I host a daily public affairs radio show in San Francisco called Your Call. It airs from 11 am - noon PST on KALW 91.7 FM. I am also happy to report that I recently got a book deal with PoliPoint Press to write about my road trip through the heartland and the interviews I did with people about why they vote the way they do (or not). It's scheduled to be out in September.

I'm currently writing a book about my recent six-month road trip to the so-called "red states." I also report for KALW 91.7 FM in San Francisco, AlterNet and Bay Area BusinessWoman.

From National Review:
"If on the day after the 2006 election someone had told you that a few months into 2007 we would be increasing troop levels in Iraq and committing to a somewhat more aggressive strategy with a somewhat more aggressive commander, and would be set to enact a 2007 budget that largely stuck to 06 spending levels with a few adjustments and no earmarks, wouldn’t you have thought he was crazy?"
And by the way...EVERY ONE of the Democrats voted for the confirmation that more aggressive commander.
I gotta admit, I'm more than a little amazed.
Media suckage is everywhere. Check out this piece by Michael Yon from Iraq:
"In the retelling of terrorist attacks in Iraq, key details are often left out while others insinuate themselves into places they don’t belong. So it was for the thwarted bomb attack in this village, which quickly found its way into media reports, described as yet another incident of sectarian violence, which on some level it was."

The system SUCKS. How will we explain this to our grandchildren?
I just read an article about the Democrats and Iran. Word on the street is they'll be too afraid of standing up to Booosh on Iran. Same shit, different war.
Even Kos is ripping the Senate Dems. Maybe the rest of the media will start being a little more critical of them, but I sorta doubt it.
After all, if the media isn't willing to criticize the Dems for defunding AIDS programs that reduce the number if infants born with AIDS I hardly think they'll get to disturbed about the Dems inaction on the war.
Anyone else hear about this?
