DANCING BACKWARDS, BUT NOT IN HIGH HEELS
The "numbers" for last night's address to congress are out. Over 21 million folks watched, with the distribution amongst the three major networks at just about even. FOX, the only broadcaster not to carry the speech, drew 6.5M Total Viewers for the premiere of "So You Think You Can Dance?". Enough said.

'Medi-scare:' Senior-alert from GOP: The Swamp
FOR HALLOWEEN
In political circles, there is a term for the tactic that the Republican National Committee is deploying with a new run of national cable ads and TV ads airing in Florida: "Medi-scare".

SOMETHING TO BOO ABOUT
The Orlando Weekly has taken one of its brethren to task for publishing an opinion piece called "The health-care debate deserves an honest forum" under the auspices of its "New Voices" demographic olive branch: "a forum for readers under 30." ...The problem with the piece was that it didn't really appear out of the thin air of youthful concern, but rather out of the the typing fingers of a known Republican operative. Now, that's something to boo about.

Rachel Maddow:Fighting off the fringe
THEY'RE JUST SAYING
Right-wingers practicing what the Maoists call "criticism/self-criticism"? Well, maybe not. But last night's Rachel Maddow featured a courageous journey into what Che would have called "the belly of the beast" by Jonathan Henke of the conservative blog TheNextRight. Rachel was discussing Henke's "forcebul pushback", against the right's lunatic fringe, what he calls "the fevered swamps". He was there to decry what he fears is the destruction of the "intellectual foundations of the right" by those who "traffic in the paranoid conspiracy theories" and "take away from our abilities to discuss important issues". Sound familiar?

YouTube - Rammer Jammer-(Give em Hell Alabama) Rap w/some lyrics
YO! ALABAMA!
Here is the Alabama Fight Song as a rap song. This is really good, even if you don't like the genre or (how could you!?!)the school.
