a break

a

[sort of]

break from the musical world.

and by that i mean i am sitting here listening to the new Raconteurs album. which is pretty rockin' by the way. sorta epic southern rock. like the white stripes but more massive, like sitting on the porch, drinking hard sweet-tea while a major concert goes on on the front lawn.

im a fan.

anyway, the reason im writing is not to talk about music.

[though i am particularly proud of a new Physics behind the scenes video im working on]

im reading this article on the huffington post. its about Hilary Clinton and how she is just whingeing on and its just starting to look bad. it made me very upset because even though i dont agree with her, or want her to be the nominee, i do want to continue to respect her. and this is getting harder and harder. she is playing a political game that Obama just is not. and its continually making her look bad, i fear she will turn into a joke and how much would that suck for the first

[i might be wrong on that]

female presidental candidate to turn into a punch line. now, im not going to say she should drop out of the race for the good of the sex or whatever, im just saying she should, really, be a better candidate.

in honesty, its pretty cool. at least in the democractic side, the populous is choosing the better candidate, Obama is doing the thing that politicians

[at least i hope]

want to do, they talk about it all the time at least. they want to create a new politics. he has and we are responding.

i just wanted to say, from across the pond, go us!

ps- mom, when im home, remind me to play this for you, its the next generation of the stuff you keep trying to get us to listen to, which, though we moan, we actually like...
