I think there aren't nearly enough of these kinds of these fundraisers.
Dick Cheney is throwing his wild popularity around indicted Congressman Tom DeLay by giving photo ops for cash. I know this is bad for someone, but I'm not sure which of the evil princes will lose on this deal.

Obama Calls for Troop Reduction in Iraq - Yahoo! News
Sen. Barack Obama says he still believes that a military approach is still the answer, but called for a limited troop reduction. I'm pretty sure no one has suggested that the last soldier ought to be out of Iraq by the end of the week. Two things do need to happen right away that would get more respect for the President: 1) explicitly define a realitic success to our efforts in Iraq; and 2) begin the process of a military exit.
It may not happen on Bush's watch, but a US President needs to bolster our intelligence machine and develop tachtics and technologies that provide plenty of alternatives to aggression on the ground.

Not so fast! Judge Delays Delay's Ruling
Hey Judge, can you drop the charges so I can be House Majority Leader again? Please? "Oh, sorry, you forgot to phrase your response in a form that loosely resembled an intelligent question". C'mon, the guy wheels & deal to get 190 large out of corporate America to fund his Texas GOP cronies' campaigns. He's not only accused, as his attorney would have you believe, he's indicted. For the uninclined, that means a judge found enough actual evidence against you to stand trial. So, what do you say we have an up or down vote on it in an actual trial?

Promote locally owned
Whenever business owners manage businesses or units or subsidiaries outside their hometown, those businesses should be aggressively regulated and taxed.
I Vant to Drink Your Vatts - New York Times
Back in the old days, when you turned off an appliance, it was really off and it drew no power. The emergence of our hi-tech society and the development of microchip technology, Congress had a meeting this week to address new consumption (and labeling) standards for these energy suckers, not the least of which is that small black box that hangs on an electrical outlet, often called "wall warts".

Bill Writes a Memo
AJAX is asynchronous Javascript and XML, which enables web based applications such as web based email and word processing via the web, a technology often referred to as "Web 2.0". It was developed in 1998 by Microsoft and largely not exploited -- until now. Hence Bill's Memo. Almost a decade after it's development, Microsoft is a late adopter of its own technology, they call "Microsoft Live", as NetSuite and Salesforce.com emerge with their "software as a service" models.

RAB CEO Battle Cry: ROI over CPM; Use New Media More
My day job is coodinating new media products for listeners of seven midwest radio stations, then developing marketing partnerships to support those products.
As a matter of necessity, I pay close attention to industry analysts, listeners, web visitors and my customers.
When Gary Fries, the president/CEO of our industry's trade organization, says we need to move faster toward digital advancements, he does so after a quarter century of pressure by all segments to get with the ages.
Electronic invoicing and audience measuring tools are desperately needed, and all of the individual elements need to speak the same language. Gone, or soon to be, are some of the most antiquated systems for quantifying the value of broadcast and new media to advertisers and their agencies. Instead of simply showing how many people are being reached, we need to demonstrate with a good level of accuracy a genuine return on marketing investments.
I have always believed my industry has been 15 to 20 years behind the digital curve. While it's getting better in the midst of consolidation, much of the local leadership needs to be open for more rapid change.
We are leaving behind a century of blind arrogance and our sites are set on digital agility & accountability. Who's staying & who's coming with us?
