After meeting Barack Obama and seeing his quiet, yet strong nature. I asked myself how can we promote and introduce his great confidence and hope to America. I don't blog often, but I work in a creative business and hoped that I could help in some way. What I came up with is an idea for an ad that I'd like to share with all of you at Daily Kos. Here it is:

Frame one
A quiet tree-lined working class neighborhood early in the morning, a lone silhouette of a figure walks down the street toward the camera.

This may be old news, but we need to impress upon our lame duck Senate the necessity of academic freedom in a democratic society.
The Academic Bill of Rights (ABOR) is being pushed by conservative David Horowitz who believes that it will protect the academic freedom of college students from ideological indoctrination by professors."

The conservatives are trying to leverage their agenda into universities and colleges. We need to let the lame duck Senate know that this Bill needs to be dumped.

The College Access and Opportunity Act, passed by the House in March and under consideration in the Senate, aims to deny federal funding to institutions -- even private ones -- that refuse to comply with ABOR's limitations on speech.

I did not see this story at Dkos and thought I would post it. Please forgive me if this has already shown up, but I thought it was important. It appears that Speaker Hastert's aide interfered with a security probe. It seems that something is being hidden (once again) by Congressional Republicans.

Two former House committee investigators who were examining Capitol Hill security upgrades said a senior aide to Speaker J. Dennis Hastert hindered their efforts before they were abruptly ordered to stop their probe last year.

In the past week I have seen President Clinton angrily stand up to Fox News, Keith Olbermann show his indignation at the the right wing and the President in his special comment, and Al Franken smackdown Tony Blankley on Hardball.

Wow!

These are the people that I want to be associated with. The measured calm taking that the Democrats have exuded is important, but its great to see people showing that they passionately care about the political direction of this country. Read More

Perhaps its not violence, but there were some sad and unethical things going on the Indiana Republican Primary. Here's the story that ran in the Evansville Courier-Press last Friday, May 26th:

GOP tampering unsolved http://www.courierpress.com/...

"Barring a confession or the emergence of new evidence, no culprit will be unmasked in the computer tampering mini-scandal that forced Vanderburgh County's top Republican to resign last month. Jennifer Hallowell, executive director of the Indiana Republican State Committee, said an investigation into the unauthorized alteration of Rep. Suzanne Crouch's profile in a national GOP database yielded no suspects."

I'll give you more specifics below the fold. Read More

Cue theme song sung to the tune of "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?"
It really is hard to forget about a fellow that has managed to inspire killers all over the world to strike against innocent populations, but president Bush has managed to do just that. In fact, there appears to be a senior Bush advisor who bears a striking resemblance to him in the picture below. Surely, it would take a merciless terrorist to reveal and endanger a CIA operative. So once again we need to help President Bush find Osama. Maybe we can find him in the picture below:

By the way a great place to check on the President's vow to get Bin Laden "dead or alive" is the Osama Clock. He seems to be making great headway after nearly four years. Good Luck Marshall Bush!

That pesky rapscallion, Osama Bin Laden, is still roaming free. Like Waldo, he can often be hard to find. But thanks to new technology and Porter Goss's "Osama-Cam," we can get pictures of his locations. Even with all this impressive technology, he still can be hard to see. Please help President Bush find Osama by looking for him in the picture below.
