The State Of Democracy

January 8, 2008 – 7:09 am

What does it mean about the state of democracy when viral video darling Obama Girl Amber Lee Ettinger shows up in NH? And Chuck Norris too? (Chuck Norris political facts.)
It probably surprises no one that Kucinich’s press secretary’s 18 year old daughter is more articulate than Amber and Chuck combined. Ugh.

Midterms

November 6, 2006 – 9:20 pm

Mentioned earlier, but worth mentioning again: TrueMajorityACTION’s Take It Back campaign. Among the videos and political graffiti of the moment, don’t miss Freedom, Beat Box Bush, and Hijacking Catastrophe.
And as funny as the Brazillion Joke is, we need a government that doesn’t lie, a government that’s smart, a government that cares for its people, its [...]

Preaching to the choir, or encouraging them to sing louder? TrueMajorityACTION’s Take It Back campaign amuses, but will it motivate the middle? Will you join?

They Might Be Giants

July 2, 2006 – 1:15 am

They Might Be Giants, playing at Mohegan Sun, drew roars of approval from the crowd when John Flansburgh went off-lyric sheet during The Sun (which they amusingly described as part of their Venue Songs series):
…The heat and light of the sun are caused by nuclear reactions between a failed foreign policy, a failed domestic policy, [...]

Whiskey Blanket

May 17, 2006 – 9:45 pm

I just bought Whiskey Blanket’s It?s Warmer Down Here (2004) on the basis of a few tracks they offered on MySpace.
It’s hip hop, socially critical hip hop (crit hop?), set atop a well constructed downtempo trip hop music bed (yeah, I’ll cut it with the hops already). It immediately brought to mind MC 900 Ft. [...]

Political Blogging Protected By FEC

January 3, 2006 – 10:16 am

Way back near the end of 2005, Lot 49 reported that the Federal Election Commission had basically ruled that bloggers are journalists:
The Federal Election Commission today issued an advisory opinion that finds the Fired Up network of blogs qualifies for the ?press exemption? to federal campaign finance laws. The press exemption, as defined by Congress, [...]

Pravda and McCarthyism

October 13, 2005 – 2:38 am

Don’t worry. I’m right on top of whatever happens in Pravda, the leading newspaper of the Russian Federation. Or, at least, I’m right on top of whatever they report in their English language version. The thing that had me choking on my onion and boursin cheese bagel this morning was the story headlined FBI arrests [...]

ChangeThis

October 10, 2005 – 12:35 pm

Worth looking at: ChangeThis, started by Seth Godin and ?a sharp team of change agents.? The quote comes from Ben McConnell at Church of the Customer, who also reminds us of the ways that conservatives in every field favor traditional views and values and oppose change:

Stay the course
Don’t fix what isn’t broken
Ignore all critics
We don’t [...]

The Potential Of Political Campaigning in Online Games

September 25, 2005 – 12:35 pm

Matt and I have been talking about online role playing games lately. He’s more than interested in the new challenges they pose to our legal system, the new media opportunities they offer, the ways they’re altering culture. We got into a conversation about how companies are taking advantage of them in marketing campaigns, so I [...]

Re-Shelving Orwell’s 1984

August 22, 2005 – 12:15 pm

Via Jon Gordon’s Future Tense: Re-shelving George Orwell.
Smart people everywhere are taking it upon themselves to re-shelve George Orwell’s 1984 from fiction to more appropriate sections in non-fiction, like ?Current Events?, ?Politics?, ?History?, ?True Crime?, or ?New Non-Fiction.?
Instructions and photos on Flickr.
