Go vote!
I can’t even deal with you today until you go vote.
Gina Vivinetto’s Greatest Hits endorses Barack Obama.
Even if you have never heard a Roseanne Cash song in your life – and if you haven’t, you really should – please read her very funny piece in The Nation wherein she makes a case for herself to replace Sarah Palin as John McCain‘s vice presidential nominee.
It’s very, very funny and I’m sure her daddy (Johhny Cash!) is giggling up in heaven. Do you think he still wears all black up there? I bet he’s easy to locate.
Add Bon Jovi to the growing list of famous bands irked that the McCain-Palin campaign is using their songs at events.
Jon Bon Jovi, who gave a $30,000 plate dinner for Barack Obama in his own home, issued a statement about his song “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” being played at McCain-Palin rallies:
“We are surprised to hear that our song, “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” was used by the McCain campaign at rallies yesterday and today. We wrote this song as a thank you to those who have supported us over the past twenty-five years. The song has since become a banner for our home state of New Jersey and the defacto theme song for our partnerships around the country to build homes and rebuild communities. Although we were not asked, we do not approve of their use of ‘Home.'”
So now Heart, Foo Fighters, Bon Jovi, John Mellencamp and Jackson Browne have balked over the GOP playing their music.
Tina Fey has been garnering big laughs with her terrific Sarah Palin sketches on Saturday Night Live, but Fey’s got her own show to worry about now.
With 30 Rock‘s season premiere the week before the presidential election, Fey has vowed to the New York Daily News that if the McCain-Palin ticket wins, she can’t continue the bit:
“We’re gonna take it week by week. If she wins, I’m done. I can’t do that for four years,” Fey told the magazine. “And by ‘I’m done,’ I mean I’m leaving Earth.”
You and me both, sister.
Because John McCain possesses a quality every good president should have – the total inability to multi-task – he has been canceling all kinds of engagements this week to fly back to Washington and help the Bush administration focus on the economy. Pause.
Huh? Yes, McCain wants to postpone his campaign to roll his sleeves up and dive right into this economic disaster.
McCain tried to weasel his way out of Friday’s debate with Barack Obama. He also blew off his appearance tonight on The Late Show with David Letterman .
Dave was not pleased. But, it sure is fun to watch him vent:
