As a lifelong fan of Hip-hop music I remember the first time I heard Public Enemy's "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back." One of the best Hip-hop albums of all time, Millions literally gave me chills the first time I heard it- For the music and for the skillfully delivered truths about our government and culture’s sometimes open, sometimes subtle historical hostility towards black people.

Now today, a new track by Jasiri X, and Cynik Lethal, called
“American Workers Vs Multi-Billionaires”
about Wisconsin Governor Walker’s attempt to strip public workers of their rights, gave me those same shivers,

See past the bump for more info and lyrics to this awesome protest song that calls out Fox news, Walker, and the GOP for shilling for Billionaires

fans of hip-hop will definitely want to check this out, everyone else- this is an inspiring video that I hope ( and really believe) will make you feel inspired, as it did me

Liberal Sestak voted 100% with Nancy Pelosi

the banner ad at the top of DKOS proclaimed. Not exactly the most effective Sestak ad I’ve seen: but hey, voting with Pelosi – that gets my vote. But wait, this headline banner ad is actually a Toomey spot on DKOS . Since banner ads charge by click, I definitely clicked it. There’s .5 cents that Toomey can’t use somewhere else. I’ve also seen ads for the right-wing propaganda "Newsmax" as banner ads disguised as polls to express your opinion on Obama, and Palin.

So the new AP poll shows that 2:1 Americans think the health care law didn’t go far enough (as opposed to too far). The support for GOP healthcare plan (no government interference or minimal) is between 20 and 25%. It seems the idea of health care reform and GOP obstruction should be a major issue for congressional dems.

C. O'DONNELL: I'll tell you, I just came back from the Middle East, and it was refreshing. With all that is going on, it was refreshing not to be constantly bombarded with smut all the time.

That was the quote I read on Kos’s HI-LAR-I-US post, "DE-Sen: More Christine O'Donnell, in her own words"- showing some of the completely dipshit comments by the new GOP senate candidate. OF course my first 2 questions were "where do you live in Delaware where you are being Constantly bombarded with smut?" and "can I move there?"

But I was a bit surprised that more wasn’t said about this. While Kos did throw in a subtle plug for the recent masterpiece "American Taliban" he failed to make an obvious connection. With this statement, O’Donnell is expressing support and admiration for sharia law.

While democrats and republicans argue about the stimulus effect and deficit consequences of extending the Bush tax cuts to the uber- wealthy, it’s time progressive re-framed the argument to take a broader view and seriously examine the effect the Bush tax cuts for the rich actually had in fueling the economic meltdown.

Lots of great, sexy, stories today on DKOS, but let’s start with the most important. Jimmy Smits is HOT and his new show Outlaw looks fantastic. From what I can gather from the ads, in "outlaw" Smits plays a professional dice measurer who solves crime in his spare time when he isn’t weighing dice. Some good stuff, don’t miss it.
Of course, the political gold of the day, the gift that keeps on giving, is Ms. Christine O’Donnell, who hates masturbation almost as much as she hates carbon dating.....

As a new(er) member of D-Kos, I see some instances of what must be categorized as "growing pains". Every week I read a rec-list diary leveling various complaints at other D-Kos diarists. Mostly these critics are people who are long-time Kos participants who feel either the recent diaries are rants or the comments are getting nasty and/or personal.
Here is a good (as in well thought-out) example of a recent rec list diary that does a good job articulating the feelings I have read in a lot of other diaries as well.

a bunch of witlessly captioned cat pics - not funny. Not even close. whoever did this nonsense should be bannished to posting comments on redstate for two months. More a sad commentary on the life of the diarists than anything else. I mean geez- couln't you come out with a fake story about Palin appearing on rachel maddow or something?

Fred Karger is a former GOP political operative who now is helping in the fight to bring equal rights for marriage to all Americans. Fred’s story, detailed in a recent Mother Jones article, is as fascinating as it is inspiring.

Possible Sarah Palin Reality Shows: POLL what Palin Reality show would YOU watch
Grannyhelen in a great Diary has reported on Sarah Palin’s newest gambit – a reality show described as
" Palin and her family would be on-camera in the show, which one executive described as "'Planet Earth' meets Alaska meets her family,"
http://grannyhelen.dailykos.com/
While this show seems pretty lame, I am all for the Idea of a Palin reality show. In fact – here are a few possible show pitches I think would do much better than the concept that was pitched.

Sure Ill forget some, so if I leave out one of your "fave's" let me know.
