Cenk Uygur, deserves an award (maybe a Nobel Peace Prize :D) for cutting through the B.S that constitutes US media propaganda and filters down onto the dumbed down masses that constitute most of the US population.

The First Rasmussen Poll gauging voters reactions to the War in Gaza has been conducted.

The headline should have been. Poll Junkies breathe a sigh of relief at new data to discuss/debate imo.

Sixty-two percent (62%) of Republicans back Israel’s decision to take military action against the Palestinians, but only half as many Democrats (31%) agree. A majority of Democrats (55%) say Israel should have tried to find a diplomatic solution first, a view shared by just 27% of Republicans.

Wow who would of guessed Republican's back Israel's War War War while rational Democrats favour Peace Peace Peace in da Middle East.

Personally find the last bit the most shocking "27% of Republicans say Israel should have tried to find a diplomatic solution first" Kinda shows how highly they rate diplomacy vs just blowing shit up and hoping the problem goes away.

This last week, there has been a lot of talk on the web about Supply Lines in Afghanistan. None of it really good. But by far the worst of the news landed today via the UK Times.

The West is indirectly funding the insurgency in Afghanistan thanks to a system of payoffs to Taleban commanders who charge protection money to allow convoys of military supplies to reach Nato bases in the south of the country.

Seems the job of transferring supplies from the port city of Karachi in Pakistan to the troops in landlocked Afghanistan isn't going as well as most people would like.

In the United States today, "one marijuana user is arrested every 40 seconds."1 This is a huge figure on a lot of levels but what I want to talk about is the Economic effects of this policy.

The tragedy of the War on Drugs is that this knowledge [of the empirical evidence that suggests marijuana prohibition does not work] hasn't been heeded. We continue to treat marijuana as a major threat to public health, even though we know it isn't. We continue to lock up generations of teenage drug dealers, even though we know imprisonment does little to reduce the amount of drugs sold on the street. And we continue to spend billions to fight drugs abroad, even though we know that military efforts are an ineffective way to cut the supply of narcotics in America or raise the price.

I am progressive. I am liberal. I make no apologies. I believe government has an obligation to create an even playing field for all of this country's citizens and immigrants alike. I am not a socialist. I do not seek enforced equality. However, there has to be equality of opportunity, and the private sector, left to its own devices, will never achieve this goal.

Kos 2002

So what the fuck is Kos doing attacking his own. Ain't progressive vs progressive what we not want to see? Especially after the stellar Obama victory. But no Kos today decided to go there and start bitching at Ralph Nader just cause its a slow news day and he had to post something.

Ok I'm Gonzolegend and I have a problem... I'm a hopeless nerd/political junkie, who also holds a degree in Journalism, probably a bit obsessive about this election but I'm also guessing that you are too?

So I've compiled this diary to let you know what the major news networks are planning come election night based on there Press Releases and other media sites. All so you can make an informed judgement on which channel you wanna watch Barack Obama get announced as the winner.

Also I'll just add all the networks worried about it being called to early? Who cares? People going to stay up to watch history live. They need to stop worrying. Anyway line-up below the fold

Bob Barr, the third party Libertarian Candidate for President (and former Georgia congressman) has predicted Obama will win Georgia and its 15 electoral votes.

Senator John McCain will not win Georgia. His shrinking poll numbers are an indication that McCain is losing touch with the American public as we get closer to November 4th.

This comes as devastating news to the McCain campaign as polls taken a month ago showed McCain with a 54 - 43 lead in the traditionally Red State.

"This is the most compelling and exciting Republican politician in a generation," - Jonah Goldberg, National Review, on Sarah Palin.

Are the Republicans crazy? Why pick a woman with zero experience, a mountain of scandals and a collection of youtube gaffes as Vice President. It sure "seems" crazy, but you guys know Republican strategists are a lot of things but they are not crazy. They are smart and they win elections.

The key to this election (namely winning, not just the White House but a filibuster proof majority in the Senate) is to understand what they are doing and why they are doing it.

Cindy McCain's appearance at the RNC, alongside Laura Bush, asking viewers to donate to Gulf Relief charities was done in style.

How much style you ask? Well $300,000 buys a lot of style apparently. First the list as discovered by Vanity Fair of all publications.

Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, designer unknown: $600
Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100
