I tried to post this last night but for whatever reason it didn't stick so let's try again...

I know some folks who are in this political organization. It's a fairly progressive group. They pride themselves on grassroots organizing. It is a local chapter of a national group. They are unofficially supporting (though by next year it will be official) a candidate for a federal office. To get a groundswell of support...grassroots support...the candidate's staff has instructed this group how to sign up, log in and vote daily for the candidate's diary on DailyKos.

It's not dirty or illegal. But it's not really all that "grassroots". I'm just saying. Pick, pick, pick.

So, I have a lot to post on so I guess I'll just give you some quick links:

*Oh my, Senator Clintonbagger!

*How to be a falafel AND a tool at the same time!

*Holy Crap! I've had this idea for years! And now it's come true! A high school text book version of The People's History of the United States. Get this for every teenager you know!
