Last I heard, we were keeping it on the down low.

Also on Monday, June 16, at 7:30 am (CDT), three of Metro Council’s finest
- Emily Evans, Jason Holleman, and Mike Jameson – will join us to talk about their swim across the Cumberland River. The Thursday, June 19th (5:00 PM) trek will, according to organizer Evans, prove the long-neglected river is now clean and safe. ” Crazy publicity stunt?” Creative way to draw attention to a valuable Tennessee resource? We interview. You decide.

What did we say?!? Stop thinking about big ears…long trunk…and enormous toes on ginormous feet. Ok, fine. If we can’t get you to not think of the two ton you-know-what in the room, then maybe George Lakoff can. Dr. Lakoff, the author of the superb Don’t Think of An Elephant, has just written a new primer on how Democrats can use language to win back the White House this November. We’ll talk to him on Monday morning, June 16, at 8:10 am central about The Political Mind: Why You Can’t Understand 21st-Century American Politics with an 18th-Century Brain, and hope to God that Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Howard Dean, and Barack Obama are listening.

I’m not going to repeat or link to anything Bill Hobbs actually blows hard about, but the man wouldn’t know truth or nuance if it bit him in his pay pal tip jar.

President Bush and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced aneconomic stimulus package that promises to put at a $600 tax rebate check in the hands of an estimated 16 million families. Total coast of the package is $150 billion (approximately $100 billion in rebates for families and $50 billion in tax cuts for businesses). I mean, why not? It’s our money, right?
Well, no. Our money’s already been spent. Remember that pesky 9 trillion dollar deficit?
VolunteerVoters.com has a great roundup of reaction to this latest move. My favorites – Aunt B. who is already spending the money, “I’m hoping for $800, only because I’d like to put it towards my medical debt, which will stimulate the economy by… um… okay, I’ll put some towards my medical debt and blow some at Amazon,” and Sarcastro’s “Getting rid of debt is a far more sound economic policy than tossing a few coins at the plebes during an election year. On his way out the door, George W. Bush is giving us the “Your money’s on the dresser. I’m through with you.”

Summary: In this segment we learn that persistence is the key to accountability. Plus, we’re joined by Rob Richie, Executive director of FairVote, an organization with the goal of transforming our elections to include a constitutionally protected right to vote, a national popular vote for president, instant runoff voting for executive elections and proportional voting for legislative elections. After the Iowa Caucus he wrote, “Iowa and the early primaries highlight the need — and real opportunity — for reform of our electoral system.” Boy, he must really hate Mike Huckabee.
