"I'm not looking for sweet talk"

Dinesh Dsouza asks:
"Imagine if McCain came to the convention and spoke incessantly about compassion and how he was inspired by the biblical mandate: we are our brothers' keepers! This would be the lead story on the evening news. So why aren't the networks covering the fact that Barack Obama's half-brother George lives in a 6 by 10 foot hut in the slums of Kenya?"

Of course we know the answer to why the networks aren't covering it. Should Obama help his half-brother? Probably. Should Sarah Palin's 17-year old be nailed (pardon the pun) for being pregnant out of wedlock by our media while Obama has a brother living on one dollar a month only being reported by an Italian journalist for Vanity Fair? Come on.

In better news, what a year for music. Still coming out in 08 in order of excitement:
  1. The Killers -- Day and Age in November
  2. Coldplay -- Prospects March EP in December
  3. Margot -- Animal and Not Animal in September/October
  4. Ray LaMontagne -- Gossip In the Grain in October
  5. Jon McLaughlin -- OK Now in October
  6. Josiah Leming -- EP in October

I'm sure there's more, but that's a pretty good line up for a long drive to work this fall.
