Louis Armstrong: Hello Dolly
2008-06-01 13:05:00 There is just something about Louis Armstrong . Yes, he had a very unique voice. He played the trumpet as well, or better, than anyone but there was something more. He was a showman. Even in this very poor quality video, his showmanship shines through. Enjoy.

We are going to come together, not
2008-06-01 09:47:00 Although there is a lot of talk about togetherness and unity, I’m not seeing it. I’m not seeing anything close to unity. I keep hearing that WWF guy yelling, “Let’s get ready to rumble!!!” The evidence is clear for those who want to see.

It?s over. Who won?
2008-06-01 02:14:00 Oh, no. Not the race of the democratic nomination but the Rules and By-Laws committee have concluded their business. So, who won? I’m not sure that anyone won or lost.

MI Challenge
2008-06-01 01:22:00 From EmptyWheel who is live blogging from the meeting: As I said in this post, I was skeptical that Mark Brewer–the MDP Chair–would be able to make a strong case for the 69-59 split. I was wrong. The key to Mark Brewer’s success was in stating clearly that there was no way to measure the “fair reflection” of ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "MI Challenge ", url: "http://www.whereistheoutrage.net/wordpre ss/2008/05/31/mi-challenge/" });

Choas that is my Democratic Party
2008-06-01 00:53:00 OMG!! OMG!!! I’m so depressed. I guarantee that we would never see this type of behavior in the Republican party. This process is extremely painful.
