Some bite-sized morsels, juicy and/or crunchy depending on your disposition and mood:
>Thom Hartmann, heard on over 100 terrestrial stations and on three TV networks, is moving his show to our nation’s Capitol, effective 10/1. He joins Randi Rhodes and Bill Press in taking up residence in the Belly of the Beasts, with all of the media advantages such as increased access to the news and the power players that entails. Portland’s loss is Washington’s gain - all the best of luck to Thom and Louise, and I intend to keep listening;
>The White House is starting to roll out some ads and doing some campaigning, finally, on the benefits of the admittedly flawed health care bill. To think that there are some so-called Dems who are actually running against this bill - perhaps it’s because of the backwardness of their constituents, perhaps because of their own backwardness, whatever it is - how do you run against banning these profit-off-your-pain corporopaths from imposing lifetime limits, from rescission, from many of the other goodies that just took effect today? At least the president did something about it, he and those with the modicum of political courage it took to pass it;
>The White House has given far too much credit to the American People at large, for not seeing through the Fox News BS and the ultimate effect it will have on the upcoming election. There are a lot of good people in very tight races, and now down to the wire. All this, and the monetary nuclear blasts from the corporate donors haven’t even started yet. An interesting time, the upcoming five weeks.
Wake up, people.
