Can someone please beg him to be a contributor to Feministing?

Okay...adding to my intellectual crush list:

1) Rachel Maddow (no explanation required)
2) Eugene Robinson (for quotes like [url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/01/AR2008090101716.html?nav=emailpage]this[/url]:

"The other thing we learned about McCain is that he is willing to take an enormous gamble based on limited information. He only met Palin once before summoning her for a final interview. He realized he needed to shake up the presidential race, and that's what he did. But we are reminded, if we did not realize it before, that the three things not to expect from a McCain presidency are caution, prudence and a willingness to always put the nation's interests above his own."

And for all the times during the primaries when some stupid commentator expected him to speak for all of Black America and he didn't smack them upside the head.

3) Jay Smooth. (Also self explanatory.)

I don't understand why the Republicans treat community organizing as if its inconsequential. Community organizing is connecting with people at the most intimate and personal levels; it's grassroots activism at its finest. And, it gets results. Just read Charles Payne's "I've Got the Light of Freedom: The Organizing Tradition and the Mississippi Freedom Struggle" to see how effective community organizing can be. In fact, Martin Luther King, Jr. may have motivated the masses, but it was community organizing that formed the foundation for much of the entire American civil rights movement's gains.

As a social historian, I prefer to focus not on the few, often highly-embellished and mythologized elites, but on the average, ordinary people who make up the bulk of society. For it is the thousands upon thousands of small personal choices made by men and women every day that have the most far-reaching impact in producing change. Barack Obama gets this. The grand old party, unfortunately, does not.

Thank you for posting that. Made me feel a little better about the world.

If MSNBC would give him a show after Rachel Maddow and Keith Olberman THAT would be awesome and it'd be the best three (or two and a half) hours of television. :)

This was a great video. All of his stuff is really funny.

I've posted it, and my thoughts on Palin's comments, on my blog.

Yay for self promotion!

Oh, and thanks to Jay Smooth for always putting out an awesome product.

That was great I have never seen him before I'll have to subscribe on youtube.
