Ok, i know i know, this is still in the This is still in the metastasizing phase, but there seems to be some information on this over on the Current blog with some interesting evidence, or "evidence", including a legit police report.

There is a lot of sift through here, but I thought this community should be aware of this and assist with some crowd-sourcing to sort through the material. It could be nothing here, or, as somebody on Faux News would say: "This could be HUGE!"

Question in my mind that is unclear regarding the Treasury Plan. A basic assumption needs to be clarified: Are returns allocated on a Total Portfolio basis or a Per Asset / Security basis?

The proponents argue that the private investors are in a first loss position, and are therefore incented to not overpay.
Opponents imply that that there is an incentive to overpay, because the potential losses on a given security is limited to only the portion that the private
investor puts in, but the potential gains are unlimited - effectively giving the investors a free Put option.

So here i was, going in the voting booth, hoping to vote for Walter Mondate. After not finding him on the ballot, i became disgruntled and started looking for Bill Clinton. I assumed he was running for president again, as he's been all over TV, talking about "The Clinton Plan for (insert issue)" and why it would be the best plan for the country to build a bridge back to the 21st century. When there was no Bill Clinton on the ballot, in an act of desperation, and pushed the touch screen marked "Obama", because his name sounded really cool and gave me hope. After I pressed the Obama button, the machine said that I had voted for Ronald Reagan!!!

I was shocked, fuming, and couldn't believe that the state of Virginia in collusion with the electronic voting machine had stolen my vote and given it to Reagan! This was particularly upsetting because Walter Mondale was my first choice! How could this happen? I talked to everyone else in line, as we had all waited 4 hours to vote, (Virginia must not have prepared to have this level of turnout on super Tuesday), and many of us said that our Mondale votes had in fact gone to Reagan. I would rather have voted for Paris Hilton.

How could this be? I will never trust Virginia voting again!

Progressive Rabbi Michael Lerner on Larry King Tonight will be on tonight. Unfortunately, he is only on for a 10 minute segment during the first half, and he'll be facing a virulent right wing critic

For those of you who are not familiar with Rabbi Lerner, he is the head of Tikkun, and progressive Jewish organization with a membership base consisting of moderate Jews, Christian, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, agnostics, and others. Rabbi Lerner is also active in the growing "religous Left" and "Spiritual Progressives"

For those of you trying to make sense of the middle east crisis through a progressive lense, i REALLY reccomend checking out and joining his group Tikkun

The interviewer is being respectfull

Great interview, comes across very genuine. I believe Donny Deutch is interiwer her

I don't know if it's live, but they are calling it "Exclusive"

The audience is highly symphathetic

She mentions that she has been working in the peace movement, so she's not running from us. She's a great spokeperson for us if this is how she presents herself all the time

Not to harp on this, but just to show you how influential the fanatical religous elements are in the US, and how in fact "mainstream" they are within the US framework, here is a media site that documents
that Pat "Fatwa", "detonate a nuclear device underneath the State Department" Robertson has been on Fox News 10 times in the last year!!!

The hard core reality is that US conservatives take a "kid gloves" and apoligistic approach to Christian Fundamentalists, which allow them (the fundamentalists) to operate within the mainstream, albeit on the flanks. Don't preach to Muslims until you clean up your own house

It seems that the confluence of recent events, from Paul Hackett, to Cindy Sheehan, to general malaise against the Iraq war and the extreme right wing is bringing more and more people into the "progressive netroots"

For instance Kos traffic is way up, according to the Alexa rankings. More significantly, www.HuffingtonPost.com traffic has had a meteoric rise, and as of this week is approaching Drudge levels!!

PENTAGON COVER UP!!! RAPES AND MURDERS in Abu Ghraib

Looks like the Pentagon just blocked the release of tapes and pictures showing some extremely sadistic stuff going on at Abu Ghraib. This is certainly way more than "abuse". I wonder if all the mindless right wingers are going to apologise to Amnesty International for using the word "Gulag" to apply to a place where Arab women were raped, children sodomized, and people killed?

Going back to what Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said:
"'The American public needs to understand we're talking about rape and murder here. We're not just talking about giving people a humiliating experience,' Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told reporters after Rumsfeld testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee. 'We're talking about rape and murder -- and some very serious charges.'

This could be HUGE, but it will take time

It's called Independent World Television. Apparently, they have already started to fundraising process, with a grant from the Macarthur Foundation. They will be a non profit world new network offering "full spectrum debate". No adverstising, so cable companies won't have to pay to carry them.

Look at thier board of advisors, definately many progressives

Its scheduled to ramp up in 2007.

This is unbelievable!

Now we've got 2 pure partisan hacks on MSNBC! 9 pm Tucker and 10pm Scarborough

this so deppressing. Won't these guys ever know that there's a huge hole in the market on the left side? This is hole is so big you could drive a truck through it!

I don't know when the MSM and the SCLM will learn. I was SO hoping for a show by Ron Reagan JR. He's fantastic and he's already on MSNBC. Why couldn't they give him a show.

Sure i'm glad that Olberman is investigating the voting thing, but he's hardly a partisan or ideological hack like Carlson and Scarborough. We need another network so badly!
