Look who’s on Page Two of the Providence Journal! That’s our own Eric Smith (in a different picture we can’t use.) Rick Massimo has a piece about the intersection of music, politics, and the Dose this past year. DJs spin every night in the Tap Room of Local 121, and on Tuesdays it’s always the …
No really, I did. Last night I dreamt that I was hanging out with Barack and Michelle, and they were my friends, and they really liked me. What a way to start the new year. Only 20 more days and we can start to breathe again. In the meantime — let the merchandizing begin. The …
More shirts. MoveOn.org has a new line of Obama T-shirts for sale. For a donation of $12 or more ($14 for the long-sleeved) you can be wearing one of these on Inauguration Day. (They can not be delivered for the holidays.) If I may speak to girls for a moment, I got their earlier election …
Here’s a pdf of Obama’s 60-some point questionnaire for potential appointments. Facebook pages, potentially embarrassing emails, any ‘controversial’ issues you’ve worked on, even private diaries. Check-ups, gun ownership, and, yes — ‘associations’ that could be used to ‘impugn your character’ are all on the table…
Least hot look for a guy, ever.

“If you are incapable of mustering pride in this moment, and if you cannot appreciate how meaningful this day is for millions of black folks who stood in lines for up to seven hours to vote, then your cynicism has become such an encumbrance as to render you all but useless to the liberation movement.” …
When difficult times arise, I find it comforting to turn to the words of the great American poet, Bob Dylan. Tonight I think back to High Water from Dylan’s Love & Theft album, where he said: “High water risin’ – risin’ night and day, all the gold and silver are being stolen away…Things are breakin’ …
In the grand tradition of clever people with far too much time on their hands… [youtube]W3ijYVyhnn0[/youtube]
Apparently I was mistaken when I thought that former L’Trimm singer Lady Tigra was the only one singing optimistic political songs in this fretful election year; her ode to Michelle Obama is flawed, yet wonderful anyway because it’s more about the American psyche and less about, say, war and our impending environmental downfall. Or economic …

I’m sorta surprised at the lack of commemmorative Obama bobbleheads being sold these days, because I feel like everybody would buy one, right? But I was a little surprised–nay, horrified–to discover this morning that Mr O’s head has been made into something far more salacious. After the jump, behold the alarmingly smily Obama dildo:
