Democracy by the Funders

Lawrence Lessig give a presentation about the dangers of the current political campaign funding climate. He really is a great presenter, and delivers a powerful message.

Inauguration 2009 Photos

Here are photos from a trip me and several friends took to Washington D.C. around Jan 20, 2009 for the Inauguration of president Obama.

Support change in our political process!

Lawrence Lessig gives a good overview of why change in our political process is needed (in his view) and how to effect such change. Plus he has a great presentation style.

Palin Loves Killing!

Despite the disturbing nature of what takes place in the background... this is a pretty hilarious situation when you take the words she speaks into account.

First "Presidential" fireside chat on Youtube.

Barack's first (of many) weekly fireside chat's is put on Youtube, this is exciting.

Dan Savage vs. Tony Perkins

Dan Savage takes on an advocate for the Mormon Church's support of Proposition 8 in California. I seriously can't believe this was passed... seriously.

A special comment on Proposition 8

With his wonderful eloquence, Kieth Olberman makes Prop 8 supporters question thier reasons for support... well hopefully.

Lawrence Lessig at the Web 2.0 Conference

A pretty great presentation from L. Lessig again.

Voter confusion in action

The Vet who did not Vet

HA!

Powell comes on board.

Powerful words come with his support for Obama.

Naomi Wolf on the CURRENT slide of US into a closed society! Must Watch.

Chilling. I recommend her book, and this video highly!

John McCain and his links to the Savings and Loan Scandal of the 80's

As if you needed more reason to NOT vote for this guy? Do you think he will be able to help with our current financial sittuation? Me either!

She sticks the landing!

I'm putting it out there now, Palin is going to biff big time in the VP debates tonight. She is going to flounder and fail in many big ways and I am going to enjoy every minute of it.

A highlight reel of her recent awesomeness to fail.

Considering not voting?

Well don't not vote.

More lies from the Prop 1 No Campaign

Seattle Transit Blog has a good summation of a summation article in the PI about Cost to expand light rail under debate.

Now my summation: The No campaign is using a questionable way to count the amount of taxes collected for Proposition 1 in order to scare people into thinking that Proposition 1 is TOO expensive.

Rather then go into detail on why, I'll leave you to find the information on the blog posting here

It boils down to... if you are interested in seeing some REAL long term strategy for dealing with traffic in this area then Proposition 1 is the way to make that happen.

More lies!

More documented lies from Palin... Her chances of becoming president if her and McCain win the election are not bad... do YOU think she would be a good president?

More on the lie

Another illustration of the lies that the McCain campaign perpetuates.

Not just a pretty face

Damon on Palin.


"I want to know if she thinks that Dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago... I want to know if she banned or tried to ban books." EXACTLY! Why don't we know this stuff? What are they hiding her for? Where are the interviews?

There is a 1 in 3 chance that flat tire face won't make it through his 1st term... yikes.

Not that I'm trying to copy Kris or anything. He just posts a lot of cool stuff.

Is McCain a decent person?

I think not, and to everyone out there who thinks otherwise I encourage you to look at what he is saying and what the lies he is telling, or enabling by not refuting is saying about his character. Do you want that kind of man as our president?
