A Recommended Read
I haven't read Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom yet, but Cory Doctorow, who also brings us Boing Boing, is giving away his first novel. It's getting great reviews, including a plug from Amazon.com founder and CEO Jeff Bezos on the NPR : Weekend Edition Sunday, Summer Reading 2003 list.

Track PACs and Contracts
Correspondences.org has a great concept on its hands - a daily look at Department of Defense contracts awarded, cross-referenced with political contributions made by the winning companies.
The site bills itself as a "newspaper out of the box" covering world events. Highly recommended.

Tell Bush to recall himself
Interesting logic behind this one, and I like it. Bush's sins are far greater than those of Gray Davis. I hope this one catches on.
Brought to you by one of my other favorite sites the Bushwackers, as well as Progressive Majority.

Thanks to SC Hotline for tracking down the original Roll Call article where Kevin Geddings again proves to be an ass:
Roll Call
Tenenbaum outpolled Geddings's candidate for governor by more than 120,000 votes. She got 45,000 more votes than Lindsay Graham in his Senate race. Granted, she was up against weak competition. But, going back to 1998, she outpolled Hodges by 37,000 votes and beat a decent Republican candidate, David Eckstrom, by 161,000 votes. She even beat Eckstrom in his home county, Lexington (you remember Lexington, don't you), albeit by a little over 200 votes.

From the Guys Who Brought Us The Disaster of '04
"Keep your noses out of our business," Dick Harpootlian was quoted as saying to DSCC in an interview with Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper. He told The Greenville News: "These are the guys who brought us the disaster of '02."
Interesting that this story was ginned up by Dick and Kevin Geddings, who closer to home brought South Carolina the disaster of '04.
I love Mayor Bob - but he ain't going to get elected statewide. Personally, I'm glad to see a primary. I think our eventual candidate Inez will emerge stronger because of it. But Geddings is the guy who ought to get out of South Carolina after his last masterful performance.
