DailyKos seems to be off-line.
Did I miss some announcement of scheduled maintenance? Is it a DOS attack by right-wing geeks? Anyone know? Comments >> (24 comments) by d52boy
Amy Goodman and her crew at Democracy Now! (www.democracynow.org) who produce the best alternative news coverage I know of, are seeking donations in cash or kind that will help them acquire needed equipment: video cameras and flat-screen monitors.
There's an ad about the video cameras on their web site, and Amy mentioned the need for monitors at the very end of her Wednesday broadcast (which I only now have listened to via podcast). If any of you can help, please email them at mail@democracy.org, or go via the website. These are great people, doing fabulous and important work. Please support them if you can.

Let's take the latest reports about how US interrogators and guards have been treating the Koran, and see how various news outlets are presenting them.

The booman's readership seems pretty diverse, so I'm wondering: what's your favourite non-U.S. political blog?
My personal preference is for a truly interactive format, like this one, rather than just a single voice with comments from readers. But you tell me: any good political blogs out there in the U.K.? France? (Those are my two languages.) Canada? Germany? Spain? Italy? Elsewhere? Comments >> (12 comments) by d52boy
I'm wondering what others here think about the latest Volcker report. Does the report vindicate Kofi Annan, or does it really mean, "We think he's guilty, but we can't prove it"?
What about the press coverage? Is the U.S. media reflecting the right wing's determination to get rid of Annan, and spinning the news to be as negative for him as possible? What's really going on here?... Read more... (7 comments, 387 words in story) |
