I was just asked last minute to jump in and Guest Host The Young Turks radio program on Tuesday from 6p-9p ET (3p-6p PT). When an opportunity arises to “Be the Media”, you know I’m always happy to answer the call. As best as I can. Even at last minute. Cuz somebody’s got to.
I’m happy to say I’ll be sitting in along with the good Michael Shure once again.
Please tune in via Sirius Satellite Channel 146 or watch/listen to the LIVE video webcast at www.TheYoungTurks.com. Call in to say hey, if you like, at 866-99SIRIUS!
Amongst Tonight’s Special Guests (so far) …
+ Ion Sancho, Supervisor of Elections, Leon County, FL
(he, of the now-infamous Diebold “hack test”!)
+ Lowell Finley, Attorney, Co-Director of VoterAction.org
(he, of the CA Diebold decertification lawsuit, and Sequoia temp restraining order in NM!)
+ Kay Brown, Comm. Director for DNC in Alaska
(they, of the Alaska/Diebold 2004 Election Data bait and switch!)
More to be announced tonight. Feel free to call in to the show tonight and help us stir up trouble and save democracy at the same time!
Brad, wil be watching that 😉
If you get this in time, Brad, then please mention Jill Carroll and call for people to light a fire under the State Dept.’s ass to get her freed. I’m trying to get the big dogs to mobilize people but so far I’m not getting any co-operation from the blogosphere. Except criticism for my increasingly strident language. Aw. Get the fuck over it. A girl’s life is in danger. You think I give a fuck about their "feelings"?
Chrish at Newshounds promised to tell Young Turks about this but it’s always good to cover your bases.
In the meantime, remember that Carnival Cruise Lines scandal that you’d blogged about last year? Here’s a followup. Surprise, surprise. Jeb Bush was instrumental in getting that $230,000,000+ contract. Waxman is calling for an investigation.
Great job tonoc – that is a great show and you were great on it!
Just finished dinner with my boss – a personal friend of Senator (yuck) Frist. I have been invitied to dinner with them – how can I be expected to sit at the same table as a man that I have ABSOLUTELY no respect for?? I guess I could kiss my career goodbye and simply unload on him. Where to start with so much to discuss? He is truly one of the worst of the worst.

Former Conyers aides press ethics complaints
By Jonathan E. Kaplan
Two former aides to Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) have alleged that he repeatedly violated House ethics rules.
Deanna Maher, a former deputy chief of staff in Conyers’s Detroit office, and Sydney Rooks, a former legal counsel in the district office, provided evidence for the allegations by sharing numerous letters, memorandums and copies of e-mails, handwritten notes and expense reports with The Hill.
