Thursday Stuff

The Spinto Band ("Oh Mandy," kind of a dippy little tune with a catchy video, but I'm sure the kids like it - the guys are from nearby Wilmington, DE)...



...and hey, McBush, if you're going to steal a song by Jackson Browne, try this one, OK (though "Running On Empty" is oddly appropriate)...



...Robert Greenwald's videos from Brave New Films are all great, but this one is terrific (re: Obama smears from Fox Noise)...



...and James Roosevelt, Jr., FDR's grandson, has a special message for Senator McBush on the 73rd anniversary of signing Social Security into law (here).



Oh, and on the subject, Think Progress tells us here that Dem staffers in New Mexico attempted to sing "Happy Birthday to Social Security" outside of a McBush campaign office, only to have the birthday cake thrown in a trash can, presumably by one or more of McBush's campaign staff.

Aside from the sheer wastefulness, it shows a certain inconsistency. After all, McBush had no trouble with this cake; you know, the one he presented with Dubya on the airport tarmac for his birthday while the Ninth Ward drowned as a result of Hurricane Katrina.

And by the way, this sounds like more trouble too (snark).
