Around the Tubes - 8/22/07

  • Embedding is disabled, but Obama is getting a shout-out from Common in his latest video. Watch it on YouTube, or read about it at the Students for Barack Obama Blog. It's not Mosh - it's more a cameo than a call to action - but it's pretty cool. And hey, it's Common. If you haven't seen it lately, Obama's been getting more love recently from the Hip Hop community. Since he graced this month's cover of Vibe (and sat for a Q&A), the traditional media is also starting to notice.
  • Brave New Films has a scary new piece illustrating the similarities between the run up to the Iraq War and the current debate on Iran that is happening in the media:

  • Speaking of the war, here's a video of Iraq Veterans Against the War speaking out at Yearly Kos:

  • On this issue of the troops vs. the pundits, check out this piece by Paul Reickhoff of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America over at Huffington Post (hat tip to Blue Heretic).
  • DNC Chair Howard Dean continues to give big props to young people as the future of the party. Apparently his remarks at Yearly Kos are becoming something of a stump speech. Now all he has to do is convince the neolithic state parties to undo the purse strings and offer their young constituents a well-resourced place at the table.
  • Finally, I don't normally shill products (and I'm not getting paid for this), but this seems like a handy tool for bloggers and activists alike. And ePolitics runs down some potential uses.
