Oliver Willis has a branding campaign for the Democrats underway at his blog. Here's a sample: Go, Oliver. [EdCone.com] 1:00:11 PM  comment []  Trackback []     On a stupid scale from 1 to 10, these hearings must be a hundred or so...where on earth did they get these "experts" - and what matchbook cover did they fill out to get their degrees? Reader-Submitted: Are You an Internet Porn Addict? Congress to Your Rescue!. So you thought watching nekkid people on the Internet is merely wasting your time.

What's to become of the Democratic party? This is much-discussed in the US too. Why worry? The diversity in the country won't go away just because the Democrats can't nominate a winner.

First we should decide what our issues are, then we should go shopping for representatives to represent us. See the connection? Represent. We end up voting for minor, almost irrelevant differences, and as a result, no representation, and our country can't make positive change. I don't believe the red-staters are bad or stupid. I think they're stuck in the same mess the rest of us are. [Scripting News] 12:56:55 PM  comment []  Trackback []
