Senator Bernie Sanders:
For years now, they’ve told us that we can’t afford — that the government providing healthcare to all people is just unimaginable; it can’t be done.

The always-wonderful Ra Ra Riot was on Conan O’Brian recently and I managed to capture it on my computer (thanks to my new HDHomeRun with EyeTV). So here’s the HD (540p, 84MB) version of Ra Ra Riot Performing Ghosts Under Rocks on Conan.
I also made and iPod/iPhone version for all of you out there (download it for iTunes by saving the target of that link).
Enjoy!
