And if you have the time, check out Reverend Barber's incendiary speech made at the Democrats' convention -- just click right here. I love this guy.
"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.

Rev. Barber on voting
As readers of this blog know, I worry mightily about voter suppression. So needless to say, I am overjoyed at the federal courts throwing out repressive voter ID laws in Texas, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. As a result of the North Carolina ruling, the same court is in the process of reconsidering tossing out the Virginia voter registration laws. This brings to my mind one of the Reverend William Barber's great takes on the subject of voting back in 2012. Preach it brother Barber.
