Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

If Larry Lessig is radical and out of the mainstream, I don't want to be "in touch" with America.

Thank you.

I have been listening to Meet the Press this week. Dr Dyson -- for whom I have the greatest respect -- and I have been listening to Andrew Young on Russert, for whom I have very little respect. (And frankly, if Andrew Young thinks Condi is doing a great job, he is either an idiot, or a hypocrite. I prefer to think of him as the former.)

This makes me sad:

With lots of mixed feelings, I have decided a run for Congress would not help the Change Congress movement. I explain the thinking in this 5 minute video (a new record for me!). First question: What happens to the contributions to Lessig08? As explained on the ActBlue page, all will go to (the yet to be established) Change Congress organization.

So, frequent readers of this space likely will notice a shortage of political discussion this year, especially relative to the lead up to the 2004 election. The simple version of this is Charlie and I have not been in agreement on candidates and differ on a few issues. Since there isn't a "Site" view, I haven't spoken on behalf of the royal we on a number of things. However, there is a bunch of crap this week that I want to comment on.

First up: Cult of Obama

First, my sincere sympathy to anyone who was affected by the recent spat of storms across the southern US. I would never belittle such a tradgedy.
