The Big Muddy

Bruce Springsteen's performance on Conan O'Brien the other night is reminiscent of his hero Pete Seeger's performance of "The Big Muddy" on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in 1968.

Armed Madhouse

Greg Palast's new book Armed Madhouse is out today, and he's suggesting that people buy it immediately, not only for his own self-aggrandizement but as a political rebuff to obnoxious New England rich twit Ann Coulter, whose latest frothing-at-the-mouth effusions are also published today.

I think that this is quixotic, since people like Scaife are going to buy Coulter's book in bulk to run up her sales. But it's a worthy effort nonetheless.

Supposedly, Coulter's book was published on June 6, 2006 because it is "the Mark of the Beast." Don't believe that for a moment. Coulter published her book on June 6 to exact revenge for the fact that her side lost on D-Day.
