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.
