And Mike's Blog Roundup has a lot of good journamalism links. It's about time: the WSJ says Obama is going to campaign against McCain. He should have been doing it all along - if he had, I would have felt a lot better about him. I'm sick of excuses that he has to campaign against Clinton because she's campaigning against him. If he'd been campaigning against the Republicans instead

How The War On Drugs Takes Horticultural Hostages
http://www.openleft.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=5656And our proposed solution to this problem is to carpet-bomb Afghanistan with an herbicide called glyphosate, aka Roundup, a Monsanto-manufactured weed killer. Ah, the military-industrial complex-is there any world crisis that Monsanto can't solve? John McCain's all in favor of using Roundup to rein in the poppy posse, but the locals look darkly on the prospect of being under a cloud of chemicals. American officials insist that glyphosate is "one of the world's safest herbicides," according to the New York Times

John McCain’s Penchant for Skirting Campaign Finance Laws

Donors were apparently not limited by the $2,300 cap on individuals and could give tens of thousands of their own cash thanks to McCain’s Victory Committee created specifically to get around donation limits.

And I don’t expect a large number of her supporters to suddenly jump off the train and sign right up with Obama’s effort, because commitment to a candidate relative to their competitors can’t just be turned off like that. But Obama needs to begin the fall campaign now, free of defending himself from daily attacks by Clinton, and there are signs that his team will move away from the remainder of the primary schedule towards campaigning in general election battlegrounds, to

Hillary, It's Time To Leave
http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/012489.phpBush ass-kissing sack of shit. If you vote for the sack of shit out of rage at how Obama won this thing over Clinton, we are all screwed. We cannot endure another four years of disaster capitalist elites running this country into the ground, aided by a Supreme Court full of corporatists. If you are a Clinton supporter, please leave your disappointment behind as you enter the voting booth in November. Your opponent is not Barack Obama, but rather the bastards across the aisle that got us here.
