DFA Endorsements

The 2006 election season is upon us!  In keeping with Democracy For America’s goal of supporting fiscally responsible, socially progressive candidates at all levels of government, Asheville DFA is pleased to announce the following candidate endorsements:
  • Van Duncan, Democratic candidate for Sheriff of Buncombe County. 
  • Susan Fisher, Democratic candidate for North Carolina House of Representatives, District 114.
  • Doug Jones, Democratic candidate for North Carolina House of  Representatives, District 116.

Now the fun part begins!  We all want better democracy for America, right?  Well, let’s get busy and do some work for candidates who are going to help us on that path to better democracy.  Starting September 6th and continuing until the elections, Asheville DFA will be busy getting these candidates elected.  It’ll be some hard work, but as anyone who worked on Asheville DFA’s campaigns for city council candidates last year can tell you, it’s also pretty fun.  And it’s awfully satisfying to help good people like Van, Susan and Doug get elected.  So come out to Asheville DFA’s next meeting, 7:00PM Wedensay, September 6th at the West Asheville Library, roll up your sleeves, and let’s get to work!

What the Fuss?

Stevie Wonder is my favorite musician of all-time.  If I knew that I was gong to leave on an island and I could take all of the music that I could carry.  I would have Stevie Wonder and Sting.  This is his first release off of his new album.  I love it.

Katrina - rewind

Crooks and Liars is re-posting some of the stuff that he originally posted a year ago.  Here’s some links - here and here

I’m sure more re-posts are coming.  I’ll update this as I find them.

Olbermann’s new book

olbermanns-bookcover Olbermanns new bookKeith Olbermann since joining MSNBC has been a consistent intelligent voice for reason.  He has presented a thoughtful alternative to the neo-cons echo chamber. 

I wonder how many times Ann Coulter will be listed.  Maybe she has her own section of the book which may include 3 or 4 chapters.  Then again, he would need at least the same amount of space for Rush and O’Reilly. 

His new book is set to be released sometime this month.  I just ordered my copy.  I look forward to reading it.  I will be mentioning it on my radio show.
