Whoops! Got a little chatty with the ol’ ball n’ chain the ol’ man SSG Dizzy, today, then got caught up in a lot of necessary real life stuff. Who knew growing a rock could be so much work (true story)? Except for that time of month, “better late than never”, I always say.
Today’s Ten [...]

Finally back from my much needed summer break. Not sure if anyone really missed me, but I have to send a shout-out to all my chicas (and hombres) who had my back while I had my guard down.
Let’s jump right in, to today’s Ten Post Round-Up, why don’t we? The last few days have shed [...]

I’ll quote Ezra Klein on Bill Clinton’s incredible speech tonight, because Ezra says it all in his opening paragraph:
He left little unsaid. For all the talk of Bill Clinton’s anger, his resentment, his grudges, Clinton took the stage tonight and threw the full weight of his prestige behind Barack Obama. Leveraging that peculiar credibility that [...]

Get this as an interesting piece of reality. H/T to the petition site for a Wes Clark selection.
Huffington Post ran a very interesting piece today from Seth Colter-Walls:
My colleague Sam Stein reported earlier today that Barack Obama’s VP choice will speak on the veteran-themed third night of the Democratic convention. As he noted, top Obama [...]

I’ll continue the concept of Pamela’s excellent article with another long shot possibility that may have been made by Barack Obama. I agree with Pamela that all this smoke may be a screen for another VP pick. With that as a basis I’ll bring another name to the list. A name I know very well.
Wes [...]

Al Gore gave an impassioned speech today in Washington, “laying out his new approach to the entwined challenges of limiting risks from global warming and instability from rising energy prices and declining supplies of fossil fuels.” Watch a clip from Al Gore’s speech here:
In his speech, Gore put forth a challenge to citzens and politicians in [...]

The must read of the day today is this piece by Chris Hedges, in the L.A. Times: Stop the new FISA:
If the sweeping surveillance law signed by President Bush on Thursday — giving the U.S. government nearly unchecked authority to eavesdrop on the phone calls and e-mails of innocent Americans — is allowed to stand, we [...]

The complicated nature of the FISA fight is well explained in a new column by Jeffrey Feldman at The Frameshop. As usual, Feldman lays out a complicated subject in a comprehensive understandable manner. Read this article to enhance your understanding of the Washington fight that’s going to happen after the July 4th recess.
Russ Feingold is [...]

What a day… I barely had a chance to even check the news today. Here’s a few important links of the days on the political front:
From the Huff Po: Dodd And Feingold Will Filibuster Telecom Immunity… and “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) says he will support Dodd and Feingold.” Think Progess has more.
Oh and [...]

MoveOn is flexing some supporter muscle on Barack Obama over FISA… They want more from him than ”I’ll Fight To Strip Telecom Immunity From FISA.”
Politico reports:
Insisting on a campaign promise that Obama would filibuster any wiretapping bill that included retroactive immunity for the telecommunications companies that let the government listen in, Obama’s allies at MoveOn are [...]
