Who said the recording industry is liberal? Bah!

The Grammy Award nominees came out today. From the official press release (with some emphasis added):

In an interesting twist, former President Bill Clinton and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton are both nominated in Spoken Word categories. Best Spoken Word Album For Children nominees include Charlie And The Chocolate Factory (Eric Idle), Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix (Jim Dale), Prokofiev: Peter And The Wolf/Beintus: Wolf Tracks (Bill Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev and Sophia Loren), Tell Me A Scary Story (Carl Reiner), and Winnie-The-Pooh (Jim Broadbent). The Best Spoken Word Album nods go to Fear Itself (Don Cheadle), Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair And Balanced Look At The Right (Al Franken), Living History (Hillary Rodham Clinton), The Nikki Giovanni Poetry Collection (Nikki Giovanni), and When You Ride Alone You Ride With Bin Laden (Bill Maher).

Three words: Bring back Napster
