The Ten Most Alarming Things in a Poll of Republican "Values" and Beliefs

Besides thinking Obama is a racist, illegal alien, terrorist & should be immediately impeached, they have some pretty disturbing opinions of gay people.

8: Only 7 percent support same-sex marriage. Not surprising, but still disappointing.

7: Sixty-eight percent don’t think gay couples should receive any state or federal benefits, while 21 percent are not sure. This is more surprising — it’s not even marriage, just benefits. And not even every benefit, necessarily, just some.

1: An astounding 73 percent believe that openly gay men or women should be prohibited from teaching in public schools, and 19 percent aren’t sure. That puts them at odds with Ronald Reagan, who openly opposed a measure trying to do just that. Over 30 years ago.

Dear Major Label Music Executive

grubbs:

Dear Major Label Music Executive,

Thank you for your sudden and aggressive interest in Wakey!Wakey! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying the music so much more, now that it’s selling in stores nationwide. Unfortunately, a year ago when we first shared the same songs with you, you didn’t really hear much potential, so now it’s our turn to have to pass on you. I do promise however, to keep you in the loop as we continue to grow.

Sincerely,

Michael Grubbs and the Wakey!Wakey! team.

This is so great! The major labels have no vision for anything beyond teenage girls or boys with reality tv shows.

Some great music blogs use Tumblr as their platform, and we aggregate those in The Hype Machine. But plenty of people have awesome insights on music, even if they post about everything else on their tumblelog, too. So now, you can submit your music posts to the Hype Tumblr. We’re also following some cool people and reblogging their stuff, so you can see all the videos/articles/photos/links that make up our music experience right now. And just like on our main site, you can stream all the music on this page. Follow us, visit us, submit your posts, and check out some Tumblrs you might not be following yet. Welcome to our newest experiment!

Very excited to see what this combo produces!

Tumblr is typical of the new New York startups that have great engineering talent, but care about design, UI and UX.
