Finally, after way too freaking long, Buraka Som Sistema has released their latest album, Black Diamond. The song above, Sound of Kuduro is by far the best on the album, but there are some other nice gems on here. MIA is featured on several tracks, and the rhythm is just addicting. I cannot sit still when this is on.

Sigh. The McCain folks and the media should be ashamed of themselves. Of course, they won’t be.
Money quote:
It’s crucially important that we have a political debate in this country that’s at least sophisticated enough to be able to handle the following rather basic idea: Arguing that a person’s record of military service is not a qualification for the presidency does not constitute “attacking” their military credentials; nor can it be described as invoking their military service against them, or as denying their record of war heroism.
That’s not a very high bar for sophistication. But right now it’s one the press isn’t capable of clearing.
That sounds about right.

I agree… The Obama campaign needs to be better than this — politics is a contact sport, and you have the better hand here. For f’s sake, attack, don’t back down.
Read the Klein piece and then be sure to read the comments. The commenters actually have the better of the argument here, and it’s laid out in clear, concise, and direct rebuttal rather than “Joe Klein, you fool.” Wesley Clark looks to be in the clear on this one — it was hardly swift-boating of the sort that John Kerry faced.
