» New from Greg's blog:

At least, that’s the date that’s currently being given for this.

Ladies and gentlemen, Ricky Jay.

I mean, really. Talk about putting your back into your work.

From the Wired “Underwire” blog, Michael Palin celebrates the 20th Anniversary of his “Around the World in 80 Days” trip.

Seriously, this guy is one of my heroes.

I’ll stop beating this drum after this post, but I stumbled upon the song below earlier today, and I wanted to share it. There’s a good chance a lot of you have already seen this; frankly, I don’t know how I missed it. Aside from the Hollywood glad-handing inherent in the video, I found the composition very moving.

Having watched it, the thing I’ve been thinking, is that this isn’t about Obama. It’s about us, as a nation, red state, blue state, doesn’t matter.

And it’s not about the election. It’s about what comes next. What we do next.

And then there’s this line:

“But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.”

That may be one of the most beautiful, patriotic sentiments I’ve ever heard.

Video below the cut.

Last night, 9:30ish or so, watching Obama speak.

Cheers!

Trautmann, who has much more get-up-and-go than I, it seems, has posted a couple of pages, sans lettering but with colors, from Final Crisis: Resist, which comes out tomorrow.

I’m getting to work, now. Tonight, I get drunk.

Whatever happens, I’m getting drunk.
