"Birth of the Cool" is an album that collects the twelve sides recorded by the Miles Davis nonet (featuring Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz and others) for Capitol Records in 1949 and 1950. The music is considered seminal. This blog is dedicated to that spirit -- keeping things "cool" by blog birthing. If you've got somethin' cool to share, blow on.

Some nice Obama moments
After six years of enduring relentless attacks and inexcusable sabotage against the President, I'll admit I was tired and worn. It seemed like it was getting harder and harder to muster up joy and hope over him and his presidency. Then today I ran across this slideshow [you'll need to scroll to the bottom of the page to "Most Iconic Photoes ..."] and I could not help but smile and feel pride, remembering that I had never expected to live long enough to see a black man elected as President. Just think what our lives would be like if he would have had a Democratic Congress.
The happiest moment for many of us will be when he leaves the wh.
ReplyDeleteI have my objections to some of what he's done and hasn't done but compared to other presidents, most of whom never faced anything like the opposition and resistance and vitriol Obama faced, by most markers, he's been on of the best...
ReplyDeleteLally demonstrates a lack of history. To name just a few presidents who faced more opposition:
ReplyDeleteJohn Adams
John Quincy Adams
Andrew Jackson
Lincoln
James K Polk
etc. etc
Obama deserves oppositions since he is the first anti American president who actively works to harm the US both domestically and internationally through the explosion of debt and the coddling of enemies and antagonism of allies.
It was a special moment to hear a US president equate IslamicTerror (burnings, beheadings, mass child, female, and male killings, church burnings) with Christian crusades and the Inquisition of 900 and 500 years ago. There is not much current fear of Christians on the rampage.
ReplyDeleteI believe Obama's statement of moral equivalence between Islamic terror and Christianity, qualifies him as an evil man.
ReplyDeleteHere is a hilarious website/quick video which addresses free speech and liberals.
