OUR FIRST QUOTE OF THE DAY FROM CANADA: THEY THINK IT'S TIME TO THROW THE RASCALS OUT TOO

I know Ken is off on a well-deserved little vacation for the High Holy Days-- I hope I have my terminology correct; someone invited me to a dinner party last night and I discovered it was a holiday. Anyway, what I didn't realize is that the entire DWTQOTD Committee had taken off too. So this is a combination of yesterday's Quote of the Day along with a shameless plug.

Now DWT friend Christina sent this in. It comes from the Toronto Star, one of Canada's major newspapers. It's their weekly Anti-Hit List. And down at #6 we find our song for change, "Have You Had Enough?" Listen at the link; get all the info at our My Space page and donate to the cause-- getting 60 second targeted spots on the radio in time for the election-- here at the Blue America PAC.

Here's the Star review:

RICKIE LEE JONES, TOM MAXWELL & KEN MOSHER, "HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH?"

The musical brainstorm of a couple of alumni from swing revivalists Squirrel Nut Zippers, this free download pairs Jones' delivery of an earnest message (vote out the Republicans in November's congressional midterms) with what sounds like a cross between "Hit the Road Jack" and "Minnie the Moocher" but is actually the Zippers staple "Put a Lid on It." As impeccably produced by power-pop god Andy Paley, you'll be hard-pressed to find political rabble rousing that sounds this giddy.

And, for your viewing enjoyment... that $493,000 in legalized bribes Denny Hastert has taken to deliver Big Business' crushing agenda is neither a typo nor an exaggeration. That is what this swollen pimple on the ass of the body politick has openly accepted from corporations and their lobbyists so that he would consistently vote against the interests of his own constituents.
