No king but the law

Instead of "the President shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed," we have: "Presidents should try to obey the law except when they decree there are good reasons to violate it." Instead of "in America the law is king," we have: "we can only apply the law when it won't undermine bipartisanship." Instead of "treaties shall be the supreme Law of the Land," we have: "we can't have torture prosecutions because they'll distract from health care." To "no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause" and "No person shall be . . . deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law," we have added: "unless there are Terrorists who want to harm us, in which case we spy without warrants and imprison people for life without charges."

Glenn takes on a pernicious and pervasive establishment mentality.

It is about that time.

Should I make another countdown?

Jimmy Carter leaves the Southern Baptist Convention

So my decision to sever my ties with the Southern Baptist Convention, after six decades, was painful and difficult. It was, however, an unavoidable decision when the convention's leaders, quoting a few carefully selected Bible verses and claiming that Eve was created second to Adam and was responsible for original sin, ordained that women must be "subservient" to their husbands and prohibited from serving as deacons, pastors or chaplains in the military service. This was in conflict with my belief - confirmed in the holy scriptures - that we are all equal in the eyes of God.

Radiohead: Glastonbury 1997

It's the full Performance - do yourself a favor and let a good bit load before you press play - the video is audience, so it's Ok, but the audio is top notch:

Twin Sister Live

TWIN SISTER show & IT NEVER SNOWS from todd fadel on Vimeo.

Not the best quality, but I think it's the only one online. If you don't want to watch the whole thing, fast forward to 6 minutes in to see them do "Ben" followed by "Scoundrel."

Trent Reznor before Nine Inch Nails

Holy. Shit. Watch the whole thing to really get the effect.
