On The Rachel Maddow show in Feb 17, 2009 she had a overwhelmingly fascinating long interview with Professor Gillespie of MIT about the use of unrelated technologies to find Osama Bin Laden. This is sort of like watching ‘Numb3rs’ on CBS where most of the crimes are solved using mathematics. This time the Professor and his team from MIT are using “The Application of Biogeographic Theories and Satellite Imagery”. It is a relatively complicated topic but his original paper...

Interview of John Podesta At First Meeting of The Middle Class Task Force
John Podesta, head of the transition team for Obama, and President of the Center for American Progress was interviewed several days ago by Norah O’Donnel. The exact topic was again what constitutes ‘Green Jobs’. Is their first mission going to be the commonsense retrofitting homes and buildings throughout the USA? How?

‘Rightwing Tax and Budget Myths’
From Think Progress here is an excellent, detailed explanation of the attempt by the Republican Right to create the Budget Myth. Many will say that the Republicans are all members of the extreme Right. I don’t agree. I think there are thinking members of that party that are being silenced out of sheer fear of reprisal. At any rate, this will give you some real talking point and, more importantly, data sources to use when talking to others. Rather...
Weird DL Hugley Interview With Hip-Hop Chuck D and Michael Steele
This has to be the only time I’ve seen this type of interview where three black men of leadership spoke and one didn’t get the message. Steele. He actually thinks he was elected on merit. Really! Watch and enjoy the weirdness. (personal comment at the end) [It was my duty to keep a watch and update the site this weekend. Yesterday was one of those days that leave you with a headache for a week! At any rate, we're...
