Obama’s dangerous pals
Comment in News (0 diggs, 0 replies) - on 10/01/2008
This is just lie. The first two paragraphs are lies, lies, lies. I worked for ACORN as their statewide lobbyist in PA two years before the whole thing blew up, and we were trying to tighten standards and make the worst abuses illegal. We were the ones pre … (see comment)

I know people who sat in rooms with Greenspan years ago and warned him about how bad the mortgage industry had gotten, and Greenspan didn't listen. I made the same warnings to the PA officials who claimed to listen. But they did not ever take action. Not … (see comment)

JibJab.Com Unleashes "Time for Some Campaignin"
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/17/2008
This is another great Jib Jab creation. The Obama caricature captures precisely my take, though of course I'm still going to vote for the guy. Everyone is going to enjoy the images of Bush packing up his awful awful white house. Sung to the tune of Dylan' … (see comment)

It's a little creepy how the twins in the blazers are trying to get on the twins in the dresses. The ladies don't seem 100% pumped about it. (see comment)

Community-Based Wind Farms Put Power in People’s Hands
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 06/05/2008
Philadelphia should build a wind far by putting windmills on the roofs of houses along the rivers and anywhere else that gets a decent breeze. We could use the power generated to offset the cost of the coming electricity deregulation here and keep prices … (see comment)

This makes a lot of sense. Figure out what you've got that people like and then really start telling people about it. But what if no one likes you??? (see comment)

She doesn't really have courage at this point, right? She's an institution. She has nothing to fear. That's the thing about her. I'm glad we have her, but it's not like anyone could get away with firing her or banning her from the press room. (see comment)

We Each Pay $115/year to Factory Farms to Confine Animals
Comment in News (4 diggs, 0 replies) - on 04/26/2008
I was going to write that this is one more reason that I'm glad I'm vegetarian, because I assumed it was a part of the cost of food. But it's not! It's tax money. Man, that really stinks. I hate paying taxes to help people kill things and generate an exce … (see comment)

Affordable Electric Cars Coming to US in 2009
Comment in News (4 diggs, 4 replies) - on 04/24/2008
Where I'm from, we get our electricity from one of the US's few nuclear plants, so it would be totally emissions free. And, anyone, can't they clean up smog from power plants better than they can from cars? I don't really know, but a single source seems b … (see comment)

World’s First Anti-Anorexia Law May Be Passed in France
Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 04/16/2008
I don't know where this falls on the whole civil liberties thing, but it's definitely a debate that needs to be had. The French are so healthy food-wise, that it would be a shame to see the good thing they have going destroyed. And, this is sort of a funn … (see comment)

Definitely agree with Seth that there is promise in organizing online, but we ain't there yet and I don't see the mechanism thus far. But it will happen. Ya gotta believe. (see comment)

This is a really compelling post. I never really thought of having the nerve to download a different browser as being all that big of a deal, but maybe it is. anyway.... the problem I have with this post is that he says he "would treat Firefox users as a … (see comment)

Happy Shrimp?
Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 04/10/2008
I've always thought shrimp were like cockroaches, so I never really ate them, and now I'm a vegetarian so I don't touch the bugs of the see at all... but I know people like them so I am happy that they can be made sustainably. I think there is also a mark … (see comment)
