Two links

Pitchfork top 500 tracks of the decade. I agree with enough of these, including number one, which I have loved since (spoiler) Stankonia came out. I'm still upset, but not surprised that CD got destroyed at NUKE.

If our Congress can be measured on a scale of feces (and it should), Senator Byron Leslie Dorgan is closer to adorable rabbit droppings than, say, the diseased swine diarrhea that is Michele Bachmann (R-MN). A three-time senator, Dorgan is the author of Take This Job and Ship It: How Corporate Greed and Brain-Dead Politics Are Selling Out America. One of only eight senators to vote “No” on 1999’s financial deregulation, he is now famous for saying: "I think we will look back in 10 years and say we should not have done this, but we did because we forgot the lessons of the past.”
- This piece by Abe Sauer is a great read.
