New Link

So let me be the 5 millionth person to add the link for will.i.am’s video “Yes We Can”.

I have been re-reading Fear and Loathing: On The Campaign Trail ‘72 lately and this is what the late, great Dr. Thompson had to say early on in the book:

“How many more of these goddamn elections are we going to have to write off as lame but ‘regrettably necessary’ holding actions? And how many more of these stinking, double-downer sideshows will we have to go through before we can get ourselves straight enough to put together some kind of national election that will give me and at least 20 million other people I tend to agree with a chance to vote for something, instead of always being faced with that old familiar choice between the lesser of two evils?”

I hope we’re there. ‘Cause more and more these days, the Clinton crew is looking just like a bunch of crusty old political hacks.

Like Hubert Humphrey. He had experience, too…
