That would be a free virtual ticket. If you cannot make it to Pittsburgh, do the next best thing and Come to Netroots Nation in Second Life. You will still get to see Big Dawg, hang out and chat with award winning bloggers, attend a Second-Life-exclusive interview with Markos at Virtually Speaking, attend panels, and you'll even get to catch a few great flicks: Silent Partners, A Soldiers Peace, and Mountain Top Removal.

There is both a program schedule and a social schedule at NNinSL.org.

What does the secession from office of Governor Palin mean? We know it has something to do with dead fish and basketball. That was clear from her speech, but keen observers think there may be more on Sarah’s horizon than Russia.

Now is the time for women to protect our country by putting forward a Republican ticket in the proud tradition of First Women such as Maggie Thatcher and Indira Gandhi. We can show true equality between the sexes by supporting these proud conservative women with the intellectual fortitude of George Bush and Dan Quayle, the eloquent expression of a Sanford email, and the class and beauty of a Katherine Harris. This ticket would obliterate forever the need for women to be better than men just to compete.

It is the job of university administrators to bring prestige and honor to their institutions, and I am sure that the administrators at ASU thought that they had done just that when the sitting President of the United States accepted their invitation for commencement speaker. Sadly another job of administrators is to understand the contextual factors of their university.

Did some poor administrator at ASU forget that he or she was working in the state that refused the Martin Luther King Day holiday or that still has not come to terms with Daylight Savings Time? This is the state where Sheriff Joseph M. Arpaio is considered a hero! Poor ASU Presdent Michael Crowe! Is it getting a little harder for you to fend off the calls to take a pay cut?

I am a futurist, by profession and by nature. We study the future by understanding the past and cultivating a highly analytical awareness of the presence. I am honored to be an educator. I am also blessed with a rich and full life in peace.

One of the greatest gifts has been my friends that are woven into the fabric of my life like threads from all across the earth. There are no more cherished or finer threads in my life than three women who extend from my youth to today. It is for these women that I write this diary with tears in my eyes and love in my heart.

We first came together at a football game, which would be an ironic picture if you knew us all. Huddled together against the cold under army surplus blankets were my two best friends from the fourth grade, Jewish sisters, with a girl from one of our area’s most prominent Lebanese families, and they were in a hot discussion on how to solve the problems in the Middle East. Brilliant and passionate political discussion in friendship among women so young created a magical moment in time that I wish so much that I could play back today.

Native people in South Dakota do not have an equal opportunity to vote in this election.
The story on NPR
Tonight, I am extremely anxious. I am a Democrat who lives in a red state that she loves, but for the first time in my middle-aged adult life, my vote for President has a chance, however small, to count in the electoral college. I am used to disappointment in early November. My life experience has been fraught with the good guy not winning.

Today, I look at my pink state on the Pollster map. There is actually a poll where Obama is within 5 points.
