...your candidate's own mouth. (Clinton probably could not compare herself to a mean old nun who forces you to learn the capital of Vermont. Coming from Fey, it somehow works.) They attract free media. They can capture emotion more viscerally than a policy paper. (By playing off the rhythm and call-and-response of Obama's words, Yes We Can literally rendered his prose into lyrics.) And as much as people may say that they don't care about celebrity endorsements, videos convey the intangible sense that people are moved enough by a candidate to create...
...never been difficult to reconcile my love for hip-hop with my eternal devotion to Gordon Sumner. Like the best rap music, the Police always had funky basslines, rhythm-driven songs, and an oft-maligned intellectual underside. But after the Puffy sob-fest “I’ll Be Missing You,” I figured the party was over. 11 years later, imagine my surprise when a respected Atlanta rap stalwart releases not one, but two tracks prominently featuring samples from the Police on an otherwise “back-to-basics” album.

There is this need for redemption. The religion in this country is very deeply embedded. Australia is a much more cynical place. Several of my favorite playwrights are British and they tend to be more comfortable...
...Williams Carnival, Harvard skiing ended the weekend in the ninth spot—a familiar finish for the Alpine and Nordic teams. The Crimson earned ninth for the fourth time in as many competitions this season, notching its ninth consecutive ninth-place result since 2006. Another team in a rhythm, Dartmouth secured its fourth carnival victory this winter, edging out Middlebury by a mere nine points with a final of 616. Harvard totaled 187, ahead of St. Michael’s College and Bowdoin College. Competing outside of the Ivy League, the Crimson faces experienced New England squads...
