Isley Brothers - Shout

Although most people remember this song and think of Otis Day and the Knights from Animal House, it was the Isley Brothers who made it popular almost 20 years earlier.  Shout! (This is, of course, not to be confused with Tears for Fears and their tune - Shout.)

I’m sorry that the video quality is so bad.  I’m looking for a better version or recording of this song.

Computer fried

dead-computer Computer fried

I bought a computer specifically for blogging and video editing. As it turns out that was a GREAT idea since that new computer (less than a year) is dead as a doornail. It was great while it lasted. A Dell XPS 710. Fast. Could render video in no time. Well, after 45 minutes on the phone with Dell, the motherboard has given me a raspberry and needs to be replaced.

Blogging will slow but will continue. Hopefully, everything will be up and running with in the next 3 - 4 days.

Obama aid resigns

Okay, here’s the difference that I see - Hillary Clinton has personally compared Barack Obama to George W. Bush, Karl Rove and Ken Starr. Yet, the Clinton camp was quick to put out another question for money with this pitch -

Just one day after Senator Obama promised to begin attacking Hillary, a senior Obama advisor has called her a “monster.”

That’s right — a “monster.”

At the same time, Senator Obama’s aides have begun rehashing the old negative attacks of the 90’s against Hillary.

This is not the politics of hope — it’s the usual attack style politics that we have seen time and time again.

And it must stop.

Please notice that nowhere did he mention that Hillary Clinton was doing the same thing. Nowhere does he mention that Hillary was planning on stopping.

So, what happened? Samantha Powers, a foreign policy adviser, told a Scottish newspaper that “She is a monster, too — that is off the record — she is stooping to anything.” What happens in Scotland clearly doesn’t stay in Scotland. Quicker than you can say, “Oh, bugger.” The US newspapers were running with this story. Of course, Hillary Clinton’s crew jumped on the bandwagon. What they don’t mention is that the remark was suppose to be off the record. Does that excuse the reference? No. When you are talking to reporters you have to understand that you need to be careful how you phrase things. This is a given. Ms. Powers is a journalist by trade! She knew better. She has resigned. Her statement was perfect.
