The new track from The Fireman, aka Paul McCartney and the producer Youth. Contrary to their previous efforts which were well-done if straight-ahead electronica this is balls-out blues rock. I’ve seen it described as “Helter Skelter as played by Led Zeppelin”, and that’s not far off.

Computer mouse pointer magnets. Cute!

A demo of Panasonic’s 150″ TV.

Not exactly, but Mark Steyn’s on the case.

More on the role of ACORN and their “community organizers” in bad loans.

Yeah, that’ll get some nice random unknown opinions.

PDS gets gored. (No, not Al).

Data indicates maybe not.

Not a significant shocker.

Besides George W. Bush in 2003 and Alan Greenspan and John McCain in 2005 (in both cases debate was shut down by Democrats claiming it’s racist to check peoples’ credit before giving them a mortgage), the New York Times in 1999 also saw the Fannie collapse coming.

Kid Rock branded beer.

Kathleen Parker at NRO is today’s Kos talking point, but they don’t have the context that she’s been all but rooting for Obama since Mitt Romney dropped out. Rick Moran has a more even-keel analysis that’s neither too Debbie Downer nor too cheerleadery.

UPDATE: Byron York has more medicine. Mona Charen largely splits the difference, although all 3 agree that making Palin try to recite McCain talking points on command is deeply stupid.

Jeff Goldstein discusses Democrats’ increasing friendliness with Stalin-style censorship, and why the media won’t defend themselves.

Was it a health spa? Spinal Tap would be disappointed.

Playboy Bunnies are being laid off, although one could argue that their business model has a lot of other problems nowadays too.

In the long Internet tradition of joke forms, here’s an Obama Truth Squad incident report.

Which officially puts Europe to the right of the Democratic Party.

The Annenberg Challenge files are showing that Ayres is definitely far more than “some guy down the street”.

A lot of the pork, including the ACORN/La Raza payola, is not in the final bill.

Hey Vladimir, play with the Islamic bull, sometimes you get the horns.

He’s almost that direct, too.

It’s another one of those things that sounds good but actually makes things worse.

Looks like we have a bailout deal.

The Model T is 100 years old. I didn’t realize just how finicky it was to drive, but Popular Mechanics goes for a ride in a working example.
