In 1971, Eugene McDaniels had a point that is worth revisiting every post-election, regardless of who is President.

Mr. President, we have work to do to make things better - all of us, together . This is the message - remember those who struggled and [...]

When all the shouting was done, the American people on Tuesday more or less ratified the status quo that existed at the start of the day: They returned President Obama to the White House for another four years, reaffirmed Republican control of the House and [...]

We're all feeling pretty great about Obama's victory last night. If you want some tips on how to celebrate, take a few from our Commander-in-Gif, Barack Obama.

Last night was a nail biter till the end. But I ended up celebrating; and even if you didn't hopefully you could at least find a local race to enjoy. So, since I tend to lean towards the lists, here are my favorite songs to celebrate to. : The Cure - Just Like Heaven :  Can you find a much more upbeat song than this? The 80s synth line carries us into a world where people run away with each other, like every damn excellent rom-com ever. Has there ever been a band that sounded so different from [...]

We don't get into much political discussion here, but Barack Obama 's presidential acceptance speech seems important enough to post, and until we have a dubstep remix of it, we'll have to go with the raw original version.

Hoy es un día clave para la política mundial, aunque siempre lo es cuando se elige a un presidente de los Estados Unidos. Esta noche los norteamericanos decidirán si confían cuatro años más en Barack Obama o si prefieren que sea el republicano Mitt Romney quien ocupe la Casa Blanca. Atrás quedarán semanas de campaña política por todos los estados del país, donde se alternaron discursos políticos con actuaciones musicales. Y es que, especialmente desde la anterior campaña de Obama, los músicos se están involucrando cada vez más activamente en el mundo de la política. [...]
