Andrew Hoppin (of Draft Clark and CivicSpaceLabs fame) has a new project called GoodStorm. It is a socially progressive Cafe Press. THe site allows users to upload images and create products (t-shirts) that are sold through a webstore on the goodstorm site. The actual products are printed to order, so there is no risk for the organization creating the product. GoodStorm has just introduced some social networking functionality that will let folks talk about the products, what they mean, connect with friends and cross promote each other’s stores. It really is a great site. I have a store up that I am still working on “stocking”. See what Andrew has to say, and check out...

This should be illegal. John Ashcroft is now a lobbyist! “Clients would call in an individual who has a reputation for the highest level of integrity,” he said in an interview in his office. “Those who have been in government should not be forbidden from helping people deal with government, which is what I see myself doing.” In the hourlong interview, Mr. Ashcroft used the word “integrity” scores of...

Great clip from CBS on Zipcar and car sharing. I would love to create a site/tool that allows folks to set up their own car sharing co-ops. Aaron and I were talking about this during my trip to the Bay Area last week. Wouldn’t it be great if I could log on to a website that would help me to car share planning, including calculating rates/contributions, point me to the right insurance, etc… and allow car sharers to lobby government for things like tax insentives and better parking? ZipCar.com...

<p>I just finished the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/12/magazine/312bwarner.html?ex=1143090000&en=0b8f3626e83ac6d2&ei=5070" target="new">Mark Warner profile piece in the NYT Magazine</a>/</p> <p>Mark seems like a good guy. Would probably make a good president and will be a decent candidate, he might be able to capture the nomination. But do the dems really want Mark Warner? He would be perhaps the most centrist democratic presidential candidate in history. Haven't we realized we can't beat the republicans by being the tru compassionate conservatives? That is not the point of this post though.</p> <p>a few quotes that struck me in the article:<br /> <cite><br /> As Donna Brazile, the veteran organizer who ran Gore's campaign, says, in critical black districts, "Bill Clinton is beloved, and to the extent that these voters have a chance to cast their votes early in the process, it will be very difficult to stop her nomination." Little wonder, then, that when I asked Joe Trippi, the highly-caffeinated Internet genius who orchestrated Dean's insurgency, how Warner or one of the other candidates would go about taking the nomination from Clinton, he actually laughed at me…</cite></p> <p><cite><br /> The question is, Who? "This sounds absolutely strange coming from me, because I never in life thought I would utter these words again," Brazile says, "but Al Gore." It's true that Gore has been a fiery critic of Bush in recent months, but former advisers who still talk to him say he seems genuinely uninterested.</cite></p> <p>and<br /> <cite><br /> And yet, Warner, like most of his rivals, intends to make a play for Dean-style Democrats. One of Warner's first hires, even before he left office, was Jerome Armstrong,...
