Sorry, Conventioneers: No Bruce For You
By J. Freedom du Lac
There's been plenty of speculation (wishful thinking?) in recent days that Barack Obama supporter Bruce Springsteen is going to perform either just before or after Obama's speech in Denver on Thursday.

Maybe Brain-dead Bruce has realized that his partisan non-sense is bad for business... Ahhh, probably not---he's far too arrogant and pompous....
