Wow. Why are the best political "commercials" not commercials but homemade ones?

Hey everybody, it's time for my tunes for the week. This week, Rihanna spends a third week at the summit, while Jennifer Hudson (pictured above) makes it into the top-5. Songs by Apocalyptica, Secondhand Serenade, and Tami Chynn make the biggest jumps, while former big hits by Jason Aldean, Foo Fighters, Maroon5, Antoine Clamaran, Solange, Jesse McCartney, and Keith Anderson drop out. Link-O-Rama is still in full effect, so you can click on the name of any artist to go to their website (rightclick and you can more easily bring it up in another tab or window). Peace out. UPDATE: Prayers go out to Jennifer Hudson and her family, who were victim to a horrible crime, with Hudson's mother and brother being shot, and her nephew missing...

I've been lax, but a bit guilty. I was ready to make up a "Cee U Next Tuesday" special triple-award for the week, since the republican idiot trifecta of Nancy Pfotenhauer, Michelle Bachmann, and their pageant queen Ms. Informed Sarah Palin, I felt like I was ready for too much seeming ve-jay-jay hate. That's by far not the case, except in the case of these three. I'll expound more later, but in the meantime, I've been enjoying Palin's trip in the waters answering a simple question about what her JOB is that she's running for, and giving a wrong answer to even that. Here's Chris Matthews, who usually works me cause he's a little too "for the game", schooling botox-face Nancy Pfotenhauer who looks like she's having an aneurysm defending Palin's answer. Watch in awe.

The State of the McCain campaign at this point.... Which always elicits such reaction in myself... Ha Ha! it IS to laugh!

Hey everyone, it's time for my tunes for the week. This week Rihanna spends a second week on top, while Estelle (pictured above) makes it to the top-5. Former big hits by Sara Bareilles, Rihanna, and OneRepublic drop out of the chart, while Robin Thicke, Morgan Page, and Metallica make the biggest jumps. Link-O-Rama is still in effect, so you can click on the name of any artist to go to their website (right click to bring it up in another tab or window). Welcome Autumn!

Levi Stubbs (Bottom left) with the Four Tops It's a sad day in music today, as the great Levi Stubbs, lead singer of the Four Tops, passed away at the age of 72 . When I was a child I adored the Tops (and by no means were they the thing in the early to mid-1980's), and "Bernadette" is in the top-5 of my favorite songs of all time. In fact I considered "Reach Out, I'll Be There"/"Standing In The Shadows Of Love"/"Bernadette" the "holy trinity" of pop music. I carried their Anthology double-cassette in my Walkman with me everywhere, and their music has lifted my spirits and soothed my pain for decades. I regret not seeing them live.

Does Todd Palin even work anymore? With all the shit about he being a union guy and all, he sure ain't minding any business up there, and he sure isn't there to nanny the baby (that's apparently the 7-year-old's job)... Maybe that's why he has so much time to play Desperate Housewife in Alaska to get his ex-brother-in-law canned? Corallary to deep thought - When is the network news going to give equal time to Palin's involvement with the secessionist Alaskan Independence Party?
