I’m not one to give much advice to the other party, but at the end of the day we all benefit from a productive discourse and honestly I feel a little bad for just how screwed up their party is right now. The Republican party is dying it seems. I remember when Howard Dean was laughed out of town after Iowa in the 2004 election. He ended up coming back and saving the Democratic Party leading it to multiple waves of victory with his 50 State Strategy. I don’t see Ron Paul doing that for the GOP but I do think he capable of pulling off a true revolt within their party.

Dear republicans, Ron Paul is your Obi Wan – your only hope.

This is NOT photoshopped. The man actually made this zombie face in the final moments of the most important televised appearance of his political life. He is a Maverick! What if he’d performed the thriller routine? John McCain, you won’t get my vote but you’re invited to any future BBQ I have. Just leave Keating at home, he’s creepy. And tell Sarah, no moose. It’s hell to clean up the grill afterwards.

Protest, Art, or just wrong? I don’t know who is more stupid, McCain’s people for not doing background check on political leanings of photo journalists or Jill for putting herself in a position to possibly get sued or worse.

Just saw this over at Joe Trippi’s blog,

If you haven’t already heard, a big win came over the weekend in the form of Franking Reform that will open the doors to allow Congress to log on and communicate over the web with their constituents and anyone else out in the cloud. One of the main advocates for the reform, the Sunlight Foundation has been pushing the issue through their Let Our Congress Tweet campaign and Open House Project, collecting hundreds of “signatures” in the first Twitter-based petition to take to lawmakers.

Thanks to the Sunlight Foundation, Congress can now use social media. This is a game changer. Very cool!
