As someone who experienced (thankfully only mild forms of) religious oppression, this visual caught my eye. I got it from here.

It is good to share an antidote. Sen. Al Franken's staff dressed up to urge voters to reject the marriage protection amendment in Minnesota.

The American economy is (or was in 2006) about $13 trillion. But various investment companies made a $45 trillion bet that the housing bubble would pop. When it did, it is no wonder that so many insurance and financial companies went bust. Rob Tisinai created a 14 minute video to explain the financial meltdown from a few years ago (and is still a big part of this election season). He posted it to his blog with links to his sources if you want more info.

Tisinai posted a link to Box Turtle Bulletin. A commenter responded "You're wrong!" and provided a link. Another commenter replied, yup, a right-wing site.




Niall Ferguson, Newsweek's conservative columnist, thinks Obama will have an "October surprise" by announcing some kind of deal with Iran over uranium refinement, or giving Israel permission to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. (I'm linking, but I don't recommend you read it).

I think there has already been an October surprise. It wasn't named Iran, but Sandy. It is causing Romney to show his colors.
