I was searching through YouTube earlier looking for some road music for Taylor Marsh who I am guest posting for again this week, as she moves cross country to D.C.. I ran across this great clip of Eric Clapton and Sheryl Crow doing Little Wing: Enjoy! Clapton and Steve Winwood just announced a 14 city U.S. tour, FYI, beginning June 10. Too bad for me, Eastport, ME isn’t on the tour! Sphere: Related Content

President’s Day
This is just odd, in my opinion (via Top of the Ticket):
Bill Clinton: Obama Handled Controversial Stimulus Well
Former President Bill Clinton was on The Today Show this morning. He gave team Obama some kudo’s on handling the economic stimulus bill, telling NBC’s Ann Curry that he thought President Barack Obama is “off to a good start.” Clinton, who left his successor with a federal budget surplus, offers George W. Bush’s successor high marks for winning a $787-billion economic stimulus one month in office – a spending plan that pushes an already swollen Bush-era federal deficit well past...
Monday Morning Java Jolt: Clinton Heads to Asia
As Taylor mentioned here yesterday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in Asia this week and her trip should give us plenty to talk about. Clinton is traveling to Asia where she will “seek to develop a strong coordinated response to the global financial crisis between the U.S. and Asia’s economic powers during her four-nation regional tour.” Mrs. Clinton cited, in particular, China’s “robust stimulus plan” as the type of action the Obama administration is hoping to see from...

Weekend Music
Happy Valentines Day everyone. I’m taking it easy, getting ready for a big week. Browsing around on YouTube, I found this amazing and haunting clip of Stevie Nicks performing “Beauty and the Beast” with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Beauty and the Beast was first released on The Wild Heart (1983). I forgot how truly lovely this song is… Enjoy. Sphere: Related Content
Stimulus Passes, Heads to Obama
The stimulus bill has passed in the House and the Senate and will now head to President Obama’s desk to be signed. So much for bi-partisanship… not one House Republican supported the bill. The vote in the House was 246 to 183, with just 7 Democrats joining all 176 Republicans in opposition. In the Senate, the vote of 60 to 38 was similarly partisan. Only three centrist Republicans joined 55 Democrats and two independents in favor. President Obama...
Larry Sabato Sees Dim Chance of Republican Success in 2010
He’s one of the best political prognosticators in the business, and, peering into his Crystal Ball, Sabato sees more Senate gains for the Democrats next year: Remarkably, even after losing six net Senate seats in 2006 and another seven or eight (pending the Minnesota resolution) in 2008, the GOP still has more seats up (19) than Democrats (17) in 2010. (There will be a big reversal in 2012, with 24 Democratic seats to only 9 Republican ones-but that’s getting...
