The DNC kicked off the week on a positive message. Some of the highlights are her for you to peruse if you missed it.

The Head On Radio Network is there broadcasting live from the Pepsi Center. We had our technical bumps on day one. Mark Levine stuck it out till the end to provide us the audio feed for all the proceedings. We will be there throughout. Your only source outside the for profit media. Exciting stuff. Guy Jamesландшафт and Mark Levine will be live from the convention daily from noon eastern till 6pm. Followed by Bob Kincaid, Strictly Confidential and yours truly with Fox’d up to round out the evening.

The two best speeches came from the mighty lion himself Ted Kennedy, and Michelle Obama. Both brought the crowd to it’s feet. Mark Levine commented through emotion to observe even the cold hard journalists in radio row were teary and emotional when Teddy took the stage. The Lion. The Legend. Passing the torch of the progressive agenda to Obama. Not the Clinton(s). Rightly so in my opinion.

Cariline Inroduces Ted Kennedy and Teddy Kennedy

Then there was Michelle Obama. Subtle jabs at the right using examples of how she and her family embody family values without using the term. My overall impression of the Obama family is one of honest care and truly passionate love for one another. It;’s a stark contrast to McSame ditching his first wife after an accident that left her disabled. Nope, on the right, it’s about having that trophy wife, or in John McCain’s world, a Sugar Momma!

MSNBC’s embed didn’t play nice. Here’s a link to the video.

The opening night was all very positive and happy. I expect the mood to change in dramatic fasion tomorrow. Hillary Clinton takes the stage. With the hatchet well and burried (I hope) Mrs. Clinton should come out ready to kick ass and take names.

More tomorrow!

It’s insane the concept that Fux News is providing the pool feed for the convention. In this clip (HT: C&L) we get a taste of the (hack , choke, vomit) “Fair and Balanced” coverage we can expect.

Fisrt, in the eyes of Fucked News, anyone left of a Nazi is “Far Left”.

Second, watch this loser of a kid (journalist) attempting to create fear out of nothing.

Third, When you ask protesters about free speech and they begin hurling insults at you. Perhaps you might consider your so-called news outlet is seen as a big part of the problem.

F$*k Fox News!!!!!

I find this plauseable. Anyone who pays attention Karl Rove is about as corrupt a P.O.S. as you can find. The comment threads are a mix of “No Surprise” to “The For Profit Media will ignore it” to a swath of trolls attempting to diminish this to hearsay. When it comes from someone’s council that the witness feels threatened, that is not hearsay. We’ll have to wait and see if this gets ant traction at all. I’m not holding my breath. If it does get a look in and pans out to be true. Just watch the rats abandon ship in droves.

From The Brad Blog:

Karl Rove has threatened a GOP high-tech guru and his wife, if he does not “‘take the fall’ for election fraud in Ohio,” according to a letter sent this morning to Attorney General Michael Mukasey, by Ohio election attorney Cliff Arnebeck.

The email, posted in full below, details threats against Mike Connell of the Republican firm New Media Communications, which describes itself on its website as “a powerhouse in the field of Republican website development and Internet services” and having “played a strategic role in helping the GOP expand its technological supremacy.”

Here’s the full email from Brad Blog:

Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2008 10:51 AM
To: AskDOJ@usdoj.gov
Subject: Report of Rove threats against witness Michael ConnellDear Attorney General Mukasey:

We have been confidentially informed by a source we believe to be credible that Karl Rove has threatened Michael Connell, a principal witness we have identified in our King Lincoln case in federal court in Columbus, Ohio, that if he does not agree to “take the fall” for election fraud in Ohio, his wife Heather will be prosecuted for supposed lobby law violations.This appears to be in response to our designation of Rove as the principal perpetrator in the Ohio Corrupt Practices Act/RICO claim with respect to which we issued document hold notices last Thursday to you and to the US Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reform. See: http://www.bradblog.com/?p=6189 and http://www.archive.org/d…tionFraudInOhioCourtCase.

I have informed court chambers and am in the process of informing the Ohio Attorney General’s and US Attorney’s offices in Columbus for the purpose, among other things, of seeking protection for Mr. Connell and his family from this reported attempt to intimidate a witness.

Concurrently herewith, I am informing Mr. Conyers and Mr. Kucinich in connection with their Congressional oversight responsibilities related to these matters.

Because of the serious engagement in this matter that began in 2000 of the Ohio Statehouse Press Corps, 60 Minutes, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, C-Span and Jim VandeHei, and the public’s right to know of gross attempts to subvert the rule of law, I am forwarding this information to them, as well.

This stinks of Valerie Plame says ePluribus Media :

Ohio Attorney General Asked to Protect Key Witness in Election Fraud Case

In an email sent to OhioNewsBureau by lead attorney Cliff Arnebeck, who filed a federal lawsuit in August 2006 asserting the GOP gamed the system and won the state by suppressing the votes of various progressive-leaning groups like students and African Americans and who wants to revive the case to protect the integrity of the 2008 election, Nancy H. Rogers, the former dean of the law school at The Ohio State University and interim Attorney General, was asked to provide immunity protection services to Connell.

