Dear Pete Seeger,

I love you times infinity plus two.

Kisses,

PS - You too, Boss.

Dudes, click over to [livejournal.com profile] setissma's journal for some excellent VP Puppy Action (also, Vice-President Elect Biden's sister (I think?) and a puppy)

President-elect Obama's first YouTube address! (mostly on the economy)

Which seems like it's going to be a regular thing?

Get it here. Sadly, for US residents only, therefore not for me. :-(

I meant to repost this yesterday, but wasn't home 'till way late.

Will I. Am setting Barack Obama's "Yes We Can" New Hampshire victory speech to music, ripped from the YouTube vid.

Download, put on repeat, and keep on smilin'!

Yay victory speech, yay!

Okay, now I'm crying.

(haha, the girls get a puppy!)

PS - Kenneth Cole is offering 44% off your entire order, in honour of the USA's MADE-OF-AWESOME 44th president!

I am buying myself celebratory election-day boots.

Can someone recommend a twitter feed re: the election for me to subscribe to? I'm in class till 10:30 PM tonight, and don't want to miss the coverage.

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.

First 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.")

Does 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?

([livejournal.com profile] beadattitude, thanks for pointing the vid out! It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, even though I'm not American.)

ETA: And [livejournal.com profile] inalasahl comes through, with a link to Listen To YouTube! Yay! Exactly what I needed!
