I have a lot of changes and challenges coming to me in the next few weeks. I consider myself fortunate to have a loving family, a good job which includes healthcare.

The biggest change is that I'm going to be a new dad -- my wife is 38 weeks pregnant and ready to pop. We are getting great care at a top notch hospital and an amazing Nurse Midwives practice.

The challenge came through Facebook from the mother of a friend who isn't as fortunate.

(Sorry, can't embed from YouTube. grrr)

A great parody mashup of Foley and Dateline. A must watch.

Okay fine. Apparently in the Kos community video discourse isn't valued as much as textual entries.

I get it. We can all write, we can all persuade. But video and user generated video like this piece is a new and incisive way to change the discourse. That we are not able to embed from a site like youTube seriously handcuffs us to the old way of thinking. And by old way, I mean 2003.

Currently on iFilm the despicable Right Wing Meme, A Very Beazley Christmas is the most popular new comedy video. This poorly acted waste of Tax payer money must not be allowed to go unchallenged in 2005:The Christmas War.

We here at Daily Kos must not allow this to stand! Instead, we must vote our conscious -- we must push the liberal underdog from the blogosphere that is currently in second place behind the mutt propaganda. We must view and vote for Four Years Running (NSFW). Read More

We have crossed a milestone with this weekend's announcement that TiVo has entered into an agreement with the popular web show Rocketboom. Finally a model for independent television is upon us.

Right now the television shows are developed by a handful of trusted writer/producers in Hollywood who have become trusted enough to pitch there show ideas to the Networks. They've gained this trust by working on other television shows or by being incredibly success in another medium such as film, or books, or porn. If you're not one of these trusted people, the networks will not talk to you about your ideas.

These pitches are then considered by the network suits and a few are chosen to be turned into full fledged pilot scripts. These scripts are then read and fewer still are made into actual pilots and then the best pilots make it to air where most of them fail to generate the 8-15 million viewers required to stay on the air.

In all of the Fitzmas hype I thought this might get lost. It's a survey of households with computers and Internet access.

These are Dean's Gunrack voters. The people that need us the most and probably the biggest Bush Supporters.

We need to crack the code and get them back on the side of people that care about their well-being and not just cynically preying on their core beliefs.

I remember back when Dean was in the hunt, back in the winter of 2003.

I was at a family Christmas party talking to a liberal clatch of relatives, out of earshot from the more Republican among us.

There was a certain swagger and brio. Bush was ripe for the taking, and everyone knew that Howard Dean was the man to do it. Read More

From Slashdot:

http://it.slashdot.org/it/04/10/01/1715249.shtml?tid=172&tid=103&tid=1

Doc Ruby writes "AP is reporting that 'The government's cybersecurity chief has abruptly resigned after one year with the Department of Homeland Security, confiding to industry colleagues his frustration over what he considers a lack of attention paid to computer security issues within the agency."

I guess the guy wanted everyone to switch to Macs. :)

WASHINGTON -- Colorado Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave's old campaign Web site has been taken over by pornographers.

A Florida company now owns the rights to Musgrave's former domain name and has been using it to show pornography.

Just got back from seeing The Yes Men. It's a film that documents the guys behind yesmen.org and their WTO hijinks from a year or two ago.

As a film it's so-so, I'll give my detailed thoughts after the jump. Read More

I produced a music video for the Billionaires for Bush. Check it out at http://billionairesforbush.com/50billion.php

From Billionairesforbush.com:

50 Billion's Florida Hip-Hop Tour
The Billionaires are hitting the campaign trail in style once again -- our hip-hop mogul 50 Billion is going to Florida! Kicking off on September 29th in Miami on the eve of the first Presidential Debate, for the next month 50 Billion and his crew will tour with their new hit song, Don't Vote!, exploiting the political power of hip-hop to encourage youth to "Block the Vote". After all, too many gangster rappers at the polls would perturb our comfortable headlock on political power. We will be countering the efforts of organizations like CODE PINK, The League Of Pissed-Off Voters and Power On! to mobilize the youth vote. We will also join our Florida Billionaires to bring proper recognition to Geroge W. Bush, the best president money can buy!
