Dara Lind has a fun piece up at Culture11 about thundersticks. Specifically, it's about how the thundersticks migrated from sporting events to political rallies.
I hereby recommend Dara's piece for inclusion in the yet-to-be-created anthology that tells the story of how American politics became a team sporting event.
Now I'm waiting for the essay on how Monday Night Football and Sportscenter provided the template for election coverage. (Please! I really want someone to write it! Or, if it's been written, just tell me where I can find it.)
