  • The Dempseys and friends
Dempseys' promoter Rollin Riggs sent us this photo of his group's recent gig with the Prez and Prime Minister Koizumi of Japan. Koizumi stepped to the mic and sang an Elvis tune. The president recorded the event for national security reasons and tapped the Dempseys' phones and bank records.

This picture also raises the quesion of whether heads of state get together before joint appearances to discuss how they'll dress: "Today, I'm going with an open-collared dress shirt and slacks. I'm rolling the sleeves up two turns."

"Cool. Me too."

For a slightly more accurate description of the event, go here.

  • What Did Karl Rove Know and When Did He Know It?

    "It now seems beyond question that, at the very least, Karl Rove will be indicted for perjury, false statements and/or obstruction of justice in what's come to be known as "Plamegate" (the outing of a CIA agent to extract revenge against her husband, Ambassador Wilson, for challenging the President's assertion that Saddam was buying nuclear materials from Africa). The corporate media and the blogosphere are abuzz, speculating on the timing of Rove's indictment, and laying the foundation for such an indictment."

    The Gadfly (aka Marty Aussenberg) is back with more ruminations on the Rove/Plame affair. Read it all here.
