PLCPD Cries Foul Over ‘Malicious Attacks’ Vs Repro Health Bill October 1, 2008, 12:15 PM “PLCPD is a legitimate NGO made up of members of Congress. We are advocating for the RH bill solely for the improvement of women’s health and to uphold freedom of informed choice,” Ramon San Pascual, Executive Director PLCPD, clarified. “That is all there is to it. There is no hidden agenda behind this campaign.”

So the McCain campaign has decided that the only place where Sarah Palin might be safe to answer questions, if John McCain is not available to chaperone, is conservative talk radio. This way she can avoid irksome questions by known meanies such as the fearsome Katie Couric. First up to “grill” Palin from the right was Hugh Hewitt who asked such tough questions as: Now Governor, the Gibson and the Couric interview struck many as sort of pop quizzes designed to embarrass you as opposed to inter

Over at the Campaign for America’s Future I’ve posted a draft of a memo that I’ve been asked to write by a number of folks – it looks at progressives’ No BAILOUT Bill, and the strategies our movement should adopt moving forward. I’ll post it here at OpenLeft tomorrow when I polish it and put the finishing touches on it, but considering this debate is moving so fast, I figured it couldn’t hurt to put up a draft right now. Bottom line: The No BAILOUT Bill isn’t perfect, but it is better than the

Cross posted from Future Majority – a blog about progressive youth politics. I thought I’d weigh-in on a public battle between B. Lee Drake of the College Democrats and the College Republican National Committee. Last week, Drake posted an op-ed accusing the CRNC of being nothing more than an ineffectual slush fund for the Republican Party: I don’t know about you, but there is a poverty hidden by the seven-figure sums of the CNR budget. Look around you on campus today, and you see students re

Communicating with your Clients and Prospects Most people talk about different things with different people. With one friend the conversation might usually focus on relationships, while with another, perhaps talk turns more naturally to movies, books, sports or politics. You would be unlikely to appeal to your relationship-discussing friend if you were to engage in a monologue about your opinion of our current political leaders. However, if you started in with that same screed to your politics-l

Whomever you support, you should vote if you are eligible to do so. The Obama campaign sent a URL that I found very helpful. It can get you registered, but even if you have registered, it allows you to check whether you are still properly registered. I know that every year around this time, I wonder whether my registration is properly set. And tonight, there was a news report that many people have been dumped from the voting rolls. So, here is the link. You can use it just as well no matter

Perhaps taking a cue from Dunkin Donuts, who in many locations have teamed up with Baskin Robbins, Krispy Kreme recently announced that they will be adding ice cream to their menu. Another part of the company’s new business plan is to open smaller-sized stores, and expand its overseas marketshare. These changes are in response to three years of floundering sales.

Could they possibly be willing to sacrifice their credibility completely for ideology? The “they” in this case is big media outlets like CBS, ABC, NBC, the NY Times, the Washington Post, etc.  There was an “anonymous” email sent to Glenn Reynolds (note: Mr. Reynolds knows who it is, but the author of the email asked for anonymity if it was published) says that major media is “in the tank for O.”A READER AT A MAJOR NEWSROOM EMAILS: “Off the record, every suspicion you have about MSM being in the
