves otherwise. The conservative agenda won't settle for fact and would rather follow some myth. This is why they are about to face popular extinction. I like the last Mount Rushmore comment.

is this guy ... Sean Tavis, an "Information Architect" from Kansas, is the 2009 Our Kitchen Sink Coolest Candidate for State Legislature, as voted on by me. Tavis, clearly a member of Generation Now is a Democrat in a notoriously conservative state, who is committed to making open government a reality. He ran for the State Legislature in 2008 and barely lost despite receiving small donations from over 3,000 donors. The previous record for Kansas was 644. How did he do it? The internet. [...]

Kentucky's Attorney General Jack Conway announced on Thursday that he is going to run for Senate in the 2010 election. Besides our Jim James event for Obama (thwarted by James' unfortunate fall in Iowa), we have tried to leave politics to other web pages. That said, we are big fans of Conway and officially send him our endorsement (could this be the first media endorsement?). On Monday afternoon, April 13, 2009, Conway will kickoff his campaign at the Ali Center at 4:30pm. It's free and should be a great opportunity for you to get a better idea about [...]
