Elsewhere

Al Franken and his Team have a blog at the Air America Website.

Chris at Crooked Timber muses on how fictional presidents are best. Watching The West Wing often leads to similar fantasies in our house as well.

And Brian, also of CT offers a link to a remix of Man of Constant Sorrow. Mmmmmm, downloads.

The unbelievable Tony Pierce has a dancing Angus Young. It made me smile.

Via DVD Journal we have this bit of Mel-ania, Our friends at Warner are prepping a 30th Anniversary Edition of Mel Brooks' 1974 Blazing Saddles, which will include new Dolby Digital 5.1 audio, commentary from Brooks, a featurette on Madeline Kahn, a cast-reunion documentary, and the 1975 TV pilot "Black Bart." Drat, how many special editions will I have to buy?
