Here's a few of the stories and blog posts that clogged up my inbox and RSS Reader this weekend while I was taking a break in the Big Easy:

• WireTap digs in and pushes back against McCain's claims of courting the youth vote
• CREW reports that the DC Attorney General continues to harass Rev. Lennox Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus, this time for a peaceful protest of the war held late last year. The Rev. faces disorderly conduct charges. A similar, previous complaint by the DC AG against Rev. Yearwood was dropped.
• In the Politico, Ben Adler reports on the Catherine Rampell WaPo Op-Ed, noting that the youth vote was trending up long before Sen. Obama's campaign.
• Finally, Stephan Colbert interviewed Clay Shirky about his new book, Here Comes Everybody, a great primer for how social technologies are changing they dynamics and limits of group action.
