Barack Obama and the Book BusinessBy Peter Osnos, The Century Foundation
Now comes the part in which Obama showed a steely side and displayed an element of character which, while completely legal and entirely within his rights as a writer, makes me uneasy. Everyone agrees that our political system and values are being corroded by [...]
You’ve probably heard about it already, but here is some video of the Mike Stark/George Allen incident. Now I don’t know about this. Sure the George Allen staffers went a little overboard in “taking down” Mr. Stark, but his question and the way he went about it was a little overboard as well.

Sen. Barack Obama (right) isn’t just one of the names most bandied about by prognosticators of the next Democratic Party presidential primary cycle, he’s also an accomplished author…and one whose books can command quite a hefty price under the right conditions. For example, signed first editions of Dreams of My Father, his 1995 autobiography, [...]
This Halloween will be the last time most U.S. kids yell “trick-or-treat” in the dark, as next year’s extension of daylight saving time promises to shed more light on traditional candy-gathering activities.
This year clocks will be turned back one hour on Sunday, October 29, bringing a close to daylight saving time and an earlier nightfall [...]
I look around and I see copies of The New Yorker and Zoetrope: All Story strewn about, corners dogeared marking interesting articles. A pair of running shoes sits in the corner next to some athletic wear. The shoes are worn from use and dedication. In the kitchen are vegetarian cookbooks, a Whole [...]

Maybe she should get together with one of those fat people that has to wash
themselves with a rag on a stick and get cut out of their house and do a
sitcom/reality show. It'd be Amos and Andy meets Laurel and Hardy meets

"The Atlanta plant and the employees there had a great run - the vehicles they built there were very important to the company," said Ford spokeswoman Anne Marie Gattari. "Unfortunately, we’re in a transition period where we are working to align our capacity with the customer demand and as a result we have to idle [...]

Rummy says “back off!” to critics of Iraq.
I wonder how long it will take for someone to make a set of Donald Rumsfeld mud flaps.

Straying from politics for a moment, the new issue of Wired contains an excellent story about the new-atheism movement, its impact and its implications on the political landscape.
It’s a question you may prefer not to be asked. But I’m afraid I have no choice. We find ourselves, this very autumn, three and a half [...]
Got this email today:
Last month we told you about GNN’s new film American Blackout that uncovers the issue of voter disenfranchisement that occurred in the past presidential elections.
