It’s been a summer of sunflowers! This shot is of a field of ‘em that I passed by on my way to and from A Bear’s Picnic in rural Pennsylvania last weekend. A splendid musical weekend, and a delightful trip through cornfields, small towns and flowers.

Chris Cooper reviews Railroad Earth’s Amen Corner in the Smoky Mounain News. An excerpt:
Amen Corner is a solid, nicely recorded album from the guys in RRE: one that shows them more comfortable in their collective skin than ever before. Mix this with the ever- growing songwriting skills of Todd Sheaffer, and Amen Corner might just be one of the best things the band has put out yet. For fans of the band already, this is a no-brainer. But if this disc serves as an introduction to Railroad Earth for some of you, it’s a darn fine place to start.

I NEED A MIRACLE
The increasingly desperate, content-free right wing media are going to absurd lengths to make the electorate (who I pray are not nearly as stupid as the right owuld like to believe) believe Obama is Not One Of Us.
From the Wall Street Journal - a NEWS piece, fergawdsakes, not one of their reptilian op-eds:
….in a nation in which 66% of the voting-age population is overweight and 32% is obese, could Sen. Obama’s skinniness be a liability? Despite his visits to waffle houses, ice-cream parlors and greasy-spoon diners around the country, his slim physique just might have some Americans wondering whether he is truly like them.
The headline on this article is: “Too Fit to Be President?”
You can’t make this shit up, but they keep making shit up.
