My friend Sarah Brown put a video to encourage people to vote.  It was made in Asheville with the production help of D Smith.

Way to go Sarah and D!

On a similar vein, check out the preview for “A Call to Action” which Bourne Media edited in the summer of 2007.

We will see a huge voter turnout from the American youth in this election, and it will make a difference.

Since this is the third Palin video I have posted, I am officially striking out. Maybe if we ignore her, she will go away.

Sarah Silverman aims to have Jewish grandchildren visit their grandparents in Florida, educate them about Obama. OY!

Watch out for some strong language here and there.

Here is another take on this theme from Bob Herbert of the New York Times.

If you are like me, you have little idea how this financial crisis started and you have even less of an idea of how we can get out of it.

Well, here is a good start. Bill Moyers interviews Kevin Philips, who pretty well predicted this would happen. You can watch the video or listen to the audio file.

From the PBS site.

Bill Moyers sits down with former Nixon White House strategist and political and economic critic Kevin Phillips, whose latest book BAD MONEY: RECKLESS FINANCE, FAILED POLITICS, AND THE GLOBAL CRISIS OF AMERICAN CAPITALISM explores the role that the crumbling financial sector played in the now-fragile American economy.

I once met a woman from Alaska who hunted bears…with a bow and arrow…and she’s deaf. This a a Alaskan hunter who deserves my respect.

Sarah Palin, on the other hand, has dedicated hundreds of thousands of Alaskan dollars to promote hunting from planes.

Unless these wolves (and bears) are eating kindergartners, this shooting from planes seems pretty sick.

FactCheck.org does a decent job exploring some details on this issue. After that was published, Defenders of Wildlife wrote them a letter which does an excellent job of further explaining the issue. You can find that letter on the FactCheck page or get it directly at this link.
