The Greatness of the White Stripes

Conan O'Brien is leaving late late night, destined to become the new and improved host of the Tonight Show. For the last night of the Conan O'Brien Show, the White Stripes agreed to appear as the musical guest. Although I missed the show, here is an appearance they made in 2003 on Conan's show, compliments of Pitchfork.com.

The music speaks for itself:

Please sir, can you pass the logic?

It seems that the "Conservative Idiocracy" theme continues...

McCain's tweet not sitting well with one newspaper

McCain has been Twittering his '10 Porkiest Projects.'

WASHINGTON (CNN) – A South Carolina newspaper isn’t too happy with what John McCain’s been Twittering.

McCain has been using the microblogging site to post a near-daily list of the “10 Porkiest projects” in the omnibus spending bill. On Wednesday, the Arizona senator posted “#6. $950,000 for a Convention Center in Myrtle Beach, SC.”

The Myrtle Beach Sun News editorialized Friday that McCain is using the site “to make congressional earmarks a political wedge issue for the Republicans” by posting such earmarks without context.

The paper wrote that “readers of McCain's Convention Center tweet are now invited to think — without the inconvenience of critical reflection — that the Myrtle Beach Convention Center project has no value.”

The editorial argued instead that the convention center project has the potential to create long-term wealth and jobs in the coastal resort city.

“The irony in all this,” the paper wrote, is that the earmark was inserted into the spending bill by one of McCain’s closest friends: South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham
