Political Imagery

She may call herself a barracuda but she doesn't speak for Heart


Exclusive: Heart's Nancy Wilson responds to McCain campaign's use of 'Barracuda' at Republican convention | Current Affairs, Music, Music Biz | Hollywood Insider | EW.com:

"'Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song 'Barracuda' no longer be used to promote her image. The song 'Barracuda' was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women. (The 'barracuda' represented the business.) While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there.'"

Ed Morrissey is an idiot

Ed Morrissey of Captain's Quarters is one of the republicans I have been monitoring for a while since he seems to echo the fear of many republicans : That McCain against Obama would be toast and that nothing would be better for uniting the Republican party against one common enemy than to have Hillary Clinton win the nomination.

So what does the big pussy do? He goes out of his way to create a non-story out of this image :


Image found at Democratic Underground

.

Doesn't matter that the fucking office is not a headquarter for the Obama campaign. All it takes is a volunteer to be there for the wingnuts to go crazy.

At least Robert Farley over at Lawyers, Guns and Money puts their idiocy into perspective.

All am waiting is for the sHillarybots to smell the batshit and join in the attacks.

Someone pass the popcorn.

QUOTES

The question is whether or not linking makes earning those things easier or more difficult. To be honest I really don't want you to shape my thoughts. I'd rather you provide me the material to shape my own. The quality of the material you provide and the way you provide it will define your reputation in my mind and hence will define the attention you will get from me. Remember, attention is something that you get from me, but you don't get it for nothing, you have to earn it. In my mind, linking helps you earn it, not linking doesn't.

There is something about the interconnectedness of blogging and the web in general that makes information silos seem unnatural. You're feeding off the web for information but not necessarily feeding back into it. You are utilizing only a portion of the power of the medium by not linking in order to forward your own goal (being a thought shaper I guess..), which is fine - to each his own. I guess the gist of it is that information silos are a bad thing, unless the silo is me. Bah.
