Late Night Shots is an "invitation-only" social networking site for elite GOP youth of Washington, DC that the late
Steve Gilliard mockingly described as
"the best and whitest." The Wonkette blog has devoted an
entire section to the site that documents Late Night Shots'
racism,
date rape,
anti-Islamic prejudice, and
incest with second cousins, at least until
Wonkette's editor started getting invited to their parties. The founder of Late Night Shots,
Reed Landry, plans to take his networking site to other cities, but even though Wonkette has lost interest, the Washington City Paper has attracted scrutiny to the site again with a juicy new
exposé.

The Democrats' Sonny Bono? When George Bush used the 1970s
Orleans hit,
Still the One, as a campaign song in 2004,
John Hall issued Bush a
cease and desist order for using his song without permission. A founder of the antinuclear group,
Musicians United for Safe Energy (best known for the 1979 concert film,
No Nukes), Hall decided to
run for Congress in upstate New York, winning upset victories this year in both
the Democratic primary and
the general election against GOP incumbent,
Sue Kelly. Before his Congressional victory, Editor & Publisher posted
From Soundchecks to Soundbites, an interesting discussion with Hall about music journalism vs. political journalism.
