...sort of. Watch and all will be illuminated. Also, does anyone know if that's Laura Burhenn (formerly Georgie James) or Blake Hazard (The Submarines) in the video?

Under the Blacklight: Jenny Lewis says "yes folks, I'm a FOX."

Here's what happened: one day Jenny Lewis woke up, looked in the mirror, and thought,........DAMN, I'm a fox.
It was probably around the time of More Adventurous (data to back me up), because then she went and made an country album with the Watson Twins, which I thoroughly enjoyed, whether I wanted to or not. I think the idea was, "I'm so hot, not even a good girl persona can contain my hotness. Vegas is in the south, right? Just because I grew up in L.A. doesn't mean I can't be a bona fide country singer."
As for Under The Blacklight:
In early Rilo Kiley albums, Jenny Lewis always had this sweet, slightly affected, innocent-sounding voice. That got thrown out the window. Awkward sexuality? Flushed down the toilet. You wanted it, you got it. And "Silver Lining" is the consolation prize for those of us who didn't.
(Update: It seems a lot of the people who commented on this post somehow missed the last sentence. Or the sarcasm. More importantly, the point. I don't like to use the phrase "sold out", but in the case of Jenny Lewis, if the shoe fits...)

Why do political bloggers all want to write John McCain's campaign obituary? At least Michelle Malkin is honest about it.The Story: He only raised $11.2 million this quarter, he's got just about $2 million in his pocket, and only 72,000 donors, total. His campaign won't say why his spending has been so high.
So McCain is pandering. He doesn't care about medical marijuana. So what? Leave the man alone. You all loved McCain in 2000 when he was running against GWB the dumbass (being the fair-weather friends you are) and now he's in a tough spot and you - all of you - abandon him (except for Josh Marshall). Give an old man a dollar.
Let's think, reasons not to hate on John McCain:
(1) He's not a fascist-in-waiting. For that we have Rudy Giuliani. Not to mention that, unlike Giuliani, McCain actually has a position on Iraq (a flawed one, but at least he doesn't dodge the biggest issue of the campaign constantly).
(2) He's not such a huge flip-flopper that ESPN commentators can make a random joke about it. For that we have Mitt Romney.
(3) Hello? Does anyone remember that he's been everyone's favorite bipartisan senator for 20-or-so years now? See My 2008 Manifesto.
(4) The Democrats are going to win anyways.
Clarification: Political bloggers don't like to mention this fact because it takes away from the dramatic quality of the campaign, but the only two-term presidents to be followed by someone from their own party were extraordinarily popular, and Bush is not.
...wait, I finally figured out why the bloggers are waiting for McCain campaign to die...polls in the early primary/caucus states show McCain's not doing so bad.
So whenever George Bush reads something it seems to be a big deal, because I always hear about it. Currently it's a Winston Churchill biography by Lynne Olson, who had an editorial in the Washington Post yesterday just in case Bush thinks he's Churchill. Sorry GWB, you're Neville Chamberlain. Our favorite lame duck also invited historians and authors to the White House to tell him all about his potential legacy, and Kos thinks the Washington Post story is pretty funny.
