Great Moments in Transcription
From Time's Swampland, quoting Obama:
before there was King the icon and his magnificent dream,
there was King the young preacher and a people who found
themselves suffering under the yolk of oppression.
Cholesterol levels were through the roof.

Russert: don't we sit on the Security Council?
Clinton: the point is i was very strongly in favor of only give a Bush a year to attack Iraq
Russert: oh good
Clinton: it wasn't a vote for force
Russert: the title of the bill was a vote for use of force
Clinton: we can sit here and argue about who voted for what but the point is Obama was supporting Bush in 2004

JOHN EDWARDS FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
A while ago, I created a post titled a post "Chris Dodd for Senate Majority Leader".
Dodd has dropped out and more people jumping on the bandwagon for Chris Dodd to replace Harry Reid .
Today, a new post based on John Edwards passion for fighting and his experience litigating against corporations.
If he doens't get the Democratic nomination, and he doesn't want to be Vice President, what better job than U.S. Attorney General in an Obama administration?
*** John Edwards for Attorney General ***

DEAR JAY LENO: THANKS FOR THE DOUGHNUTS, BUT FUCK YOU
Letter from the Writes Guild to its members:
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel Live in Los Angeles, and Late Night with Conan O’Brien here in New York – also are returning Wednesday night, but without their striking writers. Leno, O’Brien and Kimmel are all members of the Guild and have been and continue to be extremely supportive of our strike and their writing staffs. For that we truly are grateful.
Nonetheless, they are coming back without writers and without a new Guild contract, forced back on the air by companies that refuse to sit at the table and bargain with us. We cannot let that pass.
It’s a difficult and painful decision, but the Guilds East and West have determined that we will picket outside the studios of these programs, beginning January 2.
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel Live in Los Angeles, and Late Night with Conan O’Brien here in New York – also are returning Wednesday night, but without their striking writers. Leno, O’Brien and Kimmel are all members of the Guild and have been and continue to be extremely supportive of our strike and their writing staffs. For that we truly are grateful.
Nonetheless, they are coming back without writers and without a new Guild contract, forced back on the air by companies that refuse to sit at the table and bargain with us. We cannot let that pass.
