Some local musicians have created a song that's been getting alot of play on the Opie and Anthony Show in recent days. I've never really been an Opie and Anthony fan but apparently Anthony is or has become some sort of right wing, racist, republican wing-nut who thinks Barack Obama is gonna steal his guns and [.

From the Chicagoist:

Oak Brook-based Ty, Inc. is insisting that the two new dolls they've added to their "TyGirlz Collection" named "Sweet Sasha" and "Marvelous Malia" are not supposed to represent President Barack Obama's daughters, no way, no how, nu uh.

Of course not. They gave the same excuse eight years ago when they released "Bangin' Barbara" and "Juiced-Up Jenna.

Cross-posted at DC To Chicago.

There's a local public television show called Check, Please. The premise is simple: take three people from different walks of life, have each one recommend a favorite restaurant. They eat at all three, and then get together on camera to talk about their experiences.

And he did. Again.

Watching Pete Seeger, who turns 90 in May, I had to wonder if, as he stared out over the huge crowd, he was thinking about everything he went through the blacklisting, the civil rights and anti-war movements, the years in the wilderness and realizing it was all worth it to be alive at this very moment.

Shed A Little Light by James Taylor. The harmonies in the intro still give me chills.

Freedom Highway by The Staple Singers, Dr. King's favorite group. I was originally looking for Long Walk To D.C., but came across this.

Here's some more Staple Singers, a killer version of Buffalo Springfield's For What It's Worth.

Barack Obama asumió oficialmente como presidente de los Estados Unidos el pasado Martes.
Un dia histórico, sin duda.
El ex-senador de Illinois (estado donde vivo) pasó a la historia como el primer presidente Afro-americano en la historia de un país en donde lamentablemente hasta el día de hoy, el racismo y la discriminación son dos monstruos que aun no logran ser completamente exterminados.

244-188. Not a single solitary Republican voted in favor of the stimulus package. Most of them made mouth-noises about it not having enough tax cuts, but it has more to do with the identity of the current inhabitant of the White House.
