Request for Help

Folks, PA Victory 04, the Pennsylvania campaign site for Kerry/Edwards, needs your links so that people kind find it in Google.

It needs more than that if you can: volunteer! There is little time left before the election.

They will ask you about your skills and time availability. There is plenty to do but they are flexible.

But at least link to it and let people know it exists.

Pretty, pretty please 🙂

Disclaimer: They’ve made me its Director of Internet Outreach.

So common folks!

A Bed of Tragedies

The cause of death of the 5-month-old boy remains a mystery to his family.

But the tragedy shouldn’t be a surprise to some city officials.

Because 43 babies have died in our city in the last 17 months while sleeping with other people.

And, unfathomable as it sounds, at least two city agencies knew about the disturbing trend and failed to bring it to public attention.

It’s Worse Than You Think

cite="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5973272/site/newsweek/">For U.S.
troops in Iraq, one especially sore point is the stateside public’s
obsession with the candidates’ decades-old military service. “Stop
talking about Vietnam,” says one U.S. official who has spent time in
the Sunni Triangle. “People should be debating this war, not that
one.” His point was not that America ought to walk away from Iraq.
Hardly any U.S. personnel would call that a sane suggestion. But
there’s widespread agreement that Washington needs to rethink its
objectives, and quickly. “We’re dealing with a population that hovers
between bare tolerance and outright hostility,” says a senior U.S.
diplomat in Baghdad. “This idea of a functioning democracy here is
crazy. We thought that there would be a reprieve after sovereignty,
but all hell is breaking loose.
