This past week I got to attend the DNC Convention and take in some of the music on Thursday. So here are a few clips which include:
Chuck D (with intro from Jim Hightower and an interview with Chuck D himself)
Yonder Mountain String Band
Sheryl Crow
(Sorry I could not include Stevie Wonder's 'Signed Sealed and Delivered' - too busy singing and dancing)

And, some highlights of Al Gore and of Barack Obama speaking...

Howdy, BlueNC. DW is again asking for your help in expanding a recent blog post. DW is looking for information about where the major party candidates for president and vice president stand on capital punishment. What we have so far is below.

DW appreciates all links, videos, blogs, leads, ideas, and irate ramblings.

   
John McCain knew he had to put Sarah Palin on the ticket when he saw how good she made Ted Stevens look on camera, how deferential she was to a crusty Republican and how much she reminds him of Patty Duke.

I've been in Iowa for a week, doing whatever it takes to win Iowa and the Democratic Nomination for Senator Joe Biden. As everybody here at BlueNC knows, I believe in Joe.

I'm beyond talking about Chuck Grassley and Tom Carper's Bankruptcy Bill, or the Clarence Thomas hearings that were cut short by Anita Hill's team. I'm beyond pedantic enucleations of back-door bureaucratic negotiations. I'm way beyond Hillary bashing. I'm not even asking for money. Instead, I'm going to tell you a story that in some ways goes back to a young college student in his small town's only diner, and in other ways goes back to a young man growing up in Delaware. Hopefully, you will indulge me as I go back in to my past, our past, and Joe Biden's past with some of my recollections and a few quotes that help tell the story. To those enamored with brevity, I apologize for the commodious topics covered in this diary. I think it's a rewarding read, but it's not for the faint of heart. Perhaps it will tell you more about a great Democratic Senator and a little about ourselves. And so it begins ...
