Are politics atrocious or are we in the golden age of comedy?
I've been a bit under the weather for a few days, but I don't want you to miss a fantastic article that was written by Mr. Joe Rothstein last week in U.S. Politics Today, "Colbert for President? His Candidacy Is Telling Us A Lot About The Failures of Both Major Parties."

Welcome to Unity08
Welcome to Unity08’s new web site. We are very excited to finally set the tone and direction for how we are going to accomplish our goal of remaking American politics by combining our highest values with our newest technologies. If this is your first time here, then we welcome you to Unity08! If you have experienced our site before, you’ll know that this is a major release for us.
Welcome to your new community!
Together, with your comments and our labor, we’ve created a community to foster constructive conversation and action amongst our membership about the candidates, the issues, and the movement. We thank you for your help, but the hard work is just beginning.
This is not just a simple makeover. This is a new neighborhood built from the ground up. Over the last three months we have redesigned the infrastructure, from roads to roofs and from top to bottom, in order to be prepared for the millions of members that will take part in the largest online, secure convention ever.
Two New Polls Created
Please take the time to provide your opinion on the two new polls that have been created.
- Do you think the average congressperson deserves to be reelected, or would it be better to throw most out and start over?
- How much trust and confidence do you have in the mass media when it comes to reporting the news fully, accurately, and fairly?
