... the ax legend that made hammering cool. The bad news? The tune is "Right Now," from Van Halen 's Sammy Hagar era, arguably the band's worst. (You decide.) McCain's campaign blared the track during a speech in Ohio, at which point the band complained that he should've chosen Twisted Sister instead. "Permission was not sought or granted nor would it have been given," a Van Halen representative...

Van Hagar '08 (Reason Magazine - Hit & Run)

info@reason.com (Damon W. Root) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 17:26:56 GMT

Gov. Sarah Palin just made a serious push for those disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters, namedropping Geraldine Ferraro and promising to break the glass ceiling. Is the McCain camp's decision to blast Sammy Hagar-era Van Halen part of this strategy? Unless my ears deceived me, I just heard Van Hagar rockin' the house in Dayton. That ain't no green collar rock! Of course, Mr....

Leaked GOP Convention Memo-- Maude, Pack My Dancing Shoes (DownWithTyranny!)

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 22:15:00 GMT

Our pals at Brave New Films got a leaked copy of Day one of the GOP Convention. I'm very disappointed that Sammy Hagar isn't playing . I'm boycotting-- unless the rumors are true that McCain himself has squeezed Daddy Yankee onto the bill. Not enough of the closet case agenda is represented either; three damn events-- and two are in restrooms! 7:00 pm – Ceremonial burning of the U.S....

Transit on Thursday: Cue Sammy Hagar Reference Edition (DCist)

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:33:15 GMT

Whilst browsing through our usual feed of transit news, we came upon this USA Today article about the Drive 55 campaign -- it was of modest interest, but nothing that seemed to be too D.C.-area related. After all, the speed limit for all our major highways in Maryland and Virginia have been set at 65 since the national limit was raised by Congress in November 1995 (see page 20 of this PDF ), and only...

55 mph speed limit is NOT in the interest of "public safety" (Anti-Strib)

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 10:49:00 GMT

I've posted on occasion about driving. Specifically blasting Sen. John Warner R-VA for even considering looking at a national 55 mph limit again It's like Sammy Hagar once said, "I can't get my car out of second gear" at that snail's pace. Of course this was supposed to be a fuel savings initiative, just like in '73. As we all know, it won't work, just slow down ever so slightly the last...
