A great deal of their music is in fact timeless. With his new presentation of The Wall, Roger Waters has absolutely claimed the honor of being "The Last Living And Relevant Real Rock Star On The Face Of The Earth." And the performances in this film, particularly "Echoes," are breathtaking.

But GD? C'mon man...

I posted a link to the Naomi Wolf documentary "The Shock Doctrine" here a week ago and it dropped from sight like a rock wearing cement shoes. I was even called out for "attempting to score political points from the Aurora Massacre."

This is why Romney has a good chance of winning and this is why the GOP is likely to keep control of the US House: the reality of what depths the GOP will descend to in order to purchase and/or extort control of this country is simply TOO HORRIFYING AND UNPLEASANT TO HONESTLY DISCUSS HERE!

"Political points?" Try to remember something: this is not a football game. There is no "next season." If the Kochs and friends succeed in November, this place is going to be screwed for a long, long time...

...but if that happens, we won't be bitching about it here because DU will be gone.
