I have been reading about the Federal Reserve's injection of $70 billion, and while there are basic descriptions of what was purchased, I'm not quite sure how this whole game is supposed to be played.

Do we have any economics specialists that could direct me to a source of information that would describe the activities of the fed in relatively clear terms?

An example of what I'm wondering about below the fold:

I am just shocked tonight at the video that was played at the Republican Convention tonight. We had not watched it live, but were able to watch it on MSNBC about 30-45 minutes ago, and I am at a loss for words regarding the video. I ended up sending the words of plf515, after reading their post which you can find under "A 9/11 Victim Speaks".

My wife just went back to the link to the video so that she could send the link in an email she is sending, and it is off the MSNBC site at this time. We checked everywhere they have video listed, and were unable to find a way to watch it.

The link that used to point to the video was:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/...

Please contact MSNBC and ask them why they still keep up Olbermann apologizing for the republicans using 9/11 in the video, but they won't allow people to watch the video themselves so they can judge it.

I am able to view the video still if I click the link, but my wife can't. I am thinking I still have it cached, and will see if I can figure out a way for people to access it. It is not on the list on Olbermann's page like it was before.

From Orcinus

We noticed last week that it was awfully peculiar that Colorado’s U.S. Attorney, Troy Eid, had so airily dismissed conspiracy charges against the three white-supremacist tweakers who were caught planning to assassinate Barack Obama at last week’s Democratic National Convention in Denver.

Why would it be peculiar? He's a republic hack that doesn't really care if Obama is in danger, because the Democrats, Liberals, and dirty fucking hippies are all just a cancer on America right?

I have been following the raids and arrests that have been going on in St. Paul and have been astounded to hear what is going on up there. I feel for those who have had to deal with this extreme application of police power.

While reading an article from the Minnesota Independent, I noticed something that was quite disturbing and really put a tick in my mind.

What was the disturbing thing I noticed you ask?

They came here to try and stop the convention, to crash the gates, to stop the buses,

They failed. They made numerous attempts to crash the gates and never got in."

Isn't it extremely coincidental that the police chief would use that phrase in this situation?

Here are some links to the video we recorded at the October 27th Iowa peace rally. I have labelled each video with the name of the speaker, and the youtube page has a short description. I highly recommend Ako Abdul-Samad, and Mayor Cownie also gave some good comments. We wanted to share this with everyone who wasn't able to make it, feel free to post or pass it around!

I recieved one of those inane forwards yesterday from a relative, and after showing it to the wife, she decided to make a full reply. I wanted to share it with you all.

The email is suppposedly from the president, and he is writing to let us know he is quitting his job (I wish). Here is her reply, all credits go to her:

My thoughts follow with the original in quotes:

" Normally, I start these things out by saying 'My Fellow
> Americans.' Not doing it this time. If the polls are any
> indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore."

If the polls are any indication, you don't speak for most Americans anymore. Maybe instead of ignoring them, you should be what you were voted to be, a REPRESENTATIVE for Americans.

"I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really
> not fellow Americans any longer."

cute two fold bull. First and foremost, invoke 9/11, the DEFINING MOMENT right?. Cause we all know, you've screwed it up from there. And now that we don't agree with you anymore, you say we're not Americans anymore? WE'RE Americans, and as our PRESIDENT you tell us we are NOT? And you're better then a dictator because......?

I heard a true statesman speak last night. Someone who holds onto the ideals our country is founded on, someone I can believe in. Joe Wilson delivered an amazing lecture that reinforced my belief in my country. Here is my summary, and I have included a link to the audio below.

Click Here to download the full audio

Wilson began by speaking about Iraq, about the fact that when he had previously been in Iowa to speak, he spent most of his time explaining why it was a bad move to go into Iraq. He talked about two soldiers that recently died in Iraq and asked the question: What is the mission? What is the specific task our soldiers are doing in Iraq?

My wife and I attended a town hall meeting today with Senator Grassley. We counted 48 chairs setup for the town hall, and I would estimate we ended up with about 60-65 people there, when Grassley started the meeting he remarked that he was suprised at the number of people attending.

The meeting was very interesting and it was good to see the public both laughing at and heckling our Senator (who represents us!) when he started trying to bullshit his constiutents.
