Excellent video.

I was surprised at how good the new TV on the Radio is. They’ve been around long enough to start sucking, but they still seem to be putting forth a good effort.

A different kind of soundtrack, but worth sharing:

The Quitta From Wasilla turned up in Wisconsin today, and well, all reports I can find say you couldn’t hear a word unless you were close to the speakers. As Glen Blech would say, “We will surround you.” Guess the “free market” in Madison spoke.

I noticed they had big video screens too, for their 500 people who showed up? Over 100,000 showed multiple times for the pro-union rallies and apparently they never had one video screen. Pathetic.

If anyone wonders what it would be like to be the child of a Randroid, wonder no more. (Spoiler: It sucked and daddy used Rand as an excuse not to give a rip about anything but his own personal gratification. I know, I know, you were expecting him to be a loving, mature and totally engaged parent. Shocking, isn’t it.)

Anyone know whatever became of the “Pulling Over For Prosperity” protest thingy from a few Sundays ago? We were supposed to pull off the road and do, uh, nothing?
