Not Debatable

Politics kinda suck.

Unless you're a beltway insider, long-winded pundit, or sadomasochist, it's hard to find a lot of joy in the nuts and bolts of running a country.

Unfortunately, in this season of elections and debates, it's hard to escape robo-calls, unsolicited mail, and lots of someones who "approved this message".  All the posturing and positioning, glad handing and stumping, pledging and promising, can get a little tiring.

Even our beer and music have been given a political spin.

See the new collaboration between Clown Shoes and Three Heads Brewing, Third Party Candidate, a 50/50 mix of the former's Imperial Amber Eagle Claw Fist and the latter's Oatmeal Red Ale Loopy.  

And, while you're downing a limited batch of bipartisanship in a bottle, check of the timely new release by Ry Cooder, Election Special.

Ry doesn't hold his leftist political cards close to his chest, as evidenced with titles like "Mutt Romney Blues", "Kool-Aid", and "The Wall Street Part of Town".  Even if, like Washington, you can't agree on the opinions espoused, hopefully you can appreciate the blues as a fitting medium to express the message.

Check out the video of "Cold, Cold Feeling"from the new album below.
