The Barack Obama Show
Senator Obama pre-empted six channels last night to present to you, America, a very heartfelt and expensive half hour show:
I especially loved the Academy Awards style music in the background. The oaky, country-style Oval Office was kind of nice too. Of course, the main reason it looks like the Oval Office is because of the giant American flag, but he couldn’t very well have not put a giant American flag in there, now could he?

Neil Young @ International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees
Neil Young canceled his Los Angeles show tonight (Oct. 30) in support of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) union. IATSE is in a dispute with the venue owner, Faithful Central Bible Church. Young and his wife are honorary supporters of IATSE, making the decision difficult for the artist. Young stated, “I am extremely disappointed to have to choose between satisfying my fans or backing my brothers and sisters of the IATSE, I will miss playing in Los Angeles and apologize to my fans for the inconvenience this has caused.” The show will be rescheduled for a date in 2009. Ticket holders are able to refund tickets at points of purchase.

Marion Jones @ Oprah Winfrey Show
The Oprah Winfrey show lands the first interview with track athlete Marion Jones since serving six months in prison because she lied to the federal jury about her steroid consumption as an Olympian.
George Burns @ Harpo / Associated Press
On transcending being an athlete: In the past, it was Marion Jones, the athlete. Now, of course, I don’t have that cover anymore. I have really had to find out who I am, you know. And why I make certain choices.
On Oprah asking if she will ever run again: “No, I will never run again. I have retired from the sport.”
On being sad about not running: There is a bit of sadness, because I love to compete. By the same token, I am energized by this next chapter and I think it’s going to be bigger and better than that last chapter. I need to find out now how to connect with people on a much bigger level. I do not want for the legacy of Marion Jones-Thompson now to be this. I want it to be something bigger and better — something for my kids to be proud of.

White Supremacists FOR Obama?
Max Blumenthal has a fascinating article on The Daily Beast entitled Obama and the Neo-Nazis” in which he discovers a surprising sentiment among the white supremacist community:
Key leaders of the white supremacist movement see a potential Obama administration as a rising tide that will lift their sagging boats.
They see the recent skinhead plot to kill Obama as something that would’ve killed their movement. They want a President Obama alive as a figure to rally against.
Alex Brandon / Associated Press
Despite this cease-fire order from most mainstream white supremacists, the foiled Neo-Nazi assassination plot against Obama was, reportedly, only one of many. Apparently the count is now around 500. Look forward to many more during an Obama administration. There were certainly enough racially-charged incidents under Clinton, and he was the first black president in name only. Anyone remember Ruby Ridge? White Supremacists do.
