Presidential Power. Also, Al Green Sucks.

Sales of Al Green up nearly 500% after Obama 'cover' - POLITICO.com:

Who knew that President Obama could make a 30-odd year old song shoot up the chartsagain?

Digital sales of Al Green's (hate dis guy - ed) 1972 hit "Let's Stay Together" (hate dis song - ed) are up 490 percent, since a video of the president singing a few bars at a fundraiser surfaced last week.

According to Nielsen SoundScan, the song was downloaded about 16,000 times last week — making it the best week for the song since digital sales data became available in 2003.

And that's the only Obama-Al Green (add dat to the nexus list - ed) news.

House Democrats, at a retreat in Maryland, presented President Obama with a CD of the caucus doing a rendition of the song. POLITICO's Seung Min Kim has more.

To which the Fungster says Boooooooooooo!

Phils win 7-3: take dat, HATERS (drunk Padres fans, Decker)

Adam Eaton held the Padres to two runs in 5 2/3 innings to record his 9th win on Friday.
Eaton gave up seven hits and three walks, but he pitched out of several jams (wily veteran!) in part because of a few key strikeouts. Even today's solid outing wasn't credited with a quality start, something Eaton has done just once in his last six opportunities. Whateverz...he kept them in the ballgame...got the win...that's the only thing that matters. Not only dat, Alfonsucko got the save.
