My absolutely favorite bit from the YouTube debate tonight, presented by the John Edwards campaign.
John needs to blanket the airwaves with this one.
UPDATE: And this was the best question of the night. Only Kucinich had a direct answer.

Ahhhh……
Isn’t it great to have the Daily Show back again?
Here’s John Oliver on English-only language laws:
The iPhone, Wireless Networks, and Net Neutrality
In these two videos, Ben Scott of SavetheInternet.com explains the importance of the Congressional iPhone hearings. Presented by Open Left.
You can follow all of Open Left’s coverage of Net Neutrality issues at the link.
Guess it’s official
September then and now…
UPDATE: A re-do. Because I wanted it to be at the top again.
Come September, we’ll know whether the occupation of Iraq has succeeded.
But everyone’s linking to this one:
How times change.
It strikes me how much the young men in that first video look like they could be Young Republicans today (well, maybe they’re a little more stylish). That’s the era they really want to get back to, isn’t it? Instead they give us the current one. And I’m not convinced they even realize what they’ve done – they are that much out of touch with reality.

Have a good time, but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above.
Will I see you in September…?
Rest in Peace
I am old enough to remember how ugly our highways were before Lady Bird Johnson began her long campaign to plant wildflowers all over the country. We can’t thank her enough for her contributions to our environment.
Here is the online version of the PBS biography “Lady Bird”, on her life and times.
UPDATE: See also Rick Pearlstein’s tribute to Lady Bird as a great and aggressive liberal force.
I loved her. They’ll tell you about the wildflowers and the crusade against unsightly billboards. They won’t tell you about what a great liberal she was, what a brave warrior against racism she was – that she risked her life for these principles.
Then he talks about her work in the South, which in Lyndon Johnson’s day was defending its racist legacy vigorously and even violently. It’s a good read.
