Since only eight of the vaunted "millions" of TPM users rec'd the original post and no one (huh?) commented, I'm reposting this. Lots of people who saw the trailer said they wanted to see the movie and I don't know...
Don't press "Play" just yet.Quick promises are the least fulfilled. In previous posts I declared that the premiere of my little movie would occur within x days, and that certainly seemed likely to me at the time. Forgive my wild...
Just a quick note to anyone who might have been waiting for the premiere of "Health Care in Black & White." Yes, the film is on its way, but not today as promised. (Yeah, I know. So sue me. It's...
The scheduled premier of "Health Care in Black & White" has been delayed until Monday at noon. Please be patient. My computer's CPU is nearly in flames as it processes the video, sound and special effects required for the final...
A couple days ago, I posted a blog entry complaining of the too cozy a relationship between public radio and its for-profit business donors. While I still think there is undue influence, I'm happy to report that yesterday PRI's program...
"Health Care in Black & White" will premiere here at 6 p.m. Eastern Saturday night, but the critics are already raving!WHAT CRITICS ARE SAYING ✯✯✯✯✯ "... a taut sci-fi-drama-suspense-thriller-political-love story that will make you laugh out loud!"-- Mipperc R. Cord,...
Just today, the nexus of public radio and private profits gave us NPR's national political corespondent and "Fox News Sunday" pundit Mara Liasson Liarsson defending Obama's critics like Joe Wilson as no more caustic or irrational than George Bush's critics....
Actor and dancer Patrick Swayze died at the age of 57 today after a long, brave battle with pancreatic cancer, which is almost always fatal. Not that I was a big fan, but I did like him in "Roadhouse" and...
Note: This is a repost of an item that got pushed off the board by spam and long posts almost as soon as it appeared earlier today. I'd hate for you to miss the point: You may not even have...
To Deep Brain Diarist, dickday and others who tend to write long, please use the extended tab so that more recent posts stay on the aggregate blog's front page longer. I wrote one about half an hour ago. It's already...
The following video is a teaser of what I have been working on in my spare time (of which I have lots) for the past two weeks. When finished, my short film should be about 15 minutes long. Of course,...
Don't waste all day talking about Sen. Joe Asshat.Call, fax AND email the White House and your congressional delegation today in support of the president's speech, passage of health care and the public option. Don't think about it. Don't waste...
Take a look at this post, perhaps the best explanation yet of the anger that Rep. Joe Dumbass displayed last night. Whoever the longtime TPM reader is, he has it exactly right. Here's part of it below. Don't miss reading...
President Obama served notice to Republicans tonight that bipartisanship only goes so far. He can play hardball as well as anyone.So the president repeatedly used the politically verboten word "lie" to describe ... Republican lies. He said he would "call...
TPM's front page this weekend teases the story that the White House is negotiating with Sen. Olympia Snowe for her support in a compromise that might garner her vote and satisfy progressives. The teaser link asks "Public Option With Trigger...

Please signify by commenting "yes" below if you have contacted a federal official (White House or office of a senator or congressman) THIS WEEK in support of the Public Option....
The past few days are rife with signals from the White House that President Obama may use his address to a joint session of Congress next Wednesday to reposition himself on health care reform--specifically, that he may drop his support...
I'm a liberal, not a knee-jerk liberal. I want a public option in health care, but that doesn't automatically mean I think Obama should withdraw from Afghanistan. George Will is wrong again or still wrong, depending on your viewpoint.Quagmire in...
When Republicans say they love America, I take them at their word. I certainly don't believe many of them hate this country.But some on the Very Far Right -- a small Tea Party's worth of Republicans, LaRouche followers and Ron...
