At last year's Netroots Nation I remember Russ Feingold talking about the risks of having too many special groups vying for TV time to spread their message to the people. The risk, among many things, inherent in that is that we would have Democrat and Republican products based on which companies contributed to which candidates. However, outside of Fox News & MSNBC (not making false equivalency), we do not see that among television stations themselves. However, with Karl Roves new ridiculous and blistering ads, whose claims have been called false by fact checkers in the past, that may need to be the next step.

Ben Bernanke has a thankless job. I mean, yes he is a Republican and he is not leaning hard enough on policies that could save the economy, but fundamentally he has a job to do, not entirely different from that of other central bankers. More importantly, like other central bankers, he has to ~~execute~~ carry out those duties as independently from the political aparatus as possible. That's the way Congress wanted it when they created the Federal Reserve.

Enter Rick Perry.

The New York Times, Wicked Local and conservative blogger Garrett Quinn all have sources or a belief that Elizabeth Warren will join the Democratic race to become the party's nominee to take on ~~Moderate~~ ~~Center-Right~~ ~~Conservative~~ Mitch McConnell ventriloquist dummy Scott Brown.

If you have not already heard, the unionized employees of Verizon have gone on strike. It is the first strike in eleven years and was precipitated by the most aggressive bargaining position the company has taken in years according to the New York Times. The roughly 45,000 employees of the Communication Workers of America and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers were being asked to give up pensions, sick days, job security and health insurance benefits.

President Barack Obama has announced that a deal has been reached to raise the debt ceiling. It is abysmal. The unemployed, sick and poor are thrown under the bus. That there can be no doubt. However, for all that there are some bright spots to be pried out from under the rear bus wheel.

Before Chris Christie became the governor of New Jersey, he was actually not a bad thing for the state. A book I would highly recommend, the Soprano State, a book by two political reporters from the garden state drips with praise for the work Christie did as the US Attorney. I read the book before anybody thought Christie had a hope in hell of becoming governor and even then I thought that the praise was overdone, but clearly NJ needed the heavy something to fix things. Without an elected AG, New Jersey needed something. Was that something meant for governing, though? We found out tonight.

I was nervous at first that I had spent too much money in coming to Netroots. However, over the course of time I realize that it has been all worth it. While there have been some weird or lower moments (Breitbart's attempted media swarm into the convention and the unfortunate attention libs gave him), on balance it has been great.
