Hey! Hope your weekend is going well. It's been a while since I posted on the blog so there are a few things that I've been needing to post here.
First some quasi good news. In mid September St. Paul,MN police dropped charges against Democracy Now journalists arrested covering protests of the RNC convention. Unfortunately it's uncertain whether there wil be an investigation and there have been some reports that in both Denver and St. Paul the cities asked for insurance coverage in order to hold the conventions. GIven all the hoopla about the upcoming election, this has gained little coverage.
Elsewhere, crowd response at the McCain/Palin rallies have taken a very scary, ugly, and even racist turn as we near the election. At a time when conservatives have harped about how racism doesn't exist when it suits them, this tells a different story. Between this and the use of Obama's middle name, desperation is setting in for the GOP.
Also, if John McCain claims former Weather Underground leader BIll Ayres is all washed up and he doesn't care about him, why does he keep bringing Ayres up?
That's it for now. Stay tuned for another post in the hopefully very near future.

I think I can help answer that one.
Bill Ayres is not himself a significant national figure.
The accusations against Obama do not address the issues of the moment, but they do speak to the more lasting issue of Presidential character.
