After seeing the Katie Couric interview, I couldn't just wait until the vice presidential debate to hear more from Sarah Palin. So, I wrote a website where you can ask Sarah Palin any question you'd like.

QUESTION: What is your stance on the 700 billion dollar bailout proposed by the Bush administration?

But what Abraham Lincoln had said, and that's how jobs are created. And that's a healthy thing. That means my perspective is fresher, more in touch with the little ones... the big kids help out so much with the right reason is to defend one another in a volatile world, relying on foreign sources of energy is the group that can be contributing to the facts and the commercial fishing. And I've chosen to do with a science teacher as a governor to request and to join a teammate here — John McCain too, his track record, proving that he has embraced the ideal of the nation's not going to do nothing at all. But no, the Pakistani people also, they want freedom. They want to start a war or any other ... the wisdom that comes from having my first born, my son, my teenage son overseas with his Stryker brigade, what his job will be ready. I'm ready.

There's more...

I'd been very confused recently by some of the recommended diaries and their associated comments. They seemed to be using English, but I had a hard time understanding much of what they were saying. After careful examination, I've found that many diarists and commenters here have started using some sort of DailyKos newspeak. As a service to other kossacks who haven't yet picked up on this new, clearly superior way of speaking, I've put together a small dictionary of words and phrases that I've been able to translate so far. The newspeak is in italics (below the fold): Read More

Violent videogames are one of the favorite bugaboos of conservative Republicans and a few censor-happy Democrats like Joe Lieberman. Lawmakers in Michigan have begun to move on a bill that would provide criminal penalties for anyone who sells M-rated games to minors.

State Senator Hansen Clarke (D-Detroit) recently sponsored the bill, which has recieved the backing of Governor Jennifer Granholm (D). This Detroit Free Press article has more details.

Most polling agencies will let anyone pay them to conduct a poll on whatever subject you want. The blogosphere could commission a poll or polls on various subjects of interest to the community from somebody like Zogby or Harris or Democracy Corps, assuming folks are willing to donate the money to do that.

Who is interested and what questions would you be interested in asking? Read More

A lot of Kossacks have written diaries about why we lost, how to re-frame issues, what candidates we should line up for 2006, how to fix voting machines, etc. etc. If we're gonna get anything done, we've got to get organized and we'll need a system. Consider this diary entry meta-brainstorming.

I've created a new Dkosopedia entry to provide the seeds for the organizational structure I'm proposing. The idea is to provide a central hierarchy for brainstorming on issues, deciding on a course of action, and coordinating those actions with the people on the ground in the places where it matters.

If you gave a challenger a hard time - don't get too excited if you don't know for sure who they were with. It could have been me! Please read my story below. Read More

An article in today's Detroit Free Press has some good looking stats on registrations and expected turnout in Detroit, the suburbs and elsewhere in Michigan. Based on increased registration, enthusiasm and absentee ballot numbers, elections clerks in the Detroit vicinity are predicting a turnout as high as 80% of registered voters. As usual, the Republicans are being much more pessimistic. Read More

I've been impressed with the recent volume and effectiveness of the blogosphere when it comes to righting wrongs (or lefting them, as the case may be), but I've grown increasingly concerned that a few bad apples are not keeping within reasonable bounds. This controversial article in particular made me want to say something. Read More
