I was surfing the net and Atrios pointed me to DFA-List Candidate Mark Pera's first TV ad. Remember Mark Pera?

Mark Pera is the progressive in the primary. Congressman Dan Lipinski is out of touch with his district. He can't stop himself from voting with the Bush party line to prevent life-saving stem cell research or give oil companies even higher profits. He's even voted five times to keep funding Bush's war and supports keeping troops in Iraq beyond 2010.

Here's the first ad:

Keep your eyes on this race - because if we're interested in ending the war, primaries matter!

As a humble blogger here, I appreciate our discussions about how to progress politics. But when the right wing begs for our SF bureau to get blown up, it doesn't help the discourse.

NYC Drinking Liberally made it on The Daily Show and it featured Democracy for New York City members Tracy Denton and Heather Woodfield on air -talking and drinking…

CAUTION: It gets a bit raunchy in some places!

I have to admit, I look forward to lazy Saturday mornings, a cup of coffee and following a link from Atrios to Jamison Foser's latest "Media Matters" column. Today's column goes after San Francisco Chronicle reporter Carla Marinucci. Goes after her hard.

If you check out the Quick Hits Section on the front page, you'll see one QH about Joe Klein and Jane Harman, and another about Atrios declaring himself the wanker of the day.  All very good, but what does that mean? Well, it's the case that truly illustrates that, well, dday was right:  Jane Harman has changed over the past year and a half or so. And for that, we owe a debt of gratitude to Marcy Winograd.

So, um, what is all this insider jibberish? Flip it!
