It's my pool party, we do what we like!

Arlen Specter, R-PA for 29 years is looking to serve another term on the blue side of the aise.

"'As the Republican Party has moved farther and farther to the right, I have found myself increasingly at odds with the Republican philosophy and more in line with the philosophy of the Democratic Party,' Specter said in announcing his decision Tuesday."

I feel you, man. A move like that takes balls. I have a lot of respect for Sen. Specter, but I hope this doesn't turn out to backfire like the misteps John McCain made in the 2008 campaign, selling his soul to the Republican base for a chance at electability after running his own race in 2000 and being slimed by the Bush team.

Was running as an independant out of the question? I imagine there's more money available for the man running as the democratic candidate.

Now if only Franken could be seated in MN.

And I got a blip.fm DJ name/account/thing!

It's like Twitter, but for music. 150 characters and 1 song to convey to you the state of the spirit of my soul, or something. The songs play quickly without much downloading.
