DNC Compiles Clips of Bush's Facial Expressions
They say
the sigh killed Al Gore in the presidential debate 4 years ago.
This year, we are making much of Bush's seeming irritability,
frustration, and ticked off facial expressions during last week's
debate. And rightly so! LOL
I know I would hate to stand
there and be criticized for destroying the world for an hour and a half
on national TV. But, hey, no one's perfect. Stay the
course! Stay the course!
Click here to see the clips that the DNC put together for our maximum enjoyment.

Blog for Iowa is Six Months Old!
October 1st was Blog for Iowa's six-month anniversary.
We had our heaviest traffic ever
during the month of September, with almost 23,000 distinct hosts served
and over 44,500 page views. That's an average of over 760
visitors per day and almost 1,500 page views per day. No wonder I
have to keep upgrading our bandwidth every month. Had to upgrade
it 3 times in September.
So, as of Oct. 1, our page views for the six months we've been up total just over 156,000.
Democracy for Illinois: Sunday in the Park Without George!
Eric Davis in Illinois sent this our way
Democracy for Illinois is leading a
coalition of progressive groups across Illinois to hold “Sunday in the
Park Without George.” Modeled after similar events in New York (see www.democracyinthepark.org),
on October 10th and again on the 24th, citizens will be taking
advantage of the free weekend minutes on their cell phones to place
personal calls to undecided voters in so-called “swing states,”
primarily Wisconsin [and perhaps Iowa and/or Missouri].
Volunteer coordinators will be on-site in parks in Chicago, in the
suburbs and collar counties and in other Illinois communities such as
Rockford, Peoria and Champaign to train and help interested citizens
make their voices heard in these crucial battleground states. This is
one of several identical events planned for Illinois on this day, so
make sure this is the one closest to you!
