1. I was flipping through the channels last night and

stopped on Joe Scarybourough's Scared Country show on MSNBC and he had this segment on about dissing Bush on Late Night. He played some of Bright Eye's song, saying this was his son's favorite band, then he said, wait that's not a band, that's my son-just when the song reached its climax.

What was that all about? Ididn't think he would be Joey boy's son but in retrospect he kind of looks a little Scarybourough. tell me it was a figure of speech (a figure I apparently can't make out).

"When The President Talks To God"

When the president talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women’s' rights
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Are the consonants all hard or soft?
Is he resolute all down the line?
Is every issue black or white?
Does what God say ever change his mind
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
Agree which convicts should be killed?
Where prisons should be built and filled?
Which voter fraud must be concealed
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
That's what God recommends

When the president talks to God
Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade
When the president talks to God

When the president talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he's not?
That that voice is just inside his head
When he kneels next to the presidential bed
Does he ever smell his own bullshit
When the president talks to God?

I doubt it

I doubt it

5. Our new Bob Dylan

Pay attention to this guy. He knows how to speak it and may just start to wake a few more of our brothers and sisters from their slumber.

For those of you who haven't heard any other music by Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes you can catch a live show from DC on NPR all songs considered.
