The Roots Live is an archive a fan made of live concerts of the Legendary Roots Crew. If you've never been to a Roots show, you can preview it here. The GOAT MC Black Thought, Questlove & the other band members put on the best show you'll prolly ever see, in rap or any music genre.

The push up is a good exercise, & a good test of general physical fitness, at any age.

The Conservative Nanny State

Thom Hartmann recommends economist Dean Baker's book "The Conservative Nanny State" (website).

Baker offers his book in free open-source style over the internet here.

Obama > H Clinton in winning EC votes


I have 2 words for H Clinton. Scoreboard Biatch!

Despit H Clinton swift-boat-ish ReThuglican tactics on Obama, Obama is still the better candidate to beat McCain:

Obama 280 v McCain 258
H Clinton 276 v McCain 262

Barring an Obama scandal, H Clinton has no realistic chance of catching Obama in the Pledged Delegates or overall total vote, 2 measures of ACTUAL VOTES from regular American voters. The way H Clinton is smearing Obama, if there were any Obama scandal existing, H Clinton would have surely exploited it by now. Realistically the only chance H Clinton can win is by unelected "Super Delegates".

H Clinton already has a legion of irrational right-wingnut haters. If she steals the Dem Nomination by Super Delegates, she will also have a very rational new legion of haters on the left & the center, whose vote H Clinton defecated on in the Dem primary. Given the hate H Clinton would then across the political spectrum, I would not be surprised to see a 1984 Regan v Mondale style ethering of H Clinton by McCain.

Howard Dean & the other Dem Party TIs need to do something before H Clinton gives John McLame McSame the chance to continue WOAT Bush's horrible policies.

Where are the fair-weather ex-Dem candidates? Dodds had the nuts [||] to take a stand & back Obama. What about Edwards, Richardson, Kucinich?

The sad thing is that H Clinton wasn't so selfish, she might could become Obama's VP, Supreme Court judge, or the Sen Majority leader to replace wack bitchmade Harry Reid.

Instead, H Clinton is taking the risk of being persona non grata to Democrats, say 100X Ralph Nader.

TH has similar thoughts on this fiasco, here.
