OBAMA'S CLEAN SWEEP WEEKEND In addition to winning four states over the weekend, Barack Obama also beat a Clinton in another arena. Up against Bill Clinton (and Jimmy Carter) in the Best Spoken Word Album Category, Barack Obama won for his recording of The Audacity of Hope. He had previously won for the recording of Dreams From My Father. To be fair, both Clintons have Grammys in the same category, as well. [WP]

Since when do people get Grammys for books on tape? That's such a silly category. When I hear the term "spoken word" I think slam. Can a poet catch a break in the friggin' country?? Ever? Bill, Hillary or Obama reading their books shouldn't win them an award. LOL.
