To Wendy Warren, the moving force behind the “norgs” conference a few years back. Wendy’s just one of those people who gets things done, and clearly sees the digital future. Good for her, good for the city of Philadelphia.

This is a good thing. The GOP money machine […]

In order to deal with the stress of watching some other sucky candidate do mean things to your sucky candidate, it might help if you looked at it as, say, NFL football. It’s their job to get out there on the field and beat the living shit out of each other - but after four […]

Now, this is my idea of activism:
CLEVELAND — Folks on Humphrey Hill Drive were still waking up on the icy Saturday morning the shark hunters came to town. They rounded the suburban traffic circle in a pair of rented school buses after a half-hour ride from far more modest neighborhoods, rumbling to a stop at […]

For your reference, posted at Corrente.
I really think that at the end of the day, Democrats are going to have to look at this primary process and consider overhauls to the process. There are complaints about inclusion and exclusion of voters, there are complaints about the order of primary events and the great stacking […]

Up five points, while Clinton and Obama have each fallen back. Edwards is now within two points of MOE with Clinton and seems to have the momentum.

It’s hitting here, too. I can’t believe how expensive food is getting:
KUANTAN, Malaysia — Rising prices for cooking oil are forcing residents of Asia’s largest slum, in Mumbai, India, to ration every drop. Bakeries in the United States are fretting over higher shortening costs. And here in Malaysia, brand-new factories built to convert vegetable oil […]

Look, I’m going to say something a little unusual here. Even if you support Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or Dennis Kucinich, you should donate to Edwards today, anyway.
Why? Because the corporate media shouldn’t be making our choices for us. Because Edwards has the most progressive positions of the top candidates […]

Mahabarb on the Iowa results - and the bobblehead responses. She sums up thusly:
The truth is, our greatest fear is that Barack Obama will turn out to be another Hillary Clinton — all centrist caution and status quo bias.
And that’s what troubles me. If the only problem you have with the current system is that […]
