Awesome Rhetorical Combat Between Chris Matthews and Ari Fleisher
The kind of clip that Harrogate has been given to understand is known as "Da's Turn" in the Solon household.
Lots to chew on here. Rhetorically speaking, from Harrogate's perspective this battle is a battle in two movements, with Matthews getting somewhat out-maneuvered in the first half (though it will surprise nobody that Harrogate still agreed with what Matthews was trying to argue), and with Matthews at least bringing things to a draw with Fleisher in the second half. Harrogate always said Ari Fleisher was a masterful shit-talker, and it is manifest here that once again, he's good with the demagoguery.
Mostly at stake on the level of substance is rehashing our entry into Iraq. But they also argue about other things that might make a few Situationers' and Readers' blood race, such as whether it is honest, and for that matter whether it is decent for the Bush people to keep bragging that we "didn't get hit again under Bush's watch."

Sunday Night Musical Tribute
Harrogate, like a lot of Situationers, has not had much to give TRS, or much of anything else, these days. But onward we press even when low on fuel.
The record for which this song is the title track, Harrogate has now listened to every day for the last week and a half. Before the record arrived in the mail he posted another wonderful song off it, "Wreck."
Here is "Good Night San Francisco." This band is capturing Harrogate's mood right now, and so now he shares it with ye.

Friday Musical Tribute
Harrogate loves Amnesiac more and more with each listen. Check out this performance of "Dollars and Cents." It'll put you somewhere else for 4:41.

Best of 2008: APB for Harrogate
In the midst of March Madness, Solon issued an all points bulletin for Harrogate, which I found extremely amusing, as that period was the only time this Spring when Harrogate wasn't blogging profusely. I also enjoyed Southpaw's cogent analysis of Solon's missteps in his search of Harrogate.
