The lead singer of the rock band Boston was found dead today. Brad Delp, the voice behind hits like “More Than a Feeling”, “Long Time” and “Don’t Look Back”, was just 55 years old.
I grew up on this music. I wore out my copy of their first album and the “Don’t Look Back” album. Needless to say, I’m bummed.
Rest in peace, Brad.
UPDATE: It was a suicide.

This is unbelievable.
Who knows what this man is thinking.
Nebraska’s Chuck Hagel, the Senate Republican most outspoken in opposition to President Bush’s March 2003 decision to invade Iraq, is expected to announce Monday that he will make a bid for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination.
Just how many Republican votes does he think he’ll get?
Chuck Hagel, a narcissistically delusional RHINO.

Congressman David Obey (D-Wis.) became a little too transparent during a meet up with a woman who questioned him about the vote on the war supplemental.
“We’re trying to use the supplemental to end the war,” Obey said. “You can’t end the war if you’re going against the supplemental. It’s time these idiot liberals understood that.”
The unidentified woman told Obey she was the mother of a Marine who had been deployed to Iraq who was experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder and wasn’t receiving adequate treatment from military hospitals. She then asked why Obey was not cutting off funding for the war.
Obey responded that the Washington Post has been running numerous stories on the inadequacies of military hospitals and that Congress is holding hearings on the topic, adding that the supplemental spending bill includes extra money for military healthcare.
A few moments later he grew angry and began attacking liberal groups for failing to understand how the supplemental bill, of which he is a sponsor, would affect the war.
“The liberal groups are jumping around without knowing what the hell is in the bill,” he bellowed. “You don’t have to cut off funds for an activity that doesn’t exist.”
“The language we have in the resolution ends the authority for the war,” he added. “It makes it illegal to proceed with the war. You don’t have to de-fund something if the war doesn’t exist.”
The problem with the Democrats is their lack of candor. When the cameras and mics are live they don’t answer questions directly, they pander, they spin. It’s only when they’re caught off guard that we really hear what they believe.
This rant from Obey also shows that the Dems are still hopelessly fractured as a group, despite all the talk of working together “for the American people”.
