Here’s an appeal I received yesterday. It’s a good cause: let’s do what we can.
I have come to your site via 35%ers to ask all of you ( as have bluegal last week) to use whatever influence you have to push the A-list bloggers to make as much an effort to support Wexler’s petition as […]

IN DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACY
We all know that something is very wrong in our country. The Rule of Law, the Balance of Powers, and our Constitutionally guaranteed Civil Liberties have been under sustained assault by an Administration that is brazen and unrepentant in its abuses of our rights and our founding principles. And, to make matters […]

If only Matt Taibbi was as widely read, respected and “serious” as Tom Friedman or Howard Fineman, we would have a lot more to look forward to in 2008. (Have you noticed that placing “serious” in quotes is so in right now? Like pogs circa 1993. I do, however, appreciate when mainstream commentators describe candidates/thinkers […]

Yep, you read it right. I’m not sure what to make of this, but it’s worth posting so here it is (from today’s NYTimes Magazine):
Favorite Democrat: I like Congressman Dennis Kucinich. He’s running for president. He’s a very feisty guy. He’s a purist. I don’t think he’s going anywhere, but I tend to like true […]

As a supplement to the piece I posted yesterday about Kucinich’s trip to Syria, this short documentary from Current TV, “Syria 101,” is required viewing.
The whole thing is very informative and entertaining, but the last couple minutes of the second video is especially interesting because we hear from young Syrian bloggers speaking openly in […]

UPDATE: See this short documentary by Current TV, Syria 101, for an invaluable introduction to the country, its politics and its people.
That’s an interview Kucinich did on Syrian TV last week while visiting the region as part of a peace initiative and fact-finding tour - and, as Bluegal points out, to check up on the […]

It’s a safe bet that Mike Gravel will never be president of the United States. He’s too old, too poor, and too…grumpy. But that doesn’t mean we should ignore him. As anyone who thinks seriously about what’s going on in the world knows, he has a very, very good reason to be grumpy. While the […]

Update: Head over to The Largest Minority for a slightly updated poll and analysis.
I’m not sure if Dennis Kucinich is the new Ron Paul (in terms of internet popularity) — or that we even want him to be — but he’s building an impressive streak of online poll victories. The latest survey, running on MSNBC.com […]

Update: Head over to the Huff Post to read an article by Senator Bernie Sanders (doesn’t that sound nice?) about this video and his critically important bill to require congressional approval before any kind of military action against Iran. (h/t IamGadfly)
An important, just-released video from Brave New Films shows how Fox News is again acting […]

The recent debate in Iowa was the 27th Democratic forum this year. Yes, the twenty-seventh. It’s hard to blame Americans for losing interest, especially when hardly any debating occurs at these promotional events for the front-runners. Jon Stewart put the most recent debate in proper context — and his show last night is the feature […]
