Rodrigo and Gabriella amuse me to no end. The press is saying they started out doing Speed Metal in Mexico, but are now doing flamenco infused folk. Bull! They're still doing Speed Metal. They just doing it unplugged! Sounds really good too.

I wish the press would stop talking about the gender and skin color of the nation's first black female president and start talking about what kind of policies this critter will produce. I see black folk all the time. I'm married to a woman. This stuff is old to me. The only way it would intersting is if the black woman president started out as a white man. The weird thing about the Obama/Clinton horse races is that the media has manged to conjoin the two despite the fact that're competing with one and other.
