Our town's Democratic Committee is working on its campaign for the fall elections, and I registered a domain name with Google Sites to host a web site for us. (I also got a Twitter feed, a Facebook page, and a Blogspot blog to use as well.) I've spoken to the more veteran members of the committee about how we can use these various tools to disseminate our message and keep people informed about both our candidates and the problems that they plan to address when in office.

The only problem that I'm seeing is in designing the site. While I've done some programming (client-side and server-side), I don't have any kind of artistic eye for creating an appealing page. I can recognize good and bad designs, but have never felt comfortable in creating my own.

Anyone out there have any recommendations for a (hopefully public domain) page layout/design that I could legally use for this task?

So, I'm sitting here waiting for my Jets to ruin my Sunday again, and James Brown tells me that their next guest is none other than Frank Luntz. Luntz then spends the next several minutes analyzing coaches' press conferences and showing reactions of fans with on-screen graphics. WTF is up with this?

Way back on 8/09, I signed up in wikoogle's diary to record and post the sponsors of Glenn Beck and Hannity for the upcoming week. Well, due to the fact that I set my season passes to record only new episodes (which apparently don't get flagged for Fox News programs), no episodes were recorded all week. And last week was shot since I was pulled into a full-time volunteer project. So, here is the list of sponsors for the recorded shows on my Tivo (DirecTV service, New York metro area).

I am not saddened by the passing of Tim Russert, as I made known in the first diary announcing the news. (If you have TU status, you can see my comments, and maybe even help to ban me for being uncouth.) I did not wish him dead, but I do not mourn the loss of someone who gave much aid and comfort to the Bush administration over the past several years. As a reminder of what the world has lost, please consider the following:

CNN is apparently selling t-shirts with headlines from its web site on them, such as this. Odd, but I guess they can try to make a buck like anyone else, right.

I just sat down at my laptop and see a whole bunch of references to Eliot Spitzer and some kind of 'scandal'. I'm sure I'd have gotten to the bottom of this sooner, but I was out golfing with Mark Foley, David Vitter, and Don Sherwood. I wasn't planning to go at all, but they called me in at the last second when Larry Craig wouldn't come out of the locker room and Clarence Thomas was in some heated discussion at the clubhouse bar.

I've been stuck for the past two months on the graveyard shift, and end my work day listening to the 'Boomer and Carton' show on WFAN, formerly the home of wrinkled racist Don Imus. The co-host Boomer Esiason is a former NFL quarterback and current analyst/broadcaster who projects a mostly positive attitude, but he's got an Achilles heel: anyone who isn't a wingnut. A week or so ago, when someone mentioned that George Clooney was their favorite actor, he asked "Nothing bothers you about him? Questionable politics, maybe?" And this morning, when his co-host mentioned that Alex Rodriguez was recently talking with Warren Buffett, Boomer grumbled about Buffett's desire to "raise my taxes".

He never goes too far with these statements, because he is apparently smart enough to know that nobody cares what an average ex-jock has to say about politics. But it's sad to see that a guy whom I used to be a fan of (Jets!) is just another mouth-breathing wingnut.

I've been a bit giddy this morning. It started with too much caffeine to get through the graveyard shift, and it ratcheted up with Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize. But it totally bubbled over when I read Paul Krugman's latest column in the no-longer-gated NY Times.

Thomas Friedman is a dangerous man. His words are read by people in newspapers across the country, and heard by many more when he appears on 24/7 "news" channels as some kind of expert (on what, I do not know). What I don't understand is why he is taken seriously, given how wrong he has been.

I JUST got off the phone with a reporter from the Times Herald-Record, who was following up on a tip I phoned in about the Kelly robo-calling. He says I was far from the only one, and that a story might make the paper tomorrow.

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE ON THE MEDIA. THIS STORY IS FOR REAL AND IT HAS LEGS.
