Today's Column from Bob Herbert. Troubling, but worth reading:

Joblessness is like a cancer in the society. The last thing in the world that you want is for it to metastasize. And that's what's happening now.

As we ignore traditional news media more and more and go online for “news,” we become our own editors. Heaven help us.

Great insight from Kristof today about the way we think and interact with others in regards to our beliefs and ideas!

Excellent article about Obamanomics: History shows that the president's tax plans are consistent with strong economic growth.

Larry Lessig, the Net’s most celebrated lawyer, cites John Philip Sousa, celestial copyrights and the "ASCAP cartel" in his argument for reviving our creative culture. Stanford professor Lessig is one of our foremost authorities on © issues, with a vision for reconciling creative freedom w/ marketplace competition.

Description from the Site:

Have you already made your own Obamicon?
Let me make yours into a pendant!
Wear it yourself or make for a friend or loved one.

If you still need to make an Obamicon, here is the link:
http://obamiconme.pastemagazine.com/

Create the Obamicon you want and then send me the image. I will put it into a bottle cap pendant.

I will contact you re: the type, color of bottle cap. I prefer to use recycled and will let you have choices so it is appropriate for the wearer.

I will also add a 16" black leather cord with magnetic clasp for and additional $2.00

Convo me if you would like additional silver accent beads (you can see different listings in my shop).

Please allow 1 week to create as the resin needs to harden adequately before it can be shipped.

*A Twitter friend Noetical, made me my Obamican! So cool! I knew it would make a great pendant.* I made her one as a Thank you and it is the last 2 photos in the listing.

I use Easy Cast clear cast epoxy, which should not be worn in the shower or Jacuzzi.

Items will be shipped in a bubble mailer.

EVERYONE SHOULD CHECK THIS OUT!

Barack Obama favors redistributing wealth. So does John McCain.

Interesting article about spreading the wealth.

CNN's Abbie Boudreau looks into allegations of voter suppression and "purges."

Check it out!

OMFG: You HAVE to watch this! It's pretty crazy.

I find it amazing how often the McCain/Palin campaign has taken recently to discounting areas of the country that are polling favorable to Obama as not "real." This is a clip of a McCain campaign operative saying that the Obama strongholds in Virginia aren't a part of "real Virginia." I'm voting for Obama and I'm a real American!
