The Young Turks

These guys have been around for awhile, on Air America, XM radio, but I just discovered them today, and they're great, mainly of course Cenk Uyger. I couldn't stop watching the online show. It's a liberal political show but with an irreverent bent, particularly when it gets around to entertainment and personal stuff. Glenn Greenwald's post today referred to the funny video which I posted two posts ago. Like I wrote, Cenk Uyger was RIGHT ON in his analysis of the mainstream media.

The Young Turks

I'm watching/listening to Cenk now.

It's good enough that I've added a link to them in the right panel.

Slumdog Millionaire - Trailer

Maybe a bit of melodrama to it, but I still want to see this movie. By the director of Trainspotting, Danny Boyle.

How the Mainstream Media Actually Works

Pretty funny and RIGHT ON analysis of the mainstream media.

Brief report on Obama contributors

A short article here in the NY Times about Obama contributors. Turns out the donors may not have been as small as thought. Those $200 contributors were repeat contributors (like me, but just 2 contribs to Obama). Also, though, the percentage of large contributors was not as high as in McCain's or other campaigns.

Something to think about this Thanksgiving

An article here a few years ago in the NY Times (h/t Kos, like I know him, hee hee). I'll feel guilty.
