I posted this at DK but thought I’d expand on it here.
[new] Disco Disaster (14+ / 0-)
The cut from Obama to McFear reminded me of when I was a club DJ years ago. Sometimes the floor would be alive, people movin’, groovin’ on the good foot and then I’d screw up (not often but..) and cue the wrong record. BAM, you could feel the funk leave the room.
CNN sucks as a DJ.
“Play something good!”

more on the B-side
And then I realized… like I was shot… like I was shot with a diamond… a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God… the genius of that. The genius…..
Apocalypse Now, Kurtz
Imagine you are an old, white Repuglycan watching the Obama Speech from Madison, WI.
“hmmm, look at that, Ma, they’re havin’ a good time. That Obama guy can really give a speech.”
and then the slam mix to McOld doing his doomsday redux stump piece of shit speech.
“Oh my goodness, who changed the channel to The Lawrence Welk Hour? oh.. that’s our guy. Ma, we’re totally fucked.”
SO, maybe it wasn’t bad programming on CNN’s part, but a defining moment in this election.

I like the image of Sheik Yerbuti to go with your disco theme.
Zappa was a very thoughtful man.
the basics are what’s really important. I think those of us who pay so much attention to the details can forget that. And the basics here are all about changing the conversation from one of fear to one of hope. It might not solve all of our problems, but it gives us a platform from which to start on a different journey. I think CNN did us the favor last night of showing the fork in the road.
