Something more radical than signing online petitions....

So far we're offering four online actions. But if you want to do something a bit more active then you might want to get involved with US Uncut.

Some progressive election guides...

This is a progressive organization so here are some progressive voting guides.

Here are two voting guides that I trust. The first is from Keystone Progressives.

The second is from my fake virtual girlfriend Agent Ska.

Both guides punt on the Wagner vs. Valerie McDonald Roberts race. I'm punting too. Whoever won I voted for you! That's my story...

Infographic on how corporations don't pay their taxes.

I've been thinking about US Uncut and how best that movement could achieve its goals. I really think the best tactic would be open support of the People's budget. In the meantime, before I get around to that, here's an infographic on how corporations don't pay their taxes.

Keith Olbermann is online and is going to Current TV

I was talking to someone at the door, who was politically knowledgeable which is great, and she had asked me what happened to Keith Olbermann. Well, Keith Olbermann is online and will soon be joining Current TV and not just as a high paid flunky, or high paid slave as one Steelers running back would describe it. This time Keith has an ownership stake. And of course he can self post on the Internet where no one can censor him. This is why the Internet is better than cable.

You can find Keith's site here.

More bad ideas from Governor Tom Corbett

The fair solution, of course, are tax hikes--targeted at the wealthy and corporations--and not kicking the public in the teeth. Our GOP Pennsylvania governor has chosen the latter decision.

Here's his latest bad idea:

EDINBORO, Pa.—Some Pennsylvania universities should consider drilling for natural gas below campus to help solve their financial problems, Gov. Tom Corbett said Thursday. The Erie Times-News reported that Corbett made the suggestion during an appearance at a meeting of the Pennsylvania Association of Councils of Trustees at Edinboro University.
Corbett said six of the 14 campuses in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education are located on the Marcellus Shale formation, part of a vast region of underground natural gas deposits that are currently being explored and extracted.

It should also be pointed out that fracking is actually kind of dangerous. We don't know quite how dangerous because the regulated have bought off the regulators (in both parties...has anyone gone to jail over the BP disaster...anybody?) but even the EPA has taken notice. Just a bad idea. And you know what's worse? Corbett isn't even the worst of these worst than you thought Republican governors. We might have caught a break. (See here and here.)
