The Daily Kos link isn't working right now. Please fix when you get a chance.

Thanks for including my 1960 bit.

It was very alarming to understand that in the rules at the Iowa Caucus for Democrats the door is open for any Independent or Republican to come into the Democratic side, declare themselves a Democrat, and vote again.

Especially as the news commentary suggested that the Republican vote was cast. and immediately gave it’s Caucus area to the Democrats. At this point all the Republican bean counters needed to do was float enough Republican insurgents to the Democratic side, to send a lope sided message to America. They did. Giving Obama a win. Only the insiders know what happened but it would be interesting to know the truth of count manipulation. To be sure its kept a secret, and actually something expected by the Clintons.

This is all very scary, and does not represent a true picture of the electorate. Yet, shows everyone in America the horrible Primary way things can be manipulated. It’s obvious across the Mainstream Media spectrum every news commentator was glad to see Hillary come in third. It’s only my opinion that Hillary is clearly able to work out of this mess America is in using a great deal of hind sight Obama does not have.

It’s obvious, with Obama the electorate is confused and can not differentiate ego and audacity with, a real skill in true leadership. Obama pounds out change. Only what change is he going to do? So far Obama mirror’s every thing in the Hillary, or Edwards’s agenda. Change what? It’s all an empty suggestion to me.

Reflecting back to the Clinton administration, anyone who knows technology and grow up through that time understands the Clinton/ Gore team introduced the most profound change in the world and American by promoting the Internet in the educational process. Getting our education system online that quickly spread to the free market system which today is a reality of the most significant change in human history. A new world of online technology so profound it’s usefulness is unlimited to every citizen who hooks up to it. These minds of vision for goodness and social awareness are a treasure, and we are all witness as we write on these comment blogs to express our opinions to develop change. We write on these blogs every day ignoring the agents of change that made it possible. Clinton is among the giants of time. It’s surprising that Clinton and Gore did not achieve a Nobel Prize for this profound change. The voters of Iowa have be totally disconnected from reality not to understand that.

But most glaring in the ideal Change will never happen in America if Bush and Company is not held accountable for the abuse, profiteering and corruption it currently is swamped in. All deliberately avoided with Mainstream Media as a key player in a deception and corrupt manipulation beyond anytime in history. More and more Americans are keenly aware that news is biased for the few and against the electorate. These profiteers, these thousands of think tanks filled with bias operate with mainstream Media on a daily basis to manipulate America that run against the grain of the very fiber of the Constitution and free market system.

Hillary Clinton has the ability to create the same change needed right now in America. The real agent of change; vote Clinton 2008.

the thing you left out: hillary is partly responsible for the troubles we are in now. she had every opportunity in the world to take a strong stance against our country's backslide, but she chose not to, she chose to play it safe, she chose political posturing over courage and integrity. this is not leadership, and this does not lead one to think that she will be an agent of change. she is too aligned with the clinton neoliberal-DLC wing of the dem party, and they represent stagnation and status quo.

personally i am not a big obama fan, but--to me--he is much more inspirational than hillary, and has demonstrated his ability to make better choices than hillary.

Uh oh

How will this play in Peoria?

I remember when Talk of the Nation first started. In a way, John Hockenberry was an audio version of John Amato. The show was an audio blog. It was new and exciting, and I rarely missed a show, always eating at my desk.

When he went to ABC, I was very sad. Talk of the Nation survived without him (Ira Flatow had already hooked me on Science Friday in a Bill Nye sort of way), but I knew it was over for him.

I'm glad he's recovered.

I read about Hockenberry earlier this week, and am glad to see it highlighted here. Almost unfailingly, the MSM pushes for more shallow coverage, while average citizens, liberal bloggers and some reporters push for more depth.

The Holy Crap! links have a lot of good stuff there.

I liked the post on Halfway there

I love Holy crap, always have. Now I am GodMan, deliverer of evil, on earth as it is in Cleveland, baker of the daily bread, fornicator of trespasses and temptation! Hooray!!
