The rest are here.

Oct. 22nd, 2008 10:11 pmCallie Shell has been photographing Barack Obama since 2004. (link to 26 of her pictures)
BookNinja pointed me to a frown-making New Yorker piece about an apparent Republican campaign shift from maligning certain words (ie "liberal") to battling against "all 'words' in a quest to discredit Obama". GOD. (Here's the BookNinja item; here's the New Yorker article.)
That's right, them word users, they're bad folks. Not like the rest of us.
(We're fighting the same ridiculous arguement right now in Canada during our election, btw, except here it's "artists" vs "ordinary people", not word-users vs. Phyllis Schlafly.)
I was pleased, therefore, to see this piece: The poetry of Sarah Palin (as mined by Slate writer Hart Seeley from various interviews, speeches, etc.)
FRINSTANCE:
"Haiku"
These corporations.
Today it was AIG,
Important call, there.
(To S. Hannity, Fox News, Sept. 18, 2008)
Balm, I tell you. I mean, schadenfreude, too, but still, balm.

Sep. 24th, 2008 08:35 amFirst of all, YA for Obama FTW! (YA = young adult fiction)
Second, over at that website, one of my favourite people, YA author John Green, has an excellent post about Faith And Science in this election. Those of you who are practicing Christians (I am not) or who at one point were (like me) but who also come from a tradition of intellectual discovery (me too) will find yourself thinking "WORD, John Green. Word up."
(And I suspect those of you who are not part of categories a or b, but who are tired of all this Creationist bull, will also find yourself saying "Word, John Green. Word up.")

"Yes We Can"
Sep. 20th, 2008 09:57 pmDoes anyone have an mp3 of Will I. Am's vid of Barack Obama's "Yes We Can" speech?
Or does someone know how to rip it from the YouTube vid? (here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjXyqcx-mYY) Or can tell me how to do that?
(
beadattitude, thanks for pointing the vid out! It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, even though I'm not American.)
ETA: And
inalasahl comes through, with a link to Listen To YouTube! Yay! Exactly what I needed!
