Dylan on “60 Minutes”: “ I realized at the time that the press, the media, they're not the judge — God's the judge,” says Dylan. “The only person you have to think about lying twice to is either yourself or to God. The press isn't either of them. And I just figured they're irrelevant.”

A lot of people have been linking to this article from the Portland Mercury about a Canadian who found an obscure and valuable VU acetate at a LES yard sale. In the 33 1/3 book “The Velvet Underground and Nico” by Joe Harvard, he mentions that this acetate was discovered in the fall of 2003 (p. 82), not earlier this year as the article suggests. There’s more info about the acetate on this page.

While watching the Home Depot documentary on “Biography,” I could understand why a lot of people have SUVs and trucks. If you are doing a lot of DIY home projects (as most people are doing), you're going to need a vehicle that’s capable of carrying large boxes and planks of wood (hence the use of the word “utility”).
Sermon on the Mount: “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you...And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.”

From Philip Megg’s “A History of Graphic Design”: “The English art historian Herbert Read once suggested that the life of any art movement is like that of a flower. A budding in the hands of a small number of innovators is followed by full bloom; then the process of decay begins as the influence becomes diffused and distorted in the hands of imitators who understand merely the stylistic manifestations of the movement rather than the driving passions that forged it.”
While watching the Frontline documentary “The Persuaders,” I saw consultant Frank Luntz mention the 1994 Republican “Contract with America” (spearheaded by Newt Gingrich), made when the Republicans were in the minority and wanted to change their image. This led me to question whether, 10 years later, the GOP-dominated Congress is following their contract now. For example, let’s take the issue of committee chair term limits (#2 in the contract). Here I see it mentioned that Senators were moving to repeal the limits. Here, the Holland Sentinel asks whether the GOP has reneged on their promises. And according to this USA Today article, the Republicans have slowly broken most of the promises they made in their contract since they became the majority power. Meet the new boss, same as the old?

More Electoral College links: Slate’s Walter Dellinger argues that a president still has legitimacy if chosen by the Electoral College while Neal Peirce of the Seattle Times says we should ditch the antiquated EC system (citing a book by George Edwards). And Howstuffworks attempts to explain the EC to those who are still confused (most likely the majority of Americans). Update: Another opinion from Gregg Frazer. Update: According to CNN projections right now, Bush leads by 1 million votes (8:25 p.m. ET), but is behind in the EC 66-77.
Voting Tip: Do not go to the post office on election day and ask if they are holding your absentee ballot (Yes, this actually happened).

I went looking for something to help an undecided voter that I know make their decision, but I didn't necessarily want something partisan—I was looking for something more fact-based than a party screed that would turn off someone who hadn't made a decision yet (though I somewhat agree with this article saying that undecided voters sometimes seem deliberately coy and are probably more decided than you think. But they love the attention and courting that goes on during elections). It's remarkably hard to find a straight non-partisan position paper, but I think this page from the New Voters Project comes close. What's disconcerting is how much more substance there is to Nader's answers than the canned puff that Kerry is putting out in this piece. (This is long—I might need to restart the full blog soon.)
