Going for Transparency on Slate.
In 2004, Slate listed how its correspondents and columnists voted in the presidential election. Then-editor Michael Kinsley explained: No doubt it is true that most journalists vote Democratic, just as most business executives (including most media owners) vote Republican, though neither tendency is as pronounced as their respective critics believe. This is a natural result Read More
We Need Better Conservatives, Part II.
Tim Fernholz: …people on the left, especially during the dark days of the early oughts, and, historically, in the eighties with the New Democrats, have shown a willingness to say, “Whoa, something isn’t working here.” Sometimes that took the form of saying that liberals need to be more pragmatic, more conservative, etc., and sometimes it Read More

This is great. How many people in North Carolina get it?
"It Will Become Easier to Bring A Black Man Home if Obama Is Elected."
I’ve been blogstalking Devis With Babies, a blog by two South Asian women (with babies) that I came to via the very thought-provoking Sepia Mutiny.

Al The Shoe Salesman Gets A Tax Cut.
Are you wondering how Barack Obama is spending the ridiculous amount of money he has? Peruse the Obama-Biden Youtube Channel. There are more than 1500 videos. Some are your typical stump speeches by Obama, Biden, Michelle, and surrogates. Some are the debates. Some are punditry. And some are pure awesome.
More Obama on Public Radio.
WBEZ has posted more episodes of “Odyssey,” a show on which Obama has appeared four times. It’s pretty fascinating to listen to the former state senator participate in conversations about topics as diverse as the Constitution and urban policy. It’s particularly relevant because as G.D. and others noted in this thread, Obama’s background is in Read More
