Salon just released the most hilarious cartoon. And, if I may say, its totally on the mark.

I just read over at Daily Kos that Al Gore has made a call for people to share their questions and opinions on issues that matter to them in the 2008 presidential race. That’s a pretty thinly veiled move toward announcing candidacy. Very interesting.

Rudy Giuliani went to see the Yankee’s play this past Monday, in Yankee Stadium. During the game his picture was shown on the jumbotron a couple of times. The first time it was shown the crowd had a reaction, but no one could tell if they were chanting “Rudy, Rudy” or booing. The second time his image was shown was in the middle of Ronan Tynan singing “God Bless America.” The crowd made it very clear that they were not cheering for Giuliani, they were booing. No major papers that I can find have picked up the story, though MSNBC did report it on the air.
That’s gotta hurt. In your own city, at a sporting event. Over at Daily Kos Davefromqueens wrote an essay explaining why he believes Rudy was booed. He makes some good points along the way, and he’s giving a message that resonates with many. Rudy, are you getting the message? Your 9/11 hero rhetoric isn’t selling anymore.

Someone over at Democracy Means You published an open letter to Dubya suggesting that the liberal state would like to secede from the union. Though its a few years old, I hadn’t seen it before. Its a bit biting, a bit fun, and liberal to the core.

Last month president Bush expanded the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. It was a fast modification to account for advances in technology. Today Bush announced that national security professionals are dependent on these laws to be effective in their jobs.
When the Protect America Act, as its called, was passed Congress set it to expire in six months so that it could be fine tuned. In his announcement Bush said “Without these tools, our country will be much more vulnerable to attack,” and “The threat from al Qaida is not going to expire in 135 days, so I call on Congress to make the Protect America Act permanent.”

The Washington Post published an interesting article on Wikipedia’s role in providing information on candidates. Apparently Wiki users are arguing over things like whether Sen. McCain is a liberal or conservative, Sen. Clinton’s record as First Lady, whether Sen. Thompson’s first name should be reported as Fred or Freddy, and more.
As an online encyclopedia where users themselves are the editors (”wiki” stands for What I Know Is), there’s bound to be plenty of disputes. Its value in research is dependent upon the validity of the information. Biased authors submitting content which serves their purpose limits the usefulness. It just makes sense that more popular content will spark debate. Its a pretty interesting comment regarding online culture, really.
