The Center for American Progress and The Century Foundation hosted the “America in the World” conference to explore how the United States can restore its leadership for a more peaceful, prosperous, and secure world.

The conference brought together leading thinkers from government, academia, the military, and the non-governmental sector to discuss the peace and security issues that will shape the public agenda over the coming years. Keynote speakers included former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR), and former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski. Panel discussions focused on four topics: energy and the environment, the Middle East, America’s defense posture, and the global economy.

The Courthouse Effect

Global warming can't seem to stay out of the news lately. Whether it's because of Al Gore's new movie, newly released reports from the National Academy of Sciences, or newly uttered flubs by our president, the subject has been everywhere. It's tempting to think that some critical mass is building--that the way we talk and think about this issue may forever change because of all the current attention and increased public awareness. On the other hand, the history of the global warming debate in the United States shows that there have been longstanding cycles of attention followed by inattention followed by attention again. Perhaps we're just in another attentive period at the moment.

On Monday, I talked a little about what's at stake in this election. And today, I'd like to expand on that some more. Now that the stupid scandals are gone and we're all focusing again on the economy, now's the perfect time.

Wow! So John McCain has really proven his "feminist" street cred by picking Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his VP. Oh yes, and aren't they both such mavericks! McCain-Palin just smells like real change now, doesn't it?

FLINT, Mich. – Former Vice President Al Gore will appear in Detroit tonight for his debut campaign appearance with Senator Barack Obama, extending an endorsement and urging all Democrats to rally behind the party’s fall ticket.

“A few hours from now I will step on stage in Detroit, Michigan to announce my support for Senator Barack Obama,” Mr. Gore said in an e-mail sent to his supporters. “From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected President of the United States.”

Bill Clinton in Lousiana - FHA

The Geaux family had the fantastic opportunity of hearing Bill Clinton today in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The venue was a small auditorium at a community college, seating probably 350 people, and with a crowd overflow outside of the building. We were in one of the last small groups that were allowed in and sat probably 6 rows away from the podium.

The Real War on Christmas: The Eviction of Santa Claus

Submitted by ms in la on August 19, 2007 - 6:39pm.

There's been a vicious land grab going on behind the scenes at the North Pole to take over the rights to the region, and Mr. & Mrs. Claus and the elves have nothing to say about it.

What kind of unconscionable rascals could possibly be behind an eminent domain conspiracy to oust Santa from his longtime home at the North Pole?