The immunity request from Arnebeck to the Ohio AG was triggered by information from a confidential source that Karl Rove, a kingpin GOP strategist, threatened that if Mike Connell doesn’t go in the tank for cyber-rigging the 2004 election in Ohio, his wife will be sued for lobbying law violations. Using this kind of hardball tactic to rain retribution down on an individual for not allowing himself to be “thrown under the bus” smacks of the identical retaliation tactic used to punish Valerie Plame by outing her as a spy for remarks made by her husband Joe Wilson before the commencement of the war in Iraq that no evidence existed for uranium being sold by Niger to Saddam Hussein.

It’s hard not to agree.

Right-wing organization paying kids for denying global warming
The right-wing organization WorldNetDaily (WND) is rewarding children for “debunking” global warming in a new video/essay contest. “The contest was launched early in 2008 and was designed to highlight the absurdities, untruths and downright lies that children are being taught daily about ‘climate change’ in public school,” the site states. (Many thanks to Bob Kincaid for the link!)

Loyal Fox’d Up! listener, David from Maine, has requested that Jon play a very special track this evening.

The song is from the band Funkadelic, and is the title track from their album “Maggot Brain”.

From the Wikipedia entry:
“The original recording of the song, over ten minutes long, features little more than a spoken introduction”.
See the rest here: http://en.wikipedia.org:80/wiki/Maggot_Brain_(song)

George Clinton helped define the funk music culture of the 1970’s, through his work with Funkadelic, and also with the band Parliament. To visit George’s site, please visit http://www.georgeclinton.com/ .

Over the weekend, the world lost Sir Humphrey Lyttleton, at the age of 86. Jazz musician, writer, composer, and chairman of “I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue” since the early 70’s on the BBC, Humph, as he was known, was a true master of entertainment. Not only was he the U.K.’s most important jazz musician, he had a wit and comedic timing that was razor sharp and second to none. I was late to discover Humph. I was hooked instantly to “Clue”, very possibly the best radio comedy panel show of all time.

The Track of the Day is his landmark jazz hit from 1956 “Bad Penny Blues”.

By 1948, he had formed a band with the clarinettist Wally Fawkes. That year he went to France’s Nice Jazz Festival, where he met his idol, fellow musician Louis Armstrong.

Armstrong always spoke warmly of the man he called “that cat in England who swings his ass off.” (from the BBC Obituary)

Humph was still touring with his band a few weeks ago, which serves as proof that music and laughter keeps the mind young. Today, we pay tribute to a legend in the purest sense. I am among millions who will miss you.

Biodiversity loss will lead to sick world
The world risks wiping out a new generation of antibiotics and cures for diseases if it fails to reverse the extinction of thousands of plant and animal species, experts warned Wednesday.

Biodiversity loss has reached alarming levels, and disappearing with it are the secrets to finding treatments for pain, infections and a wide array of ailments such as cancer, they said, citing the findings of a coming book. (Thanks to Ninja Gene for the link)

Wind Power Produces 123% of Residential Energy Demand in Rock Port, Missouri
That’s not a typo in the headline. The meters are running backwards and they’re exporting the 23% extra.

Rock Port, Missouri, is a small city of 1,300 people, and they just made history by being the first city in the US to be 100% powered by the wind, also making them #1 in the US for percentage of renewable energy. (Thanks to Ninja Gene for the link)

Ninja Betsy sent along a link to a book titled: “It’s Just A Plant - A Children’s Story of Marijuana”. To find out more about the book, and how to order, please click here.

Denmark Generates Too Much Wind Power
Denmark has a problem with their wind turbines. Apparently its generating too much power from wind.

Right now, they are generating about 20% of their total electricity from wind power and on windy days that percentage can double which has placed some strain on the electricity grid due to extreme fluctuations. In western Denmark, the price of electricity can sometimes drop to 0 on a windy day which leaves utilities trying to find ways to offload the excess power. What a “good” problem to have! (Thanks to Ninja Betsy for the link)

Low-Cost Electric Cars On The Way
Norwegian automaker Think Global said Monday it planned to sell low-priced electric cars to the masses and will introduce its first models in the U.S. by the end of next year.

The battery-powered Think City will be able to travel up to 110 miles on a single charge, with a top speed of about 65 mph, the company said. It will be priced below $25,000.

Tonight’s Track of the Day comes to us from Stefan Grossman. Off the album “Shake that Thing-Fingerpicking Country Blues” is the song “Monkey Wrench Rag”. For more information on Stefan’s guitar workshop videos, please click here. And here’s a video of Stefan teaching us how to play “Vestipol”.
