Did you know Barack Obama was Irish? Find out how as Ireland's own Shay Black breaks it down for you, OLD SCHOOL! Shay sings you the story at Berkeley's famous Starry Plough Irish Session, taking place every Sunday,

For those of you who don't know the Starry Plough is one of Berkeley's oldest progressive houses of protest. We were even lucky enough to get this posted on Obama's site.

I remember about a year and a half ago there was some girl in the news that was making a quilts for the family of every soldier that was killed in Iraq. This was in the days of cheers and flowers in the streets of Baghdad (right).
Does anyone know where I could dig up that info. Im not sure if I saw it here, Tom Tomorrow or at Atrios.
I think it would make a prudent post somewhere in the Blogosphere to update her progress.

George W Bush has a blog

This is really disturbing. (I don't know how to link a video file so I will just post the address.)

I was told this is a recent bombing run over Falluja. Note the very rash decision to target the people in the street as opposed to the house.
It makes it really easy to doubt when Rummy denies killing people at weddings and funeral processions.
Also note the pleased "whoa dude" response from the pilot.
Well on our way to winning hearts and minds I see. I wish the news networks would run with more footage like this.

I was sitting around with a few of my friends last night, one of whom is visiting from Ohio, and he told me something that I thought was interesting. He purposly registered republican so that he would be contacted via phone and receive mailers from the Bush Cheney campaign etc. He did this so that they would spend money on him even though there is no way in hell he would ever vote Bush. Anytime he gets a phone call he tells them he is undecided and would like to know more about the campaign. This leads to more materials being sent to him.
Also he said there are many of his friends who go through this and feign that they are convinced and ask for materials to get the word out to their friends.
Of course they end up in the dumpster.
I know that it is a small impact but I figured I'd share it with the Dkos community to see what you thought as I thought it was cool. Maybe others in swing states could follow their lead and the mole hill could become a mountain!

Im not sure how many of you know that tomorrow nights edition of Nightline was going to be completely dedicated to reading the names of the US soldiers whom have given their lives in the
war in Iraq.
However Sinclair Broadcasting has decided that they are going to pull the show tomorrow (over 10 stations in battleground states). I called them this morning to complain and they read me a written statement questioning Ted Coppel's motives for reading these names and claimed it would be more appropriate if he were to read the names of those who have been killed in terrorist attacks.
Obviously this is crap because I have heard about several instances where the entire list of 9-11 victims have been read and not once have I heard about a mass media outlet reading of the list of dead soldiers.
I urge you all to call these stations and voice your dissaproval. Don't be mean as the people you are talking to don't make decisions. Just log a well thought out complaint.
Here are the Phone #'s (via Atrios) Be sure to check out his post as he has some other great links.

Sinclair Broadcasting 410-568-1500

WXLV, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point NC 336-274-484
WEAR, Pensacola 850-456-3333
KDNL, St. Louis
WSYX, Columbus OH 614-481-6666
WLOS, Asheville NC 828-684-1340
WCHS, Charleston, Huntington W VA 304-346-5358
WGGB, Springfield MA (413) 733-4040
WTXL, Tallahassee (850)893-4140

We really need to let them know that this is unnacceptable.

Well the buzz is out about Air America and I'm very excited. However from what I have read the San Francisco station is listed as comming soon?!!? Being a Bay area dweller how would I go about catching the launch tomorrow. The Air America site does not say anything about a program stream. Also will the O Franken Factor debut at noon on the left coast or will I have to tune in at 9am?
I tell you if I miss it I will just die!
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

So its now official Edwards is out.
Looks like its time for us all to rally and Crush the monkey. I say we bury the hatchet on our individual causes and get on the ABB train. Granted this is hard for me as I'm a reforming Deaniac.
