Recently NPR aired a story based on information obtained via torture.  NPR did not perform the torture, nor did they witness it.  But they knew that's where the information came from and aired the story anyway.  In fact, the torture had been so recent that the victims were still bloody and one was sobbing, facts that were related in the original story.

Almost in tears here. I am seriously dumbfounded. It is the late 1930s in Germany, if not later.

I've been pretty tolerant of whatever ads Kos wants to run, mainly arguing that whatever brings in the simoleons is fine if site owners OK it. HOWEVER

In July I did a diary showing how AirAmerica had done up through Spring 2005. Today the last of the Summer 2005 ratings were made public, so I can once again, in the spirit of a reality-based community, present the most recent information.

(From the diaries. Interesting stuff -- kos)

I'm sure everyone is wondering if AirAmerica is succeeding or failing. Well, I've done the research and I can tell you the answer. Numbers and graphs inside.

Connect these dots:

• Why did the Reps want to destroy Social Security?  Why was their second plan to just remove it from the middle class?
• What's one of the biggest concerns in the mind of the public?

Everybody wants the moderate voter.  Without the huge mass of the middle, nobody can win elections.  But Democrats and Republicans have been appealing to these voters in different ways and only one side is working well.  Here's how to tip it back.
